If so, do not leave off: "intelligent, questioning, and clear-thing, with little tolerance for politically correct B/S."
You're a clear-thing? How very odd!

I think that is going a bit too far in saying "Traditional marriage no longer exists."
Afterall, as you have stated, something like 50% of marriages endure.

But I do agree that Traditional marriage is under threat, and I think that assymmetrical Divorce laws have something to do with that. I would certain put a big fork into the present divorce laws, as I am working to restore Traditional Marriage.

I wonder what the gay community thinks about financial predators who aim to benefit from marriage? Believe me, this is bound to be a big problem in the future, as some state bless gay marriages.

I think you are not clear thinking on this issue, or you would be willing to discuss it, as I am - So far only the UK seems to have begun to confront the important issue of The Cost of Gay Marriage (to taxplayers). The dumbed-down MSM pretends the "cost" issue does not even exist.

Why? Why would gay marriage be what "financial predators" take advantage of? Why are they not now taking advantage of straight marriage? What advantages do gay marriages provide for "financial predators" that straight marriages do not provide?

(I have known several people who contracted fraud marriages for financial benefits - all were in the military)

*edit - I forgot, I also knew somebody who entered into a sham marriage for a green card

Of course straights can be financial predators in marriage - and that is not a good thing.
Have you not read my posts on assymmetrical divorce laws that I want to see changed? I want to be consistent on this, whichever sort of marriage the "predator problem" might show itself within.

Having said that, I think the "financial predator" problem will become much more apparent in gay unions, since I have often seen this dynamic in gay relationships - Please do not deny that it exists, and that it is common.

But please, try to convince me that I am wrong... I promise to listen, and read the posts.

If we should continue to marginalize gay couples for the sake of cost, then heck, why not just bring back slavery... We're not dumbed-down; your argument just lacks morals, character, and worthiness.

I really have no clue what you're talking about. Perhaps we are taking "financial predator" to mean different things. What did you mean by it?

Sorry, but I really do not understand your point - except that I get you did not like my post.

Why must limiting financial crossover in any way, "marginalize" gay couples, unless I am right and the whole gay marriage issue is : "about the money, honey." ("You want to have sex, you're gonna pay" -as the $10 wh@r3 said.)

Opposition to gay marriage is not a minority opinion. It's just tiring arguing with you people. You're not worth the aggravation. Go on an wallow in your perversions. God will deal with it all at the appointed time.
