| Sigh...really? Look, for many cultures - marriage aren't about love (or aren't solely about love) - this is very much a Western/modern thing. For them, marriages are part of society - a married couples has responsibilities to the society. And the family unit, and raising children are a big part of it. You need to look outside your own experiences. That's what I don't get about this whole fracas. You have all these people on HN screaming and jumping up and down, saying EICHS IS A BIGOT! ONLY MY VIEWPOINT IS CORRECT! IT'S SO OBVIOUS?!!!! Well, if they were as "big-minded" as they claim, then they'd see that there many people with differing opinions to you. Shock! I think this poster said it best (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7526663) Don't support welfare? You're against poor people.
Support welfare? You're against the working man.
You're pro-choice? You're against babies.
You're pro-life? You're against women. |
