I make 5 times what she makes, I'm sure I'd be strapped with alimony
Dood..did you just read what you said?
Come on, man. Step back. Breathe. If THAT is how you define the positives and negatives of 'marriage' then you cant POSSIBLY put that on 'gay marriage'. And if we are being honest...you probably would feel better with a blanket apology to people on this forum for letting your emotions get the better of you. Its not personal. Dont make it personal. Dont take it personally.
I've been married 33 years. Its been a battle but its also been fricken awesome. Never once has divorce come up as a possibility and the last thing ever on my mind would be about the negative financial aspect of separation and divorce. Dont tlet those things cloud your opinion on what is and always will be a powerful and beautiful thing.
Maybe. From what I hear though those are hardly ever valid
Dont be silly. I am accepting law. I am citing the justices emotional response. And you are somehow shtting yourself over that fact.
Don't see where, or why, they would have a valid argument against polygamy and close relation. Probably will start to see those lawsuits in the next few months.
A church that doesn't believe in same-sex marriage will be forced to perform the ceremony OR risk being sued. I don't know of any churches that are against real marriage.
I'm all for a traditional "Two-parent household" of course. Two mommies or two daddys is just creepy and does have some negative effect on the child. Growing Up With Two Moms: The Untold Children
Because you stole marriage from me and made it something dirty
Says the guy holding up a right-wing, biased study, as the only valid information in the world on the subject.
Then that is your problem. Of course, if you go into your marriage expecting to eventually pay alimony, then it is likely that you don't have too much confidence in the marriage to begin with.
There have already been cases to argue these types of issues and, in fact, the Supreme Court very recently refused to review (and thus upheld) a State Supreme Court decision which denied a polygamist challenge.
These people are on here gloating and rubbing it in...they'll never get an apology from me.
Of course you're right, but this is just one more knock against marriage. Marriage favors the woman anyway, the justice system has already taken divorce law to where your wife can cheat on you, if you divorce her, she gets HALF.
I don't really want to get saddled with that level of financial risk. This decision today just zaps whatever there was about marriage that was pure or worth pursuing anyway....because there is no logical reason for a well off man to marry, the only reason would have been emotional or traditional. Well, now those reasons are finito as well
It was more of a story about a woman who had two "moms" and how it negatively impacted her life.
No.
This is you trying to rationalize that your position on this subject and abortion, the two things you are most vocal about is based on anything but pure, unadulterated hatred and anger.
Church's are not required to marry anyone.
Tim, it's *always* been legal. There's always been a fundamental right to polygamy. We're just waiting for the right five justices to come along and pull it of their asses, where it's been hiding all this time.So does this mean that polygamy is now legal too?
Tim-
Now they have a majority opinion from the SCOTUS as leverage to re-argue at the lower levels.

Ok..perhaps I worded it in a way you didn't understand. Churches who perform traditional marriages will be sued if they refuse to marry same-sex couples. IMHO. We will have to wait and see what happens.
But it's right wing, so therefore must be invalid since it's biased. Oh...wait...that only applies to the left, correct? :roll:
