married couples just moved into the minority in the USA.
As of this year, most households are single people or unmarried people living together.
We’re trying to make marriage obsolete, so don’t get married.
What happened if it really does become obsolete?
Do you think people would just forget about marrige all together?
Will it be something that our kids, just read about in textbooks?
Will we still be able to even have kids if were not married?
But billy, we are the minority, we all ride unicycles the majority rides bikes.
Wow, I think that was almost a smart post for me.
Either way, this is a very important topic we should all discuss it!
What’s so bad about being a minority? Do they opress you if you’re married? What if you want to have children?
Personally, I blame the whole thing with ‘romance’ and ‘true love’ and such that’s popularized by the culture. Arranged marriage is generally a better system, as far as i’m concerned, but for some reason most Americans think it’s monstrous. (I find the version the Americans asked would prefer to be dysfunctional at best as a general rule, but nobody is asking me.)
BTM fails to mention that the same articles state the total number of married couples is higher than ever, and most Americans eventually marry.
Just a lot more alternatives out there.
Remember the good old days when Ozzie was just a good dad and not a crazed rock star?
I’m not going to get married anyway!
Most likely.
I’m with JusticeZero, pretty much. Romance is just a concept invented by the media to get people to think they’ll love you if you buy expensive things. And marriage, as we know it today, came right out of that notion!
My uncle and his wife aren’t married, legally, and they don’t buy expensive things for each other. They just live together because they love each other, which, to me, makes a lot more sense. I think gay people getting mad about not being allowed to be married is ridiculous, because nobody can stop you from loving who you want. They’re just mad that they aren’t allowed to sign a legal document saying that they live together, but if you’re in love, then a silly piece of paper shouldn’t matter.
that’s all I have to say about that.
But there are benefits to being married, like insurance and stuff.
Well, there are also some legal complications as to who gets the kids when you separate. If you’re not married I don’t think the father would have any legal right whatsoever.
Did anyone notice that Billy just posted this here and went away whistling?
I’m the trouble-starter. Punking instigator.
You say that like you expected anything different of him? Seems to fit his MO to a T.
MO? T? Enlighten me!
MO=modus operandi (I think…)
it means the typical action…he’s saying that’s what Billy normally does.
to a T is just an expression meaning ‘perfectly’
He’s pretty much saying “seems to match what he normally does perfectly”
Hmm, you’re pretty clever for a monkey! Where did you dig all that out?
.
Judging by the vector, I’d say you got it from your spleen. Good job!
That would require a willing prospect.
I am planning to get married.
I haven’t even thought about any bonuses that come when getting married, they haven’t even crossed my mind, not until reading about it a few posts up, but I am still not gonna get married because of those little benefits.
When I get married it will because I have found the one person who I truly love and want to spend my whole life with, through everything, good or bad, anything, and she will love me just as much as I do her. That’s when I will get married.
What is that thing on the neck?
I don’t understand that reasoning. Have you had such a messed up life to think that way? So are you telling me that if the mother happens to form an addiction to drugs and doesn’t take care of her kids that the father should not have any leagal right for the kids? And someone said something about arranged marriage. That’s about the most stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of. I would imagine it would be nice if by some strange coincidence the two of you naturally fall in love. But by no means would I want an arrangement made for me to marry someone I do not have any feelings for.
Mmmmm, cauliflower.
I do believe he said ‘would’, not ‘should’. You can’t deny that if a NORMAL couple with kids separate, the mother almost always gets custody.
It’s where the real brain is…durh.
I’m not saying he shouldn’t, I’m saying he wouldn’t. Learn to read, genius.
