well, i have to admit i was trying to push some buttons for my own entertainment. gorgon called me out. i'm not a homophobe by any means. if i were, i wouldn't talk to my biological father. what i don't like is a minority group of folks demanding change in what i see as traditional marriage.
i am putting myself in a time out from the forum.

Oh...Great....Throw a stink bomb in the middle of the discussion and step back while pulling out the popcorn.....

I'm sort of sorry I started this thread. In the future I would like to shy away from political hot topics here.

I'd much prefer to talk about guitars, amps and more technical topics.

Is there no link between marriage and procreation?

Procreation is entirely possible without marriage.
Marriage is entirely possible without procreation.

No.

I normally try to stay out of these conversations but I feel compelled to venture that I couldn't care less about same sex marriage one way or another. However the issue does confuse me simply for the fact that it exists in the first place. I think it's a pointless time in history for the "community" to be waging this battle. There's never been a time in history when the institution of marriage was weaker or closer to death. Divorce rates are sky rocketing. Many people marry several times without success. People's lives are being ruined at an extaordinary rate. It makes zero sense to me that people who pride themselves as being more sensitive and "evolved" would want anything to do with this near dead institution. They got by for countless years without it in the past and now that the party is all but over they want in. I don't get it.

Then, historically, what is marriage? Why was it instituted?

How would I know why marriage was instituted? I wasn't there. I did not witness its formation. That was thousands of years ago. I suppose it likely had something to do with commitment or possibly status or property exchange or maybe something else altogether or even a combination of things but who really knows? Regardless of its original intent, the simple fact is marriage is not neccessary for procreation and procreation is not neccessary in marriage. Both frequently happen without the other proving it beyond a doubt. Are you implying you've never seen or heard of a child born out of wedlock or a childless marriage? If so you should get out more.

As a libertarian I find censorship by the government infuriating. However, as Youtube is a private site I have to respect their property rights to run it anyway they see fit. Even if it sucks. Obviously most people don't agree...or they wouldn't be making money. I'm not interested in reporting other people's videos. If I don't like them I won't watch them. I find people who need to exercise this kind of "control", no matter the reason, to be very small people. I pity them.
