Proposition 8 - Totally Gay Corollary Observations

[AChimp]

PPS. Seriously.

what is the difference between group and polygamous marriages?

Group marriages often have more than one of the same sex, I would assume. So like, 3 guys and 4 girls would be group marriage. Whereas 1 guy and 5 girls would be polygamous.

I think he answered it right there. Consenting adults. That is where you draw the line.

Yea and I responded to it, you vapid fuck. Polygamous marriages are between consenting adults. Do you notice how that's relevant? Do you need me to underline "consenting adults"?

And aliens? Really dude? Next you will be saying that in the future dogs will have cyborg brains and therefore can consent and yada yada yada...

good idea. Or if we started sending all apes to school.

Not to mention we can easily say one marriage at a time. There are plenty of polygamist in the USA and they seam to be just fine and dandy doing things the way they have been.

Uh, you can't JUST SAY IT. YOU HAVE TO HAVE A REASON. And it would be one marriage. One huge marriage. But why should you only be able to have one marriage? There's no reason why, it's just prejudice. Probably, it has the same religious/cultural roots as antisamesex shit.
I can just say that gays shouldn't be able to get married at any time.

ok i said it i guess the argument is over on that one

and using the "Natural" argument is retarded. For one, there is nothing natural about marriage. Two, what happens in a lion's pride and many early societies were polygamous rather than monogamous.
Natural is ambigious. It could refer to anything that exists. When he said that i thought it was a joke because its so ridiculous.

and what do you mean just fine and dandy? POLYGAMY IS ILLEGAL.

18 is the legal age of consent. Not just for sex but for anything. You cant sign any contracts before 18 (or if you do, you cant be legally held to it) this includes marriage. Now some states do allow people under the age of 18 to get married. I dont have a list of these states or what their requirements for marriage to people under the age of 18 are but it happens and its legal no matter how much people dont like it.

samesex marriage isn't only illegal because people don't like gays.
court or parental approval is necessary. most to 16

No need to get nasty man. Just having a debate. That was in response to the ad absurdum of "our society will have to accept bestiality"

You can easily make the law say marriage is between two consenting adults.

Polygamists in the USA today have a legal marriage to their 1st wife or whatever and the others just live there or nearby and say they are married. Because you can only be married to one person at a time in the USA, we wouldnt have to change that now would we? This works fine for them and they dont complain.

Your argument was that if we let gay people get married then we would have to let people who want to marry kids get married to kids. I was saying that people already marry kids and you cant blame gay marriage on that.
