Re: In Defense of the Marriage
 

the term family is ascribed to people who live together and have ties...this could be blood relations or it could be other ties..marriage for example..adding the word nuclear on the front of it merely adds a dimension to the general term family

Re: In Defense of the Marriage
 

That is not the original Greek definition.

I think it's different across the pond, but since he is on this forum he must follow the rule of the mods.

I personally don't have a problem with him expressing this unless it is targeted at specific people to cause insult.

Then we are again separating fly**** from pepper, because you know what I'm talking about. I am going with the dictionary definition. The two parents, and the children.

Re: In Defense of the Marriage
 

i see your point, i just feel that this forum is made up of 2000+ people and to, effectively, judge those who aren't in his view in a "real" family is not on

Re: In Defense of the Marriage
 

that is the dictionary definition of a nuclear family

Re: In Defense of the Marriage
 

In the eyes of the law they are considered rights, so I don`t see how your opinion can even enter into it. You are entitled to assign whatever label you want, but that doesn`t undermine the legislation in effect.

Re: In Defense of the Marriage
 

You're going with *one* of the dictionary definitions of family, the one that happens to suit your viewpoint. There are other "dictionary definitions" of family that do make perfect allowance for a family with a homosexual couple in the parental role. Don`t just cherry pick the little bits that suit your needs.

I think Philips liberal view would require consent from both parties. As said already a 2 year old does not. Their parents are unlikely to give it and if they did could be overruled by a child court.

Also when you are quoting can you put the name you are quoting from it makes threading easier to understand the command is [ quote = name ] no spaces obviously.

Re: In Defense of the Marriage
 

Maybe so, but if the founding fathers had been able to forsee people like you twisting that to suit their own ends I think they probably would have reconsidered entirely.

Re: In Defense of the Marriage
 

who could also be considered a family. :ghugs:

Perhaps why there have been so few ammendments.

Re: In Defense of the Marriage
 

exactly my point huni :ghugs: :D

Re: In Defense of the Marriage
 

It's a good law, but you have to take the bad as well as the good. :o

Re: In Defense of the Marriage
 

Yep, and all of this is irrelevant because I got my point accross to Miss B. :) You're just trying to argue about a trivial thing like definition. I'm quite sure you've got the brains to know what I meant.
