Homer decided to take Mr. Burns' yacht out for spin into international waters so that he would be able to drink beer before 5 p.m. on a Sunday. Out there was also a man marrying a cow. This brings me to a few questions: What will the new definition of marriage be? Will we limit it to just two consenting people, no matter of sex (same-sex)? What about age (9-15 year olds)? What about number of people (Mormons)? What about species (dogs, cows, etc)? Since America is a democratic republic, I would be inclined to say that the definiton of marriage in America should rest on what the people say it is. In other countries it should rest on their way of determining laws. But just because one person has a different idea of what marriage should be, that does not mean the government must endorse that particular ideology. The government must make rules and the government must draw lines. That's the role of a government. They are supposed to discriminate against what the society deems harmful. Some public gray areas have already been through the legal system in America, like alcohol. First, the people wanted alcohol to not be sold in America. Once the people found out that created more problems than it solved, they changed the law again to allow alcohol to be sold. It took several years, but I think the best solution came out in the end. Some people still disagree. Personally, I don't think America's government should endorse other definitions of marriage other than one man and one woman (for life btw). I have many reasons for my belief, and I believe that other forms of marriage could be potentially harmful for my country. But that is my belief and my opinion. So I guess according to Grythus, I'm a liar, huh? [small](Edited by [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/user/7031]Gideon2[/url] on 05-29-2009 21:43)[/small] Loading...
