RE: Marriage
Lmfao - are you at least portraying that you don't believe me? Tongue LMAO

I know the expression 'love is in the air' is not literal and i know that know-it-all means like smart-arse smart-ass or smartypants, etc lol.

I know that lol....

*predicts Leo's response*: "Sure you do (!)" lol Tongue

RE: Marriage
Interesting debate...

Some comments and questions:

1: What do you mean by 'love is spontaneous', EvF?

2: This debate seems to be singularly concerned with monogamy, although that is an ignorance of emotional relationship. Am i correct in assuming that these physical or logical partnerships ('marriages') are concerned with monogamy alone?

3: I have identified three kinds of relationships, organizable in three seperate ways. These three relationship types are:
Physical, (eg. Property based, Appearance based. Love is not a physical quality.)
Emotional, (eg. Emotion based, Friendship based. Love is purely emotional.)
and Logical. (eg. Politically based, Logically based. Love is not a logical quality.)

These three organizations are:
Monogamy, (Usually a primarily physically based relationship. Focus on one, therefore ignorance of love.
Polygamy, (Usually a primarily physically/logically based relationship. No single focus, therefore does not ignore love... but is a physical/logical relationship in our ignorent world.
and Autogamy. (Usually a logically based relationship. Cynical focus on self, therefore extreme ignorance of love.

Emotional Polygamy is the single relationship type where love is not ignored due to commitment.

4: With a population CRISIS looming over our global civilization.... HOW can having MORE children be a good thing?!

By 'love is spontaneous' I mean it is a feeling that is actually there in the moment not something that you can deliberately manufacture from 'commitment' IMO.

I agree in that love is entirely emotional - I also think that.

RE: Marriage
Anyway, I identify all pseudo-loves correctly as dung. Marriage, being a pseudo-love, is dung. The longer one waits to remove dung from their body, the more it hurts to remove it. Hence, marriage should be removed ASAP.

That is my take on marriage anyway Smile

RE: Marriage
I never plan to get married. It's superficial bollocks IMO and not at all worthy of actual love. It's simply superficial icing that can at least partly spoil an otherwise beautiful cake. It is dung as you put it lol IMO (too).

Exactly what I also think. Totally unnessessary thing to do! We think very much alike on this matter.

So besserwisse isn't used in english? Some part of me knew that, but I think that is a name that suits you, but it's not in a cruel sarcastic way. See it as nickname meant with loveTongue

Lol Giff Tongue

I like any name whether positive or 'offensive' so long as it's genuine. I hate it when people PRETEND I'm interesting or PRETEND to like me. If they dislike me and they SAY so that's fair enough. If they pretend to like me that just wastes my time, is dishonest and can be fucking irritating. It ends up being like "You could have just SAID! You could have just TOLD me to f*ck off FFS. Postponing it for a later date is irritating, time-wasting and a bit dishonest. Pffft."

I fully ENCOURAGE opinions of me whether positive or negative! So long as they are genuine I don't mind.
