You said that wrong - more accurately I have no objection to gov sanctioned homosexual legal unions being exactly the same a gov sanctioned heterosexual legal union. The government should not use the term "marriage" for the situation that describes that legal contract. ...

Wow, it's already Friday and I'm ready to leave marriage and get into my marriage and drive home and eat a nice marriage and then the weekend. Maybe jump from a marriage or go skiing.

I don't see why all this bickering about the loan makers and the loan takers being irresponsible is pertinent A terrible lack of judgment by the government created law that set up the whole mess - and we're bickering why the banks and the people greedily (tried to) took advantage of it? put the blame on the square marked "go" ...

Politicians would immediately make hay with it to advance their personal and partisan efforts. In this case, use it as justification for governement health care and carbon taxes. On the other side, use it to start rebalancing the mix of party representation in Congress.

Blah, blah, blah, your reasonable discussion doesn't matter to the AGW crowd.

When individual military personnel start making $4M we can start making the comparison... don't argue with me, I didn't play that card - and the military is not private industry - if only we had good old Chicago style politics going on - and stripes on government buildings - then we could really see what's happening ...

You're right about that. And, to some degree, about the rest of it. But this discussion, too, is a continuum instead of a teeter-totter. And some folks get escalators that are moving against them to climb. Some manage. But not everyone is capable of it. Doesn't mean they should get all the goodies, though, does it. I'm a bit full of analogies for now. Consider this, if a tiolet does have stripes, and so does the US Capitol, then one might consider that the US Capitol is a form of "tiolet" - which, in another thread the tiolet is something poop on. Which again matches the description of the US Capitol. Now, if the capitol has lighting bolts, then it's very fast (that's what lighting bolts do). One could posit that the Capitol's main purpose is to poop very very quickly and all over the place. I know this post will be turned around on me. I'm ok with that. ...

sorry, that was a bit too long, so I only got through the first bit one might argue - that one of the biggest means to money is responsibility - rather than the reverse which seems to me to be a cop out for this nation - very legit, however, for less developed nations where the poor can't even get a toehold to start a better life. Our minimum standards are high enough for anyone to get a toehold (which they have to decide to use or not). this can now move to why it's unfair for all to be pretty much guaranteed a toehold, while others have an elevator, but that's a different scenario than what you're selling. ...

I'm pretty good with that response but I would like to see gov treat all partnerships equally, and if we are making a change to that (the right thing), then it's also a time to clean up what the treatment entails not remove it all, but take a critical look at it and prune it significantly ...

Unfortunately, it seems as if you can't even attempt to address the fallacies of the story and how it's been "reported" without some folks seeing you as being "partisan." Good point - case in hand one poster in this thread spent his first 4 posts pissing on the OP for nits - without addressing the fallacies of the story at all in his 4th post and 5th post - he neglects to point out fallacies again and, in a typical partisan fashion, starts to lay out argument for why it would be OK for the senator to have this expense for 'security' reasons in his 6th post - he again pisses on the OP for his word usage and then implies extension of the perceive attitude to a whole raft of posters and others of 'questionable' political alliance - though briefly acknowledges another (more entertaining) posters attempts to address the original story's fallacies.... it's fascinating ...

absolutely - if the list of benefits was minimal and fair, then it would not be a big deal to make this short list something that can be handled contractually in the first place.

I think it's a great thing to challenge the particulars. It would be an excellent way to look at every single government benefit to see if it's something they should delete for everybody due to it being a burden or a redistribution that adds no value. Cut the benefit list to a minimum, and only on things that are directly (not inferred) as a default position on property/inheiritance/medicalPOA for unions. Completely delete all the stuff that's just money collection/transfer stuff as these are unequal bias either for or against singles vs couples. ...
