    Yeah, Exiled. Imagine what zoos do now... about bringing in mates for some animals... and if they brought no more females into males' cages... :cool:

    "Aw, look at those two married monkeys..." :confused:

    No. United... in UNION. :p

    Who said I do? :confused:

    I have my own conclusion of what connects based on physical built and what doesn't. I never claimed to. Your partner *see? a partnership* can be from any country and still be happy with you.

    Don't know why you have to attack me for my country of origin.

    Would be simple enough. Or accept different meaning of marriage.

    Marriage in government <> personal or religious marriage.

    Not sure why folks need so much to push their meaning of marriage onto the State.

    On USB sticking...

    Why don't you change the name of the religious unions instead. Non-religious people can get married, religious people can have religious unions.

    The people who are caught up on a word are the people who should be ignored.

    Especially the people who are caught up on a word and think that the use of that word is "the main issue here".

    That would work well for y'all except the LAW rules the land and they're called "MARRIAGE licenses" with the Justice of the Peace and "Marriages" in churches and chapels. ;)

    you're arguing the meaning of a word with the most pedantic poster on this board. good luck.

    But but the Bible strictly forbids it; it's Deuteronomy, not Doittomerodney....

    I always find it interesting that those who are opposed or at least uncomfortable with gay marriage always bring up sex acts.

    And I would support that but noone has seriously launched an effort to do this. I mean where are the protests, referendums or bills to get marriage out of government?

    Further I can't recall up until about 10 years ago when gay marriage rulings started gaining traction that anyone mentioned this idea.

    Both are important issues but we can deal with more than one issue at a time.

    That's a daisy chain, but you might not want to do a Google Image search on that term. ;)

    Always been my philosophy

    Once that is done . . . .

    Gays can Marry at their churches/homes/etc
    Christians can have their what ever
    Mormons can have their sister wives
    etc
    etc
    etc
