It is the same.
Same love. (or at least it can be.)
Same feelings of betrayal.
Just no peice of paper to say you're married.

Edit: an' yeah I know we are specifically talking bout marriage here.
But beforehand I was saying that other people have no idea how other will react in that situ. The person making the comment does have more of an idea.
 
No, its different, there is no binding contractual agreement. You did not say "I do" in front of a bunch of witnesses. Therefore, there are no ground for you to be sued.
 
Lets end this discussion question on the subject of adultry[its been a long 9 page of this thread].

1.there is 2 camps that differ
a.one group of people that dont see adultry a big deal
b.and the other that see that it is a big deal

2.there is 2 camps that differ
a.one group of people think the state should intervene
b.and the other that see that it should not intervene

3.
a.it strike a personal passion of contempt in the name of adultry because of being a victim of adultry
b.it strike a personal decision of content of adultry because the person has done such deed of adultry

4.I find that my own opinion is of adultry is that it wrecks other nuclear familiy household in my community and the real result is that they succumb to financial ruins because of the dependancies of 2 adults income being severed and the child future in the already tuition hike all across the nation[especially the midwest]in jeopardy.

Just cause you say something is "debunked" does not make it so.
But it was so obviously debunked, not that is should be necessary to debunk it, because the "personal business" argument falls on its own insanity. So I entertained you guys showing how this could not be an argument, and all you could say is "no it isn't".
 
Is it wrong by todays morals?Yes,but we were animals once and we did it all around,not being limited to one partner.

So no.

And yes you may call me a scientific,evolutionist atheist...whatever.
 
I said animal because there was a long 'Is man an animal' discussion long ago :crazyeye: It was started by Goober me thinks,check it out.
 
Should adultery be illegal?

Or more commmonly known as....

Should we have the right to tell other people what to do with their personal lifes?

Anyone voting yes doesn't believe in freedom.

Stay out of other peoples lifes.

I see a lot of want to be dictators in this thread.
 
You see it as:

Should we have the right to tell other people what to do with their personal lifes?

I see it as:

Should we let people off freely for serious breach of contract?

And the answer to that for me is no. Legally if you committ adultry, your spouse has the right to sue and win against you in divorce court.

There is no governement that gives absolute freedom. For instance I can view taxes(especially social security taxes) as "Does the goverment have the right to tell me what to do with my money".

Ah yes, now I see. You are so obviously right. I was so blind. Do you have a religion I could join?

Give me a break. This is the lamest post ever.

First of all, people interfer in other's life's all the time, its called voting. Who decides what is personal and what is criminal? Voters vote for people that make these laws.
Secondly, the way you went about it was also very lame:

Anyone voting yes doesn't believe in freedom
:rolleyes:

Lamest post ever? You are bitter today.

And that's one hell of a mature argument.

'ooo you are so lame'

:lol:

Simple fact is that you want to dictate to people what they can and can't do with their personal lifes. That doesn't sound like freedom to me!

Total freedom = total anarchy.

We have laws for a reason...not everything the individual does, private or no, is in the best interests of others.

We're not animals now? That's news to me.. What are we then, plants?
Im a cornflower. Pretty sure of that.
 
I say no, because it is an issue best resolved by the two spouses. I would not only feel like a complete wuss and "tattletail" if I took my spouse to court for cheating on me, but I would be totally embarrassed to possibly expose that maybe I wasn't being the best husband I could be. If my (future wife) wife cheats on me, I would simply end our marriage with a divorce, no need to bring the federal court into this situation. If I cheated on my wife, and she wanted a divorce but felt she had been financially ruined by my unfaithfulness, I think we could settle the issue fairly well between ourselves. It is not a matter that should concern the federal government. I made a bonding contract with my wife, not with the government. If I cheat on her or she cheats on me, it should only be between us.
