Twelve Reasons Gay Marriage Will Ruin Society |
1. Homosexuality is not natural, much like eyeglasses, polyester, and birth
control.
2. Heterosexual marriages are valid because they produce children. Infertile
couples and old people can't legally get married because the world needs
more children.
3. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents
only raise straight children.
4. Straight marriage will be less meaningful, since Britney Spears' 55-hour
just-for-fun marriage was meaningful.
5. Heterosexual marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at
all; just like women are property, blacks can't marry whites, and divorce is
illegal.
6. Gay marriage should be decided by people not the courts, because the
majority-elected legislatures, not courts, have historically protected the
rights of the minorities.
7. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the
values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have
only one religion in America.
8. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that
hanging around tall people will make you tall.
9. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy
behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal
standing and can sign a marriage contract.
10. Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at
home. That's why single parents are forbidden to raise children.
11. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society. Heterosexual
marriage has been around for a long time, and we could never adapt to new
social norms because we haven't adapted to cars or longer lifespans.
12. Civil unions, providing most of the same benefits as marriage with a
different name, are better because a "separate but equal" institution is
always constitutional. Separate schools for African-Americans worked just as
well as separate marriages for gays and lesbians will.

"Often a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and
the other parts of the world, about the motions and orbits of the stars
and even their sizes and distances,... and this knowledge he holds with
certainty from reason and experience.
It is thus offensive and disgraceful for an unbeliever to hear a
Christian talk nonsense about such things, claiming that what he is
saying is based in Scripture. We should do all that we can to avoid such
an embarrassing situation, lest the unbeliever see only ignorance in the
Christian and laugh to scorn."

As they should. It seems to be a pretty accurate rendition of the

I'll bet that they even cite "Big Daddy" as a scientific paper

None, yet. I need to replace my wife's desktop, so that frees up a 300

Might I suggest that you look into Linspire - http://www.linspire.com/
It is probably not what you want if you are planning to learn how to
compile and run Linux using a command line interface. It *is* a non M$
product that installs and behaves in much the same way as Winblows thus
taking the pain out of getting up and running. If you wife wants to use
the 'puter for Email and surfing the web, it would probably work out
well and be a good way to "get your feet wet" when it comes to Linux.

I was thinking of something a little challenging, but I hadn't
considered moving the wife to Linux. That's actually not a bad idea.
More likely to succeed with her. Thanks!

Myself, I would avoid Linspire. Last I knew, they were running everything
as root which is stupid as can be. That's a "script kiddie's" dream...

Apparently you can alter this, but like much of Microsoft's products,
the default is the least secure. That's "most functional" in newspeak.
