If he says we should think we rational reason, he is contradicting himself. He claims that since having 3 men marry is wrong it must also be wrong to have 2 men marry. Similarly, he would have to believe that if a man and two women marrying is wrong (which I think he believes is wrong because it is polygamy) then a monogamous marriage between a man and a woman is wrong. I don't see how he even compares polygamy to gay marriage. They are not even related. Quite frankly, he is ignorant and racist.

@ElnAlter What do Gays think about Poly? Do they argue against each other about Poly being next? Do Gays who support Poly are liked or hated by Gays who do not? A Gay who states Marriage is between 2 consenting adults: is that a conservative Gay? Can Gays & Polys be friends? What do Gays think about Poly Gays? How would Gays react if Polys compare themselves to the their Civil movement in the same/similar way Gays in turn compared themselves to the African civil movement? & so on.
@DjPyro2010 The Slippery Slope is the Achilles Heel of the political colossus that the LGBT + their allies have becomed. That is, assuming they oppose the end of the # limit.

@DjPyro2010 But it does justify polygamy. If all parties are consenting to the marriage in question then by the same logic gay marriages should be allowed, polygamous marriages should be allowed. Don't misunderstand me, I think gay marriage and polygamous marriages should both be legal. What I'm saying is there is no argument (at least not that I've heard) that justifies gay marriages that does not also apply to polygamous marriages.
@jessicalynnireland The people who argue that marriage is between a man and a women want to ban gay marriage. Those who argue that gays can get married are more worried about civil rights. The argument that marriage is between two people is the most effective one to use for refuting the polygamy claim.
OK ppl. Here's the situacion: There is a new type of Poly: secular Polyamory. Any1 who has been following the Canadian story knows the Gov recently re-adjusted its anti-poly laws to include only Polygamy, freeing the Polyamorists to live w/o being called criminals. The old religious abusive Polygamy & new responsible Polyamory are now 2 seperate entities in that country. We will see what happends next...

Define: "The Bible" as you talk about it in your response. You are quoting from thousands of years of history from various Middle East cultures and applying it to North American culture. Also, you did not use the entire dialogue which gives clarity to Santorum's response. He gives excellent logic to this question.
Why do people care so much about what makes other people happy? If it's not hurting anyone and all parties consent, why is it a big deal if a man wants to marry another man or if a woman wants ten husbands? Love is love.
Why is it that evangelical Christians are the least Christian people out there!?

