So as the title tells, this guy is saying he can prove gay marriage is wrong by using magnets. This is his argument. 

 

 

A bar magnet is a horizontal magnet that has the North Pole and the South Pole and when you bring two bar magnets and you bring the North Pole together you find that the two North Poles will not attract. They will repel, that is, they will push away themselves showing that a man should not attract a man. If you bring two South Poles together you find that the two South Poles will not attract indicating that same sex marriage should not hold. A female should not attract a female as South Pole of a magnet does not attract the South Pole of a magnet. But, when you bring a North Pole of a magnet and a South Pole of a magnet they will attract because they are not the same, indicating that a man will attract a woman because of the way nature has made a female.

Now I have also fashioned my own counter argument...

What's your take on this?

I read this on io9 today. Hilarious!

[Chancellor Gunn]

Thrash was one of the peer reviewers. He gave it an A+

[ᗅᗺᗷᗅ]

Yeah I saw this today.  It's so monumentally stupid that at first it reads like an Onion article.  Then when you realize that no, he's serious, you don't even know where to begin.  I guess with the obvious: people aren't magnets.  Also, I'm not sure what he was trying to say.  That homosexual attraction doesn't occur?  Because it pretty demonstrably does.  Hell, almost everything Nas does every day is fueled by homosexual attraction, usually his for this or that new intern.

sounds pretty legit to me..

 

using an unimaginable analogy is the best way to explain something thats unimaginable.

You are a tool. If I want to marry my gf of many years, who the fuck are you to stop me?

[ᗅᗺᗷᗅ]

Don't worry, Red.  This will all be worth it when Thrash realizes he just agreed with a black guy.

Not gonna stop you.. do whatever you want. I'll rest easy knowing you can't reproduce.

 

And Jorost, that is one thing that I agree with the majority of black people on.

I fell out of my chair laughing

Magnets ≠ People ∴ your argument is invalid

 

This isn't an analogy, Thrash, it's the worst proof I have seen in my entire life. 

 

You know how two bits of identical tape stick together? Is that proof that we're all supposed to be gay?

[Thrash]

I just think of it how it is when you try to put 2 magnets together and they're like "noooooo", that pretty much explains it.

[Ellis]

Yeah, ok, that's how magnetism works, unless of course you were taught that it was God holding the magnets apart and pulling them together. However, as you may have noticed, people and magnets have very little in common, and putting them together in an analogy is just stupid. 

[Thrash]

As is homosexuality. There's a reason one person has a slot and the other has something that goes into that slot and then you surprise.. make a baby.

[Haflinger]

Yeah, this explains why straight people never engage in oral sex.

[Ellis]

Yeah, this explains why straight people never engage in oral sex.

 

or, indeed, anal sex

[Thrash]

what does oral sex have to do with anything? I'm not seeing your point.

 

If there's one reason we are all alive on this Earth, it's to procreate.

[Haflinger]

Or kissing for that matter. I mean, if you're going to decry everything other than just pure intercourse as Evil and Demonic, then you're going full Orwell on us. Which is silly, because we know you don't actually believe that.

 

Oral sex, anal sex, kissing, lots of other sexual activities that straight people engage in DON'T MAKE BABIES.

[Thrash]

no, they don't make babies, but they CAN make babies. I can accept people who choose not to have babies, I can accept people that physically can't have babies, the point is that they have the proper parts to do it and if they don't have one they have valid reasons and if they can't make one it's God's fucked up choice.

 

There is a reason men have a penis and women have a vagina. You cannot dispute that. Putting the same together is like trying to put magnets together. Human race needs v2 upgrade to make that happen.

 

Everything is not about lust.

[Haflinger]

You do know that gay men don't generally shove their penises at each other, right? Oral sex works pretty much the same for them as it does for us.
