Would you be for or against people marrying their pets? I'm for, if only because I'd like it to be socially acceptable to say, "I'm married to my pussy." in casual conversation. :p

In all honesty, I don't care who/what is married to who/what.
The only marriages I am focused on are the ones of my friends and relatives. :)

Do you even have a vague idea of what the legal scripting would have to look like for something like that? o.0

I wouldn't try to stop anyone from marrying his/her pet, but I'd certainly avoid that person and think that person is a pervert.

People marrying their pets?! Their pets?!

...Meh...Big deal. No different from the rest of the psychotic lobbies out there.

i would normally say 'its none of my business' or 'i don't care... let em', but this is just too weird

how would they consumate their marriage :eek:

The problem here is consent.

hwo would they consumate their marriage :eek:
I would post a link, but I would probably get a warning for doing so. So I won't.

Heh. So far, it seems that many people don't care either way. This is eliminating one of the main arguements against homosexuality altogether. Sucks for anti-gays. :D

The problem here is consent.
"Will you marry me, Fluffletoms?"
"Rawr!"
*Turns to friends*
"Fluffletoms said yes! We're engaged! Oh, bliss!"

Gay marriage to animals

1. I really don't care if people want to marry their cars...

2. How did you come up with this disturbing idea?

The problem here is consent.
Pets are property, right? Since when do you need consent to use your property?

Gay marriage to animals
Of course! :D

Would minimum age laws apply? How many dog years are there in a human year?

Like I said, this is a common arguement against gay marriage, "People'll want to marry their pets." *Scoffs*

I can see what gossip the in laws will be spreading.

"Jim's wife is such a cow! No really, go look at her."

Marriage is a social contract.

Like any other contract it cannot be entered into by a non-consenting party. That's why you need that "I do" part in the ceremony.

Pets aren't capable of expressing their consent to such a thing. So no. you can't have people marry their pets.

like 57... I guess

I think it's seven.

I think it's seven.

lets go with his answer ;)

I think it's seven.
Ok, so then to marry a dog would you have to wait a little over two and a half human years, or would you have to wait the full 18 human years and hope the dog lives that long?

I'd say you'd have to wait three years. (21 dog years.) That seems about right.

Actually, he's a she. :D

That's discrimination! Humans can get married at 18 or younger in the US depending on which state they're in. In Mississippi a while back I think the minimum age was 12 providing you had parental consent.

Yes, but still, man, dogs aren't as intelligent as humans, that's a scientific fact. Therefore, the dogs have to be a bit older and a bit wiser than 18 dog years old. :)

Sorry, its just an online habit

Sorry, its just an online habit
No problem, I get that all the time. (Online.)

I'm not going to say anything on people marrying pets. We wouldn't want to piss off peta or alf now would we?

a - how would this change my life?
b - why the hell should I care?

Would minimum age laws apply? How many dog years are there in a human year?It's kinda complex- essentially, by the end of their first year, a dog is almost fully mature (about 15, human equivalent). Then, they age approximately four years per human year from thereon out. This has variations by the breed, as smaller breeds tend to live longer, but it's a good general rule-of-thumb.

And while this might seem odd, it's because humans define "mature" differently than "sexually mature" for humans only- it'd be safe to say "seven years per year, flat" if we were a breed-for-the-sake-of-breeding type species.


And, of course, written consent, especially one accepted by an impartial judge/lawyer, would be more difficult than the verbal consent of a religious ceremony.

NO GOD DAMN IT. Jeez, can't people find enough 9 year old girls to impregnate these days? Marry their pets? Man, when I grew up that kind of idea was sickening. Now I suppose the furry culture has numbed everyone to the concept of perverts having sex with animals. :(

Animals are property, like drunk commies said. You can do what you want to your property.

Both are perverted, but I'd much rather have the perverts molesting housepets than little kids.

I wouldn't. If they molest kids they can be prosecuted and put away. THey molest their pets, it just continues on forever. And frankly, animals are better people.

Poor pets...

Uh, animals do not have legal standing and cannot sign a marriage contract.

against for another reason: because it is unatural, and because i'm against marriage at all, get rid of it entirely.

Ah...yet another kinky side is shown by my fellow NSers... :)
