As long as gay couples are banned from getting married; as long as you're restricted to marrying only ONE partner -- and as long as you're forced to legally bear responsibility for your spouse's financial affairs -- I, being openly bisexual, polyamorous and fiercely protective of my financial independence, say NUTS to marriage. -- Skeeter
Sure they do! However, their lovemaking always occurs within the context of a lifelong pledge of complete trust and commitment to each other.
what is marriage anyway? what's the point of getting a girl to legally consent herself to you for the rest of her life. that sounds like a slave contract. fuck that--she deserves better.
I don't doubt that your son is precious or that you love him dearly, and I'm glad that you have found happiness with a more suitable husband and father. Can you see, though, how your son might have been hurt by being deprived of a father if things hadn't worked out as they have? I think it's generally best for children to be conceived and born within a secure marriage relationship. Hello? It's a mutual covenant bond!
wow. that's all i can say, wow. :$ the "suitability" of my husband/his father is none of your business or concern! (man, huck, i'll give you this much, typing that had to take some balls!) how dare you presume to tell me what "hurts" or "deprives" my son? you've never met either of us, not me, my son, or his father. i will decide what is "generally best" for my child, based on my own relationship with him & his own desires & development, not the preaching and prating of internet zealots. this statement is way out of line, as is any preaching or prying into any one else's sex or family life. if you don't want sex outside of marriage, then don't have sex outside of marriage. but keep your nose out of my love life. go focus on your own damn family.
A bit hyper-defensive, aren't we? The notion that kids tend to fare better with both a mother and father is hardly a brainchild of radical right-wing zealots: http://www.franks.org/fr01243.htm
I cant stand people thinking on these lines, its like "me me me" what I think is correct. You know if thats what you think fuck off and do it (great), but leave other people to get on with there lives and live it how they want. Most of the evil in this world is caused by people trying to push what they think is the moral high ground on other people. Also its pretty daft to ask for a "conservative opinion" on a place called hipforums. Asking for such a question is just asking to be backed up on your beliefs, so why bother, it aint gonna happen.
