Marriage is an antiquated and outdated system. Statistically divorce is highly likely and thus marriage is also a very costly endeavour. Why not just stay girlfriend and boyfriend for a long time and when your relationship no longer works, go seperate ways?

Why not marry when you can divorce so easily? ;D ;D ;D
Seriously, you pay less taxes, can get money from the state when you get kids, the kids' life gets easier viewed from the law side of life, you can get one health insurace for two...
Marriage may be outdated in the over-individualistic societies of the west, but they are essential to societies where family bonds are important and the social grip is strong. In all of asia, marriage is more a connection of two families than just two people.
Marriage is a good thing, in many aspects. The problem is that many people don't see that when they marry. They are too selfish. ;)

Ah...entitlements. ::) As a Libertarian I find tax benefits for married people and things like Kindergeld and all the other nonsense utterly ridiculous. And that is why gay marriage, for example, is such an issue because everyone wants a piece of the pie and everyone is clawing for the benefits. Marriage should have no benefits and no drawbacks in terms of government doling out freebees. Why should two people pay less tax because they are married? Total nonsense. I don't care whether people get married or not, though I do not want to do so myself, rather long term partnership seems more plausible, but I do care that people have special privileges because of their married status.

Grinsende Koepfe zaehlen nicht als adaequate Antwort. Also lasse mich Dich direkt fragen, was Du philosophisch von diesen ganzen Verguenstigungen haelst. Ich kann nur annehmen, dass Du sie gutheisst, denn Du hast sie als Erstes zur Untermauerung des Arguments fuer die Gueltigkeit der ehelichen Sitte erwaehnt.

I'm married, so my view is biased. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Sure i love paying less taxes. ;D ;D ;D
If the state wants to congratulate me to finding my beautiful wife, he might do so. ;D ;D

Dem Englischen fehlt grammatisches Geschlecht, deswegen heisst der Staat 'das Staat' auf Englisch, also 'it' nicht 'he'.
Nichtdestotrotz hast Du keinerlei philosophischen Standpunkt vertreten. Wo liegst Du denn ueberhaupt politisch?

Der Kaiser ist ja schliesslich ein Gott. Dafuer, dass Du Politik studierst, verwundert es mich, dass Du keine feste Meinung diesbezueglich hast.

Der Kaiser ist ja schliesslich ein Gott. Dafuer, dass Du Politik studierst, verwundert es mich, dass Du keine feste Meinung diesbezueglich hast.
Das mit dem Kaiser und Gott ist ein Missverstaendnis, da 1 zu 1 von Christen uebertragen. In der japanischen Mythologie gibt es eine Myriade [yaorozu (八百万)] Gottheiten (kami).
Jeder Japaner wird nach seinem Tod ein kami, und der Kaiser ist ein direkter Nachfahre der Sonnengoetting Amaterasu O-mikami. Das gleubt aber keiner heutzutage...
Vielleicht kann ich mich gerade deswegen nicht festlegen, WEIL ich Politik studiere?
Politik ist abhaengig vom jeweiligen Landesgefuege, es gibt keine POLITIK, die ueberall funktioniert. Insgesamt bin ich eher konservativ, denke ich. Zuviele Schmarotzer, Kulturbanausen und Idioten hier, da braucht es eine starke Hand um das Chaos im Zaum zu halten. ;D

Das stimmt alles, aber gerade in Deutschland geht alles den Bach herunter, weil es sich zum Schmarotzerstaat entwickelt hat, und wie ich schon erwaehnt habe, sind die Leute auf allen gesellschaftlichen Ebenen abhaengig vom Sozialstaat geworden. Ich kann mich noch der Zeit erinnern, als ich in Bonn studiert habe, zu der alle Studenten durch die Strassen hin und her stuermten, erbost wegen Studiengebuehren, dass sie alle ab einem gewissen Semester ein paar hundert Euro zahlen mussten. Give me a fucking break. Alles wollen sie kostenlos haben. Dies wird langsam zum Rant, aber ehrlich gesagt, bricht der Sozialstaat gerade zusammen.

Cool story, congrats! And best wishes.

Never thought I'd see a feel-good story on Getbig. Best wishes and congratulations to both of you.

Contrats Joe and Lori!
Joe, I love to debate you on politics because, well, I'd argue the sky is blue just because I love to argue. But you're a genuine guy and one of the hardest working people I've ever met. I wish the two of you the best for many years ahead!

