To my knowledge, he was not arrested. Do you have a source for it? And I simply said that the state will not recognize your multiple marriages, not that the state would not prosecute you for violating the laws of the state.




That's nonsense. If you don't want to be married, the state won't force it on you. And I think it's hilarious that you claim that state is "punishing" non-married people by not conferring rights, benefits and obligations on them that are associated with marriage when your preferred policy is for no one to enjoy the rights, benefits and obligations of marriage. How does that make any sense at all? You want everyone to be "punished."



You solution for inequitable availability of the rights, benefits and obligations of marriage developed over the centuries is for everyone to be denied them. That's fucking stupid.

Force? Clearly you can understand "incentive" which is the word I used to describe this. The attempt is to get people to comply with the "standard" they set, while you may believe it is benevolent, it is simply a power grab in an attempt to direct and control the actions of the vast majority of a largely conformist population. The new priests of the church are just people with political power. Some attempt to "conserve" the standard set by the previous controlling group, some attempt to get people to beg for addition to the same set. It all serves to direct action. You see only the carrot, but that is because you largely trust government and believe that it is good to allow them into your life this far to "protect" you.

And, I'm sorry, I should have said "likely will be" arrested. The felony he will likely be charged with is an interesting one.

That just a bunch of buzzwords. It isn't responsive to my post at all. I take it you concede that your solution to the inequitable availability of the rights, benefits and obligations of marriage is to make those rights, benefits and obligations unavailable to anyone. That's just stupid.

If he likely will be arrested based on an article written ten months ago, how the hell long does it take to arrest the guy? The authorities know all about his wives. What's taking so long? At what point in time does it become unlikely?

Michael Irvin is on the cover of Out magazine

Michael Irvin's always been a passionate guy. He played with passion as he helped the Dallas Cowboys win three Super Bowls, and he speaks passionately now that he's paid to talk about the game.

His passion has most recently turned towards the gay community. The Playmaker now sees it as his mission in life to fight homophobia and bring people closer together.

so the constitution denies homosexual marriage rights.....?

so the constitution grants annulments to britney spears marriage rights.....?

Uhh let's see...I read the article....where did Irvin advocate either of those positions. Did I miss something?

they are against gay's but not gay priest?

while I'm for gay rights, this issue is not worth the importance it gets.
One we can't afford the extra cost
two we are still jailing poor people for herb

Yup, just another wedge issue. That's why I"m not to sympathetic on how Republican politics have economically devastated rural communities and turned them into rural ghettos. As long as their primary political concerns are gays, guns and abortions and not their own economic concerns then that's their problem.
