[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 341654, member: 9789"] Maybe I didn't write my thoughts down clearly enough.... I will give it another shot! Marriage is a very personal thing. Any relationship or marriage is only as sacred as two individuals hold it to be. You can't define what is right for me and I can't define what is right for you. How we think about each other's values does not make one better than the other or more right or more wrong! No matter what we believe and value, there is a norm that society holds to. Outside that norm there is a grey or muddy area that society may not agree with but it tolerates. Every society (micro to macro) has it's own value system or set of what it believes or holds to be normal. As we move into the future, value systems will change. Our "tolerance" to smoking has diminished over the years. There are more and more laws and taxes on tobacco with every year that passes. In the future, if you do not act environmentally friendly (thinking green) will not be tolerated by society as a whole. Cell phone etiquette is changing every day. There is less tolerance and more laws! Maybe in China, having more than one child is not tolerated any more? I don't know! But I do know that 5 - 10 - 20 years from now society will hold a different view on many, many issues - Gay & Lesbian marriage has been and will be one of those issues. Discrimination is not a bad word. It is what we do to make choices. Every decision we make is some sort of discrimination. I will choose to be non-judgmental when it comes to someone else's relationship or marriage. It boils down to what two (maybe more LOL) consenting adults do behind closed doors. Why is it my business??? Why is it California's business? [/QUOTE]
