Thanks and believe it or not they are all real, there have been morons that have actually stated all those things and meant them 100%.
I hope to keep growing it but soon I think I'm going to have to rank them and replacing some because IM going to run out of room
Then this really does make the notion of marriage absolutely meaningless.
Your apology is not accepted.
I will forever be angry at you.
No, it would actually give it equality in my opinion.
Would still have tons of meaning.
Not if marriage just becomes a way to get certain legal benefits. If one of my buddies is having financial trouble, I could "marry" him and put him on my insurance or whatever.
So what another couple does affects your marriage, like divorce say?
you could, but then you'd be a faggot4lyf! :lamo :lamo
A couple of pedophiles could get married in order to make it easier to adopt children, but, you're right, it doesn't affect me so I guess that'd be ok.
I'm not talking in circles. The fact is homosexuals are asking for a right no one else has. That's just a fact, from a cold hard legal perspective.
Oh no, not when marriage becomes nothing more than a legal contract.
A couple of pedophiles could do that now. There are pedophiles of both genders. And you don't have to be married to adopt children in most places. What some people may or may not do should not determine whether we give equal treatment under the law. We do our best to try to prevent those who would take advantage of something from doing so.

Only if you leave out reality logic common sense and rational and play word games.
Is that how you view handicap access also?
When "marriage" is just understood to mean nothing more than a legal contract, yes.

Thanks SB, you're the only one who gets what I'm trying to say here.Alright, I'm gonna put my serious hat on and say this:
I think X has a point. When marriage is available to everyone and any two individuals who want to get together purely for the financial benefits, then yes, at that point the value of marriage would become significantly degraded.
On the flip side, as long as YOUR marriage means something to you, why should you care if someone else's marriage is effectively meaningless?
There are far more male pedos than there are women pedos.
This was just one example. Honestly, you and Mac have gotten me thinking along these lines. I hadn't considered what could happen if you take the idea of "family" out of marriage.

I could ask the same about commitment ceremonies between gays now. Nobody's saying they can't do that.
That is up to the couple and some do view it jut as a contract. And if that effects your marriage that is your and yours partners problem.
