So fanatics annoy me. I have come to the conclusion that if you don't at least allow the possibility that your opinion could possibly be wrong, your a dumbass.
Recently I had the opporitunity to meet a dumbass of ginormous perportions.
I'm sitting down eatting lunch and I happen to be sitting down next to the YCT, the Young Conservatives of Texas. These guys just happen to be discussing current events, and just happened to be talking about gay marriages. I guess they thought that I was one of them and someone turned to me and asked me what I thought.
Well they weren't really very happy when I said that I really had no problems with gay marriages. The conversation went something like this:
evilPidge: So why do you object to gay marriages?
Dumbass: It's unnatural. It's not the way things are supposed to be!
eP: Well, how are they supposed to be?
DA: A man, and a woman. Thats the way its supposed to be!
eP: And why is it supposed to be like that?
DA: Because it doesnt work any other way? Two gays can't have kids?
eP: So the purpose of marriage is procreation? If thats the case, I may be in trouble because my wife and I have been married 5 years and we dont have any kids yet.
DA: Well its ok for you because you are still able to have kids if you want. For you its a choice, for the gays its not.
eP: Ok, I think I understand your thought process, so what your saying is that if you in a "relationship" with a partner of the same sex, that obviously cannot produce offspring, it shouldn't be considered a marriage.
DA: EXACTLY!
eP: So what about a married couple, a man and a women, where one or both of them are strile for for some reason or another. They shouldn't have their marriage recognized right?
DA: er...
At this point in time the dumbass grew rather beligerant and started calling me a liberal commie fag lover.
Now I'm not writing this because I think that person was a dumbass because they were against gay marriages, or because they were unable to, on the fly, come up with an arguement and continue to debate me. My disgust with this whole thing was the fact that when this guy realized that I had answered all of his arguements and proposed that a there were circumstances where it could be applied to a man and a women. He didn't even pause to perhaps considered that I may be right, or that my point of view may have even a shred of truth in it. He dug in his heels and called me a fag lover.
I love openmindedness.
