Essentially, the mere concept highlights most of what is wrong with humanity. To begin with, it is so unbelievably hypocritical it's beyond words.<br /><br />EVERYONE has a very defined idea of what marriage and sex should and shouldn't be. From sexual positions, to possible partners, to fetishes, everyone thinks that some forms of sex are extremely wrong for no other reason than "it feels wrong." NOBODY thinks that "everyone should be allowed to marry anyone/anything they wants." NOBODY. But by doing so, you're invariably restricting marriage to what YOU feel is right and everyone who disagrees with your own narrow definition of marriage can go to hell for all you care.<br /><br />To prove it, I just need two words: incest and pedophilia. The one and only reason anyone thinks incest is wrong is because it creeps the hell out of you to think about a brother and sister having sex. You might try to claim that it's because the increased probability of genetic disorders on their offspring but that's just a rationalization. If they promised not to have children, would it be OK to allow siblings to marry each other?<br /><br />And pedophilia? How many people here (event the adamant pro-gay-rights crowd) automatically assumed pedophilia is the same as child molestation? Pedophilia is a desire, child molestation is an action. Two very different things; one of which is perfectly legal. Claiming that all pedophiles are child molesters is akin to claiming that all straight men are rapist because they become sexually aroused when they see a porn scene involving rape.<br /><br />Would it be OK for you if your neighbor was a pedophile, but he never touched a child, he only "relieved" himself with adult dwarf prostitutes dressed as little girls and by plastering pictures of babies' faces on top of pictures of musclebound guys? Would you be OK if someone created a videogame that allowed players to have virtual sex with children? Would you be OK if someone created a RealDoll (as in a sex doll) with the shape of a 10-year-old girl? No? Why? Would any of that hurt any actual children in any way?<br /><br />And don't get me talking or I'll bring zoophilia and necrophilia into play as well. Then I'll get really creepy...A different anonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-90051173397560510252012-05-10T17:17:32.929+02:002012-05-10T17:17:32.929+02:00I still don't understand why people who "...I still don't understand why people who "don't five a fuck about Venezuela" and other hateful individuals read this blog.