Rob
. How to argue effectively
I argue very well. Ask any of my remaining friends. I can win an argument on any topic, against any opponent. People know this and steer clear of me at parties. Often, as a sign of their great respect, they don't even invite me. You too can win arguments. Simply follow these rules:
Drink liquor.
Suppose you are at a party and some hotshot intellectual is expounding on the economy of Peru, a subject you know nothing about. If you're drinking some health-fanatic drink like grapefruit juice, you'll hang back, afraid to display your ignorance, while the hotshot enthralls your date. But if you drink several large martinis, you'll discover you have STRONG VIEWS about the Peruvian economy. You'll be a WEALTH of information. You'll argue forcefully, offering searing insights and possibly upsetting furniture. People will be impressed. Some may leave the room.
Make things up.
Suppose, in the Peruvian economy argument, you are trying to prove that Peruvians are underpaid, a position you base solely on the fact that YOU are underpaid, and you'll be damned if you're going to let a bunch of Peruvians be better off. DON'T say: "I think Peruvians are underpaid." Say instead: "The average Peruvian's salary in 1981 dollars adjusted for the revised tax base is $1,452.81 per annum, which is $836.07 before the mean gross poverty level."
NOTE: Always make up exact figures.
If an opponent asks you where you got your information, make THAT up too. Say: "This information comes from Dr. Hovel T. Moon's study for the Buford Commission published on May 9, 1982. Didn't you read it?" Say this in the same tone of voice you would use to say, "You left your soiled underwear in my bathroom."
Use meaningless but weighty-sounding words and phrases.
Memorize this list:
Let me put it this way
In terms of
Vis-a-vis
Per se
As it were
Qua
Ipso facto
Ergo
So to speak
You should also memorize some Latin abbreviations such as "Q.E.D.", "e.g.", and "i.e." These are all short for "I speak Latin, and you don't." Here's how to use these words and phrases. Suppose you want to say, "Peruvians would like to order appetizers more often, but they don't have enough money."
You never win arguments talking like that. But you WILL win if you say, "Let me put it this way. In terms of appetizers vis-a-vis Peruvians qua Peruvians, they would like to order them more often, so to speak, but they do not have enough money per se, as it were. Ergo, ipso facto, case closed. Q.E.D."
Only a fool would challenge that statement.
Use snappy and irrelevant comebacks.
You need an arsenal of all-purpose irrelevant phrases to fire back at your opponents when they make valid points. The best are:
You're begging the question.
You're being defensive.
Don't compare apples to oranges.
What are your parameters?
This last one is especially valuable. Nobody (other than engineers and policy wonks) has the vaguest idea what "parameters" means.
Don't forget the classic: YOU'RE SO LINEAR.
Here's how to use your comebacks:
You say: As Abraham Lincoln said in 1873...
Your opponent says: Lincoln died in 1865.
You say: You're begging the question.
You say: Liberians, like most Asians...
Your opponent says: Liberia is in Africa.
You say: You're being defensive.
You say: Since the discovery of the incandescent light bulb...
Your opponent says: The light bulb is an invention.
You say: Well DUH!
Compare your opponent to Adolf Hitler.
This is your heavy artillery, for when your opponent is obviously right and you are spectacularly wrong. Bring Hitler up subtly. Say, "That sounds suspiciously like something Adolf Hitler might say," or "You certainly do remind me of Adolf Hitler."

Thanks guys, appreciate all the well wishes. I figured since we met on here it would be appropriate to post it here. If we didn't meet on here it wouldn't be a big deal!
The only other marriage that I could think of that happend on here is Derik Farnsworth.

do you know how they calculate the divorce rate here in the U.S. if you do than you know that the divorce rate is greatly exaggerated

Because we are both Christians, we felt guilty for living in sin and wanted to make it right!

Did you invite any Getbig.com celebrities to the reception? Did Yaroni Avidan conduct the ceremony?
Who will be the next couple to meet off of Getbig.com? What marriage do we predict will happen next?
BuffGoddess and SiouxCountry?
Derek Anthony and spotter?

That was actually the first thing I thought. They make each other look better together than they would normally appear apart. And you've gotta think that if their looks compliment each other's that their personalities would as well.

They look like the male and female equivalent of each other.
Usually you'll see one part of a pairing that's a little "ehh.."
Not so in this case.

um God said divorce is a sin. you already sined when you were granted a divorce.

Really? Show me where it says divorce is a sin. It's a sin if adultry if adultry is involved and if thats the case, divorce would be appropriate it can also be interpreted if there was abuse....and there was. Either way, God does hate divorce, but in certain circumstances it is granted but divorce itself is not a sin.

I grew up in church because my father is a Sunday school teacher I had that stuff shoved down my throat all my life..that's probably why I don't go to church now...but anyway... one thing I have learned is, most everything in the Bible is open for interpretation.As long as you and your wife are happy that's all that matters.She is beautiful, by the way. congrats again.

