Is it?
Yall should learn not to give a fuck.
That is a very useful skill if you can master it.
Pot does help of course.
I don’t think this has been discussed, but forgive me if it has…
What about the libertarian view on this? I think marriage should not be a government institution at all. Why is the government defining marriage? Why do I have to tell the government and get its permission to shack up with someone? What did people before it was part of the government? Where they not married? The government shouldn’t be in the middle of this.
If you’re Christian, go have your Christian wedding at a church. If you’re Jewish, go have it at Temple. If you’re atheist, go have it wherever you want. The government should be involved. You can do power of attorney and other social contracts such as prenups to cover the legal aspects of it. The beauty of this is, anyone can create a contract with anyone, and no one cares! It just has to pass contract law.
The government already infiltrates our lives through many means. If we as people can choose one thing in life, one thing that no one can intrude on, one thing the government should not touch, wouldn’t that be love? Somehow that one thing has not only been made part of the system, and not only does everyone accept it mindlessly and sheepleshly, but people actually defend it vehemently to remain government regulated!!!
It is mind-boggling to me. Girls don’t feel they are “married” unless the government gives them their blessing. It is insane. Girl says, “yes, I want you in me, but the government hasn’t given us the ok yet”. Sounds like a horror sci-fi big-brother scenario. I’m sorry but I rage every time this topic comes up. I’m amazed at how people are such lambs about such important matters.

I would be okay with all of this. Most people here are not the ones you need to convince though. It is the girls you mentioned, good luck with that.

Because the ordering of the reproductive sexes is of national interest.

What I see going on is an attack on religious freedom. That including the notion of freedom from others religion. Our government should have never recognized marriage between anyone. There are however very real legal consequences for separation to which citizens turn to the courts. [/quote]

If I ever get married my wedding will be filled with Carl Sagan quotes, not anything out of the Bible.[/quote]
Now, how would Carl Sagan quotes fit your Twilight themed wedding? Or, did you change your mind on that?

That reference flew right over my head. 95% of what I watch on TV is sports.

Me too. Pretty much if there isn’t football or baseball on, I’d rather read. Ah, but tis the season! Put me in coach!
