...Uwe Mitzscherlich, a 39-year-old postman who lives in Germany, has married his cat, whose name is Cecilia and is 15 years old. This is probably the weirdest marriage I’ve heard of since the guy married the pillow. Or the woman married the Eiffel Tower. Apparently, if it exists, people will marry it. [

Am I the fucking idiot, or am I the only sane person left in the world?
The things I allude to are already happening. Close your eyes if you like, but that will not u-ring the bell.
They are already happening, the quest now is to legalize and 'accept' it.
Quoting: Real list well in the words of Sheryl
Do you really want to rain on some lonely persons parade who felt so alone, they needed to marry a tower? Thats mean.
I assume you change to arguement to...if if makes a person happy they should be allowed to...what? Anything they want?
Another slippery slope
Allowing one religion to define our country that is the land of many... now there is some lubed up cucumber. or a slippery slope.
I did not cite religion, it is not necessary for this topic.
marriage is a specialzed legal contract with defined terms, as is a business partnership

Partnership
An association of two or more persons engaged in a business enterprise in which the profits and losses are shared proportionally. The legal definition of a partnership is generally stated as "an association of two or more persons to carry on as co-owners a business for profit" (Revised Uniform Partnership Act § 101 [1994]).
Marriage
The legal status, condition, or relationship that results from a contract by which
one man and one woman, who have the capacity to enter into such an agreement, mutually promise to live together in the relationship of Husband and Wife in law for life, or until the legal termination of the relationship
BTW, many people today 'write' their own vows, whch may or may not include the phrase 'til death do we part'
Many people today have terms spelling out a divorce stlllement in advance.. pre-nups.
Neither of these conditions changes the basic contract of two people, a man and a woman by definition, living and doing business as a single entity.
