I was actually considering something like this. But for student loans with a friend. Pretty neat way to exploit new marriage laws

[Dad]

Is it an open relationship and how does "infidelity" work?

Murphy, 83, intended to leave in his will to O’Sullivan, 58, who is his carer.

 

Guessing the former is focused on other things right now

To be fair, true friendship is the best kind of love.

Did they consummate the marriage?

Hi bby

[Dad]

Hi bby

 

I'm gonna need you to back back from moms.

 

 

Did they consummate the marriage?

 

I doubt it considering their ages.  But you never know.

Facts.

"Heterosexual" indeed. This is the gayest thing I've ever heard.

[Dad]

Wait.  The article is gay?  Hmm.  Does this mean we need to start taking into account the sexual preferences of our documents?  This may be a new level of life.

[~ P O L A R I S ~]

Damn straight, and by straight I mean gay. Once one becomes enlightened, perceiving the sexual orientation of a blade of grass or a grain of sand becomes as natural as breathing the bisexual air around us.

This is a new level of shitpost and I'm only allowing it cuz I laughed.

 

Let's. . .get back on topic.  lmfao

[SkaterTheDJWolf]

Well, that’s one way to do stuff.

 

It doesn’t count as romance if it was done on paper without any fancy ceremonies to dodge taxes, in my opinion.

[Snatch Steal]

So they married to avoid property tax, and got a news article to say they’re both heterosexual so it’s not gay when they Smash? These guys are experts

[SkaterTheDJWolf]

Did anyone say they would do unethical activities? They only did it to dodge taxes

[Snatch Steal]

Those are some choice words and I'm curious as to your elaboration upon them

[Dad]

Unethical as in?

[BillysBadFurDay]

yea might as well screw the system that is constantly screwing us over.

Oh look, it's the Boston Legal finale. (In Ireland)

But I think the most important question is, will they have cake and will a bakery bake one for them?

People are allowed to have different opinions?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronological_snobbery

 

A logical argument (and usually when thus termed, considered an outright fallacy) describing the erroneous argument that the thinking, art, or science of an earlier time is inherently inferior to that of the present, simply by virtue of its temporal priority.

 

It could also be seen as unethical because you're trampling on what some see as a sacred union to fuel avarice. 

 

Tolerance and Empathy are often tested when we have to confront people we disagree with. That's a  2-way street

So because someone sees something else as sacred, two men can't get married?

 

Isn't that in and of itself unethical?

Well I never said that; I said some people might see using marriage to fuel avarice as unethical 

 

I think my parents marrying each other to take advantage of a tax reform legislation and getting divorced multiple times to minimize their tax burden is unethical for example.

 

They clearly don't give a flying sheet about the institution, there's no need to make a mockery of it when others hold it dear...etc

 

But that's just my thoughts, nobody else has to live by my convictions

As for your question. Depends on the ethics framework you're using.

I'm merely saying that ethics, in general, are bullshit.  It comes down to someone's precious feelings and we don't need that in law.

Utilitarianism can be objective

 

Regardless, this is meant to be a humorous topic. I'm sorry I've helped it metastasize a bit

You've never felt ashamed for loving as you do? Dirty, wrong and sick? If not, then you must try it! Each thrash is intensified by inward tension, each moan amplified by the devastating desecration of earnestly-internalized scripture. In fact, most churchgoers are perverted sex addicts working themselves up for feverish sessions of the sinfulness Christ died for.

 

Merry Christmas!
