You could say the same about gay marriage.

Yuppers. And yet...

Pulling from another thread on here, is a normal marriage where there is a wealthy fat bald man and a women one half his age? Is that an equal dynamic?

You can't rewrite what has already been rewritten.

All about the 'feels'.

And the children? Not your problem?

Then why is it republicans are responsible for every unwanted child out there?

Assuming that the consenting adults are consenting and adults, it would involve rewriting the tax code, inheritance laws, all sorts of benefits, welfare, etc. And economically, it doesn't really make sense.

I do think we should clarify that you won't be prosecuted if a legally married couple live with one or more others. However, they can still be prosecuted for welfare or tax fraud. Or child sex crimes.

As a divorced parent of 3 kids, I would like to marry my kids so when I sell my house instead of the 250k tax exemption, I could get 500k or if i married them all at once a million!

I don't have to approve of what consenting adults are up to. You want to marry 1 person or 2 people or a person of the same gender, go for it, not my problem.

Legally, the precedent is set.

Get out your slip n' slide!

I have to say, if you want the government out of marriage, the government should get out of marriage. Huge problems though when it comes to workplace benefits

Slippery slope argument...sigh...
