Post #377,179 by folkert 6/28/13 8:13:54 PM Reply	Ummm... There are specific areas in the United States that Dutch Immigrant migrated to. Middle Pennsylvania, Western Michigan, parts of New York State. These places are "Up in the North of these United States." Resistance to change is what Dutch Christian Reformed Churchies do best here. They are very horrible to anything that challenges their "world view"... that and certain sects of Baptists. I happen to live in one of the more heavily populated by Dutch Immigrants that proudly are Christian Reformed Church of America members. And yep they are weeping about the "going against the Bible" this heathen country is coming to. -- greg@gregfolkert.net PGP key 1024D/B524687C 2003-08-05 Fingerprint: E1D3 E3D7 5850 957E FED0 2B3A ED66 6971 B524 687C

That's *her* standing - (drook) - (6) - June 27, 2013, 04:57:19 PM EDT

There's a negative economic impact in cohabitation. - (mmoffitt) - June 28, 2013, 12:34:23 PM EDT

I was unclear. - (mmoffitt) - June 28, 2013, 08:50:39 AM EDT

costly to the taxpayer? It's not your money - (boxley) - June 27, 2013, 05:57:18 PM EDT

But it *will* affect you! - (pwhysall) - (6) - June 28, 2013, 03:06:29 AM EDT

Nonsense. Did they have kids? - (mmoffitt) - (84) - June 28, 2013, 04:59:30 PM EDT

Really? - (Another Scott) - (2) - June 28, 2013, 05:12:19 PM EDT

Maybe in the short term. - (mmoffitt) - (1) - July 1, 2013, 06:01:47 PM EDT

The number you want is "new household formation". - (Another Scott) - July 1, 2013, 07:26:08 PM EDT

so you are one of them - (boxley) - June 28, 2013, 05:13:24 PM EDT

Re: Nonsense. Did they have kids? - (hnick) - (58) - June 28, 2013, 06:13:14 PM EDT

Sans kids, what are the societal benefits of marriage? - (mmoffitt) - (57) - July 1, 2013, 06:23:54 PM EDT

I remember arguing with Ben why atheists want to marry - (boxley) - (1) - July 1, 2013, 07:15:48 PM EDT

Man, I am *NOT* making my point about marriage. - (mmoffitt) - July 1, 2013, 09:12:48 PM EDT

Re: Sans kids, what are the societal benefits of marriage? - (Another Scott) - (54) - July 1, 2013, 07:38:37 PM EDT

So what? - (mmoffitt) - (53) - July 1, 2013, 09:23:03 PM EDT

That's rough. - (Another Scott) - (50) - July 1, 2013, 10:40:01 PM EDT

I don't think your marriage is a sham marriage. - (mmoffitt) - (49) - July 2, 2013, 06:37:02 PM EDT

How about mine? - (crazy) - (1) - July 2, 2013, 08:14:52 PM EDT

No societal benefit != no benefit. - (mmoffitt) - July 2, 2013, 10:03:07 PM EDT

I wasn't pointing at you specifically. - (Another Scott) - (46) - July 2, 2013, 08:56:31 PM EDT

No. Come on, Scott, have I really been that unclear? - (mmoffitt) - (45) - July 2, 2013, 09:30:51 PM EDT

There's a difference between "expected" and "the purpose" - (drook) - (3) - July 2, 2013, 09:37:48 PM EDT

Thank you. - (mmoffitt) - (2) - July 2, 2013, 09:48:12 PM EDT

I think it went off the rails here. - (Another Scott) - (1) - July 2, 2013, 10:07:45 PM EDT

Yep, that was subjective. - (mmoffitt) - July 2, 2013, 10:10:26 PM EDT

We're talking past each other. - (Another Scott) - (40) - July 2, 2013, 09:54:29 PM EDT

I think that's slightly disingenuous. - (mmoffitt) - (39) - July 2, 2013, 10:08:40 PM EDT

See above. I don't know how to say more... -NT - (Another Scott) - (27) - July 2, 2013, 10:10:15 PM EDT

Dude, Seriously? - (mmoffitt) - (26) - July 2, 2013, 10:11:38 PM EDT

Expectations change. - (Another Scott) - (25) - July 2, 2013, 10:34:23 PM EDT

An equal protection claim assumes the result. - (mmoffitt) - (24) - July 2, 2013, 10:56:56 PM EDT

you are confused - (boxley) - (1) - July 2, 2013, 11:00:32 PM EDT

On your addendum. - (Another Scott) - July 3, 2013, 03:04:01 PM EDT

Yes you did. But never mind that; let's talk people in stead - (CRConrad) - (17) - July 3, 2013, 03:15:18 PM EDT

My last bit. A little clarification. - (mmoffitt) - (16) - July 6, 2013, 11:36:52 AM EDT

Wake up. - (Another Scott) - (9) - July 6, 2013, 12:07:00 PM EDT

Racial discrimination is a different issue entirely. -NT - (mmoffitt) - (7) - July 6, 2013, 02:19:48 PM EDT

Equal protection is Equal protection. QED. -NT - (Another Scott) - (6) - July 6, 2013, 02:22:57 PM EDT

Can we discriminate against polygamists? - (mmoffitt) - (5) - July 6, 2013, 02:54:28 PM EDT

Is polygamist marriage legal in the US? - (Another Scott) - (2) - July 6, 2013, 03:10:21 PM EDT

How about Amendment 10? - (mmoffitt) - (1) - July 6, 2013, 05:13:02 PM EDT

Concur. The state no longer has an interest in marriage. -NT - (mmoffitt) - July 6, 2013, 05:14:31 PM EDT

Re: Wake up. ... Interesting that they cited Korematsu - (Ashton) - July 7, 2013, 05:08:00 AM EDT

A distinction without a difference. - (CRConrad) - (4) - July 6, 2013, 06:34:26 PM EDT

And there it is. - (mmoffitt) - (3) - July 7, 2013, 01:06:17 PM EDT

Not assume, *declare* - (drook) - (2) - July 7, 2013, 01:33:44 PM EDT

Oh, he won't answer this one - (crazy) - July 7, 2013, 03:59:28 PM EDT

Where and when was this declaration made? - (mmoffitt) - July 8, 2013, 01:25:35 PM EDT

Sorry, you still lost about six levels ago. - (CRConrad) - July 6, 2013, 07:21:49 PM EDT

state involvement in marriage was about division of property - (boxley) - (10) - July 2, 2013, 10:50:48 PM EDT

Among DESCENDANTS, right? - (mmoffitt) - (2) - July 2, 2013, 10:58:10 PM EDT

Just lucky I guess. - (Another Scott) - (2) - July 3, 2013, 02:49:15 PM EDT

The best part is... - (mmoffitt) - (1) - July 6, 2013, 11:39:29 AM EDT

Indeed! -NT - (Another Scott) - July 6, 2013, 12:07:28 PM EDT

Things we have: "adoption", "artificial insemination"... - (malraux) - (20) - June 28, 2013, 06:41:46 PM EDT

Adoption and Artificial insemination rely on others. - (mmoffitt) - (19) - July 1, 2013, 06:25:23 PM EDT

"Zero chance" is BS - (malraux) - (18) - July 1, 2013, 06:35:22 PM EDT

Succinct, sure -- but above all, WRONG. - (CRConrad) - (1) - July 3, 2013, 01:27:28 AM EDT

I'm aware of the shady company I'm keeping. - (mmoffitt) - July 3, 2013, 01:29:11 PM EDT
