Federal Marriage Amendment (Tabled)

[Cranberry]

You know, I personally oppose polygamy and incestous marriages, and whatever kind of marriages the Northeast has legalized over the last months. The problem however I see with this is, who are we that we can deny people the exercise of what they want, as long as they don't harm anyone in turn. This is my main problem with this - is it really government's job to deal with such matters? Shouldn't it be left with the individuals? I will have to think about this a bit before I can give my ultimate answer.

[Cranberry]

Is this really something we want to add to our federal constitution?

I guess that's my main point of concern with this bill. I really do not want to have that in the constitution. Maybe as a law? But surely not as an amendment.
Hence, call ma Moderate Hero, I will side with JCL on this - leave it to the regions.

[Cranberry]

Aye

As I said I don't want it in the constitution, plus this:

This is an area where regional rule is a must.

I hope child porn isn't legal in the Northeast. Or is it? I don't think things have been pushed that far yet.

If you want to talk about RL seeping in Dem, I would also like to point out that almost no one in RL America would argue in favor of a 20 hour work week.  Hell Dennis Kucinich might be in favor of a 28 hour work week, and that is only so he would have enough time to look for UFOs.

Hey, I'm just saying!

Yeah, or bigfoot, lol. I'm actually against a 20 hour work week as well and in the thread where that was being debated (that bill was tabled) I referenced that the best scenario in the developed world is around 29 hours for a work week. I'd be willing to enact a 28 hour work week for Atlasia, but no lower.

Wait, how many hours does the work week (currently) have in Atlasia?

[Cranberry]

Call me a reactionary or whatever you want to call me, but 32 hours is the bottom level we can go without experiencing serious economical problems. I hope that with this rule there is an option for working more if you want to?