To be honest I can't see the difference between the issue of gay marriage or polygamy either. It's an accepted practice in various global cultures. I don't agree with either but he has a point.
I think if you believe in the theory that most gay marriage supporters believe in (I believe in it too, I think it;s a good theory) that two consenting adults can do what they want if they don't affect anyone else, than you have to be accepting of polygamy too or it doesn't make sense.
@Thundernium No one is trying to replace anyone. And there is no more gays in Sweden than in any other population. I don´t´want to speak to someone who calls humans niggers. So please don´t write any more stupid shit to me.
@katnils it´s happening the same in all white countries, they are being filled with mass immigration from the 3rd world. europeans and americans must unite and save the white world.
@Thundernium No one is trying to fill any place with other races. Most people don´t care about races. That´s all. People with your opinions need to unite and fight for your own country somewhere; Aria, where you can have the race biologic politics you find important but most people don´t care about or don´t want. So you can stop bothering others with these divisive ideas about humans. And you don´t need to be bothered with other humans.
The economy is falling apart, unemployment is still up, Iran is getting close to having nukes, bo is growing the size of the govt at an alarming rate and yet people are still asking boo-hoo questions about gay marriage. He needs make it known that there are bigger things that the US needs to focus on as a country and they should go ask bo that same question?
@TMOvids So according to your logic, fighting for interracial marriage or women's suffrage was a huge waste of the people's time and the government's opposition to it was not the real huge waste of taxpayer money??
Face it, you're a bigot. Nothing else needs to be said about it.
@atheistram Interracial marriage was a waste, yes. Women's suffrage was not, as the ability to vote and exercise some degree of sovereignty is a right.
I'm not a bigot, and the issue of gay marriage has nothing to do with bigotry. Most supporters of gay marriage are straight, and I, as a gay person, oppose it. My partner also opposes it. This clearly isn't an issue of sexuality or acceptance, it's an issue of morality.
I don't think you understand the issue, its about having given the same legal benefits in a "marriage" as a straight married couple in the United States. Example, visitation rights in the hospital, tax benefits, health benefits, making medical decisions. Currently only a percentage of those benefits are given under domestic partnership. I don't think your a gay person, Im not buying it.
@aussieincal09 There shouldn't be tax benefits. That's just malicious, Christian social engineering. As for the others (hospital visitation, medical decisions in case of lack of capacity, etc.) these can be far better handled with local arrangements. Gay marriage would be a steamroller to crack a nut, and doesn't even solve the problem. What if I want hospital visitation with many people, but don't want to marry any?
Accusing me of not being gay because I disagree with you is insulting.
@TMOvids There is no way that you're gay. You don't even understand the difference b/w the legal benefits given under civil unions and marriage. Already around 5 states allow gay MARRIAGES. Time is short before all of them do.
@atheistram Is that really what this has come to? Accusing the opposition of not being gay because they disagree with you? Come on. And the difference in legal benefits is irrelevant. Everything covered should either not exist (tax breaks, draft waivers) or could be better covered by local arrangements (hospital visitation rights, inheritance). There is no reasonable justification for gay marriage.
@TMOvids Uh... yes there is reasonable justification for gay marriage. Ever heard of equality? You're trying to do the same thing that segregationalists tried: separate but equal. Didn't work out so well for them, did it??
@atheistram I don't want any separation, so your segregationalists comment doesn't make much sense. If anything, the segregationalist approach is the pro-gay marriage group, who want to treat those in long term 2 person relationships as legally different entities from people who aren't.
Equality doesn't trump morality. You would not support an immoral institution on the grounds of equality with a pre-existing immoral institution in any other case, so cannot do that here. Gay marriage is immoral.
I like how Cenk takes everything in the Bible out of context. He's taking three tangential points and shoving them into the same sentence. That's what I looovveee about Cenk.
Ok I'm not supporting Santourm but seriously what is the difference between the two? Both are unnatural and go against the traditional one man, one woman marriages don't they??
Apparently Rick Santorum has never heard of the slippery slope fallacy. They'll let anyone into politics these days. Or rather, they'll let anyone that's purchasable into politics these days.
Santorum is an idiot and his 'reason' makes no sense. Two men isn't ok because three men isn't ok? If that is reason, then reason says a man can't mary one woman because he can't mary two women. Same (so-called) logic applied in reverse, but he would never agree to that.
polygamists arent organizing themsleves to be considered equal, neither are people who are attracted to "different things" you fucking idiots! marriage is not a religious thing anymore, look at all the fake christians getting married these days.... they dont know anything about the bible or jesus but they get married in a church, its tradition not a religious ceremony! give me a break, grow up you bible thumping fucktards!!
@Kooshkff Well, we do have a democracy, of sorts. But it's also hard to just say that whatever the majority says is okay is okay. What about the minority? And besides if you REALLY think "majority rules" is absolute, you'd have to admit that anything that any population majority has ever done is A Okay. Like the Greek practice of Grown men having sex with young boys. Literally EVERY boy would have an older suitor. Does that make it okay? Hell no!
"you'd have to admit that anything that any population majority has ever done is A Okay"
No I wouldn't. You're reading me the wrong way sir.
