Between that, and the step of marriage being taken to lightly

wut

i thought the religious fundamentalist argued that marriage was intended to be a man and woman....

They do, but i dont think anyone here would

okay, well i agree on the access to those benefits. But i disagree on the all or nothing of some of those benefits.

i.e. A Las Vegas wedding should not end up with more benefits than couple who have lived together for twice the amount of time the other couple has even known each-other.

But you got to widen the 5th Amendment, that would enable a lot of corruption. You'd be able to have employees, officers even, within a company refusing to testify against the CEO for instance on Fifth Amendment grounds

L sorry about the poor grammar by the way, I'm using speech recognition.

how? is their official mailing address the CEO's house?

Somebody mentioned something about not having to testify against somebody you know

Imagine if the mafia were able to follow that.

Many cases are resolved purely on expert testimony that presents evidence rather than witness testimony

Though I admit I didn't fully think idea through

A lot of the problems I see today, come from people making changes for the greater good without thinking about the future.

currently you can refuse unless they subpoena

The 5th amendment protects you from subpoena though

exactly

I can't be subpoenaed and forced to testify in my own case, neither can my spouse.

I have the right to remain silent, are right under the Fifth Amendment, add a spouse maintains that same right.

and if the idea for that is that it is a shared life, which is why a spouse is protected, i think that should apply to anyone who is living a shared life with someone else, regardless of if they applied for that protection.

Lads are you talkimg about that new court ruling ?

We're going full Convention of states in here

I dont know where i stand on this tbh

baker can refuse service to anyone

Thats my gut reaction

Government should just be does not compute about anything marriage

But then you can make shops for certain race only too

easy, do you believe in a business right to refuse business, or in private property rights, or in the right to associate with anyone you choose, or in limiting government power? if the answer to any of those is true, this is not a bad thing

With the same asumption

Marriage should be secularized, and the religious right of marriage should be left to the church

Where I am: People shouldn't give a fuck and everyone that does is a little brainlet, but businesses can refuse to deal with people for any reason.

@zutt that means blacks can make black only stores, or *cough* cinimas *cough* can have girls only nights.

Yes

Exactly

it also means you have a right to your private property, and your labor.

Well i believe there are laws in place against discrimination in service industry no ?

I remember they had to call off women only cinema screening

For law issues in states no ?
