If I want, yes.

What business would it be of yours?

And you just proved our point, thanks.

So then your answer is, yes.

Question. Answer. Reason for answer. I think that's the basic elements of a discussion.

If we are talking simply about two people who agree from the beginning to have sex with other people, what the hell was this discussion about from the beginning?

It's become a statement, not a topic of discussion.

Why are you arguing with yourself?

I'm here all week, folks.

Topic: Should two mad people fight?

Premise: Both people are mad and both want to fight.

Answer: ... You really just asked that?

So what happened to your moral position on marriage?

"Open marriage" is not held to the same standard/guidelines/rules, apparently.

Sigh, I'm not doing this anymore.

You guys are incredible asses. 🙂

Or you'd rather debate a different question.

It's not even a question

Marriage is Marriage. Regardless if the spouses sleep with other people.

2) Define marriage outside religion, please. This should be funny.

3) Marriage is not secular.

2) 1. the social institution under which a man and woman establish their decision to live as husband and wife by legal commitments.

I'm pretty sure Bardock, like most anarchists, very much enjoys the benefits of law and order even though he's ideologically opposed to them.

Of course, I enjoy the benefits of everything. Doesn't mean that I wouldn't trade them for more benefits.

Well, while you're home watching football, I hope your wife is getting the ride of her life by her side man in his bed. Also, since you think laws suck, when you get splattered on the streets for speeding I hope you dont injure an innocent bystander and I hoep the ambulance take their time scraping you off the pavement.

Have fun in your lawless town.

I would. I somehow don't see blind respect for every authority as a good thing.

You know, Nazi Germany and the USSR had a shitload of laws, right?

Yeah.

Yeah sure. If they're both okay with it then why not?

I do not trust people like that - they will change the rules to suit their needs whenever it favors them.

Neither do I. I was watching some program concerniing this. This guy was saying that he loved this other women but he was going to marry this other women but screw them both at the same time ( no I mean at the same time in bed, not screw his wife and then go to her house and screw her).

You could clearly see that the other women (the one hes not going to marry) was upset. This guy was trying to feed her some bullshit that he still loved and trying to come off all sincere. It was just his excuse to have his cake and eat, also lukcily for him in swining circles men dont sleep with men but women sleep with women.

As for your opinion on this I kinda agree. Its just that I don't want to dictate to other people how they define love.

So now marriage is not even a vow of monogamy?
And don't give me this shit on how ONLY religion feels it's a vow of monogamy.

I am convinced that marriage is totally useless nowadays.
What benefits does marriage offer, really?

Anybody hitched here?

Marriage offers the chance to be with the one you love for the rest of your life and some very nice tax incentives. It doesn't require and most often functions better without the vow of sexual bordem.

A) You don't have to be married to stay with somebody for life. Old gay couples from the 50's that are still together today prove that.

B) Where do you get your fact that "It doesn't require and most often functions better without the vow of sexual boredom" from. That can't be proven. Why do you assume that all monogamous couples are sexually bored?

I never said all of them were, but myself and a large group of others don't find the idea of having boring mechanical sex with the same person day in and day out for the rest of our lives appealing.

And being married to someone doesn't have to mean you can't have sex with other people from time to time as long as both people in the relationship are fine with it.

Ok, ok, I get that monogamy isn't implied when speaking about marriage anymore. But I am asking what benefits marriage offers, besides tax breaks... I won't argue with anybody there. But given that 50% of marriages end in divorce... that probably gets cancelled out by legal fees anyways. What does marriage offer that merely dating someone for a long time does not?

By the way does this happen because there is something inherently wrong with marriage or is it people tend to insincere and lack commitment generally?

Why does it have to offer anything? People love each other and want to live together, they just from time to time want to have sex outside the marriage. They just want to be married, there is no reason they shouldn't be.
