"Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" is one of the most famous phrases in the United States Declaration of Independence.


Sooooooooo which one carries more weight our Declaration of Independence or our Marriage Vows...Which may be restricting your life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.........????.....hahaha

hahahaha

What do ya think???

interesting indeed

I say pursuit of happyness, and as long as there are liberals running amuck humping you children, stealing my stuff, and smoking a crackpipe.. we will never be happy..

If only we were all more like Deano..

Has anyone ever noticed that whenever someone brainlessly rails about how they hate liberals, it always sounds like it came right out of the protocals of the elders of zion only with the word Jew changed to liberal?
Anyway, I don't really see a relation between marriage vows and allegiance to your country so i don't really know what your asking Debbs

I think that's both ironic and hypocritical you should say that, considering it's liberals who are infact anti-semetic and have some sortof beef with Isral..

She is asking whether or not a restriction of homosexual marriage is infringing upon the people's right to "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

I'm saying we are given many freedoms in this country, which is mentioned in the Declaration of Independence, and do Marriage vows go directly against them........Making you suffer for ever and ever and ever.....hahahaha...Though this is a little tongue and cheek, but still do they?

Oops... well anyway in answer to your question I say no they don't.

Given that the Powers-That-Be want to increasingly drive home the illusion that our society and life are One Big Party, being married could certainly be seen as "being in the way" of joining all that make-believe.

Flexibility in a marriage is essential, but we could rationalize away any restrictions, any responsibility, if we really tried. There are a lot of people who already do.

I read the link.............Debbiejo are you married or thinking about getting married?

.........no

you are so obtuse No marriage isn't against our declaration.

Excellent.

Even with all the suffering for ever and ever and ever, with no escape...?? That sounds like it's going against my rights as a citizen..haha ....What ever happened to Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"???

Don't give the liberals any ideas, they'll want to sue the American goverment because they're depressed and that go's against the constitution of the pursuit of happyness..

And I could see that happening, despite how I think it's disturbing how we can actually sue our own goverment. That doesn't even make sense..

I don't know. I think it should be a balancing act.

actually the term has recently been changed to "sacrifice, obedience, and the pursuit of ter'rists"

I bet you are no fun at a party.

no double standards, if this is about gay marriage.

No one has any idea what Deb is talking about.

I certainly don't.

What?????..........It was perfectly clear too me.

I skim anything longer than a five word sentence on links as a general rule, unless there's nude pics- then I just don't even bother reading.

What was the thread about now?

It's not my job to educate you.........go back and read it........

Oh. Well, I could act like some moron and start babbling about the Lockean principles behind the Declaration of Independence, but instead I'll just get to the point- there's a damn good reason men give up a lot of comforts and rights for a marriage.

What?

I just think the question isn't phraised clearly. I mean, it's like if i started a thread stating "Which smells better, a comb or a hard day's work?"

OK.........maybe I think too abstract....I'll give it another try.

Marriage is for life, you can never get out, even if you're not happy....disrupting your pursuit of happiness....and according to the Dec. of Independence, we have a right to it, happiness that is.....So, is the law of the land higher, or the law of the church?

yeah, it's called divorce and anulment

Oh forget it.......The thread started off as a joke and now you all ruined it........... .........lol

Isn't it "convenient" that nature is mentoned in the opening lines of the declaration?

It's just too bad that the definition of "natural" has changed over time. Time, I might add that doesn't belong in the biblical world. Isn't "time" a liberal and precarious word?
