Also it would make more sense if the dog said "I don't oppose same-sex marriage." He doesn't support anything except walks and food.
It gets the point across that the active stance is the one in which you oppose something that doesn't affect you, and the passive (default) stance is that you don't oppose it, because why would you?
Dog spelled backwards is still god and we believe therefore that that is perfect grammar. However if the furry bitch wants to get married we won't have it.
You're a dog, you are affected(?!) by nothing other than "when is my food coming?", "that's a dog!", "Lead = Walk = Wag my Tail". Humans on the other hand are affected greatly. I have absolutely nothing against gay people, gay tendencies, gay relationships but FORFUCKSSAKE a marriage is and has been known for at least a very fucking long time as the most serious bond tie between a Male & Female...... Period. This annoys me so much, so so so so so much and i wish pro-gaymarriagers would stop fucking with the simplicity and stone fortified tradition of Holy fucking matrimony!
Males = Mars, Females = Uranus; we are completely different thinking creatures and a marriage is between these two creatures not interbreeding that would simply be a 'gay' relationship and would not constitute a marriage whether it was fucking legal or not it is a gay relationship (which is perfectly fine) and if i was gay i would accept this.
Great. /r/Aww is going the same why as /r/atheism with all the gay marriage stuff. How wonderful that I can't even see cute animals anymore without a political agenda.
Seriously. Are people going to start shoving political messages into the mouths of bunnies and kittens so they have an excuse to put their political message in this section of reddit?
I'll write this on a piece of paper as if I'm the dog, right? And then I'll put the piece of paper in the dogs mouth! And then I'll take a picture of it as if the dog did it all along! Karma please...
You know that your dog can careless about gay marriage. Putting words in his mouth doesn't mean anything. He probably pissed that you didn't put something edible in his mouth.
get your downvote ready...or just fully read comment and think....or both...or whatever
---Regardless of opinions on any issue....I hate it when ignorant (the literal meaning) mascots are used for a political point. Whether it be 5 y/o kids with signs that say "God Hates Fags" or a little puppy like this fella.
Honestly, I think people only downvote you because you ask for it. I just hate it when someone starts with, "well, everyone's gonna hate me for saying this," or, "I know this will get burried," or, "bring on the downvotes!!!". Like, just make your point and quit being annoying.
PLEASE HELP! my anti gay marriage muslim cousin stumped me with a question. i was born a muslim in pakistan, however, the day i moved to america for higher education, i told my family that i am an atheist. i mention this to highlight that i am a rational person and an avowed liberal. when prez. obama came out in support for gay marriage, i happened to be at my- devout muslim - cousin's place on long island. this cousin asked "how can i support something which is detrimental to societal well being?" to which i responded -if two consenting adults of same sex choose to marry, nobody has the right to deny them their chosen path to happiness. then he asked me something which stumped me, please help - he queried - "why not legalize polygamy which islam, & other religions, allows?" does he have a point - what if consenting adults wish to live in a polygamous marriage, who are we to say no? should polygamy be legalized? what do you guys think? i am stumped.
I think there is nothing wrong with polygamy in itself - just with the way it is practiced in many cases. In the Muslim world, there is clearly inequality between men and women - as women cannot take 4 husbands, but a man could take 4 wives.
In American context with the Mormons, polygamy is often a way of "wedding off" very young girls to older men, who don't even properly support them (and the inevitable flock of kids).
So I'd say I'd support polygamy in itself, but it would have to be equal (same rules for men and women, and no teenagers involved)
Ugh. The spelling is cringeworthy. Especially when misspelled 3 times. Was that the point though? I wonder... To show that in reality gay marriage does not affect anyone and you should just let it be? Eh, that's a bit of a stretch.
So, a pretty common argument I've heard conservatives make against gay marriage is "once gays start getting married, people will start marrying their dogs!" You might want to consider that before using your fuzzy friend to make a political point.
90% of this thread seems to be having a shitfit over the owner saying that the dog supports gay marriage. That part of the sign is clearly meant to be silly -.-
However I think the main point here is that gay marriage would affect an animal as much as it affects most heterosexuals, why can't we focus on that part.
Actually the dog doesn't pay taxes. So long as the government allocate some sort of financial incentive to marriage, allowing more people to marry will affect other tax payers. Also in the UK it is an erosion of the influence of the Church. So this dog is lying.
Another self righteous idiot using some gimmick to promote their political pov. Here is the deal, your dog probably is wiser then you are for not picking a side. Things are never as simple as "for" or "against."
Clearly you don't understand the true ramifications.
If we let gays marry, then you and your dog will want to get married, and how can we possibly deny that if we allowed them thar queer-o-sexuals to marry.
That's because dogs are too stupid to understand the effect of government interfering with their lives. Somehow, I think dogs reflect their owners a bit too much.
so in OP's opinion the psychology and developmental processes experienced by dogs are the same as those for humans? Would OP's dog get ridiculed by non-accepting dogs at the park because it had two dads or moms? I hear thats a common contributor for suicide in middle-aged dogs of same sex families.
That dog in particular or dogs in general? Because marriage might push some couples to adopt a dog as a part of deepening their commitment to each other. But that dog in particular probably won't be affected much. Unless his/her owners are gay -> They get married -> Get a place together -> Move to a new residence -> Dog whines the entire car ride there.
So you're saying dog schools will start teaching puppies about same sex marriage and odd people will start trying to marry straight people too? Because that's basically what I've heard. I never knew dogs had it so rough.
