Something I wouldn't take Kohnhead.
Exactly.
The biggest danger, of course, is that marriage overall is diminished. Anybody and anything can get married. A once sacred act of love is reduced to a MacDonald’s Happy Meal.
So why go to trouble of getting married at all? Cohabitation rules. Children and civilization be damned. Such is the case in Sweden.
“It makes more sense than homo marriage...which is unnatural.”
In this I would agree as pologimus marriages possesses at least 1 key aspect of marriage: natural Children(family).
2 women, or 2 men alone are biologically incapable by design of such a fundamentally purposeful requirement of marriage.
So, if a person has more then one spouse, do they all get to collect food stamps and welfare? Oh and just imagine IRS tax filings for number of dependents.
I believe Muslim communities pretty much have this now anyways, five women collecting welfare all living in the same house....
Forget the in laws its even more stupid when getting all the kids matched with their grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. As a fantasy, it sounds great. When well thought out few would want it.
It’s true all over Europe, and to a lesser extent in the U.S.. People have commitment issues, and no-fault divorce makes marriage an insane liability should a divorce happen. I say all over Europe because my Grandmother noted to me how common it is in Austria, and I have noted its’ commonality in Spain. Then in thw U.S., well half of my graduating high school class had at least a kid ten years later, but only a fraction of those with at least a kid actually were married.
They doing that in UK RIGHT NOW
It’s pretty bad, as you point out. Most illegit children grow up dependent on the welfare state and don’t normally become Phds. and hardworking entrepreneurs.
Out of wedlock births are the death of civilization.
Once Anthony Kennedy gives SCOTUS’ imprimatur on homosexual marriage there will be no rational basis for keeping polygamy illegal.
My wives and I voted 3-1 against polygamy.
How clever!
well it’s clear I won’t make any money on the comedy club circuit.
Maybe, maybe not. Maybe I’m just a humorless old fart who enjoys busting morphing libertarian balls. Who knows?
This legal eagle who's name escapes me was rather moribund post the Supreme's weighing in as he could forsee the law of unintended consequences are kicking in like an Atlas Rocket...
two old farts on the same thread.
Good day sir!
Adios Kemosabe!
Sounds good.
You know what I found interesting was the fact that one’s support for SSM strongly correlates with one’s stance for other issues. One who is for SSM has a far greater likelihood of being: pro-abortion, considers infidelity in marriage less serious of a wrongdoing, considers premarital sex less serious, considers unwed cohabitation less serious. I will include the source if anyone is interested.

You should, but your conclusion doesn’t surprise me. People who don’t define marriage in terms of family and commitment to God, are not likely to find much in the way of a moral foundation anywhere else.
Frankly as I said before, if you lack such a basic understand of the foundation of marriage your ‘promus’ to the person you would call husband or wife is rather empty on the grounds that you have no idea what your talking about when you uses that word. That what your proposing to ‘commit’ really isent a commitment at all, its just an expensive government contract.
