Reheat Sloppy Joe in a pita is surprisingly... not sloppy. And really tasty. Deep thought of the day: If a Sloppy Joe isn't sloppy, is it still a Sloppy Joe? Or is it just a Joe? Or is it a Tidy Joe?
 
I'm debating gay marriage with somebody and they keep bringing up the slippery slope theory in regards to polygamy and I'm not sure how to counter it.
 
[quote name='AngellicLulu']Just for those who care, I'm alive, just really stressed.

I am the science contact for my school which means I have to run anything science related and help everyone with their science needs, not to mention go to monthly meetings.

I am also training the new gifted teacher. She isn't a quick learner.

What's wrong with polygamy if everyone involved is an adult and consenting?
 
I can't believe they made a full band set for Band Hero.

The amount of plastic instrument games at the local Best Buy is getting ridiculous, as they don't have places to put them and just have them in aisles.

The union of two people, regardless of sex/sexual orientation, is still the union of two people? If people want to be polygamists, that's their prerogative, but only the first spouse should be entitled to special rights such as taxation, health insurance, etc.

Temp could ask the guy the same thing, but swap out "polygamy" for "monogamy".

Hence, slippery slope.

Just tell that guy he's an idiot, and that sexuality / relationships aren't dictated by some sort of universal logic.

I personally don't have a problem with it, but in my mind, gay marriage isn't a burden to anymore while a polygamist marriage could pose a potential problem financially.

Lets say a guy has five wives and each wife has four kids. If we legitimize that marriage, than all 21 people could be covered under the one man's health insurance. Since employers pay a portion of these health benefits, it could be a huge burden to small and even mid-sized businesses.
 
I have a friend who once told me that allowing gay people to marry would lead to people marrying their pets. I thought he was joking at the time, but i don't think so now.
 
I bet your same friend watches Glenn Beck, every night, and trembles in irrational fear.
 
I know he loves Bill O'Reilly. He usedto bring up religion and stuff a lot, i think he finally got the hint that i wasn't interested in it. He's fine so long as he doesn't start in with that shit.
 
I mean damn, look at some of this shit.

Its not really religion only ITS ABOUT VALUES, DECENCY
MORALITY AND COMMON SENSE. WHICH OF THOSE
DID YOUR FATHER/MOTHER/PRIEST/PASTOR NOT TEACH U

great for maine. the gays live style is not enforceable and if thye choose to live like that ok. however a marriage is between man and woman. period. there is no discrimination when the gays claim they should be allowed to marry and the laws of nature say no. go live your life but do not enforce your wishes on the majority. you do not compare to the african american ordeal either. if they allow gays to marry than why not have two wifes or two husbands. I love them and they love me but that is discriminator also.

This. Also, there have been studies about polygamy and in many cases there is some sort of emotional or physical abuse or control involved. Not saying that there aren't some (or even many) cases where that isn't true, it's just that it tends to be a higher percent than 2-person relationships.
 
I'd really like to see if there is a connection between a person's level of education and their opinion on gay marriage. Because after reading that shit, i'm pretty sure there is.
 
[quote name='Chika']god fucking damn it. I got a total of like 10 minutes in the tub. As soon as I get in the tub, the house phone starts ringing nonstop. After calling back like 3 times, they finally stopped calling and then Peanut starts jumping on the edge of the tub and crying. I tried to get her dumb ass outside right before I got in the tub but she was to fucking lazy and didn't want to go out. Of course, 5 minutes into the bath she decides she can't hold it any more. By the time I get dried off enough to let her out, I hear my cell buzzing and I've got 3 voice mails. I listen to them, call back the most important one, and Frosty gets home. No relaxing bath for Chika tonight.[/QUOTE]
My thing is like the phone ringing nonstop when I lay down to take a nap. It's never for me either.

Sometimes I wish I lived alone so I could sleep in peace. But the extra 500 a month is nice.
 
Not quite related, but i can't help it.

Pat Robertson, 1982
In May 1980, televangelist and Christian Coalition founder Pat Robertson startled and alarmed many when - contrary to Matthew 24:36 ("No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven...") he informed his "700 Club" TV show audience around the world that he knew when the world would end. "I guarantee you by the end of 1982 there is going to be a judgment on the world," Robertson said.

Just one of the insane things that ol' Pat has said through the years.

God fucking Damn Yankees. I don't want to stay up and watch them win the title. I don't want to watch either fucking team but I haven't not watch a clinching game since I can remember. That might in with this garbage.
 
[quote name='flowery']Well if the Yankees do win at least Phillies fans wont be as bad as Red Sox fans are/were after 2004.[/QUOTE]

I wouldn't be surprised if the whole of philly drove to NYC and burned it down.

I, for one, welcome our new cheesesteak-eating overlords.