Oh the Irony......Mr.Intensenon e marries what appears to be an Immigrant, of Mexican Indian descent somewhere along the genetic tree. They are truly Self-Loathing paradoxes, these ilk. I feel especially sympathetic towards the young Mentally Challenged male that has to subjected to such brutal Ignorance from his new father.
Sad Situation this is.

better than a jew/wasp wannabe who spouts rhetoric and other peoples well thought quotes,your nothing but a plagarist.

I only hope this brings Joe to an ephiphany that Mexicans are people too and should be treated with the same politesse equally.

I just think it's hysterically funny; devout Christians worried about living in sin, injecting Trenbolone, Primobolan, gulping down Halotestin, etc....just fucking hilarious. :D

Religion has helped mold Joe into a very good citizen and man in general...But to truly see how great he truly is, he will have to break free of the chains of Worship
this is a step in the right direction

Yep. He definitely existed. Son of God? I don't know. I was raised to believe that...just don't know if I do. If there is a God, why does so many bad things happen to good people? This is the stumbling block for me. My Uncle was pastor of our church growing up, and I watched him die a painfull, miserable death from colon cancer . He went from 235 lbs down to nothin' and he was praising God right to the very end. That is hard to understand for me. :-\

With everything that has happend to me in the past years I have learned to believe this.....
This is one of the most difficult questions for Christians to answer.
The "problem of pain," as the well-known Christian scholar, C.S. Lewis, once called it, is atheism's most potent weapon against the Christian faith.
All true science and history, if rightly understood, support the fact of God. This evidence is so strong that, as the Bible says: "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God" (Psalm 14:1).
Most atheists, therefore, without any objective evidence on which to base their faith in "no God", must resort finally to philosophical objections. And this problem of suffering is the greatest of these.
That is, they say, how can a God of love permit such things in His world as war, sickness, pain, and death, especially when their effects often are felt most keenly by those who are apparently innocent? Either He is not a God of love and is indifferent to human suffering, or else He is not a God of power and is therefore helpless to do anything about it. In either case, the Biblical God who is supposedly one of both absolute power and perfect love becomes an impossible anachronism. Or so they claim!
This is a real difficulty, but atheism is certainly not the answer, and neither is agnosticism. While there is much evil in the world, there is even more that is good. This is proved by the mere fact that people normally try to hang on to life as long as they can. Furthermore, everyone instinctively recognizes that "good" is a higher order of truth than "bad".
We need also to recognize that our very minds were created by God. We can only use these minds to the extent that He allows, and it is, therefore, utterly presumptuous for us to use them to question Him and His motives.
"Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?" (Genesis 18:25).
"Shall the thing formed say to Him that formed it, why hast Thou made me thus?" (Romans 9:20).
We ourselves do not establish the standards of what is right. Only the Creator of all reality can do that. We need to settle it, in our minds and hearts, whether we understand it or not, that whatever God does is, by definition, right.
Having settled this by faith, we are then free to seek for ways in which we can profit spiritually from the sufferings in life as well as the blessings. As we consider such matters, it is helpful to keep the following great truths continually in our minds.
There is really no such thing as the "innocent" suffering.
Since "all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23), there is no one who has the right to freedom from God's wrath on the basis of his own innocence.
As far as babies are concerned, and others who may be incompetent mentally to distinguish right and wrong, it is clear from both Scripture and universal experience that they are sinners by nature and thus will inevitably become sinners by choice as soon as they are able to do so.
The world is now under God's Curse (Genesis 3:17) because of man's rebellion against God's Word.
This "bondage of corruption," with the "whole world groaning and travailing together in pain" (Romans 8:21, 22), is universal, affecting all men and women and children everywhere. God did not create the world this way, and one day will set all things right again. In that day, "God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain" (Revelation 21:4).
Learn about how much Jesus Christ sufferedThe Lord Jesus Christ, who was the only truly "innocent" and "righteous" man in all history, nevertheless has suffered more than anyone else who ever lived.
And this He did for us! “Christ died for our sins” (I Corinthians 15:3). He suffered and died, in order that ultimately He might deliver the world from the Curse, and that, even now, He can deliver from sin and its bondage anyone who will receive Him in faith as personal Lord and Savior. This great deliverance from the penalty of inherent sin, as well as of overt sins, very possibly also assures the salvation of those who have died before reaching an age of conscious choice of wrong over right.
With our full faith in God's goodness and in Christ's redemption, we can recognize that our present sufferings can be turned to His glory and our good.
The sufferings of unsaved men are often used by the Holy Spirit to cause them to realize their needs of salvation and to turn to Christ in repentance and faith. The sufferings of Christians should always be the means of developing a stronger dependence on God and a more Christ-like character, if they are properly "exercised thereby" (Hebrews 12:11).
Thus, God is loving and merciful even when, "for the present," He allows trials and sufferings to come in our lives.
“For we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28).

