I have to admit, I was going to get all "Aw, I didn't get to play with the fluffy-wuffy trolly-wolly", because "Scalia" as a user name? Please.
However. He's really real, and he really does want you to vote for the hottest Kiwi Female blogger of 2011. What a guy.
Who has, nonetheless, come here and vehemently demonstrated that there is no argument against same-sex marriage. Well done.

Hmm, is that a male or a female pig?
Is it important? After all, if gay marriage is the slippery slope to legalised bestiality I don't think the anatomical configuration of the pig matters.

Until as late as the early 1980s, in England IIRC, a husband could not be convicted of raping his wife
NZ did away with the spousal rape loophole in the 70's. So England's not alone in having an unworthy history on the subject.

I must apologise for my ad hominem ripostes. Actually, must I?

bestiality
That's such a loaded term. I believe interspecies erotica better expresses your love for your
uncle’s cousin’s aunt’s daughter’s husband’s pet pig

Also, the Family First survey is back up. That means we're dealing with a daily bandwidth cap. So, those of you who missed out yesterday...

I thought he was channeling John Goodman in The Big Lebowski. "This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass!" <smashes up the wrong car, the owner comes out, enraged, and retaliates on Lebowski's car>

Until as late as the early 1980s, in England IIRC, a husband could not be convicted of raping his wife because, logically, consistently, he could not steal his own property.
Try a lot closer to home – IIRC, martial rape was not criminalized in New Zealand until 1985.
BTW, a little more fun with Scalia “logic”: I don’t believe landing a 16 year-old with a statutory rape jacket for having consensual, non-violent sex with his (or her) 15 year old boy/girlfriend serves no public good. Does that mean I’m “inconsistent” and hypocritical for having no qualms about the possibility of this chap [WARNING: Link SFW but may be triggering for sexual/physical abuse survivors] spending a very long time in prison. Slippery slopes and all that, because teenage sexual experimentation is just like violent predation and sexual abuse..

No, it's what happens when you meet a stranger in the alps. Which version were you watching?

If one must. How about the fact that the objection would also apply to the time when the instution of marriage was created? Couldn't somebody have said back then well, so long as we're somehow into marrying men and women now, why not men and trees, or dogs are and houses? Amirite?

You are right, we must prohibit marriage.

“Polygamy” refers only to having multiple wives, while “polyandry” denotes multiple husbands.
Not sure if anyone got in here first, but, ObPedant: polygamy refers to having multiple spouses, polygyny is multiple wives, and polyandry is multiple husbands. Polygamy and polygyny are usually conflated, but it’s worth remembering that polygamy is the umbrella term for spouses per se, not just wives.
ETA Good to see the FF survey back up. I was laughing merrily away yesterday, clicking “Strongly Disagree” with gay abandon, when I came up short at a couple of questions that I had to click “Strongly Agree” to. It shook me. It shook me hard.

Now I’m thinking of Mister Universe’s marriage to his lovebot in __Serenity__…
How about this: make a pass in the Turing Test a mandatory prerequisite for a marriage license.
Jack, thanks.

It was a bit like that. “Oh look, a picture of a nanna bra”. ‘Strongly Disagree’. Wait, was that right?

Recommended. A concise insight into their mindset.
Curbing emissions must be the work o the devil. Or it's just a fad if you listen to Bill English.

Typical Franks. He doesn't care about whether the dog loves him...

But since you went there, I wasn’t inclined to bitch Helen Clark for not wanting to have a second go at being opposition leader. Nor was I that surprised that, as it turned out, she repeatedly (and understandably) lied about her intentions to the media in the last weeks of the campaign when a Labour defeat was looking likely.
Clark served her country for 28 years, Key less than ten. Please don't compare their level of commitment or propensity to lie. There is no comparison.

Hmmm Blogspot seems unable to deliver scalianz any more. I wonder why?

Emma's link doesn't seem to work, but this does.
My favourite so far on that page:
"Tiger Woods to Convert to IslamObama’s plan for Sharia Law may benefit someone. [...]"

Was there a point there, Sally, beyond you like Clark and despise Key? And I certainly hope you're not saying there's a long-service pass for politicians being economical with the truth, however understandable that "truthiness" may be.

Curse the time difference:
Damn it. Going +4 is a bit like saying ‘me too’. Yeah, me too.
+5.

Now given the entirely reasonable closure of Keith's thread, where might we discuss PM Gillard's visit to NZ? I'd very much like to discuss the risk that she'll return with her luggage stuffed with kiwi talent.
