Marriage
We all do things that may or may not be socio-biological. For example, when a man is away from his mate for an extended period of time, (or a time out of the ordinary habits of their coupling) his body will create ejaculate with more sperm than normal. Scientists think this to be a defensive effort against other sperm that may have entered his partner in his absence. This is a logical conclusion, but doesn't make it absolutely correct.
Socio-biology is not an exact science as much as it is best logical guess. To say that homomeepuality is biological is a best guess. It cannot be proven with a test that can be repeated throughout the homomeepual community. Right or wrong simply do not factor into it.
It could be that people are just meep and we will never be able to justify it.
Homomeepuals in Canada are allowed to marry and this week, one couple was judged the first homomeepual divorce. If socio-biological factors 'explain' why same-meep couples should be allowed to have the same rights and recognition as male/female couples, then why can't that arguement work for others as well?
It was 'biological' that females have meep with as many males as they can in order to be certain of procreation and all the males gain a vested interest in any offspring. What is going to happen when someone approaches the courts about how they feel that biologically, they are predetermined to be attracted to and love 4 other people and therefore have a right to marry all of them at once? What good reason is there to oppress polygamy or bigamy?
Main Entry: 1special
1 : distinguished by some unusual quality; especially : being in some way superior
2 : held in particular esteem
3 a : readily distinguishable from others of the same category : UNIQUE b : of, relating to, or constituting a species : SPECIFIC
4 : being other than the usual : ADDITIONAL, EXTRA
5 : designed for a particular purpose or occasion
If one is not religious, then one probably does not want to get married for any other reason than a financial benefit. There is not much point, considering the divorce rate. There is no special reason for it. If one is religious and everyone and anyone can marry whomever they like outside the church/synagogue/mosque, then their own marriage is not recognized as special by the rest of the world.
Marriage is no longer defined by the purpose of procreation.
Marriage does not make anyone in any way special.
What is the point in marriage?

Ok I assume that your comments are questioning the purpose of marriage (because you asked at the end of the journal). At first I thought you were going to get all anti-meep marriage on us, because I've heard the "what's to stop polygamy?!?!" argument from some anti-meep marriage folks. Guess what though--in my opinion, you're totally right. What is to stop polygamy? Nothing really. But guess what? As an adult, no one should give a meep. If it's two consenting adults, marry whoever you want, meep who you want, I honestly don't care. I've also heard the horrible argument, "well what's to stop people from marrying animals?!?!" That's a sick argument which makes no sense because it compares the union to two (or more) consenting adults to meeping an animal. Animals, as well as children, don't have the capacity to understand meep and marriage; it's not even close to the same thing. But you ask, "Why marriage?" It's certainly not for everyone, obviously. But for me, I really look forward to it. I will have a woman who I can share life with, who I can travel with, raise children with, be friends with, and whatever else you could add to the list. I know the meep won't last forever, neither will the passion. But that is the change from passionate love into companionate love. There will come a point where instead of desire and meeping, you'll just want someone to be with and to be around. For me, that means one person of the opposite meep. THE END

today is our second anniversary(sp) no one will believe this(unless they're married). we were together 9 years before our wedding, instantly after our vows, i looked at her and thought of her in a deeper, more sweeter way than i could evar imagine. Marriage isn't for everyone, but believe me, it's special and meaningful

Slitstorm's views and/or opinions are not to be confused with those of all Canadians, Gays can marry in Canada because as a populace we couldn't give a meep, we are not enlightened, understanding people, just apathetic.

I think marriage is personal, if it's special to you, then it is special. As for everyone else....no one really cares. You might take a second out of your day to feel sorry for that couple who was really great & didn't make it, but then, oh yeah..my life is more important. So why do we really worry about everyone else? You have to hold your values & beliefs sacred cause we all have our own. As far as polygamy & animal marriages.....I would hope that those 'interesting' people would work out their issues without involving the rest of us, but if not, then I hope It's everything they thought it would be.

Yeah - smoke and have ur smouldering cigarette wedged between a string and the headstock of ur guitar for extra cool effect (whilst playing the guitar obviously - otherwise it'd look meep)
I personally don't smoke, because I'm now really old (28) and not cool enough.

I am fairly sure marriage is just something religious people made up so that they would have more control over yur life. The whole ceremony basically says "OK, you two go meep now, we are cool with you meeping. You have our permission." I do want to point out 2 things:
1) monogamy is not marraige, many animals (you used some sort of example about females sharing the wealth for reproductive success) do for monogamous pairs for life long relationships. This helps keep aggressive males that live in close proximity from fighting over meepes.
2) meep needs to be better defined. I mean, I know meepninja is meep, but is it the same meep as never having babies? Genes that do not getpassed on are not expressed in a phenotype. They go away. meep is a lifestyle choice but some people are too weak to admit that they made the choice.

"meep is a lifestyle choice but some people are too weak to admit that they made the choice. "
How do you figure?? I know that's what my meep friends did, they chose it. They thought to themselves, "The thought of meep with a man physically disgusts me...I'm just going through puberty so I'm akward and no one likes me...I need to invite more bullmeep and hatred into my life, because I don't have enough already."

I would say marriage has no more than traditional significance. Beyond that, most (who are married) would say that it is the ultimate in relationship committment - an almost legal vow of monogamy. Call me old-fashioned, but I see nothing wrong with this. I do agree that the divorce rate has hit a very alarming high. Likewise, there are those out there who "do" make it. I know of a few happily marrried linkswarmers who would vouch for that.
Marriage, from an anthropological standpoint could almost be considered ingrained into our instincts - mainly its promotion of a structured family (this has worked VERY WELL for hundreds, if not thousands, of years). One of the higher points of most marriages is procreation, and it is within the best interest of children to have the right to loving and committed parents, from whom they are most likely to recieve the most developmental benefits. If anything, children are what make it all worthwhile.
If you're so anti-traditional and against marraige, you should move to Hollywood and see how destructive their game of musical beds can be.

Marriage is an evolutionary result of the need to nurture and raise children for 12 years or more before they are capable of looking after themselves in the wild. ( not in a civilised society, this takes about 30 years these days and getting longer! ) It is the direct result of the fact that men fall asleep after meep. They do this so that the tribe can catch them in the woman's bed and know who is the father of any children and therefore who should support those children. As the human species grew more (?) intelligent it formalised this as marriage and eventually made a whole lot of religion-based rules about it. These are pure , unadulterated, bullmeep, but that is only my opinion. Be that as it may, I have been happily married to a wonderful lady for seven and a half years and wouldn't change it for anything. Ghost is correct - the instantaneous change of outlook towards your bride at the moment of the pronouncment is amazing and profound and beautiful.

My simple comment this early Monday morning
I have a cold, a headache & I'm at fukin work! < Thats not my comment, thats just me venting.
:COMMENT: I'm married, love my wife immensely - we have had ups & downs (steady tiger) that we probably wouldn't have survived in the past if wern't married. When we got married she stopped being just my girlfriend and become something closer and more intimate. (Please note all feminists - I do not mean to refer to my wife as an object in that statement - please don't plant a bomb under my car or kill any of my pets - thanks)