jesus died for our sins

While there is much evil in the world, there is even more that is good. This is proved by the mere fact that people normally try to hang on to life as long as they can.
What a crock of shit. To disprove the theory that pain and pleasure somehow cancel each other out, all you have to do is compare the pleasure of an animal eating another animal to the pain felt by the animal being eaten, and that life is hardwired with a survival instinct is more of an argument that the world is painfilled. Without that instinct, most people would check out.
Congrats on the marriage, Joe!

Thank you for the congrats :)
Do you really believe that there is not more good than evil?

We met on here almost 4 years ago, got married Dec 8, 2007.........a Special thanks to Jimmy (Vikingpower) for introducing us. When we met I was "Intenseone" she is "Chamorrita"
No comment on Jimmy :D But congrats bigtime Joe!!! I hope you two all the best!

Phyical Pain was encoded into our DNA so we could survive...Emotion pain was something that was a learnt behavior out of fear...
A monkey loses a mate and becomes depressed and feels emotional pain because the monkey has zero clue where the dead mate went to...It just knows that its not with him anymore and it feels pain..
Emotional and phyical pain can both be manipulated, surpressed to a point where its almost impossible to locate in our dna...It may be millions of years down the road but for sure its possible...Eliminate all forms of fear and that will put a strangle hold on emotional pain...
-
Oh the Irony......Mr.Intensenon e marries what appears to be an Immigrant, of Mexican Indian descent somewhere along the genetic tree. They are truly Self-Loathing paradoxes, these ilk. I feel especially sympathetic towards the young Mentally Challenged male that has to subjected to such brutal Ignorance from his new father.
Sad Situation this is.
if im not mistaken your girlfriend is a puta too
-
Great looking family Joe........ again congrats and enjoy it while it last ;D
-
Congratulations! May you two enjoy life, pleasures and great experiences. Some of us know that marriage is worth it, actually many of us are married (myself 14 years), and truly wonderful. Sometimes it doesnt work out, and you start again. I have know a lot of second marriages (for whatever reasons) that are into the 20th+ years now.
As for Jesus, of course he existed. Texts, scholars, and more is proof to that. As for whether he was more than a normal Jewish man, that arguement is still going on for 1,700+ years, ever since the new testament was written. And one day, more documents will be unearthed. Never the less, use the Religion board for those type of arguements.
As for TA, sometimes ignorance is not bliss. Travel the world a little, learn about life and cultures instead of just living in a little box. You may learn that people are individuals. Judge each one instead of a whole group.
It had been a whirwind year. For Joe and Lori, again, it is your lives that matter.

You might wanna rethink that: http://www.nobeliefs.com/exist.htm (http://www.nobeliefs.com/exist.htm)
No matter what your religious views are, the existence of a historical Jesus has almost no reliable evidence of the kind historians generally require for any other historical account.

I'll bet I pull up more atheists (and yes, these are scientists) that were made believers than you can of people that are were not.
Start with Lee Strobel "The Case For Christ"
A quick bio.....
Atheist-turned-Christian Lee Strobel, the former award-winning legal editor of The Chicago Tribune, is a New York Times best-selling author of nearly twenty books and has been interviewed on numerous national television programs, including ABC’s 20/20, Fox News, and CNN.
Described by the Washington Post as “one of the evangelical community’s most popular apologists,” Lee shared the prestigious Charles “Kip” Jordon Christian Book of the Year award in 2005 for a curriculum he co-authored about the movie The Passion of the Christ. He also has won awards for his books The Case for Christ, The Case for Faith, The Case for a Creator, and Inside the Mind of Unchurched Harry and Mary.
Lee was educated at the University of Missouri (Bachelor of Journalism degree, 1974) and Yale Law School (Master of Studies in Law degree, 1979). He was a professional journalist for 14 years at The Chicago Tribune and other newspapers, winning Illinois’ top honors for investigative reporting (which he shared with a team he led) and public service journalism from United Press International.
After a nearly two-year investigation of the evidence for Jesus, Lee received Christ as his forgiver and leader in 1981. He joined the staff of Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington, IL, in 1987, and later became a teaching pastor there. He joined Saddleback Valley Community Church in Lake Forest, CA, as a teaching pastor in 2000. He left Saddleback’s staff in mid-2002 to focus on writing. He is also a contributing editor and columnist for Outreach magazine.
Lee’s other books include God’s Outrageous Claims, The Case for Christmas, The Case for Easter, What Jesus Would Say, Exploring the Da Vinci Code (co-authored with Garry Poole) and Surviving a Spiritual Mismatch in Marriage, which he wrote with his wife, Leslie. For two seasons, Lee was executive producer and host of the weekly national network television program Faith Under Fire.
Lee is also co-author of the Becoming a Contagious Christian training curriculum, which is used around the world, and his articles have been published in a variety of magazines, including Discipleship Journal, Marriage Partnership, The Christian Research Journal, Guideposts, and Decision. He has appeared on such national radio programs as The Bible Answer Man and Focus on the Family. In addition, he has taught First Amendment law at Roosevelt University.
Lee and Leslie have been married for 33 years and live in Southern California. Their daughter, Alison, is novelist whose second book will be published in 2006 by WaterBrook Press, a division of Random House. Their son, Kyle, is currently earning his third master’s degree at the Talbot School of Theology; his first book is forthcoming from Baker Books.

