I think they should be allowed to get married on the moon. Just send em all up there and let 'em find water and redecorate. Watch how fast the space program would grow.

What's the phil class? That would be the fundamental question to answer in figuring out how to write said paper. Chiefly, figure out what philosophers your prof. likes and focuses on, maybe what he wrote his dissertation on. If it's ethics, reference ethical theories. If it's some kind of weird social dynamics thing, then just make shit up.
Also, is it supposed to be an essay on the topic, or a position paper?
If it's a position paper, and it's ethics, you've got it in the bag, reference Bentham's utilitarian calculus, unless your prof dislikes the utilitarian view of ethics, then go with something else, social contract or sphere of personal liberties crap.

Not really but I'm glad I'm watching it though. I'd prefer watching it high or tripping though.

Yea watch it high it is much better. I think everyone needs to see that film once just to see how obscure cinematography can go. It is a good movie in itself for sure.

Is there some sort of underlying meaning in the movie?

Only what you pull from it. First time I watched it I was stoned throughout and I found some sort of 'meaning' but I think it was only temporary. I am sure there is MAD symbolism in the movie.

Sure. It's one of those movies that builds itself up to break itself down, attempting to simultaneously take the viewer through different histories and levels of society and levels of self-awarement, leading towards enlightenment. The protagonist's attempt to attain enlightenment becomes the viewer's. I am not saying the movie is a success or a failure but it seems to me that the underlying aim of the movie is to build up elaborate metaphorical societies (all those characters on different planets) that acknowledge and ultimately critique vain and base human desires for power, money, sex, etc. These metaphorical caricatures of society are then destroyed/transcended, as the characters ascend the holy mountain in an attempt to be free from wants, desires, and elaborate hoaxes.
Ultimately the movie tells you in no uncertain terms to reject materiality, and then desire, and then all of the illusions created by human society (including the film itself) and return to the reality of the earth and be a hippy and rejoice in your value as a human being.

first off, if you are going to quote, use the quote feature, thats what its there for. And before you say it, yes I am quoting my own quotes by quoting you for clarification.
Quote:
A) Cannibuscharlie said, "Agreed, but some gays, and probably most gays dont just want tax cut and better credit, they want their ceremony (or sometimes elope) and they want to be able to call a person their spouse and say they are married."
...and?
And what? Thats my statement. do you disagree with the statement or are you implying that its dumb.? I was responding to the person who says gays just want the tax cuts and benefits by saying thats not necessarily true. they could also be said symbol addicts.
Quote:
B) Cannibuscharlie said, "So did slavery, and still does, and I think slavery is an abomination..."
I'm not sure which one but this sounds like a logical fallicy.
I.E. A has been happening for a long time. B has been happening for a long time. I don't like A therefore B is bad too.
or were you correcting someone else who said it's okay because it's been done for a long time? hmmm..
.
No, I am implying that just because polygamy has been around for a long time, that I dont agree with it on principle because slavery continues to be around, and for a really long time it was accepted practice until most civilized nations found it abominable. I dont know why you would even think that:
"A has been happening for a long time. B has been happening for a long time. I don't like A therefore B is bad too."
CQuote:
) Cannibuscharlie said, "What about animals getting married to each other? I got one of the dogs we used to own from a litter of puppies where the mama dog still lived with the daddy dog, why werent they married?"
haha..because they're living in sin, so what? people do it too!
Want to get your dogs hitched? Go for it...marriage is a joke anyway. It's for symbol addicts who don't realize that if you can't or don't want to stay with someone through the trials of a lonnnng term relationship a piece of paper and a priest's blessing won't really help you.
BTW I'm married!
I don't hold any religious beliefs that people who have children out of wedlock are "living in sin". A good friend of mine had a shotgun wedding in a sense, although it is pretty clear that they loved each other anyway. They waited quite a length of time after their son was born to get married and I don't really have a problem with that, that is their business and just because hes technically a "bastard" doesn't mean I dont like the little guy or think theres anything wrong with him. Even if I thought they where living in sin, let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
Quote:
D) Veritus said, "Eddie Izzard is not homosexual, he's a heterosexual transvestite. "
Thanks for the clarification, professor
are you just trying to be a stupid asshole? first of you question why I made a statement in response to a person by saying "and?" second you dont seem to follow prose and understand what people are trying to say very well and you are just argumentative, which only makes it worse because you argue about stupid shit and dont even understand what you are trying to debate about in the first place. Also, its not Cannibuscharlie, its Cannabischarlie, I am not the rapper, he doesnt spell it quite like that anyway, and the fact that you took the time to edit it to be wrong when you are copy and pasting anyway is simply retarded.

I have not read this post and will skip to my reply...
NO.
They cannot get married, marriage is a religious sacrament. Homosexuality is not condoned within the Christian faith. So NOOOOO
Marriage is for heterosexual people, not homosexual people.
They can become legally joined which is the same thing, butt nooo the whiny homo's want marriagge...
Shut the fuck up and be happy you can get joined, stop pushing for more, MARRIAGE IS NOT MEANT FOR HOMOSEXUALITY!!
Marriage is a step towards creating a union between a man and a woman so that they can reproduce and help keep the cycle of repopulation going.
Homosexuals don't reproduce, so this is ridiculous for them to want this.
Hey if your gay, wonderful, I don't care, but shut the fuck up about wanting to be married, you don't even know what it is about, you just want it because you can't fucking consider yourselves equal without it.
YYUOOUU ALL MAKE ME FUCKING ANGRY!

Marriage is meant for whatever the fuck I want it to mean. Be it financial stability, love, or some religious bullshit sacrament.
There are two versions of marriage: Religious version and the State version.
Sure Christians have every right to deny homosexual marriage.
The State should not deny it. Seperation of Church and state.....remember that lil clause that has gone out the door?

Tangerines, why are homosexuals not satisfied with being legally joined?
Why do they need a peice of paper saying their "MARRIED"
It is the same as being Legally Joined.
It's BECAUSE THEY ARE A WHINY MINORITY

It is because the state is involved in marriages, so all citizens are promised equality. If they want to be married, why shouldn't they? Are you worried protecting the "sanctity" of marriage between a man and a woman? Who gives a fuck, you're gonna get divorced anyways, so that sanctity goes right out the window.
