State to Eliminate “Bride” & “Groom” on Marriage Certificates [W:303]

My point was though, how could decadence have been responsible for their fall if they weren't sinful and decadent when they fell? Remember, all of the sinful stuff had stopped by the time they entered decline.

A house built on a weak foundation is doomed, my point was Rome was built on an immoral-weak foundation and I see us trading in our Judeo Christian foundation for something more resembling Rome.

That's a weak and silly point. How did immorality that existed hundreds of years earlier doom the Roman Empire? It'd be like if America fell and we blamed it on the Japanese Exclusion Act. Listen man, not everything can be blamed on "teh gays".
 
They could just have the couple each circle which word they each want to apply. Or just have more than one form to fill out.

That's what I mean, and what is said during the marriage ceremony? Is it husband and wife, husband and husband, wife and wife, person A and person B, etc., etc. If there is no objection to the terms (husband and/or wife) during the actual ceremony, then why the big deal about what it says on the marriage certificate? I don't get it.
 
As i stated earlier in this thread I have read quite a few books on Rome and see similarities to their demise and what is going on in America today. The site and quote from it I posted sum up Romes morality issues pretty well for this venue. If you disagree that morality or should I say lack thereof had anything to do with the fall of Rome that is fine but it is one of the many theories out there. Rome fell for a myriad of reasons and IMO their decedent culture was one of them. A society where deviant behavior becomes the norm is doomed and I see us heading in that direction.

You give no logic to "decadence" causing decline. Unless you claim Christianizing is decadent.

Except Rome fell AFTER Judeo-Christian values became influential. At that height of Roman power and for a very, very long there was NO Judeo-Christian values. So the FACTS prove you exactly wrong. Using your asserted cause-and-effect, Judeo-Christian values are the last thing America should have.
 
now you are flat out lying

no it is not all factual you said it was "indistinguishable" not only is that not factual its laughable.

by all means though again, when you have anything logical or factual to support your claim by all mean please provide.

Yes i saw your sources they do NOTHING to make your statement factual or logical, nothing.

I'm not lying but I appreciate the name calling, it always is the best way to solve disagreements (that was sarcasm). It's all there in the sources I'm saying the exact same thing that they do so maybe you are just misunderstanding or misreading my posts?

I don't know why ypou are so supportive of any and all deviant behavior but you are. To each his own I guess.
 
yes i do disagree because thats not what is happening, its not changing

When marriage in the US has traditionally been between a man and a woman and is now starting to be more inclusive that is a change.

This is the kind of stuff that predicated the fall of the Roman empire. Watch for the legalization of having sex with children next.

You know, we actually know why the Roman empire fell. We don't have to make up stuff to figure it out.

yes you are 100% factually lying because you made that statement they were indistinguishable, that is NOT factual that is your opinion based on ZERO facts and ZERO logic lol. Nice try to deflect though and act like somebody called you a name or is disagree with you.

We arent having a disagreement, i simply am pointing out your inaccurate statement you made and you are in denial of it.

It weird i keep asking you for facts and logic to back up your claim and you cant do it, i wonder why? :)

no its not, why? because men and women can still marry eachother just like before, sorry you are simply wrong

Allowing gay people to marry makes marriage more inclusive, not exclusive. Just saying. :)

this is very true i agree

but her argument was people are fighting thins because they are worried about "traditional" marriage (which is simply a made up term and subjective) and they dont want it to change.

THe reality is it isnt for them, they arent affected so what ever they view as traditional marriage is still true :)

for example if yesterday i viewed traditional marriage as the man is in charge and i make the rules and the woman obeys as long as i find a women to actually do that, thats what are traditional marriage will be, if equal gay rights are granted tomorrow my view of traditional marriage doesn't change nor is it impacted i still get to do it. Im sure you know this but she seems to be very confused

I agree with that, but she is right in that this is the reason people give for being upset about it. Personally, I don't mind if gay people get married at all. I don't get the controversy over this groom/bride or husband/wife thing, and I haven't heard a good reason for it yet but meh whatever. :shrug:

what is the reason? nothing is changing

i agree people get upset because they SAY it is changing but its not :shrug:

those people are simply wrong

I never said the two were indistinguishable I said that in the 1970's during the sexual revolution they were a part of the same movement, and they were back then at that time indistinguishable in a way because they were an organization recognized as a gay rights movement organization they were a part of the same entity trying to make their way into mainstream society, I also said that it was a good move on the part of the other gay rights organizations when they started to distance themselves and then when they finally completely distanced themselves from NAMBLA. There's a difference, and then I posted two separate cites saying the EXACT same thing as I, and than I called it history while you denied the whole thing as ever happening when there is a plethora of evidence supporting everything that I said, all you have to do is crack open a book on the sexual revolution in the 1970's specifically dealing with the beginnings of the gay rights movement.

This I why I said you probably just misread or misunderstood what I was saying.

I agree. A lot of heterosexual couples get divorced or have crappy marriages, so who the hell are we to talk?

wow you just LIED again you said they used to be indistinguishable from the gay rights movement!

heres your qoute
Actually since NAMBLA was much more active in the 1970's and indistinguishable from and part of the gay rights movement I'm gonna have to go with a resurfacing of that as being the next logical step.

PETA is very anti bestiality since animals can't give consent. I live in an area where this is a very serious topic of discussion. :thinking

so I misunderstood nothing just pointed out how silly and inaccurate your statment was. They were never the SAME movement (because they had different goals) and they were always distinguishable because they are clearly different, sorry.

You posted NOTHING to support that they were indistinguishable, nothing.

LOL well i agree with that too, that why i also laugh when people talk about the "sanctity" of marriage being at risk, thats a joke to :)