You know, since i got married that's the one thing i make sure i continue doing and i also have NEVER turned him down when he wants sex...and no, it's not because i want something either, i just figure if he wants it and he's not getting it from me he can find it anywhere so i try to do my best to avoid that. Then if he ever does cheat on me, i can be the 3% that can say "well, it's not because i did not put out".

Funny you may ask that because in my original post i had that in there but found it unappropriate and didn't think anyone would care that i do (plus i've said it before in other threads) so i erased it. Obviously WE do care :-*...it's very important, huh? :P

It seems like you are looking at sex more as an instrument, rather than a way of loving your partner to the fullest.
Way to go ::)
-
Nah, kinda doubt it, we want kids right away. Unless I did this for a living there is no reason to put out a ton of money for a with no return on investment.
Good luck with being married and have fun fornicating!
ps: Does god watch you when you're having sex?

So...married AND having sex against your will. Unless you're saying you automatically want sex every single time your husband does.
Sounds like slavery to me. :-\
As for Joe...congrats, but is there still time for you back out with a quickie divorce? You know, without having to pay through the nose. I pity you Joe, as I'd rather stick a fork in my eye than get married.
-

Where in the world in my quote does it say that it is against my will? I said he wants it, i give it...not a problem. We are also at that age where we both can read eachother (unlike other YOUNG folk) and he has never tried when i have been sound asleep, sick as a dog and so on. As for "automatically wanting sex every single time my husband does", come on you know thats not true but if more girls would take about 60 seconds to relax they would be surprised what comes next and how good it feels.
Understand?
Lisa

I'm never getting married. I have decided that it will be cheaper and easier to just find a woman that I hate, and then buy her a house.

You stupid WHORE...
If you give your husband pussy even when you don't want to you are a sex slave. You dumb ####...I hope he forces himself on you again and pounds you with all 3 inches tonight even if you have a "headache".
There's nothing that makes more fun than a woman that doesn't want sex yet does it.
It gives her husband the feeling of a 20 buck hooker. maybe he needs that. On the other hand, we all know how not interesting something gets when you can have it whenever you want. Men need to fight for something, at least a bit. ;D ;D

He's in the military and has been in for 18+ years so maybe i am just a hooker to him...by the way, he's been "all over" the world and he just said i'm worth 25 bucks. :-*

Don't feel bad Lisa, Benny Blanco is used to the skanks down the "Jersey Shore" giving him attitude and him having to get them drunk to have sex; you know the classy dames who talk real loud, flip the bird and swear more than a construction worker. You are a special breed that North Jersey punks don't understand.

That ain't what you said the first time, you stupid, fish-smelling CUNNT. You stated that you gave your husband sex whether you wanted it or not, to keep him from straying. Firstly, you are a WH0RE who provides sexual gratification for your husband even though you don't want it. Probably simply because he keeps a roof over your head,the rational of a WH0RE. Secondly, you are a dumb CUNNT because you provide all the foul smelling pussy your husband wants from you, however if he wants to stray he will stray for the thrill of something new, taboo, and not so easily obtainable. You are the definition of dumb, foul-smelling CUNNT who deserves the 3 inches of forced lovin' you get every night.
Why would I have any more questions for the likes of you? Idiot.
Sounds like someone has some mommy issues. Seriously, who cares. Most guys would kill for a gf/wife like this. Men stray because they don't get it when they want it so why not take that out of the equation. She's not getting raped, her hubby whips it out and she figures she might get an orgasm so goes with it.