I'm not saying I agree with it. But if voting has any weight what-so-ever on wedge issues, and politicians who do not understand the constitution or the civil liberties of the people, then it's easy to see how a majority can have the last word.
Poor Santorum. Automatic fail. Polygamy is not a marriage between 2 people. So his argument is irrelevant. Why do religious perspectives tend to be so intellectually crippled and hysterical? Why do they also focus on the sex organs as primary qualification when marriage is actually spiritual before it is anything else?
It seems clear their opposition to marriage is merely based in their personal feelings and not based in the real world substance of valid perspectives and credible statements.
The question was why not allow polygamy. I wish the person asking him had actually bothered to prepare for a rebuttal. Polygamy is illigal because it encourages human trafficing, it also becomes a tangled mess when you bring up redistribution of wealth, costly of children, and a hundred other legal disasters.
There are actually logical reasons why gay marriage is not one step from polygamy, shame this girl didn't come prepared to back up her stance.
"Polygamy is illigal because it encourages human trafficing"←What the fuck you talking about? Polygamy is when 3 or more consenting adults decide to live together and form a family.
"redistribution of wealth, costly of children, and a hundred other legal disasters."←Which are none of your busyness not the sate business how complicated their relationship may be.
Polygamy should be legal, you are as bigoted as the homophobes.
@Trickroad Really? So it had nothing to do with Greece being conquered by Rome, and then them both degrading and collapsing fully when internal arguments over religion weakened the empire to a state that external invaders could start winning battles and chipping away at their hold?
No, of course not, it was all those homosexuals fault! Guess that's why Pompeii didn't last either, because they accepted homosexuality happily and homosexuals set off that volcano!
@Trickroad Seriously, if you're going to insinuate something, at least have evidence to back it up. Greece fell because if was eventually conquered by other civilisations, and Rome fell because political divisions grew leading to the weakening of then Empire and the subsequent raids by the Gauls and Goths (I can be corrected there, I can't particularly remember who raided Rome).
@Trickroad And here we have another poor lost soul who repeats everything Mommy and Daddy tells him, and doesn't have the basic decency of reading a History book and getting his facts straight.
I love how Santorum thinks his reply makes him right. "what about 3 men?"...yeah good point, why not? Essentially hes saying, well I might fail in logic, but heres a further logical step to which I believe you're not ready to take. Don't like? Good, then we shall stick to the status quo LOL. Also, Cenk claims that men could have sex with their wife's slave...but women WERE the slaves, how could slaves have their own slaves? Where in the bible does it mention women having slaves of their own?
I didnt see the entire interview, but he did not discuss the bible - this was a conversation about consenting adults. Should incest be legal if its between consenting adults? Why not 3 or 4 consenting people? He seems to define marriage as between a man and a woman. People are trying to redefine that now so he is looking for the boundaries of that definition.
Seems like a good conversation. But Cenk decided to pass on it and just trash the bible like a good liberal.
Santorum actually has a point here, for once... I would legalize polygamy. Provided that each party is old enough and mentally capable enough to give informed consent, the contract should be valid. Santorum has effectively given an argument for 'straight' polygamy, if not also 'gay' polygamy. And, meanwhile, America is collapsing under the weight of war and joblessness and the deficit...
@doublecrosserfm Wow...I though we were being reasonable.... There is a difference being disagreement and disbelief. Most people on this post I've heard believe in God they just Hate him
@MrJeremySuggs lol no, God does not exist to me. I am not angry at "him" because I know he doesn't exist - I'm angry at humanity for buying this bullshit and trying to dictate people's lives under their great holy "morale".
They are cavemen. "god" did him a little favour, made him a straight white man who is sitting pretty without any prejudice or hate. He is a catalyst for hatred, separation and divide. He is useless to the development of our society; racist, sexism, homophobic and loved? Oh the "blind are leading the blind" He's gonna go home and fucking wank over some hardcore porn, then shove the bible in the faces of gays, ethic minorities and women. Men like him are simply here to pause societys development.
Yeah, because you know over in Canada and other countries where Gay Marriage is legal their sanctity of marriage is completely destroyed and there's people in the streets protesting to marry 3 other people.
Also, if God doesn't exist then why do so many people spend time trying trying to discredit them. I ignore the things that are invalid. The problem with rick santorum as well as many other conservatives, in my view, is that they mix religion into politics. Which is ridiculous, when God himself made it clear through Samuel and as Jesus himself he doesn't want anything to do with it.
@waltermh111 no this is one of the times that cenk is not using integrity. The stories surrounding david and solomon especially with women are ones of consequence. Which is why I find it interesting that he didn't mention how much drama David had in his reign as king or that after Solomon, israel was effectively dissolved. What they did was wrong God called them out on it and they were punished. So no, God did not approve of polygamy or homosexuality for that matter.
I agree, but that is their argument, that if homosexuals are allowed to redefine marriage to something else, then other people may do the same and redefine it to fit their agendas.
Santorum is trying to make a philosophical point that gay marriage is like giving way to a hedonistic culture that will self destruct. The counter argument to that is that homosexuality is an innate aspect of peoples' humanity, and not just like some excessive pleasure. It is how many people experience adult love, so its really a fundamental part of their lives.
