Of course I pray she has a full recovery and is fine, because while I disagree with her about everything, she is my coworker and I want her to be healthy. Plus she actually has a very important role in our small business.
That said, I can't help but laugh about the irony!
I'm still the only pure blood in the office, have never gotten COVID (while 2 of my vaccinated coworkers did) and everyone now is clamoring to schedule their boosters -- including a pregnant woman!! I've gotten to the point now where it's too late, their minds won't be changed, and I just hope they're getting saline solution.
No my dude, this is how a rational and responsible person acts:
"So this new thing i have absolutely no idea about, should i normalize it to the degree of being as fundamental part of society, as marriage is?"
"What's my position to alter such a fundamental aspect of society?"
"Why was this not normalized in any society in any part of the world?"
"Why don't they just ask for civil union or something else that is not marriage to begin with, insisting on altering what marriage is instead?"
I could go on and on.
Last but not least, the first thing i would expect from you is at least some admission of fault for not doing any of this and some interest in doing some research yourself.
I do have an idea about gay marriage though. I've had long discussions about it with people in my life. Gay marriage is not a new concept to me.
Ultimately, I think it SHOULD be a fundamental part of society, if two people choose to get married. I see no argument against why. Man/woman, man/man, woman/woman doesn't matter if it's not my relationship. Society gets altered every single day. Society constantly is evolving with changing technology and ideals. Change itself isn't a bad thing, unless the change is negative.
My whole argument is that I don't see what is negative about this change.
Just because it hasn't been normalized elsewhere is not a good argument for me, because IMO it SHOULD be permitted elsewhere too. Luckily there are many countries that do allow it, and I think that's a good thing.
Why does marriage HAVE to be between a man and a woman though?
Gay marriage is something I've done plenty of research on. For some reason your thought process appears to be I haven't done enough research until I've agreed with you. The fact that it is a change doesn't make things bad. If gay marriage were a BAD thing, then I would absolutely fight against it. But I don't know why it is BAD.
You're telling me that it's a change to traditional marriage, and that no other country is going it. Okay so what? Is that because it's BAD? If it's not bad, then who cares?
If the only argument is that it's not normal...then so what? It doesn't matter what's normal or not if two people choose to spend their lives with each other.
It's bad that in your mind no possibility exists that homosexuality had not been normalized for valid reasons.
in your mind there exist no negative or even possible negative effect and you decided this a priori.
I would expect it stems from a desire to be different and oppose the status quo just because.
Well, yeah. Exactly. I see no negative effects.
What negative effects do you see?
what do you know about homosexuality?
