California Legislature OKs gay marriage bill

[Psycho4Bud]

Well, why should married couples receive those benefits but not unmarried couples? You shouldn't be forced to make a vow of monogamy to get them if you don't want to.

You know how much that would cost employers to sponsor health care if all ya had to do was have someone move in to your house?
The "norm" married couple also involves kids....another reason for the health care, ssi thing.
How could anybody detect fraud. You find out you have 6 months left to live and have some chick with 4 kids move in, should she be entitled to SSI and health care benefits because you said what the fuck?

Do you know how much money employers have? A lot more than the rest of society. As long as the capitalists are exploiting us and making all this money off our labor, I think we need to demand everything we can get back in return until we can defeat them. The more value we can get out of our stolen labor, the better.

So do lots of unmarried couples. The relationship between the parents isn't what is important. It's the kids.

Well, there aren't too many people who know they have only 6 months left to live, so I wouldn't worry about that particular scenario becoming widespread. And if they were really devoted to committing this fraud under the current rules, I'm sure they could easily arrange a cheap sham wedding. And besides, the only reason people need special "health care benefits" is because capitalism only provides medical service to those who can afford it, which is truly a shame. We have the physical ability to treat everybody's medical conditions the same no matter what class they're in, but poor people die all the time because they were born into poverty and the capitalists in charge think it's okay to deny them medical service because of that.

the unconstitutional federal reserve is the root of poverty...it was designed to create poverty, which obviously creates crime, which is a real good problem for the government to step in and resolve, which only makes the problem worse.

war on drugs, more drugs...war on poverty, more poverty...war on terror, more terror...war on illiteracy, more illiteracy. in the government's eyes this is success. this is what they want. whatever we claim a war on, the feds say "we can solve that!"...let us just take some of your rights, so we can protect you better.

history shows what happens to those kinds of societies eventually.

that's our problem.

You think Mr. Big is going to take a hit? Hell no!!! He'll role the cost back to you with a price hike on the goods. You can pay for it, I really don't want to.

And the kids are entitled to the health care that the other parent has, but not the partner.

I work in a hospital, don't even try to tell me that very few know how long they have left. I just buried a good friend two weeks back that was informed just that back in October of last year. R.I.P. Cherokee!!!He was a hell of a good man!!!

Why is it that advancements in gay rights and fascist deaths happen at about the same time?

Strom "Sir Lynch-a-Lot" Thurmond died the same week as the USSC's Lawrence V. Texas decision, and now William RehnKKKuist has joined him in Hell.

This is one of the most idiotic statements I've seen on this board. Hmmn, is someone a bit homophobic?

If you think about it, this might cause a decrease in the transmission of HIV. HIV is transmitted by casual sex with a lot of different people. Not by sex with one person in a legally binding monogamous relationship. Duh..

you know that that's makor, right?
