Dear Sasha,

Just as there have always been and likely will always be "traditional" couples who have eschewed legal matrimony, so there are gays who feel the same way,

No surprise (for me, anyway) there.

Here's the crux of the matter:

"I'm not saying that people who want that shouldn't have it but for me, all that matters is the legal stuff.""

Having equal rights and the choice.

Regards,
John

Dear Sasha,

You're not really twisting, you're just getting ahead of history a bit.

Not too long from now, there will be many such "traditional gay couples."

I'm a little surprised a Hegelian such as I (perhaps incorrectly) suppose you to be is trying to go against the tide of history Very Happy

Regards,
John

Dear Johnslat

This is not the tide of History. These are just the last few days of decadence before the utterly corrupt Piggie system finally destroys itself by eating away at its own debased supports. Then you will see real History asserting itself and true brotherly love will reign over a peaceful and contented world - a global Communist utopia.


Regards

Inevitability Sasha

Dear Sasha,

" . . . true brotherly love . . "

OK, gay/bisexual is fine, but I draw the line at incest Very Happy.

Dear Johnslat

But why? It's OK to discriminate against incestuous lovers but nobody else? I feel a legal challenge coming on....


Regards

Sophistic Sasha

Dear Sasha,

If all men are brothers, would you want your sister to many one? Very Happy

Yes, I draw lines - if I didn't, how could you read between them?

Regards,

John

Comrade Sasha
Do you think it’s the beginning of the end of the American civilisation?

No, no, no. It is the beginning of the end everywhere. Except for the Motherland, of course. Hic!

If I were you guys, I'd sell all your stock, the farm, everything, and head over to Russia right now - the only land where freedom and democracy truly reign. You could invest in a nice bijou nuclear bunker to hide out in. They are all the rage now. Word is that Snowden has already bought one and is very satisfied with it.
