- captinherb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1611. Since gay people can't have kids, the world will run out of people.
- captinherb, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11It warms my heart to think of all the religious nutters that are going to click this link all excited only to become enraged.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9That statement applies only if you are religious. To non religious "folk" there is no sin. Only right and wrong. And whose to say that this is wrong? The flying spaghetti monster?
- VolatileWhimsy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10This was kinda funny.
- simeonb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8You see it as a sin because you have been told to see it that way. No one is forcing you into a gay marriage. Is it your responsibility to choose what others do with their lives in aspects that have nothing to do with you?
- captinherb, on 10/12/2007, -2/+812. The only purpose of marriage is to have kids. Thats why we don't allow infertile or old people to marry.
- rhawk301, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6This story got me thinking. I personally do not believe the gay lifestyle should be a normal part of our society, however, we are a free country. I believe 100% in the freedom of the individual. I also believe in the founding documents of this country, and in the way America was supposed to be run as a country.
I don't believe gay marriage is against the constitution. Since religion in this country is protected, and a single nationwide religion should not be constructed, my personal views and that of the various religions should not outweigh the rights of the individual or state/federal laws.
In this country, as with many others, we take religion very seriously, kind of like football. Don't mess with God, or your favorite team, eh?
I am not going to take a stand right now, in this digg article on gay marriage, but everyone out there should think really hard about what made this country great, and where we are heading now. I don't think a few queer people are going to change the stability of the nation. That also means that if you are gay, don't ever intrude in my right to free speech, or religion. Please keep in mind that we are granted the freedom OF religion and not the freedom FROM it. thanks for listening. - marko25, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Sarcastic and funny.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Yea its pretty sad what some homophobes will do...
- captinherb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Alright, now why the hell was this story buried? This is really getting out of hand.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Mods should unbury this.
- captinherb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@wbfickle
I don't think this was homophobes. This was either Digg moderators that didn't read the damn article, or it was users in which case the algorithm isn't working right meaning people that never clicked the link were able to bury it. Also it should take into account how fast it was rising. It had 44 diggs in an hour and a half, that should offset people clicking the bury button.
This is happening more and more frequently and articles like this

that are clearly inaccurate, as many people in the comments pointed out and I would assume many people marked it as such, and it never got buried and never got an inaccurate tag. - simeonb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I buried it on accident before realizing it was satire. I guess it is a lesson to be learned on overreacting.
- PaulRay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2rhawk,
You have given me hope in a small way. Although you disagree with the concept of gay marriage, but support a person's right to their life. I applauder your maturity.
This IS what the USA was based on. This IS what makes the USA great.
I don't agree with your point of view against gay marriage/lifestyle, but I defend your right to have that opinion.
I am not gay, but have had and have many friends who are. Gay people are first and foremost, People. We must never forget that. - Oatmeal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This is a great article, but keep in mind that the author of that blog entry did not write it. This article has been floating around the internet for years.
- PaulRay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I found this article on Reddit and clicked on it to rant about bigotry etc. Then to my surprise, the points were a satirical look at narrow thinking. That lead me to digg the article and post this comment. It also shows that people need to read the articles BEFORE Digging them up or down.
I'm thankful that there are still Americans who can look past their personal opinions and exercise tolerance and understanding. - geezas, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3digging by just reading the title?
...sounds very ignorant... - flyingwyvern, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Heehee...melikes #5.
This needs more diggs. I was about to get annoyed, looking at the title, and then I read it. Nice. - captinherb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1More diggs isn't going to do anything, it's already buried.
- lemcoe9, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2lol
- PinkZiab, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Absolutely loved it. Makes you realize just how ridiculous 99.9% of the arguments against gay marriage really are (although, for the life of me, I can't even think of which .01% of them might be valid, but there's always a chance).
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1yea i emailed him the source and he posted a link at the bottom of the article.
- fairyperson2, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0I think this is a very mean thing to write. I myself am not gay and therefore am not bias in that way but i think if gay people want to get married we should let them xxx
- jamabake, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hilarious.
- Leomarth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I loved this. It also shows the fallacies in most of the anti-gay arguments. It's not just funny, its educational!
- ndurkes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0~Soniti
Tell us why you don't believe in gay marriage.... - TheHappyRobot, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2bleugh, its patriotic rants about how the US and A is so great that really sticks in the throats of non-americas.
I think your views on other people's lifestyles is on the right track but needs a little tweaking. - ChromaBlue, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2@captinherb Reed #6...or I better yet read the actual article.
- Soniti, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2Funny yes, but I still don't agree with gay marriage.
~Soniti - whiskeymb, on 10/12/2007, -19/+2Let's not forget that letting gay marriage is a sin and allowing gay people to marry is endorsing sin.
