    funny, clinton seemed to do ok with a republican congress


    but besides all of that, your blame the republicans tactic has nothing at all to do with him winning the award. Plain and simple he got the award when he did absolutely NOTHING to deserve it

    what is there to change? You are making things to complicated

    The law could very simply state (all laws regarding marriage are null and void. from this day forward the laws are as follows....

    things are only hard because people like you seem to keep them that way

    If you really think the cost wont simply be shifted to the consumer you would have a valid argument. But the sad truth is that when corp taxes go up, prices go up.

    How about instead of taxing the company you simply tax the finished goods???

    business should collect taxes, not pay them (because they never do the costs get factored into price)

    exactly. being married has nothing to do with the argument the other poster is trying to make

    the thing is though MY solution would cover everyone now, and offend no one. it literally is a win win for all. instead of chipping away at it one step at a time, lets make it crumble, and make it equal for all

    so if the hospitals already set the rules.... how about we just keep it that way and let them set the rules for their business???

    if the contract is written up in such a way, yes why not? it happens now (divorce)

    so the government can enforce a contract between consenting adults. why cap it with only 2? why not treat it more as an incorporation in the eyes of the law???

    how so?

    only men and women - protected class

    only single gay man and single gay man - protected class

    only gay woman, and gay woman, - protected class

    You are telling me that when you add 2 new classes to the equation that is it somehow fewer???

    all the more reason to simply fix that problem with the law, rather then bringing in a new protected class

    the health concerns are gone. as it is its not "wife" or "husband" its "family" when I was in the hospital i had no less than 30 people come visit me over a few days, friends, family etc. Yes I wasnt ICU but still.

    This is one of those things that when you break it down you understand the government should not be involved in whether or not someone can visit you in the hospital. Thats some serious micro management.

    Let the hospitals set the rules based on the risks involved in letting visitors in to see a sick patient.

    ok.... so whats the issue here? why SHOULDNT the entire town be allowed to visit you in the hospital if you are sick and they want to? why should they have to be "married" to do that? why cant I, the sick person in the hospital simply grant those rights to ANYONE???

    you are making a bigger problem out of it, for what reason I dont know

  24. Re: This isn't a question on Ireland Votes Yes To Same-Sex Marriage · · Score: 1

    all the more reason to remove all restrictions and let it be what it is, a contract. one that can be entered by anyone, for any reason (in the eyes of the government) there is no reason to double down when the simple solution is to remove the barriers for everyone

    so this state defined contract should be open to all, not just 1 man and 1 woman, or 1 woman and 1 woman, or 1 man and 1 man is all im getting it. if we want true equality that would be the right move
