Try telling that to the boys in Tuscaloosa. They all say that the sheep are asking for it.

I feel like the line is here. I would have mocked you for being a dumb hick, except I was proven wrong when the SJW's shoved trannys down our throats and shoved the removing of 200 year old statues down our throats.

Maybe I'm the gullible one for being initially happy with the gay marriage ruling and the taking down of the confed. flag at SC. If I'd have known how far the SJW's and left would have pushed I'd have supported the conservative point of view maybe.

It's obvious we've got a lot of gay marriage supporters in here. Which that's fine, that's your right. One thing I'd like to ask supporters of gay marriage though is this; Now that gay marriage is legal, what limits on marriage should be in place? Should it be limited by number, relation, age, or should there be no limits? Where should the new line on marriage be and what in your opinion validates that new line?
If you're of age and doing something, like getting married, that doesn't affect me, I don't care. Have at it.

It's 2015, people have right to marry whoever they want. As long as both parties understand what they're getting themselves into and no close relation. If a gay couple wants to get married, it won't affect my life. It isn't the gays that are ruining the sanctity of marriage, it's the Kardashians.

Numbers of what, marriage licenses issued? That's dumb, it should be the same thing for same sex as it is for opposite sex marriages.


No numbers as in how many can enter into a marriage. As things stand now, you can only be married to one person at a time. However, there's a lot of people out there who want to enter into plural marriages (AKA bigamy). If three or more consenting adults wish to enter into a marriage contract, should they be allowed to do so? If not, on what legal grounds should they be denied?

Fair enough. I'd like to know why you draw the line at "close relation"?

While I agree, they probably don't consent to our ownership and enslavement of them either. Not that it stops me, of course.

Don't forget your week long crusade for Cecil. Funny how you don't post about that anymore.

Fair enough. So where should the line be drawn? I'm taking it that you believe there should be no restriction the number of people in a marriage or their relation to one another. I guess that leaves only age as the line to draw. Is that where you'd say you stand?

Def drawing a line on that. I think brother, sister, mother, father and 1st/2nd cousins should be off limits.

i mean if i got to draw up the world, it wouldn't even be age. it would be capacity to contract

there are some 13 year olds more capable and ready to enter into contracts than some 30 year olds i know

if you're 18, want to get married, and not related to the point of breaking the law in that regard; there should be no stipulations.



Why should this matter?

Several presidents would take issue with that, seeing as how the risks are infinitesimally low at that point.

Gotcha. That's your line. So what do you base your line on?
