Does consent not matter to you as a distinction?

Because it is pretty much THE ONLY THING that matters in marriage for me.



Gay marriage is yet another example of how desperately lost and devoid of tact the values voter wing of the GOP is with the rest of the country. If they had even one iota of tact they'd have taken the Ron Paul stance of making marriage an institution divorced from the state. No more marriage licenses, etc. Make it a purely religious function. Allow people to assign spousal benefits they would get from insurance/government by having a standard form that has to be notorized at an official government building (say the nearest USPS that does passports). But no. The values voters wanted to go against principles and use the power of the state to force their views upon everybody else. And so they've been spending the last several years getting their *** handed to them.
So I'm just curious.

Define Marriage now...like as of this moment in time.

Not just you but anyone

Throughout human history, there have been many cultures that have encouraged or tolerated polygamy. Very few (if any) allowed gay marriage. So if the court now allows us to take the giant leap from heterosexual marriage to homosexual marriage, what is to prevent us from taking the shorter leap to polygamy?

I'm in, if I had six more wives, I'd have one for everyday of the week. COGS

Marriage is a union of personal and/or religious nature between consenting adults. Yes I intentionally leave the plural there open. Doesn't matter as long as it is adults (18+) and consenting. The state's sole function should merely be to accept my aforementioned notarized document for insurance/benefit purposes.

And while I find it personally distasteful, note there are not genetic stipulations there. Because if you don't think that's already going on you're not paying attention, and don't know who Woody Allen is.

So there really is not definition anymore

Like I said, I'm happily married with 4 great kids but I'm gonna marry my 90 year old grandmother and rake in the benefits.

Consent is relatively new to marriage. Love. Choice. New

Most were arranged in the past. No consent asked or needed. So consent is not necessary for defining marriage.

More power to you. But I do believe it is up to the insurers to define what THEY find acceptable in a marriage, and I suspect they'll put in place rules to stop that sort of thing.

The same I would expect would be done with SS benefits from the Feds.

Hence why as a civilization we continue to evolve. What was once a common practice - normally meant to unify 2 families for political/security/selfish/etc. reasons is now abhorrent to western civ.

I've only known 2 couples in an arranged marriage. 1 from India, 1 from Bangladesh...both are wealthy (one owns a chain of subways, one owns a chain of Quiznos) and both have been happily married for over 20 years.

Just sayin'

So if such a law ever gets passed, get ready for an influx of some sons of *******. Don't know if they will be mean or not.

I chose my wife and it didn't work out so well. My parents couldn't have done any worse if they got to choose.
