Sorry, Scripter, you have totally lost me. You posed several questions in your message regarding so-called "nightmare scenarios" -- i.e. what limitations (if any) there should be on same-sex marriages. I then specifically answered those questions. Now you say I am "ignoring everything" you have said. To the contrary, I specifically addressed what you said. How have I "misrepresented" your position?
You also say that I have "consistently and quite incorrectly presumed" your position. But you don't specify to what you are referring.
I have said that YOUR position is that YOU OPPOSE same-sex marriage under ANY circumstances. If I am wrong, then please correct me now and do so in clear, precise language---i.e. under what circumstances would you agree to legalize same-sex marriage?
If you're arguing for same-sex marriage, why would you want to pass laws to prevent brothers from marrying each other?
Because I am willing to listen to and address the concerns which you and others have raised in this forum. You seem to be simultaneously criticizing me for both (a) responding appropriately to your stated concerns and (b) not responding to your concerns. Which is it?
Now you define a nightmare scenario as one without any evidence. That's an interesting term to describe the situation.
Apparently, from the intensity of the comments made in this thread, many opponents believe that huge numbers of siblings (or fathers-sons; grandfather and grandson, et al) are going to rush out and attempt to get married. Furthermore, numerous three-somes and four-somes etc. want to be married. Where is the evidence to suggest that is true?. What experience have European countries had in this regard? Or how about domestic partnerships in the United States?
Many critics of gays have said that domestic partnerships is merely "step 1" on the "gay agenda" toward marriage.
OK, if that is true, then let's hear about your evidence regarding siblings that have sought to register as domestic partners. What other evidence do you have re: domestic partners registrations that illustrate the other "nightmare" scenarios that have been predicted in this thread?
I said no such thing - context is everything. You keep trying to speak for me by ignoring what I've said, and you've incorrectly assumed "my real concerns" and said "you folks [are] so convinced of your goodness and righteousness" and many other very incorrect statements.
I also said you have consistently misreprented my position by using words like hate and revulsion. Your attempts at denigrating my character are no small number.
You also keep using misdirection, and no small amount of it. At least twice now you've brought up the Bible in yet another attempt ot change the subject. The rest of your post is merely misdirection.
