Originally posted by BOFH: Where are these folks when it comes to doing away with "No Fault" divorce? Where someone can just say, I didn't really mean my vows, I want to go off and boink someone else and not lose any of my stuff.
If my fellow conservatives want to protect marriage, make it much harder to get a divorce.
A-f***ing-MEN. Let's see how committed some of these folks are to the cause of "protecting the sanctity of marriage".
I cannot believe that we're a month and a half away from the year 2006 and people still cannot handle the fact that there are same-sex couples out there who want to be married. How in the hell does 2 guys or 2 girls marrying each other lessen the strength of your marriage or lead to the downfall of society? Also, for the record... anyone who tries to make the "Gay Marriage/Downfall of the Roman Empire" correlation loses all credibility, IMO. It's absurd.
I also cannot agree with the thought that homosexuality is a CHOICE. Do people honestly think that someone, based solely on sexual urges, would choose to be a part of a lifestyle that is ridiculed and discriminated against on a daily basis? That makes absolutely no sense to me at all.
Bottom line, IMO: If two people want to make a commitment as strong as marriage to each other, who cares? If your "traditional" marriage is weakened by two guys or girls marrying each other, you've got much bigger problems to handle.
