Good point.
I've always supported gay marriage, though. Not gonna start debating with anyone, I already have done that enough, but that's just my opinion. I think if everyone is "equal" then everyone should have the same rights.

What "rights" are not the same?

marriage needs to be taken more seriously
 

 Limiting it to a man and a woman is clearly the way to accomplish this.  Those homosexuals are far too giddy and irrational to take something like marriage seriously.  

 


thats a bit of a generalization

I know statistically homos are more likely to be promiscuious.
on average they have 4 times as many sexual partners as heteros


That's the biggest crock of bullshit I've ever heard.

The feminist support for bullcrap divorce laws has done a lot of damage to marriage, and is ruining vast amounts of children in this generations x and y.

While completely banning divorce would be pretty dumb, as there are times where it should be allowed, the current situation does need to change.

  no but marriage is meant to be about monogomy, people who are sexually promiscuous, shouldnt get married if they cant commit to one.    

  I have no tolerance for adultery, nor should anyone else


 
 yeah someone who is casually promiscuous certainly couldn't ever commit...
 say, i hear females in new zealand are the most promiscuous than any other female in  
the world, ban marriage in NZ?????????

What I don't get is how parents say, "I don't want my children to be exposed to that in school."

What the fuck? I've never had a lesson on heterosexual marriage on school, so why would I have a lesson on gay marriage?

Not just a blank ban on divorce, but yes, I would fully support banning of divorce in cases where somebody was just irresponsible and foolish and married before they were ready. I'm tired of our society telling people they don't have to take responsibility for their actions.

Sure would!

You answer as if there are no possible domino effects. 50% divorce rate; those couples suddenly forced to stay married would lead to even more unfaithfulness, more unhappiness, more substance abuse, more psychological needs, more intoxicated driving, more abuse, more murders, etc. To imprison a person through the take away of rights is not always a good thing, even if it is following a religion.

Heaven forbid it lead to people taking more time to make sound, responsible decisions when it comes to getting married.

I would love to see it become legal again.

We are trying very hard to get the same rights straights have, many straight men and women dont even value marriage anymore.
