MZ3Boy84 11-06-07, 11:15 AM If you could make one law and have it enforced for all of time, what would it be?
For me, I would make a law allowing same-sex couple to marry nationwide.
Nikelodeon 11-06-07, 11:16 AM I would have a law banning same-sex couples marrying nationwide.

A law that would prohibit further looting of the social security fund.

Eh... I don't support the death penatly in any situation, no matter how bad. I'd rather sit there and watch the person rot away for years in misery and pain. :D
What, like constitutional law ?

Good point. Then I want them in the general population with no possibility of parole.
pjdude1219 11-06-07, 11:45 AM Good point. Then I want them in the general population with no possibility of parole.
which amounts to death for them
More money to scientific research and space exploration, and less to the military.
Ack! Forgot nature preservation.. Where to get the money for that... :scratchin: I know, the military.. :D
Orleander 11-06-07, 11:46 AM which amounts to death for them

pjdude1219 11-06-07, 11:48 AM yeah, so sad too bad.
i still like my meat hook idea
MacGyver1968 11-06-07, 11:48 AM Hmmmm.....what would the board stoner want as a law passed? How about the legalization of weed.:m:
Orleander 11-06-07, 11:49 AM i still like my meat hook idea
I worry about the kind of person that would be willing to put meat hooks into people and hang them. I'm thinking I don't want them for a neighbor.

I'd like to understand something. If two people are living together and they
aren't married why would they get married? To me if you are together that's
all that you would want because if one died there could be a will leaving
everything to the other person. Why get married after all then you would
just get a divorce like everyone else does and lose everything to the other
person as in many instances. I just don't get it, sorry.
Hmmmm.....what would the board stoner want as a law passed? How about the legalization of weed.:m:
Just move to the Netherlands ;)
cosmictraveler 11-06-07, 11:53 AM I would make a law that makes a 15% flat tax for everyone. That way those
making anything over 30,000.00 pay and those making under don't. No
deductions but EVERYTHING is taxable that you earn,stocks, real estate and
so on.

If I wasn't married, I wouldn't have access to my husbands insurance. If he was in an accident, I'd have no say in his medical care. There are all kinds of legal issues with not being married.
Would you tell Shorty and Neitch they couldn't get married? Not, why would they want to, but they couldn't.

only for the truely evil deserve meat hooks most people don't

So gay people want aces to insurance? It would seem to me that both
people could work and maintain their own insurances or the one that works
could take out a separate policy on the partner couldn't they? It still seems
that getting married doesn't have to happen to live together and love each
other. Its just a piece of paper. Lawyers today can do just about anything
to make a couple that aren't married happy together through the legal
system without getting married.

Many people who are heterosexual do not understand it. Its not entirely about the money or the license. Its about having the freedom to marry and recognition from the government. Being told every day that I am less of a citizen because of my sexual orientation is wrong. I know what your going to say..."They don't say that!"... but they do! They do by denying me the freedoms in which others are entitled to.
Think about this...
I am a Iraq war veteran, I served my country in combat for two deployments. I was willing to give up my life for my country. Now the government tells me that even though I served them, they will not serve me. If I am willing to die for my country, I believe that I should have just as equal rights as anyone else.
But instead, if something happens to me and I die, my partner does not get my life insurance, the government does. My partner is unable to recieve any benefits that a heterosexual couple would get in that event. My daughter would get nothing as well. Now tell me, is that fair?

Health insurance, child custody, financial reasons, want others to celebrate their union, etc. etc.

That isn't true. If you leave a will and state who gets what, that will can be
held up in a court and have been upheld in courts many times. I don't
understand why you just don't contact an attorney to find out about a will.
They can help you set it up and you can have anything you want put into
it.

