    I don't think it would really happen. Or that it would be a very good idea. Sometimes people just need to seperate or things can just get way worse, even violent. Sometimes it takes many years for a person to realize they want someone else, maybe even decades.

    It's really just the gay community getting pissed off.

    LOL at this quote: "Since California has decided to protect traditional marriage, I think it would be hypocritical of us not to sacrifice some of our own rights to protect traditional marriage even more"

    owned.

    Doubt it. Divorce does bring in some nice tax for the cash-strapped state...

    Oh, and incase you non-californians don't know. That quote is referring to Proposition 8, which banned gay marriage in the state.


    I'm not sure how much coverage that got outside of my great state :)

    But that is like the gray area...people can claim their spouse is what you just said and circumvent the point of the law

    At which point I guess I'll just result to killing her. No way I am spending my life associated to someone who betrayed me.

    That means celebrities who marry for five minutes have to say with their spouse as a result of a drunken night on the town.

    Hear that, Britney? Lol lol.

    I'm not spending a single fucking cent on that bitch. Ever. And, I'm not associating my name to her, or taking responsibility for anything she has done. I'm not visiting her in the hospital, and definitely do not want her visiting me. Hell, I never ever want to see or hear from her.

    Divorce is the only damn option. And if thats illegal, I guess I'll have to go to the illegal act that I can still commit. Murder.

    There's a reason why 50% of marriages end in divorce.... the people don't belong with the other person, enough said. Take away divorce, and then watch what happens (ie. the kind of stuff iargue is talking about).

    Just because the web designer guy who's pushing this is happily married, doesn't mean everyone will be/is. :p

    Maybe it's not so whacko...a little extreme maybe. A few months ago the now leader of the Opposition party in Australia said marriage should be harder to get and harder to get out of, and there should be a return to the laws before "no fault divorce" came in. So people couldn't just break up if they were fighting. You could say that's well on to heavily restricting divorce (not banning it)

    haha i thought it was funny xD

    The effort is meant to be a satirical statement after California voters outlawed gay marriage in 2008, largely on the argument that a ban is needed to protect the sanctity of traditional marriage. If that's the case, then Marcotte reasons voters should have no problem banning divorce.


    that guy is brilliant! :]
