marriage is like fish balls
a: marriage ~
b: fish balls
What: "After deep frying the fish balls, you will notice that it become brownish and just like marriage, after several years of being tested, the whiteness, the color, and its beauty starts to change. Does it mean that marriage is getting weaker? Perhaps for the few but I believe that for many, it's just getting stronger. After you fry the fish balls, take a bite on one them and you will see that the inside is still white."

Marriage As Invasion
a: Marriage ~
b: invading a country
What: "This might be off the wall, but it seems to me that getting married is like invading a country. Before you do it, you really do want to think things through, at least for several steps down the road. It's definitely not something you want to "slide into." Getting out is much harder than slipping in."

Water Without The Wet
a: Gay marriage ~
b: dry water
What: "Gay marriage is like dry water. It doesn't exist. If two gay adults wish to hook up (pardon) then no one has a reason to object. Any type of union they wish to make is just fine as long as they both agree. Marriage is for a man and a woman, by definition. If straight people want to partner with someone of their own sex, they can, but they can't marry them."

What: "Republican Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler believes that same sex marriage is like an uncle marrying his niece and a 50 year old marrying a 12 year old girl. Yes, she said that. She also believes that it is comparable to a 3 year old driving a car. At least, she didn't compare people to marrying dogs."

Government Governed Natural Rights
a: Gay marriage ~
b: granting the right to own slaves
What: "The DOMA simply makes more explicit the government's obligation to secure the Creator-endowed unalienable rights of the natural family. This obligation precludes government from fabricating other rights that impair them. In this respect, granting homosexuals the right to marry is like granting plantation owners the right to own slaves."

Hence , a gay "marriage" is like changing the ornament on the hood of my 944 Porsche and proclaiming that it is now a ford f150."

Gay Marriage=smoking Ban?
a: Gay marriage ~
b: smoking ban
What: "If you talk to ministers just now, they say, "Gay marriage is like the smoking ban. People thought they were against it, but when it happened, they just accepted it." I cannot prove this wrong, but the triviality of the comparison makes me suspicious. Marriage is a great, big, deep subject. There is no crying need to change it just because a vociferous lobby says we must. I recommend a policy which should surely unite all conservatives, trad or modernising - masterly inactivity."

We're already destroying generations of children by promoting "Single Motherhood" and sentencing those children to live without fathers, and (for most of them) to grow up in poverty. These movements are utterly selfish in nature: They don't give a flip about "The Children". All they care about their own needs and wants."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
