SSM Plebiscite

[kruddler]

You do realise that right there you have suggested that incest is a downward slope from same sex marriage right?
That in the very essence of that comment, you are stating that incest is 'wrong', which is based solely on a judgment you have made on what you have been taught is acceptable as a relationship between to people.

So... how is that more or less acceptable, than a person who has been raised in a rural area, or an older person who doesn't "waste their time online or at cafes", who isn't part of the latte and smashed avocado generation and thinks that gay marriage is wrong as it normalises a relationship they believe is unnatural and and demeans a union they consider sacred?

We are all so judgmental, because we have been raised in an online politically correct generation, we are online and we all have friends who are openly homosexual. But that doesn't represent everyone and the older generations, plus rural areas have been raised under different circumstances.

My sister's grandfather if he was alive would have voted "NO".
I could be 100% certain of that.
He didn't believe in relationships out of marriage, he would never have met an openly gay person and wouldn't accept that as a legitimate relationship. He would not even leave the tv on if two people were kissing.
We was a wonderful man, but he would never have believed in SSM.

No that isn't based on lies or mistruths.
It is based on their upbringing, exactly the same way we are drawing out conclusions now

No, i am quoting 'arguments' that i have heard on the topic.

NO voters have used that argument. I'm pointing out that there isn't any real correlation between the whole thing and the argument is invalid. I'm not talking sides one way or another.

I've already mentioned that cultural upbringing is relative and different forms of right/wrong exist based on this.

I've also already pointed out that older people are were the majority of the no-voters would be coming from....for the reasons you've mentioned.

However, in all of the above, some of it is illegal, some is not. In this country at least, taking the next step in something that is legal, is an easy step to make.
Voting yes makes a lot of people happy.
Voting no, makes a lot of people unhappy. Those that are happy are basically unaffected by it one way or another.
