And I think you need to brush up on your history. I take it you belong to those people who prefer trial by battle, so that the local knight and rape your wife, kill your son and when you accuse him of said deeds before his lord, kill you for good riddance, proving his “innocence”?

After watching the commercial first and then the complaint, I hate to agree but, yeah, that’s some anti-Catholic imagery there. Focusing on a church ruin while saying, “It’s a shadow of a country we hope we left behind,”.......yeah, that’s not subtle at all.

Definitely he did a shit thing. But I question the wisdom in general (not specific to this case) of having formal lifelong consequences for actions undertaken at age 19, considering the consensus scientific understanding that mental maturity, such as it is, typically arrives around 25.

... the OP didn’t go after the PEOPLE. the OP went after an idea. It’s funny that your reply was almost an exact parroting of my initial argument. The criticism is an IDEOLOGICAL one, not an attack on people. Also, “Muslim” and “Buddhist” are not races. You’re conflating relgion—a MUTABLE characteristic—with…

So if an atrocity is commited against a group, that group is then sacroscanct?

You’re a imbecile. Bigotry is bigotry.

As opposed to whom? All of fucking California and Colorado? I believe they have a large number of yuppie atheists who believe that vaccines are “poison.”

I don’t know. I’m suggesting the put them all in both fields and let parties circle. So I don’t know why that’s so hard for them other than bigotry.

Great. Get to work on making all those things not tied to marriage and once you’re done we’ll talk about getting rid of licenses.

I would argue you should join the reality-based community where they absolutely do.

I get it—some people really like the idea of a marriage license that is traditional and says bride and groom. Why not? I’m totally fine with the idea of different forms for different couples.

Yes.

It’s nowhere near ideal that giant corporations hold such enormous swayover American politics. But in this particular area, it looks like that influence might prove advantageous for the planet.

I stand corrected. You’re the picture of mental health because you devoted part of your weekend to flipping your shit over a chair.

It’s interesting that boys don’t get time-outs for not listening

Congratulations on the dumbest fucking post Jezebel has hosted this year.

So right, I mean, it’s not like a murder victim suffers any consequences that they can consciously recall, you know, on account of being dead and all?

Missionary.

Don’t think that applies to your own fucking wedding, considering your opinions are pretty relevant to your own fucking wedding.

Mansplaining, duh.
