Gay Marriage and the Church

[Pee Wee Herman]

What a big fat fuck. OAO is so fat that he needs an extra large keyboard because his fingers are too fat for a regular keyboard.

[AChimp]

Yes, and I bet he is a doo-doo head that eats his boogers, too. You ruined my joke, asshole.

[Pee Wee Herman]

Go to hell, monkey boy.

Good. But even if we assume that everyone participates in homosexual acts, this does not preclude people having heterosexual acts - it is obvious that it is not a logical contradiction to have both.

It's been a while since I've read Kant, so I don't know if the categorical imperative insists on an exclusive universality. My guess is no, but I'm not 100% sure.

I don't see what's so funny about that picture that every single person on the intarweb has to use it.

We're sorry, but your mom put it up and we just can't help ourselves.

It is only contradictory because of language abuse. There are bisexuals.

But why are we even talking about this anymore. I. DON'T. SUPPORT. KANT.

I know I don't speak for myself when I say that a lot of times I can't tell whether you're presenting an idea to play devil's advocate or because you actually believe in it.

I don't really care. I was questioning whether Kant himself would use the Categorical Imperative in the way that you described.

[punkgrrrlie10]

I'm sure Kant would question your use of him as well.

Actually, as Kant was highly religious, I agree that he would probably be opposed to homosexual marriage ... only his arguments would be much more coherent, concise and elegant than the fat boy's.
