oh, who the hell cares about that?

Gay people and anyone who believes gay people should have the same rights as any other United States citizen?

Gay people do have the same rights as any other US citizen

No, we don't. I can't take my partner, go downtown and get a marriage license, fill it out and do whatever is required like blood tests, etc, mail it in and be married. Since I can't do those, I am not able to exercise any of the 1,100-plus rights and privileges that pertain to being "married" in the eyes of the givernment.

But you can with a partner of a difference sex, just like any other american

When you are saying this, you are saying freedom is contingent on being something you aren't.

I dont think the stat is quite that high. Marriage can be good, people just need to be more sure about who they marry.

i so dont want to get married

Me neither. It can restrict you so much!

Sadly, lots of girls in my school have this idea that that's what life is. Growing up, getting married and having kids.

I don't see any point in getting married. I know I would get bored and I'd never truly understand my spouse. Unless I'd been married for 80 years (hell), by which time I would have murdered them anyway.

I don't think we are meant to have just one person in our lives that we love in this special way (that these girls also believed in.) It's not true.

Yes, I know I sound cynical. But I'm just being realistic. People here are clever, you understand xd

[Lexia_Starr]

These cynics are freaking me the hell out.

Marriage is not about love these days. Marriage is a business and an avenue for individuals to have as much uninhibited, mindless sex as they want.

What do you think marriage is?
The business aspect. So many things are dependant upon financial situations when people get married. In fact, when you look at divorce, majority of the reasons the marriage doesn't work out is because of financial issues. In couples that do stay together, they account for the majority of the issues they may have during their marriage. Most couples, and these are the smart ones, will go over finances before they get married. Other couples will hold off on getting married if one of them has an outstanding amount of debts. If the couple can benefit from getting married (shares expenses, tax breaks, and deals on joint assets) then they sign their marriage contract (or business deal). Why do you think there are prenuptuals?

The sex part. We are of the pleasure age. Sexual liberation and experimentation is normal. There are swingers clubs and all kinds of sexual enhancement programs for married couples. I'm not sure about you, but I plan on having as much sex as possible when married. I think protected sex outside of marriage is fine, but being married takes away the negative stigmas associated with highly sexed libidos. If I want to lock myself up in my home with my husband one night and screw him til dinner the next day, no one would question. However, unmarries people who engage in the same activities are labeled whore and sluts. Also, having to worry about the safety of your partner and the longevity of your relationship would be out the window. Therefore, marriage = sexual liberation.

Will you get married?
Of course, I like sex and money just like everyone else.

Do you belief marriage is required before you loose your virginity?
Not at all. As long as you make a knowledgeable and responsible decision. Get tested and wear protection!

I have honestly never heard of people getting married in order to be a skank. I've heard of nymphos having to deal with getting married, but never getting married to be a slut.

I don't really get marriage. All you do is say "I do." It's a complete rip to me. So I'm more than likely never getting married.

I don't get this, either. How is a vow exchange "a complete rip"? What is it "rip"ping? It's one thing to say you don't believe in marriage, but this just doesn't make any sense.

I don't really see how this is not pure cynicism. Maybe you beleive for your personal life that you could never be with one person. However, hundreds of people seem to manage to never feel restricted by marriage. And I'm sorry if you've not realized this, but you get married when you love, know and deeply understand the other person. How can you say for certain at this point in your life that you could never understand another person?

I mean the way their brrrain works.

Sad that you think I'm cynical.

I understand what you're saying and I though it too. I knew someone wouldn't agree.

Those hundreds of people have grown up in a culture (right word? I'm not English,) where there is a history of lurve and marriage being the done thing. And one believes it. Of course they do. They're known it all their lives. But it has been put in our heads.

Some people really do find this though, its not all false. I've been with the same person for 3 years now, and we do plan on marrying eventually.

Yes too many people feel they have to get married and so rush into it too quickly and the marriages dont work out. But it is possible to find the right person if you are patient. Marriage isnt all a bad thing as you make it sound.

[Tokimons]

Being that I'm not religious, but do believe in committing yourself to the one you love, I'm not sure where I stand. I would never wed under "the eyes of God," but purely as a sign of commitment and loyalty to the one I'd choose to marry. At the same time, I don't know if I want to get married at all. I feel as though I don't need a piece of paper to tell me I'm committed to somebody; if I know it in my heart, that should be all that matters.
So generally, I'm undecided.

[romzisglam]

By the way, don't want you thinking I don't believe in any sort of love or anything like that.

I just don't like (quote what...sexieveggiegirl? said) the way that people rush into it and come out with really sad s**t about the whole thing. Becuase they are boring after a while.

Actually sexieveggiegirl (thanks for not being rude about my beliefs) said it right. I believe that if one doesn't actually think of the person as a friend as well as a lover then your relationship is like the one I described. Sorry, I was just betting that your relationship was like your bf is a pal as well as...sorry.

About the understanding thingy - I understand my girlfriends all the time. But sometimes I really wonder what's going on in the minds of some of my male friends...

You're right, I consider him my best friend as well. That is really the most important part of the relationship if you want to get married, because all the excitement and romance wears off after a while.

[monoo]

What do you think marriage is? A bond between two lovers.
Will you get married?That's the plan.

Do you belief marriage is required before you loose your virginity?Wahahahah. No. I wouldn't marry someone based on being horny.

So then you're saying that all men are exactly the same and you could never understand any male no matter what? Seems pretty sexist to me.

that's crap. whatever you do, don't marry your best friend.
marry in love and for love.

[giraffeJoker]

I don't believe in marriage. At all.

It's just a way to waste tons of money to prove something you already know: That you love eachother.
