Now, how long I wonder, until those nations that only think themselves progrssive, enact such laws as to ensure the civil right of such people who wish to marry.....animals?

O.o

I certainly hope I am not the only person arond who thinks this is zany.

Animals cannot voice consent to marry.

If your trying to make it seem like gay marriage is on a slippery slope, its not. Its two adults consenting to marry each other, while this is clearly not.

 

[Truronian]

It is zany, as is your whole slippery slope argument. In what way would a crazy sect allowing snake marriage promote liberal countries to allow it?

 

[blackheart]

Interracial marriages lead to same sex marriages which lead to human-animal marriages. The problem clearly lies with interracial marriages

Slightly crazy, but Hindus have a very spirtual leaning towards animals, heck they idolise some of them.

Although the English are famed for there love of animals it's purely platonic and I'm not sure we'll be marrying them anytime soon

As for the rest of Europe unless the cult of Mithras Comes back into favour I seriously doubt we'll be seeing this sort of animal worship in the public eye any time soon, although you never know

That's geat though, I hope there very happy together, Isn't love ridiculous

"Whenever I put milk near the ant hill where the cobra lives, it always comes out to drink."

Wow, if that's not true love, I don't know what is.

/gets misty-eyed

PS there was a similar story not long ago of a lady "marrying" a dolphin, I think.

 

[Pyrite]

I would rather have a cobra best friend. And we'd get into barfights together.

 

[Truronian]

Bloomin' animals, stealing our women-folk!

 

[blackheart]

I'm starting to wonder, was this intended as a troll thread against gay marriage?

Well, to be clear, polygamy is on the slippery slope. Though it would be legally complicated, due to contract issues.

Anyone who wants to marry a pet should get the pet cryonically frozen, and enact a hell of a legal battle. 'Cause if you don't freeze the animal first, it will die before you have a chance.

 

[Sidhe]

Nah it's just Mob Bosses odd sense of humour surely, I think it's pretty funny.

I hear the Welsh would like to marry there sheep but that's probably not very PC

The original post implies that if we allow gay marriage we will also have to allow inter-species marriage.

That would be awesome.

You could go up to some chick: "wanna see my snake?" and when her jock boyfriend took a swing, you two could totally clear house.

Of course, if marrying animals becomes legit, then we'll be allowed to bring our spouse Snakes on a Plane!

Ah! HERE WE GO!

Not only did she marry a dolphin, but it would seem the dolphin is also female!

Toby Keith WILL BE SHOCKED!

edit: Apparently "Cindy" is a male dolphin. THANK GOD!

edit2: Plus, apparently it is an open-marriage: ""He will still play with all the other girls there," she said, of their prenuptial agreement. "I hope he has a lot of baby dolphins with the other dolphins. The more dolphins the better."

Even more shocking!

Did I mention gay marriage at all in my original post? Man, you folks are paranoid. This wasnt a troll thread, at least I didnt intend it to be, but indeed just in line with my odd sense of humor.

However, for those who look at this seriously, if you consider the people from India spritually enlightened, then why isnt this something to be embraced by the rest of the world as well?

 

[atreas]

My friends always told me that marriage is killing the man. Now I see it can also kill a woman.

 

[warpus]

why isnt this something to be embraced by the rest of the world as well?

Because members of the species in question can't legally consent to marriage, sex, etc.

WTH? You mean "stomp your hoof one time for 'I do', twice for 'I do not', or three times for 'who the h*ll is this woman?'" doesn't count?

 

[Atropos]

They can't consent to being eaten, either. Neither can plants. Ban food.

The question of consent is only relevant for humans.

And all it took to make the woman fall in love was to drink a little milk! Efen wifhouf fefh i can fill fink milk, no problem.
