Yes. Would prefer the state just got out of it though.

I said DEMOCRATS! Not LIBERTARIANS!

Now you completely ruined the poll...

Yes. I don't see a difference between the two loves, and really I don't care.

I went back in time to earlier in the year, brought back the Democrat version of myself, had him answer the poll, type yes, then I typed and submitted the rest. ;)

But allowing gay people to get married will lead to a total moral breakdown in America and then everyone will start raping the family pet, you see.

Also, allowing Britney Spears to have a 54-hour marriage honors the sacred and moral tradition of marriages.

I also think it should be a lot harder to get a divorce.

I'm not sure that would help. People who are unhappy in their marriage are unlikely to improve.

As long as they're married, they have the same property. Better learn to get along.

Let's see...

- Against allowing homosexual people to enter marriage
- Against allowing heterosexual people to exit marriage

Right, okay.

And what about abusive marriages?

I said make it harder. Not impossible.

If they both want a divorce, then it should be legal. If only one does, the other is completely entitled to spend the other person's money and use all of that person's things.

I'd actually like that since it would seriously screw Britney Spears. Anything to hurt worthless people like her.

Yet again, you're ignoring the possibility of an abusive relationship.

Then I could marry a drunk Britney Spears in a Vegas wedding chapel, refuse to divorce, and get all her assetts? Score!

So... a person could act sweet and loving and then, once married, immediately turn abusive and dominate the other person's belongings, and you wouldn't want to allow the other person to get divorced?

Damn, you must love gay people to not allow them to marry under that plan.

Once again: I said harder, not impossible. He/she could still get a divorce under the situation you've described.

And you should have to be sober for any contract to be valid.

How, specifically, would you make it harder?


Title: Re: Democrats

Exceptions for abuse and adultery. In all other cases, no.

I consider this debate won :)

I will not be a rascist or a homophobe! Why is everyone so opposed to gay marrige? There is nothing that says gay people are evil! Oh wait, never mind, folks who have read the bible, obviously know the passage. Gay people should be allowed to be as miserable as the rest of those who decide to tie the knot.

I'm fine with gay people getting married. Just not to each other.
