Brought to you by Coloradans for Marriage, yet another group needing to "fight for marriage". Or, as I prefer to call them, Homophobes For Bigotry.

Still, they took the time to list all of the great things about marriage in order to remind people of what they are fighting for:

You know - to remind us straight married folks what it is that we are fighting for.

Methinks that they don't love the institution as much as they claim to.....


:D

I'd say that's a pretty comprehensive list.:D

That was some remarkably poor execution, perhaps the worst I have seen all month.

Best thing about my marraige... the divorce.

I can relate. The best present my ex ever gave me was when he left me on my birthday.

I only approve of homosexual marriage. I have a piece of paper in my closet that says hetrosexual marriage is wrong and I am certain someone very important wrote it. I'm certain people will respect my views and join in my fight since my case is just as strong as the opposition groups.

Of course it doesn't matter because if you don't agree with me you'll end up standing on your head for all eternity. (It says that part on the other side of the paper)

ive been married 22 years. that list pretty much sums it up.

:D good one~!

I'm getting married Saturday :) so I'll probably find that marriage is exactly the same after we get married as it was before since we've been living together for years anyway.

Naw your partner will start cheating immediately. Affairs with a married person are extremely hot and irresistible.

Priceless.

lol - I'm pretty sure that wont happen since we can bring others to bed with us (as long as they want both of us that is). ;)

Why does a divorce cost so much ..........&c.

Hear hear--only my ex was a she, and I did the leaving (after she cheated on me).

Sometimes they only cost a few bullets ::cough::cough:: I mean bucks.

Oh I don't know, my attorney was quite reasonable. But then I was a reasonable person.

My ex's however has leined my house...:headbang:

For what is equal to ten times what I've paid my attorney.

Apparently her demands on him were slightly more than what I placed on my attorney.

I believe her aim was to have me jailed for life and pay every cent I have and will make for the rest of that life to her.


And then if at all possible to have me horribly tortured....

:headbang: I wanted to settle my divorce without it costing too much money, as my ex husband felt that I was a whore and some other rather nicer things, I thought he would have no objection. He at no point has even asked to have our children and in the almost 2 years since we split, has had them for a TOTAL of about 48hrs..tops...BUT I forgot about the money...he wants money, and lots of it...and even though I don't have any, my Dad does, and my ex wants a portion, his last request was £50,000 cash, within 2 months, and he has got a Barrister now, not just a solicitor. I have to get one too and go to court and give evidence, the fact that my parents paid for our house and our car, and that he has no debt and a new car, is living with his new girlfriend in a nice house and she has a good job seems to make no difference...If he doesnt get the money, then he wants me to sell the house so that he can get a third share...even though he didn't pay for it...and it is his childrens home and I wont be able to afford to buy a decent house with the money that I will have left over after I pay the bills, fees and give him a third share...so don't talk to me about marriage right now...:headbang:

I dunno what to say, that sounds like you had one hell of a rough deal. Don't men usually pay maintainance?

He has to pay the CSA rate...so he pays £88 a week for his 3 children, thats it, he gives them nothing else and doesn't pay me a penny, he doesn't contribute towards anything that the children need, and when he takes them out for an hour once every couple of months, he takes them to the KFC drive thru, and that is the only thing he does with them.....But I don't think its me that got the rough deal, its our three lovely children.

You'd think they'd put a little blurb about how that section is under construction or something instead of just putting it up like that.

"The best things about being married.... "

Um ... you never have to worry about what you're going to spend your money on ... your wife handles that for you! :D

Yeah...all that boring bill paying and grocery shopping that wives do...what a total waste...I am sure that my lovely Canadian thinks that we should spend more money on beer, eating out and new lingerie.....

I have to stop buying new underwear...and getting the beer in for him...I had best let him do the shopping too...*sits back* excellent!

If marriage is SO great, then shouldn't they want to share that joy with the world? Or is really so bad that they want to spare the homosexuals? :D

Haha! Yeah, what ARE the great things about marriage? And I'd love to see a real list of why gays can't get married. Honestly, I can't fathom why people are so up in arms about it. They're people too!

According to the religious right: They can't... well... because... well.. uh... because we say so! And well, we don't want to violate the sanctity of marriage. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go finish my divorce proceedings, while I sleep with that new intern who's got a sexy rack and stop my three daughters from having abortions because they had pre-marital sex.
