I’m not familiar with Dan Quayle’s values.

So you're saying that marriage is a BAD thing.

Can be.

I guess I just assumed that a red stater like you would be an advocate of "family values".

And what state would that be?

But you actually MEANT that it promotes 'bondage' ( and the real kind- not the bedroom pretend kind).

You must be bored…..

No, I'm a guy that's not sure he wants to have to explain his every move, every mood, every expenditure, and every activity to a woman and he's equally not sure he wants to hear from a woman every time she has something to say until death to us part. That and I simply don't like having to share my cave. Even me and the dog get in each other's way sometimes.

Which makes you, at least on this score, in league with both the Feminists and the MRAs.

You could get a sign and go join a demonstration somewhere.

I have no use at all for feminists (faminazis) and I've already said I'm not a Material Receipt Acknowledgement.

I wasnt suggesting that Dan Quayle was your spokesman.

Just that I wrongly thought that you were miss-speaking the same way he was.

100 years from now a new society will abolish marriage just as slavery was abolished. This will create such a cultural shock that the nation will no longer be unified.

Marriages would be abolished but weddings would not be abolished. Rather than picking up a woman at a bar, lovers would celebrate their love with a wedding ceremony. No marriages per se but weddings every day. Thus we would be like the immortal angels who neither marry nor are given in marriage.

Im for manditory interracial same sex marriage!

And the marriages have to be performed by Imam in a mosque so they pass muster with Shariah Law.

Everyone should be forced to pick someone of the same gender but of another race to marry. But that person can be-whoever you choose! We should be laid back about it. Pick anyone you choose- as long they are the same sex and of a different race, and its done in a mosque by imam.

Is that asking too much?

If I ran things I would make inter racial marriages mandatory as a means to bring racism to an end! Mixed aspie babies ftw!

Great. Are the two brides murdered afterwards by enforcers of Sharia?

By the by, last Summer I was talking to a fellow who was rather active in the politics of his little Odawa band. Like everyone else, the Odawas are moving around the country for job opportunities, marrying whom they please, and are fully integrated into mainstream American society. Which means that the tribe is losing numbers. To be a tribe member, a minimum blood-quantum of 1/4 is required. He is 1/2 Odawa, and his son is 1/4 Odawa. Which means that if his son doesn't marry a member of a federally-recognized tribe, then his grandchildren will be out. (If his son marries, for example, an Apache, then the grandchildren would have to choose between Apache and Odawa). Also, Indians these days are having much smaller families than they used to. Some, some members of the tribe are doing their best to encourage marriages between tribe members, just to keep the tribe going.

I remember reading a while back that some thinkers in Brazil encouraged mixed race marriages in order to lessen the impact of racism and I think in some cases for eugenic reasons. From the very early days interracial marriages were thought of as a good thing. When eugenics became popular in Europe there was even talk of breeding a mixed Brazilian super race with all the genetic heritage it had available. Of course, racism still exists in Brazil like it always has done, in its own subtle ways - at least that's what I've read. The idea still intrigued me.

I also remember reading that the Baha'i faith promote mixed race marriages for spiritual as well as social reasons.

I can see positives and negatives with this:

Positives
Mixed race people are attractive
Hybrid vigour
Interesting cultural synthesis

Negatives
Deliberately promoting it is still a form of eugenics
People will still be racist, even if the whole world was mixed. They'd be racist about which % of what you are mixed with.
People often date within their race for cultural reason, so it would be hard to persuade the majority of people to have mixed-race relationships

So whilst I think it's a good idea, I don't think it will be too difficult to promote as a social policy. I also doubt that it would have the benefits some of its proponent claim it will. I especially doubt it will foster world harmony. It might make society a tiny bit less racist, but I don't know.



Positives
Is not have

Negatives
well, will depend of ingredients that you mix but i believe that when mix two distant races, we destroy recessive positive advantage traits like high intelligence, in my opinion, is a recessive traits.
The majority of mixed people here, is not pretty and is not smart. The real hybrid vigor happen in a minority of people and many collateral effects, in other words, you submit people in a great risk but obviously, the pure race is very problematic also. Great risk to sacrifice majority of people that will born to a minority of people, with less higher intelligence traits.
Embranquecimento
brazilian ''eugenic'' politic based in civilize the country, because in XIX century, minority of population was white and the majority was the black slaves and mixed people, intermediary betwen the luso elite and the slaves. By mass european immigration, specially of the italians, portugueses and spaniards between 1850 to 1950. ''Eugenic'' brazilian (joke) believed in a ideia that ''white genes'' was dominant than ''black genes'' (lack of genetic knowledge obviously) by ''racist'' conclusions and created the mixed-race culture.
When whites marry other non-whites in the near future, the blacks specially, will disappear of the population because the ''white genes'' are dominant (and superior, 0% of genetic knowledge) than ''black genes''.
Result,
Brazil
:(
