Saw this elsewhere.

Like to add bit of humour to the pot.....
Good morning. We want to apply for a marriage license."
"Names?", said the clerk.
"Tim and Jim Jones."
"Jones?? Are you related?? I see a resemblance."
"Yes, we're brothers."
"Brothers?? You can't get married."
"Why not?? Aren't you giving marriage licenses to same gender couples?"
"Yes, thousands. But we haven't had any siblings. That's incest!"
"Incest?" No, and we are not gay."
"Not gay?? Then why do you want to get married?"
"For the financial benefits, of course. And we do love each other. Besides, we don't have any other prospects."
"But we're issuing marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples who've claim they'd been denied equal protection under law.
If you are not gay, you can get married to a woman."
"Wait a minute. A gay man has the same right to marry a woman as I have.
But just because I'm straight doesn't mean I want to marry a woman. I want to marry Jim."
"And I want to marry Tim, Are you going to discriminate against us just because we are not gay?"
"All right, all right. I'll give you your license. Next."
"Hi. We are here to get married."
"Names?"
"John Smith, Jane James, Robert Green, and June Johnson."
"Who wants to marry whom?"
"We all want to marry each other."
"But there are four of you!"
"That's right. You see, we're all bisexual. I love Jane and Robert, Jane loves me and June, June loves Robert and Jane, and Robert loves June and me. All of us getting married together is the only way that we can express our sexual preferences in a marital relationship."
"But we've only been granting licenses to gay and lesbian couples."
"So, you're discriminating against bisexuals!"
"No, the traditional idea of marriage is that it's just for couples."
"Since when are you standing on tradition?"
"Well, I mean, you have to draw the line somewhere."
"Who says?? There's no logical reason to limit marriage to couples. The more the better. Besides, we demand our rights! The mayor says the constitution guarantees equal protection under the law.’
"All right, all right. Next."
"Hello, I'd like a marriage license."
"In what names?"
"David Anderson."
"And the other man?"
"That's all. I want to marry myself."
"Marry yourself?? What do you mean?"
"Well, my psychiatrist says I have a dual personality, so I want to marry the two together.
Maybe I can file a joint income-tax return."
"That does it!? I quit!!? You people are making a mockery of marriage!!"

"Bookies’ odds have the “Yes” and “No” vote at line-ball with the “No” vote continuing to attract the bigger money. The penny has finally dropped, even with my kids, who naturally thought “Yes” was the only way to go. But that’s when they figured, like most Australians, they would be voting on “Marriage Equality”.


"Yep, it’s the same old GetUp-paid uglies blocking the same dirty Melbourne streets with the same dishonest placards. The same old loony Left ABC presenters interviewing the same old ex-uni Marxists, the same tired old Fairfax scribblers etching the same old fatuous fiats copied from the same old Pommy Left, The Guardian".

There's one flaw in your logic, Caveman

Marriage is between 2 consenting adults.

Been reading your posts (made while I was away at the pleasure of a GMod who does not know how to read Rules) on this, and I like your compromise position, but there is no way the religious heteros will go for it.

And that is a quarter "truth" which is usual fare around these parts.  I'll say a bit more later about that in Relationships.

I have finally received the letters to vote, there are 3 adults in our home, and looking at the letters, notice it says if you pick both yes and no, or nothing, or if the bar code is wrecked in some way, makes the vote void.

The bar code?

Had a look, and guess what, all three of our letters, addressed to us personally, have different bar code numbers.

I don't think this vote is private or anonymous at all  Undecided

Honestly, what's with the barcode with different identifying numbers, any answer?
