Late night musings about same sex marriage.

You are right, I am through with arguing at this stage of life. I knew you were not being sarcastic as you are not that kind of person and I have great respect for you and all you have accomplished in your life and career (((911))). Pardon me if I get "het" up. I admit this subject is my trigger. Hope you took no offense in my comments either.

I appreciate your willingness to allow both of us to walk away and still be friendly to one another. Not everyone can do that.

The exact word the SC cited was Roe was "Overruled". But it has the exact legal meaning as "Overturned".

Yes, I've mulled that over, and wondered if the wording changes the meaning of the outcome. I don't see why it would.
 
It would seem that most of the more 'liberal' countries and richer perhaps and learning towards christianity have become more accepting of same sex everything where is the less liberal ; poorer countries and often Islamic still do not accept.
 
Well. This has certainly turned into an interesting thread. :D
For myself if this is possible, I consider it to be a good thing. But I can only speak for me.
Im a retired engineer and I waited till 70 to take my SS. Everything is paid off and I spend nothing.

In my case I would have to conjure up somebody since Ive outlived all the friends and relatives including the husband.
And I have no kids or siblings. Most of my estate is going to a scholarship fund. But I could pass on my SS and I have excellent insurance. :D

If you were to marry a friend etc who would even know if they were gay or straight. There is such a thing as roommates.
Heck you dont even have to live together. And a church service isnt mandatory. Only that paper from the courthouse.
I dont know about other people but I have no idea if people are gay or straight unless they tell me. Nor do I care.
I suppose if they were really hotz and if I was considering dating I might care. But right now I dont. :D

Seadoug correct me if I am wrong - I took him to be saying he can't imagine 2 straight people of same sex pretending to be in a gay marriage ( as per OP's question), showing that level of dedication.
Not that he can't imagine 2 straight people in a genuine straight man and woman marriage doing so.,

Thank you. That is precisely what I meant. Two straight women or two straight men having the level of dedication to pretend to be gay and get married. I have a friend who has two straight female friends that she is so close to they once considered buying properties together to take care of one another as they got older. But they would have never gone so far as to get married.

I know there are many straight marriages (woman and man) that are very strong and where each spouse would do anything for the other. I wouldn't be so stupid as to suggest otherwise @Pepper and @Twostep.
 
there are many straight [?] guys who were friends that I could have easily lived with but no sex and I am sure its the same with females - there must be a scientific name for it but I just call it "mateship" or whatever??

It must be hormonal surely ? - isn't there a tab that will fix it?
Pepper said:
Disgusting remark. Not calling you disgusting, but disgusting remark. BTW, are you also @Joey and one other guy whose name I forgot? The three of you sound exactly the same, all the time. J'accuse

Pepper - clearly smiley's comments fall into the troll category. I suspect he/she is just looking to start some sort of conflict. I won't comment on his drivel again, it would be a waste of time.
 
I was in a forum once that embraced trolls who got away with the most disgusting and offensive comments ever. Forum rules did not allow trolling, but trolls could troll all day just as long as they didn't say they were a troll. Occasionally, they would proudly admit they were trolls, and only then were they banned.
 
I still see a "marriage" between two of the same gender only as a Civil Union.
