Restore Family Values

The petition is entitled Restore the Institution of Marriage and Family Values and Christianity and the explanatory notes say
"Restore the institution of Marriage,the family and Christian values in our society.Restore the tax advantages once given to support the family and stop supporting same sex relationships and secular values."

Firstly, what are "family values" exactly?

Secondly, why should any of this be restored? You provide no justification, Mr Petitioner, for your demand; no explanation of the harm done by "secular values" and "same sex relationships"; no reasoning, no logic, no mitigation for your bigotry.

Why on earth should we therefore pay attention to you? Muppet.

I've now wasted an hour reading numerous blogs you have written in the last two months. You undoubtedly were raised here in England, and are undoubtedly young, based on the factors that you believe that just because you are "entitled to an opinion" that your opinion is valuable. It is most often, in most cases I read, not. Just asking questions, or expressing skepticism, is a curious exercise in self-psychotherapy but it is not by itself of value to others. Please spend more time evaluating each issue on the basis of what it may mean to society, not you. That you put words behind your opinions does not garner respect for you... nor does it enhance anything except your own listings. Please think twice. In Frank Herbert's Dune an important principle was to "speak only the deepest truth you can sense". Please. Thanks. Anonymous only because I like most others have litle time and now I won't waste further time reading your rantings. But good luck anyway. Cheers, a real person
