| killerzX said: extremely misleading title. how can you call this "mariage equality" when it still excludes large portions of people who seek to get marriage. it still discriminates on many forms of marriage. people still cant marry 3 wifes and 2 husbands, people still cant marry their mom, sister or dad. people still cant marry people under 18 (18 years is a very arbitrary cut off for consent) why cant a 14, 15, 16, or 17 year old give consent. and though this may be a bit of a stretch, people still cant have sex/and or marry with animals. now i know you will say animals cant give consent. but i fail to see when said animals gave consent to me cooking them and putting them on my plate to eat, i fail to see when they gave the butcher consent to slaughter it, i fail to see it give consent to pet owners, who own them, control them, and dictate what the animal does in its life. i fail to see when it gave consent to be euthanized when it is no longer wanted by the owner/or for age related reasons. We can own, eat, kill, control animals without consent, but we cant have sex or marry the animal. So no, this isnt marriage equality, this is homosexual couple marriage. while i think marriage is between one man and one women, i also dont believe its governments job to regulate marriage. i think government should get out of the marriage business all together. |
The thing about animal consent when we ate them it's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
