There’s no putting this cat back in the bag.
We’re going to need a societal reboot.
Why don’t we just split in two? We’ll take the South, some of the Midwest, Southwest, etc., and they can have New England, the Mid-Atlantic, Michigan, Pacific Coast, etc...
Where does it stop?
Full-speed ahead. I also believe that cousins should be allowed to marry...and people should have the right to marry animals. We might as well make this as stupid as possible...until someone starts to grasp the whole game being played out.
Before the mid-1800s, states didn’t control marriage or require licenses. If you wanted a marriage, you went to a minister....got noted in a Bible....and walked out a couple. This entire game of state-recognized marriage started up because of issues of joint-property and the guys who were marrying in one town...leaving suddenly...and popping up 40 miles away married to another woman.
To point this out...we’ve had “union” problems for decades. I can remember in my hometown...there were two sisters and one brother who decided to stay at home....and never left. One became a school teacher...one a gardener...and the brother was a local roofer. When I left in 1977...they were all three in their 60’s and still in the family house. There are all kinds of issues here...where the three probably should have had some kind of “union” status and able to own joint-property between them. I see the same issue with two guys who are best friends and own a restaurant for three decades...they ought to have some kind of union status.
We need to stand back and review this whole game. The gays have turn marriage into a joke. We might as well return the concept of marriage in 1780...let it be a non-state matter and just marry in a church. If you want a union of any type....even if its five guys who want the union...go for it and be state-recognized.
Can I marry my guns?
Who said it would?
I will marry my kids to avoid having the looters party levying any taxes upon my death.
Now, now, you know the culture doesn’t matter. All that matters is cutting taxes and reducing spending, as Arlen Specter and Olympia Snowe said. Of course, they said this right after voting for the Obama Porkulus bill, so never mind.
Now I don’t have to feel guilty about marrying the Swedish Bikini Team next week.
I am so looking forward to it.
What we need is to give the perverts a nice firm re-boot in the ass
Marraige license, $25
Dog license, $100
Do the math.
No, it's not even about sex, it's about benefits. It's a great deal: find one person with government benefits, and have 3 or 4 "marry" him or her - then you can have several adults enjoying one person's benefit package. And what's to stop them?

Divorce lawyers are rubbing their hands and cackling like Dr Evil on crack.
If I can marry my computer.
Good one!
That triad thing really worked out for you, ma'am didn't it?
Yep, if MARRIAGE is defined as anything, then who can then say that 2 should be the number? Once you toss out common sense and God, then anything goes. How dare you impose this arbitrary number 2 on people. Everyone should be free whatever they want. Marriage can be defined however anyone wants. Just wait until they will want to marry their horses, chimps, dogs, cats, etc....
