Why do people find my beliefs so offensive?

Well, the most obvious one is demographics. Go ask the Soviets, er I mean Russians, how well their family policies with respect to the sanctity of marriage have worked out. Or go to China and see how their one child policy is about to detonate their society. The greatest indicator of financial and social stability is a man, a woman and children under one roof.

The difference is that I am not forcing stupid policies on anyone. I'm not forcing you to stop having children and start taking it up the butt. I'm saying that marriage isn't something that the government should have any hand in because their input is unwanted and unneeded in that area.

Please try to articulate an actual argument against this and don't send me around looking for information that isn't even relevant.

I have articulated an actual argument, so the ball is in your court.

Where's the party for the fiscally conservative and socially liberal

There's a good reason why such a party doesn't exist, and it's not because everyone other than you is "stupid."

[RancidSumo]

Well your a better man than most. I try to live by that saying as a golden rule. I must admit it causes some internal moral conflict. You must be a pretty laid back dude.

I try to be. It sure as hell makes life easier and more fun

No you haven't. You brought up an example of government oppression (China) and I don't even know what you are getting at with the Russia comment so be a pal and explain your argument in clear terms to an idiot like me.

Which means what exactly?

They aren't stupid, they are just immoral if they want to force their views on others.

Not being directed at anyone yet, unless you already know who you are.

You aren't an idiot, but you are not very good at baiting me into over-reacting. Anyway, re-read the last sentence - the greatest indicator of financial and social stability is a man and a woman with children under one roof.