A person is going to do what they want to do thats why god gave us freewill.Im not gay and never will be as,i recall passing judgement is bad and is to be left for the hand of god.All the shit that is going on and your worried about gay people,worrie about our rights and freedom that we are losing to a over powering goverment.If making drugs legal takes drug dealers off the street im all inn!!!
Marriage is a social contruct so the answer is that marriage does indeed mean what we decide it to mean.
Just like we do in many other of our social constructs.
We once adhered to the social contruct of slavery until we realized it was morally and ethically wrong. (Not trying to compare the two, it's simply an example of an obvious social contruct we no longer accept.)
@DogsneedpIeasuretoo Your comment: "Objects and non-human animals can't sign a legal contract, that is what stop humans from marring objects and animals."!!!
Aren't LEGAL CONTRACTS signed for keeping ANIMALS (non-humans) as PETS without even waiting for this DUMBSTRUCK-ANIMALS' CONSENT or DISSENT??!!! In some cases, aren't LEGAL CONTRACTS also signed for TRANSFERING PROPERTY aka PROPERTY INHERITANCE to the very same ANIMALS like CATS, DOGS, etc??!!! Do the animals also sign these CONTRACTS??
@DogsneedpIeasuretoo Your comment to @iYrock: "Polygamy is natural, anything n that exists in the universe is natural. Polygamy is documented in humans since long long time ago and many species of aniamls also do polygamy."
Exactly. In fact, POLYGAMY is LEGALLY PRACTISED even to this day among MUSLIMS! Cenk wants to turn a BLIND EYE to the Quranic verses which MANDATE IT apart from TERRORISM as well! Rarely have i seen Cenk making fun of MUSLIM TERRORISTS by quoting the Quran like he did here!
"By the way, the difference between men and animals is fairly obvious."←You know humans are animals right?
"Also, DNA and thing like that"←You know that humans share almost all their DNA with other aniamls, even a mice has around 60% of human DNA. All mammals evolved from one ancestral mammal and so, all mammals share a lot of the same DNA.
FACT: Slippery slope arguments are not always fallacious.
I know that animals or objects is very unlikely, but Santorum never used those.
He used polygamy, incest and polygamy are next, they are just waiting for the homosexuals to get their rights to latch on to them and ask for the same rights for the exact same reasons. This is not a slippery slope fallacy, but it is a non-fallacious slippery slope argument.
First of all Polygamists SHOULD be able to do their thing as well. So long as no one gets any extra tax credit, etc. Second of all: I really want 15 minutes alone a room with Santorum. Third of all: Only an IDIOT thinks this is a reasoned discussion. FOURTH of all: People who use the bible to justify themselves need to be living up to it...PERIOD.
"they're too inexperienced and neurologically undeveloped to fully comprehend the ramifications of life-changing commitments"←I ask again, can I see evidence that it is harmful?
"any consent given is very likely to not be real"←Their consent is irrelevant, parents make the choices for them.
"they would be married to someone who completely controls them"←To my knowledge, it is not like that.
"sex is physically and mentally damaging"←We are talking about marriage, not about sex.
21rst century : and the Big Denial of inevitable gay people goes on, the Big Denial of a real reality, the Big Denial of a real truth. What is that mechanism that Deniers become more happy by making people unhappy ? America : land of freedom, hahaha...
can someone please explain to me what the issue with gay marriage is? I don't quite understand why gay people don't have the same rights as straight people.
@nuigurumisama Your comment: "can someone please explain to me what the issue with gay marriage is? I don't quite understand why gay people don't have the same rights as straight people."!!!
Marriage, by definition, is a LEGAL CONTRACT between a MAN and a WOMAN!!! You cannot TAMPER with the definition as and when and how you like!!!! No one is STOPPING you from CREATING a NEW INSTITUTION called GARRAGE or LESBORAGE and demand the "SAME RIGHTS" or even "SPECIAL RIGHTS" for these institutions!!
Frothy hasn't employed logical reason a single day in his life. He is doing what every current out of touch racially, gender, Islam-o-phobic, & minority challenged Republican does when faced directly with tough questions. Straw man them, change the subject, & then totally lie about it. Time has passed this party by, & their the last to figure it out
what santorum is trying to accomplish would be unconstitutional. simply because all men (and women) are equal and have the right to purse happiness, should that mean that Adam wants to marry Steve or Adam, Eve and Steve (etc.) they should be allowed to do what their hearts please. Although their decisions may not be my cup or tea (because I am straight and I think I can only sustain one spouse/family), it is the people's right to decide whom and how many they wish to marry.
You know, if we let a man marry a woman, what's to stop him from marrying two women? Or three women? You know what, we can't let that happen. I agree with Rick Santorum, we should amend the Constitution to ban traditional marriage.
@doublecrosserfm My point is that his logic is flawed. He wants to ban gay marriage on the basis that it could lead to polygamy, but that argument could be used against traditional marriage as well. And I decided that irony was the best way to get that point across.
@BishopAP Ohhh, I totally understand now. I thought after reading it briefly that you were a male implying he was deserving of several wives or whatever because it would be "win". Turns out I just misread it.
@politico92 Your right. A child should group up with two loving parents, disregarding the gender of both parents. But you don't have to be married to have a kid and love them. Heck, the guys on Mordern Family are a happy family without being married. Multiple families among one take a lot of time to manage. You can focus on one. And the dog thing was just an extreme example
"What is the difference between going past a school at 30 miles per hour to going past a school at a 140 mph? They are both just speeds. Let's just have a reasoned discussion about what that means" Rick Santorum getting pulled over.

