What is the definition of marriage?

I think my favorite part is the part about the American Indian [sic] president. "Minorities are scary because they'll treat us as crappy as we treated them, given half the chance!"

Romney's neighbor should get into car's elevator and get stuck.

Nabisco put up a picture on the Oreo™ facebook page of an Oreo with rainbow cream for gay pride.

You wanna see some crazy, check out some of the comments on that page.

(And who the hell even knew Oreo™ had a FB page?!)

Well the future is a scary place, phyl.

Lol! Score.

Score for you too!

The real tragedy is the fact these brave lunar pioneers were denied any communication with Earth. I bet their absentee moon ballots weren't even counted!

That makes sense. The moon is apparently going to full of crotchety old people.

At least on the actual Oreo Facebook page, the supportive and positive comments seem to outnumber the homophobic wackos a great deal.

Patricia Weber also hates La Jolla's diversity. Damn those veterans, diversifying such a quaint, happy (READ: white) town.

Thanks, Matt. I hadn't seen the actual facebook page. (Just looked it up. I'm not on fb and forget that companies have pages that can be viewed publicly.)

I think the haters are finding themselves more and more in the minority with each passing day.

I realize there is so much stupidity in Weber's letter that it hardly deserves a response.

But could we once and for all stop with the bull$hit about how marriage has had the same "definition" for 200 or 2,000 years (depending on who is making up the nonsense).

A century ago, a wife was a virtual ward of her husband in most states, unable to transact business without his consent (and, of course, unable to vote). As recently as the 1950s, a wife who did anything but stay home and keep house was the object of considerable social scorn. (Not that there's anything wrong with being a housewife; it's damn hard work. The point is it is no longer compulsory for married women.)

When I was a kid, marriage was such an inviolable contract that even in a reasonably progressive state like New York, adultery was more or less the only justification for divorce. That's a very different "definition" of marriage than today's contract, which can be terminated at any time fairly easily by mutual agreement.

The "definition" of marriage has changed enormously even in my lifetime (legally and socially), so this nonsense about violating centuries-old traditions needs to stop.
