Didn't realize I was married to the guy who I hired to do some work on my front yard, as I signed a contractual agreement with him. I better be careful of entering into contractual agreements from now on!

Really, just ask the "progressives" how they want it defined at the moment.

Are we talking about Caesar's Law here or are we talking about religion? Apples and Oranges.

You said a contractual agreement. I just went with how you defined marriage. Feel free to revise it if you wish.

FYI

I never said all contracts are marriages. Reading 101.

All you said is it's a contractual agreement. Feel free to provide further definition. I realize you were just being lazy and not providing a substantive definition. Just poking a bit of fun at it.

Actually that's what he posted. Not that such a fact will stop the "nit-picking trolls".

He said a marriage should be a contractual agreement. Not that a contractual agreement should be a marriage.

Those two sentences mean two very distinct things. You understand that, right?

At the State level that's pretty much all it is. If you want a religious definition I'm not going to give one cause there are thousands of religions out there.

You're adding words he didn't post. His exact words were "A contractual agreement between two people." Again, he's freed to edit it to something different, but he didn't post what you say he did. Or maybe you can see some invisible letters that aren't showing up on my screen? :rolleyes:

I was very deliberate and terse in my definition for good reason. Your protest more than justifies what I posted.

So are you being purposefully obtuse because your joke wasn't as funny as you wanted or are you really this slow?

You add words to change the meaning of what he posted, while I comment on what was actually posted and I'm obtuse? :eek:

The question "Can somebody tell me what is the current definition of marriage?"
The answer "a contractual agreement between two people"

I don't see where he states that signing a contract with anyone constitutes a marriage, but I do see that he's saying that marriage is really nothing more than a contract between two people. Again, those are two different and distinct things. Much as how a square is a quadrilateral, but a quadrilateral isn't necessarily a square.

Double plus ungood. Older bro locking up hot young sis is bad for business. The whole point of 18 (well, 13) year old girls is to sell them to the gross, old landowner in the next valley, to increase your holdings and prevent fighting. If you smoke your own stash, you lose your bargaining chips and everybody winds up getting killed off in feuds.

Just think of the South without a civilized (i.e., northern) legal system: daughters are objects to buy stuff with; sons are weapons to steal the stuff of people who don't trade with you.
