I think same-sex couple who ensure that their kids have wholesome interaction with members of the unrepresented sex do pretty well

2018-11-21 01:36:15 UTC  

Then again, I'm biased

2018-11-21 01:36:24 UTC  

ideally the federal income tax burden would shrink and the state tax burden would increase to take up the slack. then if the state wants to give benefits, that's their business.

2018-11-21 01:36:32 UTC  

But I've seen plenty of others who follow the same model we do and they all seem to have happy families

2018-11-21 01:36:38 UTC  

and this is something most people just don't understand
pull tax records on the homes in San Francisco's Castro district
a lot of those properties pay next to nothing because ownership has been passed from spouse to spouse
and the taxable value is set on transfer

2018-11-21 01:36:51 UTC  

@DrYuriMom I agree, the thing is, a high number of same-sex couples are deviants

2018-11-21 01:37:07 UTC  

I mean, they promote a lot of weird things

2018-11-21 01:37:17 UTC  

The 10th Amendment embers of my heart burn for you, Atkins 😽

2018-11-21 01:37:34 UTC  

so, from a statistical point of view, it's not a net positive to society

2018-11-21 01:37:34 UTC  

So do hetero couples

2018-11-21 01:37:45 UTC  

I don't think there's been enough time to say that same-sex marriages are actually positive for family structures. Especially when those family structures have been based on a culture that uses male/female forever.

2018-11-21 01:37:52 UTC  

Scientifically

2018-11-21 01:37:58 UTC  

I'm doing grand jury duty right now. Lots of hetero couples are screwed up.

2018-11-21 01:38:01 UTC  

If you want to talk about data

2018-11-21 01:38:31 UTC  

Just like Peterson talks about men and women in the workplace, there just hasn't been enough time devoted to the experiment.

2018-11-21 01:38:31 UTC  

@DrYuriMom the left screwed with family values

2018-11-21 01:38:40 UTC  

so that argument isn't really strong

2018-11-21 01:38:49 UTC  

well, if you listen to haidt or peterson they'd say that people on the right tend to have strong disgust reactions. i'd say that a lot of right-wing types get squicked out pretty hard by the antics at gay pride parades.

2018-11-21 01:38:55 UTC  

But are gays left?

2018-11-21 01:38:56 UTC  

But with that said, I'm not saying you don't deserve a family and love. It just might not work out

2018-11-21 01:39:10 UTC  

Or is "left' an economic thing?

2018-11-21 01:39:28 UTC  

the left thinks they OWN all the gays votes

2018-11-21 01:40:29 UTC  

People keep calling me an outlier, but I will keep saying I get rather peeved when people call *me* the destruction of the family when I've been married faithfully for 29 years and have two wonderful kids, 17yo and 19yo. I get that from divorcees. They can pound sand as far as I'm concerned.

2018-11-21 01:41:21 UTC  

The destruction of the family are stupid irresponsible teenagers who have kids in high school and get married as soon as they're 18

2018-11-21 01:41:37 UTC  

I got married at 19yo. Still married to this day. 😃

2018-11-21 01:42:10 UTC  

Atkins, I agree about the Pride Parade stuff. It squicks me out. 😕

2018-11-21 01:42:19 UTC  

Keywords "stupid irresponsible"

2018-11-21 01:42:28 UTC  

^^Fair enough

2018-11-21 01:42:41 UTC  

There are certainly fringe cases of responsible intelligent teens finding their partners

2018-11-21 01:42:51 UTC  

I suppose the real topic for you Cat is what your background/family is which isnt a conversation for here lol. but you might've had a pretty healthy upbringing or are the most patient person on the planet to last in marriage that long

2018-11-21 01:42:56 UTC  

>The destruction of the family are stupid irresponsible teenagers who have kids in high school and get married as soon as they're 18
The other way around

2018-11-21 01:43:03 UTC  

And I'm happy for you being one of them. Just means you get to spend more time with wonderful peoolet

2018-11-21 01:43:25 UTC  

there's data on this. People that sleep around more tend to divorce at much higher rates

2018-11-21 01:43:28 UTC  

Most people that developed under the boomer parent revolution ended up fucked, and it isn't getting any better

2018-11-21 01:43:31 UTC  

I owe my parents everything and have an amazing dad...even if he's somewhat to the left of Karl Marx. 😦

2018-11-21 01:43:41 UTC  

lol

2018-11-21 01:44:12 UTC  

Agreed, Belial. "Open relationships" are toxic waste for long term marriages.

2018-11-21 01:44:43 UTC  

My wife and I have been 100% faithful since we started really dating in 1989.

2018-11-21 01:46:06 UTC  

And you've avoided lbd? :P

2018-11-21 01:46:20 UTC  

Anyway, we'll see how data comes in over time. but having spent time with many couples in many places of this country, it doesn't matter what sex the partners are but rather their stubbornness to make it work that really matters.

2018-11-21 01:46:27 UTC  

lbd?
