Santorum & College Kids Argue Logic of Gay Marriage
>> ^Unaccommodated:
Being against polygamy is not bigoted. Humans pair off, its what we do. But Polyandry (one female - multiple males) doesn't work except in a few places like Nepal and Bhutan, where there is little arable land. But the men are ALWAYS brothers, there is no other way it would work (also its a dying practice). Polygyny (One Male - Multiple females) doesn't work either, because then you get an excess of poor, young, bored undersexed men, who become serious problems. Infact, the Warren Jeffs FLDS cult would evict 'misbehaving' young men because there weren't enough ladies to go around. These kids were given no chance. As far as homosexual groupings of more then two? No one is asking for that, many are quite content pairing off with one other person. There is also no historical or ethnographic evidence for it either. And as far as marrying anything nonhuman, that is wrong simply because the other thing is not sentient (in the way we are) and doesn't know what its agreeing to. I think you may be one of those dangerous people only took ONE Anthropology class, and has otherwise missed the boat.
Diogenes just linked to an article about people who are asking for exactly these things, and making them work. Polyamorous and polygamous relationships are neither very rare nor dysfunctional.
Marriage involving nonhumans seems to be very simply resolved. We discount the consent of the nonsentient partners. If I want to marry my pencil or goldfish I really don't see how it could be any of your business.

I had thought of a neat art project.
Make an acrylic working toilet, fill the front end of the reservoir tank with a valid goldfish tank setup, so that you can see it swimming around and at the back end of the tank is a Mario Brother style Sewer pipe, not apparent to the user the water source is not the fish environment.
It could either be a neat display on a working toilet or a way of studying human dynamics.

He was never the same after that. Just swam in circles and watched the world go by.

Ravi Zacharias Answers Stephen Hawking
No, it's that you presume God is irrelevent. That's the natural conclusion from your fishtank example, isn't it? You see a world without God, and I see a world with God. Clearly, only one of us is correct. That is why absolutes are important. Someone is right, and someone is wrong. If you don't believe in absolutes, I would ask you, do you absolutely believe that?
>> ^vaire2ube:
God is Irrelevant, is the point. We can't debate the subject by virtue of its definition, so if you have a differing opinion just deal with it.
Reality is still real. We can interact without absolute knowledge.
Read the article from Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow September 27, 2010
"A few years ago the city council of Monza, Italy, barred pet owners from keeping goldfish in curved fishbowls. The sponsors of the measure explained that it is cruel to keep a fish in a bowl because the curved sides give the fish a distorted view of reality. Aside from the measure’s significance to the poor goldfish, the story raises an interesting philosophical question: How do we know that the reality we perceive is true? The goldfish is seeing a version of reality that is different from ours, but can we be sure it is any less real? For all we know, we, too, may spend our entire lives staring out at the world through a distorting lens."

Anyone here like Aquariums for a hobby ? (Pets Talk Post)
As a kid, I used to keep freshwater fishes like Bettas, goldfishes, tropical (Angel), tiny frog (from a tadpole), cra(w/y)fishes, etc. I probably have old photographs/photos. buried somewhere from the 1980s/80s. I used bowls, hexagon tanks (small and huge), etc.
Why are you digging that hole little girl?

Why NSFW? It's bleeped out
Yeah, but the goldfish... it died, and that makes ant sad. And there's no crying in baseball.
