That was a good read. There are aspects to it that I would debate further, time permitting, which for me it isn't presently.
Now, you say you wrote every word of it, yet, at the bottom of the piece there is, in bold the words "reprinted with permission"...
Reprinted with whose permission?
Also, I would respectfully suggest that whilst the piece articulates very well why Gay Marriage is inevitable - the piece does not specifically or passionately defend Gay Marriage, at best it says in lots of words, "Meh, it's gonna happen eventually, meh..."
So, yep, still a good and interesting read. Good work on that front. For my part though, I don't believe that you did the actual topic justice.
And, yes, whose permission?
thanks. 'reprinted by permission' is my new signature block, largely because it confuses the hell out of the simpletons. Your comment about passionately is probably reasonable. I was running out of space as it was already 1200+ words and so if I were publishing this elsewhere I would have edited the crap out of it and inserted some more passionate defence.
45mins was all I had.
Putting 'reprinted by permission' in you signature block doesn't excuse you from telling outright bald-faced lies. Remember that you told us that
"NOAA, NASA, MET and BOM all agree that there has been a "pause in global warming".That was just a complete and utter lie wasn't it. A quick look at the NASA website shows you are a liar, it says:
Scientific evidence for warming of the climate system is unequivocal.http://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/Why do you think that anyone would take a proven liar like you seriously?
We need to ask Maria. She just claimed that the peer reviewed work of a Harvard graduate Professor working as a Professor of history at Yale was 'largely discredited' despite evidence to the contrary.
Maria claimed this because the Professor in question was gay and a gay person has previously submitted a discredited article so all work submitted by gay people is 'widely discredited'.
She just makes it all up as she goes along. She's that good.
Maria says she isn't Longy though. She would never lie about that, would she?
Well that was an interesting interpretation of what I said. Like most people on the failing side of an argument you grasp at straws. All I asked you to do was to consider why precisely ONE person in the entire academic world managed to find this 'evidence' of gay marriage in the past and no one else has. And yes, the fact that he was a gay activist who only wrote pro-gay material is a relevant point. And even the article you quote mentioned that it was highly controversial and often criticised, which was what I said.
There has never been any significant examples of gay marriage in history as the USA Supreme Court also found. I know you don't like that because it doesn't tick the boxes you want ticked, but it remains true just the same.
Really? An interesting take on what you said?
You said:
"You introduce the point that if Gay Marriage were so common and so acceptable in the past, where is the evidence? To date the evidence is actually nil. There are, as you say, comments such as 'suggest' or 'make possible', but zero actual fact and the best Mothra can come up with are the highly disputed writings of a gay activist Professor who wrote almost exclusively and increasingly hysterically about gays and the church before his death of AIDS."
Highly disputed?
Evidence please.
All of the academic responses i have read are far from discrediting. Peer reviewed and congratulatory is what i've come across.
Wrote increasingly and hysterically?
Evidence please.
He wrote on the subject of his study. With references. A brilliant man with a fabulous reputation.
WHere have i erred in representing you Maria? It is clear i have not.
Where have you erred in representing the author of the papers you are desperately trying to refute?
...well he wrote hysterically until he died of AIDS and other gay authors have been discredited.
Link please.
Do you not agree that you come across as a little ... well ... desperate?
