Sorry for your luck.

Better fix that.

Before you fracture the party, then.

Lol

Correct marriage is a part of society, not governance. It is not within the purview of government. There is no governing purpose to a marriage license.

I think the rationale behind marriage laws are about taxes

or lose the Senate?

Claiming exemptions, etc

Or lose the everything.

Self inflicted. @meglide

And let the "communists" get their way with everything.

The secular purpose to marriage is to benefit society.
That rape is a form of assault does not mean that it's not *also* an interpersonal relationship, which you said should not be regulated. It seems that you think *some* interpersonal relationships should be regulated, but not others.

That'll show em.

Marriage existed well before taxes.

Yeah but the american government wasn't regulating marriage before taxes

You'll give them their cake and let them eat it too, how polite.

That's fair.

Somehow it becomes a major political platform while more pressing subversion goes unnoticed via slight of hand. Why they chose to distract, demoralize and inflame us with such nonsense is completely a dead fish

I'm not saying I agree with it, it just seems to me that's the reason the government cares

Yes. Being mugged for money does not cause one to have an interpersonal relationship with the mugger. Being raped does not cause one to have an interpersonal relationship with the rapist. One may be raped or mugged by someone with whom they have an interpersonal relationship. But that is not the defining factor of the action.

No, but it's not just the American government that does. Most if not all governments do, because it's such a fundamental part of society.

Who cares about other governments

To be fair, it was defined as not within the purview of government. So, case closed, I reckon.

All licenses, fees, fines, and taxes are taxes, under law.

If two people are interacting, I'd call that an interpersonal relationship. What's your definition?

People who are attempting to establish if one particular one is somehow at odds with reality.

What you are calling an interpersonal relationship is an encounter. Interpersonal relationships require level 3 communications, not level 1.

Rape is wrong for the same reason taxes are wrong, using violence to take what you want without consent is wrong

@The Mongler, you just advanced to level 7!

We also know that ballot stuffing and absentee ballots have been marred with fraud for years. If the tables were turned, I would be outraged for any candidate but we are talking an American President. Sullied, permnant

I've spent the last 4 years hearing the same people saying there's nothing wrong with this election lose their minds about russian facebook memes

Trump wins = Faith restored?

What is "level 3 communication"? And would your definition thereby exclude frequent rape of the same person?

I'm not disputing that it's wrong.

Trump wins equal the colonization of our nation by the PRC begins to be redressed.

Chattel through the chapel

Most of us would be happy with an honest audit, an honest hearing in court, etc, and if all of these irregularities can be verified leading to biden being the winner we're okay with that

It's the fraud we take umbrage with, not the winner

Hmmmm. I knew there would be different conversations in here than anywhere else, but I did not expect to enter on a debate about rape.

NIfty phrases can be fun, but wrong. As in this case.
