I do believe human trafficking would come to a complete, utter, sticky halt. That's pretty much it, though. I probably wouldn't even harm anyone involved... just repair damages, and employ copious teleportation for when people are being horribly abused. Maybe slap them (traffickerz) on the wrist. Guess that's one way to keep one's hands full for a long long time  (November 14, 2013 at 5:39 pm)kılıç_mehmet Wrote: That's what I can't really make these people understand. I'm not against people loving eachother. However marriage isn't something that is built on love, no it really is not, and never was. You don't need marriage to be in love, neither do you need love to get married. I value marriage for practical applications of it... financial, political, and social reasons  I'm incredibly against a legally binding statement based on emotion (alone). All sorts of game for them to have a good time without being ridiculous, though

Marriage is not based on love but I've yet to find two people who ever wanted to marry (in a voluntary situation) without it.
All gay couples want is equality. If straight couple want marriage, gay couples should get the same rights. ![[Image: 0f5x.png]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=imageshack.us%2Fa%2Fimg716%2F2885%2F0f5x.png) RE: Illinois to become 15th state to recognize marriage equality

Same idea. Quote:All gay couples want is equality. If straight couple want marriage, gay couples should get the same rights. Odd. Here I just wanted the legal benefits of marriage (mostly the whole, 'if she's in hospital, they let me be there for her' bit). I don't give a rat's left pinky toe about it for reasons of 'equality' XD If there were no specific legal/financial benefits to be gained by marriage: I can't see a damn reason to do it. Ps: that's one 'gay couple' that wants something entirely unrelated to equality XD Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam

You're right, I shouldn't have assumed you were Christian. It was an honest assumption as I have only come across Christian opposition to this issue. You have taught me a lesson.

That is equality. This couple gets to be in the hospital, this other doesn't because they're gay. It's a connected issue.

Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
