Ahem.

According to CA state Senator Tom McClintock (Thousand Oaks), I'm not married:

"The reason marriage is fundamentally different from a civil contract is that marriage is formed for a fundamental purpose - that is, to bring a new life into the world."

Marriage is for personal partnership not baby-making.
It is amazing what comes out of these politician's mouths.

Ah, screw these fundamental assholes. You're married, I was there, I witnessed it ... <g>

[fionnbharro.livejournal.com]

Eww!

[goldenstag.livejournal.com]

I witnessed the marriage ceremony, nothing else. Sheesh.

"Eww" to the "screw these fundamental assholes"

[goldenstag.livejournal.com]

Well, I didn't mean it literally, sheesh.

So.... is this a *good* thing, or a *bad* thing?

[fionnbharro.livejournal.com]

Married or not, having kids in one's life really *is* a thoroughly rewarding experience.

( Still basking in the 'new-dad, again' glow, I am...)

Marriage is a *good* thing.

I heartily object to being told that my marriage isn't valid because we don't plan to procreate.

OK, Just so, you know, you're both not lesbians or in vegetative states, or anything like that.





(This was total snark, you know...)

Uh, I got married to get more sex...am I married still?

[corva.livejournal.com]

A perfectly legitimate reason!

"It is better to marry than to burn" -- I think that was St. Paul.

[patsmor.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. The idiot.

[patsmor.livejournal.com]

Did it work??????


(Statistics show that 40% of all American couples, hetero or homosexual, report a 50-60% drop in sexual activity within 4 years of marriage.... NIH report, 2004...)

Logical conclusions

[cvirtue.livejournal.com]

I think couples who want to get married shouldn't be allowed to unless they bring their babies with them, then. Anyone who can't prove progenability (is that a word?) will have their marriages annulled immediately.

Ah, the neo-Shaker Theology, I see.
