Resolved: Gay marriage would weaken the insitutuion of marriage

you still aren't fufuling the bop as you have not proved otherwise how allowing it would strengthen the insitution of marriage or keep it the same. " First, the Dutch Study is not what Pro used to cite this fact in the last round. Instead it was Conservapedia which I've already attacked as a blatantly biased source, that is completely scoffed and laughed at by scholars and intellectuals for its overall lack of credibility. "Seems you dislike one mal source so I will show another:A federally-funded study by San Francisco State University that followed 556 local male couples for three years found that half “have sex outside their relationships, with the knowledge and approval of their partners,” according to The New York Times. [1]btw I just proved it and 1 mal source shouldn't ruin this. Your only viable argument is that conservapedia is a bad source. "Finally on this point, Pro is wrong as the Dutch study specifically notes a difference between homosexual relationships and heterosexual marriages. In the last round, I explained that the two should not be considered synonomous"That's my point because since their not the same then the insitution would change and or weaken dramatically. i can't answer every single point as of the space limit. "This ignores all of my arguments from the last round explaining that the concept of marriage changes and evolves over time as a society, and most definitely between individuals. "Yes but last time I checked marriage is supposed to be monogomas, not cheating. lol. the social institution under which a man and womanestablish their decision to live as husband and wife bylegal commitments, religious ceremonies, etc.The point is to have 1 partner and this hasn't evolved any other way in modern societys. " Statistics are not perfectly accurate. "Statistics are the most accurite thing we have offerd lol."That figure is MUCH higher than Pro suggests"I showed that in my source from a different study. My numbers are more universally adopted though. ANd I know heterosexuals cheat on eachother, just sadley homosexals do it more. I wish it wasn't that way. "My proposition that lesbians are known to stay in long-lasting, monogamous relations goes undisputed. "I can't negate every singel thing each round. But you have ignred a lot of my arguments which I iwll not name as I would rather them be conceded. and btw they do cheat alot according to a lesbian blog. To save space I will not spew its info but let it sit at the bottom for those who don't belive. And how do they stay in long lasting monogomus relationships if you just said they cheat on eachother? You contradicted yourself. "Pro dropped my contention that the concept of marriage has changed and evolved throughout history."Not really I explained it in a different area. The concept changes but not recently. We are arguing recent marriage and in that context it would weaken it, that was implied. When marriage changes to you are suposed to cheat on your husband/wife then I'll owe you. "Pro dropped my point that there is not necessarily a contradiction in terms."What? I am tired right now so explain this...lol. "Pro dropped my point that there is no right or wrong way for a couple to behave sexually"FAlse when in marriage your supposed to be monogomus. "Then he must prove that monogamy is of paramount importance to marriage in general. "It is universally accepted that marriages should be monogomous. That's why people divorce when being cheated upon. I proved it above as well multiple times, behind the red herring of my 1 mal source. "The fact is that divorce rates are already high amongst heterosexuals"Thats the point why compound the issue with more divorces. Also yes violence among gays won't affect straight people but if gays where allowed to marry then it would compound their dovorce rates into the overall number. It's not that hard to understand. I am tired of quoting SO i will just hint at what you where saying. Now you have to prove that hate crimes create problems as I will prove next round that self-esteem doesn't exist, therefore making your point null and void. Also I am agains tgay marriage and I do not express hate towards gays as I do not mind them existing. You just made it sound like I am a hater..I am not a hater I just disagree. Also it does hurt is as drugs = impaired thoughts wich lead to other things, cheating, suicide, mental disorders, debts as they get addicted, jail etc. It may not hurt in your mind but sirelly it won't help. Cool no support groups...lol. You say I am helping you but i disproved your hate crime argument and also if that affects gays why does it not affect straights. Its an argument that false as if it affects them then it should affects straights. Straights don't have higher suicide rates because there are no support groups. So that argument is falty. Huh? I didn't drop your arguments I clearly refuted them (or at least I tried I am not good at this). And I did prove this as my source in the first round (sorry the link broke) proved this. ALso sorry for a side track I will disporve your girls don't cheat thing:married fidelity amone women is BOUT 80% SO 20% CHEAT vs male 75.5% [3]SO girls cheat less but not by much. sorry another sidetrack another reason for the suicide could be the abuse from the partners.ok ill try the PHD link again: Moreover, a 2004 study of divorce rates for same-sex registered partnerships in Sweden from 1995 to 2002 indicates that, compared to opposite-sex married couples, male homosexual couples were 1.5 times more likely to divorce and female homosexual couples 3 times more likely. As time passes and it becomes possible to inquire about same-sex registered partnerships of more than one-to-seven-years’ duration, we should see even larger differences between heterosexual and homosexual unions. [4] Yes I droped religeon I was going to edit it out before you accepted but you accepted to fast so sorry it wasn't supposed to be there. I am not saying that gays do not get the same benifits I am saying that it is not proven that they do or dont. If you find proof they do then you win.I have nothing left to refute So I still have 1,600 cheracters so I'll add on to my case. Lets add on to the violence as I have only used conservapedia for that and wish to have a valid case:according to this site gays are twice as likely to sustain abuses from their partners. [5]comitment level:Data from Vermont, Sweden, and the Netherlands reveal that only a small percentage of homosexuals and lesbians identify themselves as being in a committed relationship, with even fewer taking advantage of civil unions or, in the case of the Netherlands, of same-sex "marriage." This indicates that even in the most "gay friendly" localities, the vast majority of homosexuals and lesbians display little inclination for the kind of lifelong, committed relationships that they purport to desire to enter. [6]conclusion:allowing gay marriage would not help the insitution of marriage. I am tired and my computer is freaking out so if my reponse is bad say so in the comments. --out of room--sources:http://www.newsmax.com...;[1]http://lesbiansanddating.blogspot.com...;[2]social organization of sexuality [3]http://robgagnon.net...;[4] http://www.statcan.gc.ca...;[5] http://www.frc.org...;[6]
