This must be the least Strongarm-centric thread of any he’s been a part of. Weird.

No, you _tried_ to kick the football, Charles.

Turns out, Lucy’s upgraded to hologram technology. She doesn’t even have to pull it away now, your foot just goes right through it.

Couldn’t one make the rational argument that only couples able to conceive children should be married?

Sure, this would exclude many hetero couples, but it would also exclude all homo couples and is at least founded on some sort of reasoned principle.

IOW, let the gays marry, but stop getting so butthurt about these stupid SSM debates.

Stupid, pointless idea that flies in the face of “historical” marriage so beloved of opponents to SSM.

Perhaps consistent. Absolutely not reasoned.

You are now contradicting your first sentence. (As I noted about “reasoned” arguments, . . .)

Man, forget pitting him. [He’s a pathetic dumbass who can’t help himself](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=773723&page=8). I officially change this into a self-pitting because I keep engaging with him every time he blows onto the board with his pestilent stupidity.

I barely noticed that he suddenly disappeared and stopped posting for almost eight months, but now I wish I had savored every glorious moment.
