I want to show you something that I found while roaming the pages of the Life Issues forum in gaiaonline. It was a link to someone's journal entry and this is what was in it:
10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage Should Be Illegal
01) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.
02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
03) 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.
04) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn’t changed at all like many of the principles on which this great country was founded; women are still property, blacks still can’t marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.
05) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of marriages like Britney Spears’ 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.
06) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn’t be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren’t full yet, and the world needs more children.
07) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
08 ) 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.
09) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That’s why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.
10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven’t adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.
02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

Just in case you didn't get it, this is a joke and highly sarcastic and I'm not being prejudiced and homophobic in the slightest.

It made me laugh because I've seen half these arguments before. And I know it's American but the people I argue with tend to be American so it's all good.
I loved writing about the interrobang last time so I'm going to find something new to learn and blog about. For da craic leh. Wanna challenge me? I got challenged to write about super continents but I doubt anyone would want to read about that... so be creative! :D

Supercontinents would've been so much more interesting.
Ahh yes, I've seen that before! There's another one similar floating around somewhere, except less sarcastic and more heartbreaking.
A challenge? Hmmm... you should write about... boggarts! And tell us what the boggarts of random people would be =D
@Emma: Aaah I like that one!
@Philip: no.