I have a will, but under federal law, life insurance is automatically given to the spouse. If no spouse is present it is granted to the state.
Also, if i was on my death bed in the hospital, my partner or my daughter would not be able to visit due to laws stating that only immediate family have visitation rights. AND medical insurance! My company provides medical insurance to its employees and thier families. But because our relationship is not federally recognized, my partner or daughter do not recieve those benefits. Instead we have to pay a SH*TLOAD more in order for them to have there own policies.
MZ3Boy84 11-06-07, 12:11 PM Look Im not here to fight for civil rights over an internet forum. There is nothing that can be won here. Can we drop it and get back to the original topic? lol :shrug:
MZ3Boy84 11-06-07, 12:13 PM My whole point is this... I served my country in war, willing to die for our freedoms. I think it is only fair that those freedoms be extended to me and my family. End of discussion.

I would make a law banning marriage nationwide, and replacing it with a civil unions system all across the board. Marriage is a religious ceremony, and should have no place in civil contracts.

Brilliant.

LOL, agreed. I'm an atheist so why should I be allowed to marry?
MZ3Boy84 11-06-07, 12:26 PM I would make a law banning marriage nationwide, and replacing it with a civil unions system all across the board. Marriage is a religious ceremony, and should have no place in civil contracts.
And the same goes with heterosexual couples?
cosmictraveler 11-06-07, 12:27 PM Marriage is a religious ceremony
You can get married with a Justice Of The Peace as well. They aren't
religious.

We I like living in Sin. I don't know how things work over there but here in Canada if you live with someone longer then 1 yr it is considered Common Law. (IF You ADMIT to it and claim that way) The government pretty much looks at it as the same as being married.
Since I am Self Employed I am on Nietche Health Benefits at work, like Dental, Vision, Prescriptions etc. I am also his beneficiary on Life insurance etc.......Right now he is worth more to me alive lol :D
To be honest it benefits us A LOT more to file things separately. If they added our incomes together we would be paying even more taxes then we do now. I think the government already gets enough from us.
I beleive in the idea that it is just a piece of paper, and it really doesn't change how 2 people who love eachother feel. If they live to together or marry. It is great for lawyers though!!
Anyway I also get the point of not being able to have the RIGHT to marry if you so wish.

Actually I do agree. That has probably been the smartest idea I've ever heard on the issue... You should run for President lol. I'd vote for ya.
But seriously, he's right. Marriage is a religious issue and should be restricted to such. Hmmmmm.... you got me thinking!
Orleander 11-06-07, 12:30 PM I don't think gay couples should be allowed to marry in churches if the religion prohibits it. As an atheist, I shouldn't either.
But a civil union should be available to everyone.
MZ3Boy84 11-06-07, 12:34 PM the true meaning of the seperation of church and state

Marriages are performed by Justices Of The Peace and Notary Publics
everyday so it isn't always religious in nature.
Y'all have legal weed too?
Although marijuana is technically still illegal in Canada, regulations came into force in 2001 allowing the use of marijuana by people who are suffering from serious illnesses and in 2003 a court ruling forced the government to sell the drug to certified medical marijuana patients making Canada the first country in the world to sell marijuana. Canada is also preparing to allow reduced sentences for low level marijuana possession and is evaluating supervised injection trials and heroin maintenance programs.

iceaura 11-06-07, 02:24 PM I would make it illegal to offer a bribe to a politician, with the penalty a (short) prison sentence, not a fine.

punishable by being stabbed a thousand times by a thumbtack :D
American law? I'd make Star Wars Imperial March the national hymn.
Hapsburg 12-08-07, 05:58 PM And the same goes with heterosexual couples?
Civil unions system would, of course, be extended to every and any citizen. It'd carry the same legal benefits as marriage, but it would be broader in scope and availability, and it would be without an assumed religious ceremony.
Religious ceremonies, which are normally associated with weddings, would, of course, be an option, but it'd be subsequent to the civil contract; the civil ceremony would be witnessed by a Judge or other magistrate, such as a Notary. The optional religious ceremony would be a private affair, witnessed by a priest or other sort of cleric, as they usually are.
Buffalo Roam 12-08-07, 07:55 PM i still like my meat hook idea
Take then to a old barn, crank a vice down on their dick, remove the handle give them a butter knife, start the barn on fire.