@TMOvids
I don't think you understand the issue, its about having given the same legal benefits in a "marriage" as a straight married couple in the United States. Example, visitation rights in the hospital, tax benefits, health benefits, making medical decisions. Currently only a percentage of those benefits are given under domestic partnership. I don't think your a gay person, Im not buying it.
aussieincal09 1 month ago
@aussieincal09 There shouldn't be tax benefits. That's just malicious, Christian social engineering. As for the others (hospital visitation, medical decisions in case of lack of capacity, etc.) these can be far better handled with local arrangements. Gay marriage would be a steamroller to crack a nut, and doesn't even solve the problem. What if I want hospital visitation with many people, but don't want to marry any?
Accusing me of not being gay because I disagree with you is insulting.

@atheistram Is that really what this has come to? Accusing the opposition of not being gay because they disagree with you? Come on. And the difference in legal benefits is irrelevant. Everything covered should either not exist (tax breaks, draft waivers) or could be better covered by local arrangements (hospital visitation rights, inheritance). There is no reasonable justification for gay marriage.

@TMOvids Uh... yes there is reasonable justification for gay marriage. Ever heard of equality? You're trying to do the same thing that segregationalists tried: separate but equal. Didn't work out so well for them, did it??

@atheistram I don't want any separation, so your segregationalists comment doesn't make much sense. If anything, the segregationalist approach is the pro-gay marriage group, who want to treat those in long term 2 person relationships as legally different entities from people who aren't.
Equality doesn't trump morality. You would not support an immoral institution on the grounds of equality with a pre-existing immoral institution in any other case, so cannot do that here. Gay marriage is immoral.

Poor Santorum. Automatic fail. Polygamy is not a marriage between 2 people. So his argument is irrelevant. Why do religious perspectives tend to be so intellectually crippled and hysterical? Why do they also focus on the sex organs as primary qualification when marriage is actually spiritual before it is anything else?
It seems clear their opposition to marriage is merely based in their personal feelings and not based in the real world substance of valid perspectives and credible statements.

The question was why not allow polygamy. I wish the person asking him had actually bothered to prepare for a rebuttal. Polygamy is illigal because it encourages human trafficing, it also becomes a tangled mess when you bring up redistribution of wealth, costly of children, and a hundred other legal disasters.
There are actually logical reasons why gay marriage is not one step from polygamy, shame this girl didn't come prepared to back up her stance.
