The gay marriage issue has opened the door. This is only the beginning. Soon the ACLU will defend people who want to marry multiple people, children or animals.

You will see.

I told you, ACLU is the
Anti-American
Commie
Leftist
Union

Bound together by their hatred of all that is good and pure.

Anybody who does not realize the hidden agneda of the ACLU should read this article:

I wasn't aware that adultery was illegal in the first place...

Probably because it's only vaguely enforced. The only place where I know it is frequently enforced is the military. In fact, I can think of one very high profile adultery case from 1997 to 1998 time frame: Kelly Flynn. She was a B-52 pilot and was charged with adultery and fraternization. Ironically, fraternization actually doesn't have it's own article in the UCMJ. It falls under article 134, which is kind of a catch-all.

"I wasn't aware that adultery was illegal in the first place..."

That makes two of us. I know it's legal grounds for divorce....so I guess it would make sence.

The reasons for it's illegality actually have alot to do with it being grounds for divorce. Remember there didn't used to be no-fault divorces. It really never gets prosecuted (unless someone just reaallly has a gradge) because of its uses in divorce cases.

It all stems of English common law.

"The reasons for it's illegality actually have alot to do with it being grounds for divorce."

So, basically, the courts got sick of seeing it in their court rooms and decided to put an "end" to adultry by making it illegal? What a better way of making people be faithful to their spouses :-) I'm so glad it worked :-D hahaha.

"Remember there didn't used to be no-fault divorces."

Well, I remember *hearing* something like that a few years back, but since I've never had a divorce myself, I've never actually *known* what grounds (if any) there had to be. I just assumed there *had* to be *some* grounds because in my family, there were always divorces for either:

a) adultry - or
b) irreconcilable differences ( which I *think* was the grounds for my parents divorce)
c) or both a & b

And my favorite one (spoken by one of my cousins when I was little) was that their spouse - and I quote:

d) "Didn't have enough sense to go to the bathroom by herself."

No lie. I'm not sure if he actually *told* that to the judge (I seriously doubt it) but he was granted the divorce anyway :-)

Well in my opinion it should be illegal and it should stay illegal. You see our legal system is much like our country; It was based on religion. Since adulty is one of the ten commandments then it makes perfect since that it should be illegal. However certain people and certain groups (ACLU) dont believe that this country should be about religion. Therefore they seek to remove anything remotely religious about our laws much like they are doing here.

I find it very funny how many people refuse to believe that religion was a hugh part of the start of this country. They refuse to see that without religion then our laws have no point of reference. Without a point of reference you get moral decay and laws that drift to the left and right. Thats the world we are living in now and the downfall of our 'melting pot'. I want to live in a country based on religion (the way it used to be). Now we try to please everyone and make sure that we dont 'offend' anyone. That is of course unless your a Christian. Thats the only religion you are allowed to offend.

The ACLU is a hard working and dedicated organization making sure that morals have no place in our society. They are an evil, self serving organization who are getting rich making sure that happens.

mmmm if I were the devil I wonder what would be the most effective way to destroy a society?

"You see our legal system is much like our country; It was based on religion."

That is correct, the framers were Deists, not Christians. They believed in freedom and the right of a MAN to worship whatever he wants. Many of them (Jefferson, Adams, Franklin) were notorious womanizers and adulterers. The ten commandments are ridiculous old tool of hebrew oppression, that is why Jesus invented FORGIVENESS.

The Illinois senate this week passed a law allowing someone to will property to a pet, so it is just as if they were married to the pet. Whatever floats your boat. I wont be the one tellling other people what is 'immoral'. Funny how it is the kind of person who is prepared to kill another person that always seems to know what is 'moral'.

"I wont be the one tellling other people what is 'immoral'. Funny how it is the kind of person who is prepared to kill another person that always seems to know what is 'moral'."

Not as funny as someone who fully backs a group who's intent is legalize adultry, lower the legal concent age to 13, defends registered sex offenders and defends the man boy love association. You back this group at at the same time say that you wont tell other people what is 'immoral'. That explains alot to me.

Maybe the reason you will not tell someone what is immoral is because you dont know.

Religion teaches people what is moral and immoral. My religion teaches me that through what you would called 'ridiculous old tool of hebrew oppression'. I didnt just make it up and I take deep offense to your ignorant statement. I also take offense to your judgement of my military service. My religion teaches me to forgive your statments.

Please give me any example of a single commandment that is a tool of hebrew oppression.

Lower the age of consent to 13?! GEEEZZ!!! It's 16 here in Georgia which is too low. It's even 18 in California! CALIFORNIA!

Sorry, but I'm 20 and I doubt that a 20 year old knows what he or she is doing when they consent to sex, much less a 16 year old or a 13 year old!

BTW, maybe me and cwilli's preparedness to kill someone has something to do with our sense of morality?

Skywalker, Yes 13.

from that story:

Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline told reporters, “The ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) states specifically in its brief that it is a constitutional right for any child age 13 and older to consent to have sex with anyone.”

Well, first off, no where in the constitution does it say any teenager can have consensual sex with anyone. Second, these laws have generally always been left up to the state to decide.
