And yeah, automatic weapons exist because most soldiers aren't exactly marksmen.

Full auto capability is a necessity at times.
Definitely so with machine guns.

That form is broken. I can't send my report to the internet police. Where's the form to complain about the form not working?

It's clearly not all I talk about but it is an area in which I have great interest. It is typical for people with asperger's syndrome to have intense interests and this is mine.

Well, actually they are forcing it on to us. They may now tell people that churches and other organisations that perform marriages will still have the freedom to reject what they call 'gay marriage', but if the history of such movements is anything to go by (and it is), within a couple of years they will be screaming "BIGOTRY!" at anyone who, in clear conscience, finds such... 'arrangements', let's call them, objectionable and wrong. Then will come the laws that will prohibit the free expression of opposition to these so-called marriages.

And yet, polygamy is still avoided by most churches with nary a complainer from either side. Polygamists have pretty much stayed away from "forcing" others to perform their marriages. It is the same with the few churches that still oppose interracial marriages. Don't underestimate the influence of almost 250 years of First Amendment interpretation.

Only time will tell, but I think you are very wrong about this. I know that Christian fundamentalists are good at creating false outrage about being under attack, but that is simply crazy talk...

comparing polygamy to regular marriage is a flawed comparison at best; if a monogamous marriage with kids breaks up, it's husband vs wife on who might get the kids. with a polygamous marriage you've got however many parents for the kids, and it becomes wife vs wife vs wife vs husband when divorce rolls around.

That would be no different than when four grandparents and a few aunts and uncles get involved in child custody during or after a divorce where one or both parents are determined to have mistreated the child(ren). Besides, in my state, at least, apart from any law which would remove children from one or more parents, children remain with their biological parents if such parents exist.

If you honestly believe that in this country, the law can compell clergy to perform religious ceremonies, you're going to need a thicker tinfoil hat.
