This conversation has gone somewhere. Not sure where, but somewhere.

[scriver]

circumcising minors should be an illegal act of mutilation,

Pretty much guarantees a female partner will be freaked out when the couple gets down and dirty.

Disregarding the circumcising ethics discussion: No it doesn't.

It was more of a joke reply...

I have retreated from the engagement.

 it is your move.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

It was more of a joke reply...

Nope, too late now, I already got Glenn Beck to portray you as a Communist.

[Max White]

Damn it, now there will be conservatives all over the place.
Deploy the long sword brandishing geeks!

I pursue, attacking your retreating forces in the back with my cavalry!

Nah, anyway, I completely missed that second post of yours. My apologies.

Sex before marriage is definitely something that needs to happen. How else will you know what your partners genitals look like? What if they have an outie instead of innie!?

[Zangi]

Eh, marriage is something different to many people.
Tax Breaks
Declaration of Love
Insurance Benefits
Traditional Familial Unit
Not wanting to be alone

Bunch of others probably...

As for premarital sex, eh, it effects everyone differently.  Its just people of both sides imposing their own ethics and standards upon others.  You gotta live to learn... its your choice how you live it.

There were two reasons I got married. 1) I wanted to profess my committed relationship to my now-wife. Until one of us dies. Or both. Or she gets fed up with me and kicks me out. But I'll be there until she no longer wants me to be. 2) I wanted to say, "Hey, society. This lady and I are a familial unit now. Treat us as one, please."

If you want to say it, just say it. Why did you need the government to help you say it?

We didn't need the government to help us say it, we needed them to understand it. Taxes, familial (medical decisions, etc,) rights, et al.

Disregarding the circumcising ethics discussion: No it doesn't.

And it most definitely IS mutilation.

[Bohandas]

It was more of a joke reply based off the number of times people have described their first and had a minor freakout about that skin flap.

Well I am CONSTANTLY freaking out over the fact that I no longer have one

And now I'm gonna have to stop posting on this thread because the last time we discussed this it got me so infuriated that I said things that got me banned for a week

Circumcision: Foreskins are cute, that's all I've got to say.  It's like he's wearing a little turtleneck sweater! =D

Marriage: The main focus, for me, is on the financial and primarily the legal obligations.  I know who I am and I know that I'm going to maim myself in a horrible metal-cutting related accident.  It's ok, I've come to terms with this and I know it's going to happen.  When it does happen, I'd like for the cops not to drag my lover away on legal charges.  I'd also like several of the tax cuts it allows, and other direct financial benefits.  Really, marriage offers enough pros that as long as two people aren't going to cause problems, then marriage would help both people.  IE, you and your friend could both use a tax cut?  Get married for the gift bag!

And also: Priests/Pastors/Etc have the certified for marriage.  Marriage at its core WAS a religious institution, but is NOW a Vegas drive-thru institution.  Religion only cares about marriage anymore when it's gay people getting married.

Goddamnit... I want to sig this but I don't think it's within forum rules to D:

[insert shriveled mushroom joke here]

Hurr we're a bunch of jokers, aren't we?

I just know I'm going to catch flak for this, but I'm going to say it anyway.

I find absolutely nothing wrong with pre-marital sex. The biggest reason for this: compatibility. I would never, ever buy a car without giving it a thorough inspection and a test drive or two, and I'm only committing to that car for between 5-10 years. Furthermore, a lot of people don't even know what they like when they're inexperienced.

This is pretty much how I feel as well.

...I can't really understand why you thought you'd catch flak for it.

I always disliked that metaphor. Makes it sound like the sole purpose of a relationship/marriage was sexual gratification.
