The entire world flooded but somehow the Native Americans survived, isolated from Eurasia for thousands of years until Christ showed up with blunderbuss, horses, pestilence and bayonets.

They're just too hypocritical to realize that they want to deny others the same freedoms that allow them to speak as they do.
Yeah, well. They didn't call beating your wife abuse many years ago either as long as "it wasn't an unreasonable amount of beating". There was no precident for raping your wife before...sadly not that long ago.
Hopefully we wake the *** up from this part of our hateful element sometime soon, too.
Would it surprise you to hear that I agree with you?

But if people can get gay married, they won't get straight married anymore, and the human species will die out.

Legal decisions embolden other groups who thought that they didn't have a chance. I'm telling you, it's going to happen.
I agree. I don't really have an opinion either way; not my thing at all, but consenting adults, etc etc. Just fix the various applicable laws and regulations to compensate, and there you go.
For real, though; divorce attorneys nationwide are already salivating at the thought. ALL THE BILLABLE HOURS, FOREVER.

The question is, how will divorce courts decide who is the "wife" so they can screw over the "husband"?

Nah.
I'm just "speaking with feels", as they like to say.
I can't fathom thinking, "hey, it's a beautiful sunny day to spend with my child... WHY DON'T I GO HATE ON SOME nice people WITH LITTLE TIMMY!"

Except modern day slavery is vastly different to OT slavery that god approved.
Gods own people entered so called slavery.
It was simply a term to work for a household to pay off a debt. Or to work for a household for a better life. To which they were ordered by god to treat them as well as their own family.
We now have banks etc that have taken over this version of slavery, but now without the care.

What I think it is?
I mean, are we talking two people, or one person with two...

I think I'm gonna let this play out on its own.

Polygamy - Man or Woman having multiple spouses.
Polygyny - Man with multiple wives.

It's a specific term for the practice but polyandry almost never comes up in these types of conversations so it's understood that polygamy refers to a man w/multiple wives scenario.
But you are right.
By Ramyrez 2015-06-26 13:45:38
Polygyny - Man with multiple wives.
Okay, well I was thinking "multiple vaginas" so I wasn't sure if it was several women or some sort of Japanese horror movie where it was one woman and they also had teeth.

I couldn't do it either; I can't understand how people think that's healthy or okay. I've seen clips of supremacist families proudly teaching their kids those particular values and I don't get that either. My dad was racist. I never understood it, and so my kids are taught that all people are different and that judging based on skin color, gender, sexual orientation, disability status, or age is pointless. (I may have forgotten a category in this list. You see my point, I'm sure.)
Always keep an open mind, but not so open that your brains fall out.

The churches are gonna get it next. Gay activists are the only one's allowed to impose their will on everyone.

Religious freedom laws that enable people to refuse services (like performing marriage) to people whom their beliefs prohibit?
Oh ok just checking.

You know full well those laws were about private businesses and not religious entities. Or do you? No one cares.

Yes, because bigoted little shitstains would still like to codify their beliefs into laws allowing open discrimination. There is nothing about 'coming after churches'. Why is this going in circles?

Gay people are getting married.
You are not being denied a single, solitary, precious freedom.
Even your right to be a hateful bigot.

So churches aren't discriminating against people if they refuse to marry them but businesses are if they abstain from baking a cake? You readily display a desire to make religious people pay for their beliefs and you expect everyone to just take your word that you'll stop your charge before you get to the doors of a church.
You're naked bud, you have no clothes on.

Quote: The Supreme Court on Friday delivered a historic victory for gay rights, ruling 5 to 4 that the Constitution requires that same-sex couples be allowed to marry no matter where they live and that states may no longer reserve the right only for heterosexual couples.
The court’s action marks the culmination of an unprecedented upheaval in public opinion and the nation’s jurisprudence. Advocates called it the most pressing civil rights issue of modern times, while critics said the courts had sent the country into uncharted territory by changing the traditional definition of marriage.
This is a monumental day for LGBT rights.
