    Well since the age of consent was initially lower, we'd just be going back to traditional ways. Isn't that that conservatives want?

    Well the Spanish one at least. All the others were predictable.

    There was the specification of forced. For the US it would be mandatory selective service registration.

    Of course because your only argument is name calling.

    I get it.

    Try defining woman as 'biologically female adult human' in a public sphere, document, organisation, classroom, etc etc, and see what happens. Go ahead, try it. Drop in to your nearest university wearing a t-shirt with that definition printed on it and see what sort of reception you get. Good luck.

    I documented crime scenes for 9 years - you have no idea.

    Still looking for anyone who has been traumatized or impacted in any way by gay marriage.

    I would be against men marrying 12 year old girls. It appears the left will head there someday.

    And I'm against lowering the voting age to 14 or 16 as Nancy Pelosi supports.

    It will spread as we become more permissive.

    Traumatized? No. Harmed? No.

    But it is sad that the relationship that guarantees the continuation of the species (male-female) no longer has any special distinction.

    Silly. I’ve been married for 28 years - my marriage changed not in the slightest the day gays were allowed to marry. If you think your marriage is any less special then the problem wasn’t gay people.

    There are 30 Major League Baseball teams. Being a major league player in NY, Chicago, or LA is special. If they suddenly expanded to 60 teams (in places like Omaha, Albuquerque, and Knoxville) being a major leaguer would still be special, just not as special.

    Since it was all opinion, not one word was wrong either.

    Just remember the penalty for bigamy is two wives.

    It is not full of contradictions, poor logic , arbitrary values, decisions or impossibilities.

    It's full of situations, mostly situations where people acted wrongly, logic that you don't understand, values based on the charecter of God, and because of God nothing is impossible.

    It comes down to, if "my book" is right, yes all the others have to be wrong. The bible makes exclusive claims. There are plenty of facts acting as evidence that the bible is true however the kingdom of God is not about facts. It's about faith. When you choose to believe it all the facts fall into place and they become so obvious.

    The Jews of Jesus's time had all the facts but they did not believe.

    There will never be enough proof for you, no matter what i say, that is the nature of unbelief.

    In your opinion of course. It's my opinion that it's not a matter of opinion.

    Both have the exact same ability to rid themselves of what is in their own body. A woman cannot rid herself of her genetic child that is carried in a surrogate. The advent of artificial wombs may also end up denying a woman being able to decide on termination of the ZEF while still allowing her to terminate the pregnancy itself.

    Polygamy has and does exist worldwide and is not limited to neither the FLDS, nor Muslims. Many polygamists (which is not limited to polygyny) aren't of any one faith.

    That's not supporting your assertion. It's rewording it. Support it.

    Well if you don't want to support traditional age of consent, then why would you want to support traditional marriage? Seems inconsistent to cherry pick which traditional values you think we should all follow.

    It's not spreading. It's coming out of hiding, as much that was suppressed has been coming out. We have always been around and now we are open (no puns intended) and visible. Even had a triad (they called it a throuple) on House Hunters.

    Basic biology. Marriage does not guarantee the continuation of the human race. Sex between a male and female does. Procreation happens without marriage. Also if 5 to 10 percent of the population does not procreate, the species still survives by a healthy margin.

    That's an opinion and subjective values, not an objective fact.
