I agree it's crazy that you'd write that given I didn't.town: some perverted men abuse their wives, so we should accept any kind of perverted "marriage" :kookoo:

I didn't actually think so, but you put a great big stamp of approval over the whole of what he proposed and without serious qualification that's exactly what one of his ideas could lead to.Of course not.
You mean to the outside parties. I suppose so.Not all marriages end for serious reasons:
Then something else was wrong at home or your perception is off on the men. Or do you think that both of your sisters were no good and managed to fool these good, educated men of theirs?My 2 sisters dumped perfectly decent, kind, educated men so they could take up with hooligans half their age.
provide tax breaks to married couples
to all married couples right?
I was presupposing that everyone now believes domestic violence negates a marriage.Town Heretic said:I didn't actually think so, but you put a great big stamp of approval over the whole of what he proposed and without serious qualification that's exactly what one of his ideas could lead to.
I mean objectively. For instance, getting a trophy wife to replace your old one might really just be shallow.You mean to the outside parties. I suppose so.
None of the above. My sisters are beautiful, intelligent, and very , very juvenile and unstable. (One of them told me, "I've all my life wanted a criminal.") Trust me, if you knew what I know and had experienced it for many years, really lived it, you'd agree.Then something else was wrong at home or your perception is off on the men. Or do you think that both of your sisters were no good and managed to fool these good, educated men of theirs?

are you planning to redefine "marriage" to include pedophiles and children?
I think most reasonable and decent people would support that aim.we are just trying to protect the kids
Let me know if you need any help connecting that to a rationally supported premise. :think: Because I love a challenge.so just let us know if you need help protecting two guys living together
are you planning to redefine "marriage" to include pedophiles and children?
whoever originally said that there was no such thing as a stupid question obviously never met you
There will doubtless be a strong argument for it, though I imagine there will be historical, sociological and psychological arguments made against it. It's even hard to oppose Biblically when you consider the wives of some of God's men, like Abraham or Solomon.How about polygamy?
It would expand or reestablish wider parameters for participation.Should it be legalized? Wouldn't its legalization further redefine marriage?
Much less difficult to oppose given genetic and psychological distortions involved with that sort of pairing.How about incestuous pairings?
I don't think bigotry has to come into play in any of the considerations going on here or even in the one involving homosexuals. You can oppose that latter union without being a bigot. But you can't, so far as I can discern, oppose its legality as a rationalist. And that should be the foundation for secular law.Any "bigotry" on your part when it comes to its legalization?

The bigotry becomes evident with the assumption of one's own moral superiority. An assumption based on the unquestioned allegiance to one's own perspective and opinions.I don't think bigotry has to come into play in any of the considerations going on here or even in the one involving homosexuals. You can oppose that latter union without being a bigot. But you can't, so far as I can discern, oppose its legality as a rationalist. And that should be the foundation for secular law.
well then
answer it for the posters on tol
Gay marriage and polygamyWhy the slippery-sloped questionnaire?
Is the left redefining marriage or simply attempting to include homosexuals under the current rubric?
Of course not. Not all marriages end for serious reasons: My 2 sisters dumped perfectly decent, kind, educated men so they could take up with hooligans half their age.
so how do we keep mommy and daddy together?
provide tax breaks to married couples
provide tax exemptions for children
give the mother who normally stays home the social security of the father when he dies
make marriage sacred
make marriage a life commitment
make protection of the children the purpose of marriage
go after those who abandon their children
just for starters
Well, I know my sisters very well. All too well. lain:OR perhaps you don't know everything that was going on in their marriages. People of selective reasoning view things as they wish to view them.
This was too important to not post; as no one else has, I will:
