Khun Tookay #2, can there be freedom without the rules of law? For example, how many tragedies have we had on the Expressway, where neither speed limit law has been enforced, nor driven license is required? A few days ago, a newly arrived Thai student learned her lesson the hard way. Within the same week, she got one parking ticket and one speeding ticket, driving 50 mph on a 35 mph zone. I told her to forget everything about how she drove in Thailand, and to carefully observe traffic law or her insurance premium would be going through the roof.

If the legal institution of marriage is good for the children of hetrosexual parents, why should children of lesbian and gay couples be punished by their government, simply because of the sexual orientation of their parents.

@2 - Education is the foundation of how we perceive reality - and that perception of reality leads us to make decisions which we believe to 'just and wise' but are in fact - in error.
I see this as an 'engineering' issue. The body was designed to be capable of many things but was engineered to perform specific functions in specific ways. To use anything (biological or mechanical) contrary to it's designed function will cause it to fail or significantly shorten it's lifespan. To allow 'Adam & Steve' is to continue the degradation of all humanity, regardless of race, religion or morality.Discussion 3 : 16 Feb 2013 at 09.443
D1: Do you believe that your own personal social, moral and religious beliefs should interfere with the freedom, privacy and happiness of others?

@1 A modern educated man won't allow ancient tales to limit his thinking. Observe reality and let it guide you to wise and just decisions.

God created Adam & Eve (means "Mother of all living"), not Adam & Steve (???). The former can start a family but the latter cannot. Should we be encouraging and strengthening family units, which are the foundation of all civilizations? However, if anyone thinks we don't presently have enough headaches already, go ahead!
