Should Divorce Be Banned?

[ptsmmrs]

i am divorced and im glad,i couldnt imagine being forced to stay in that marriage...i will never get married again.

[NostalgicMemory01]

if divorce was banned that wouldn't really make sense in america. america agreed to separate the state from the church so the bible shouldn't be brought up i guess in courts or anything. if divorce was banned that's like asking two ppl who probably been through a lot of pain and betrayal and who hate each other to still stay married even if they don't want to.

[cloudian159]

@NostalgicMemory01

im sorry to point this out but there is no separation of church and state. we say there is but there really isn't. most of our laws are based in religious teachings, when you go to court you do have to swear on the bible, our national anthom refers to god. our money has in god we trust printed and stamped on it. i could keep going but i don't think its needed. separation of church and state is a lie we all fell for and most people are to ignorant to accept as it really is.

[civilarchangel]

@cloudian159 there is separation of church and state, but no one take it seriously.

[Boudiga]

I'm shocked how few people get the whole point of what the divorce ban was about. It was pointing out that those who claim marriage is sacrate and for religious reasons they choose to vote against gay marriage then they should feel just equally obligated to vote against divorce. Hell jesus never even mentions gays but he had alot to say about divorce. All the good christians should be happy at the thought of divorce being banned anywhere! So what would jesus do? He would be banning divorce!

[LaReinaDelBarrio]

If LGBT cannot marry, nobody should be able to. Thos who voted to take our rights away will be begging for this to be repealed. They think its for hurting gays, silly breeders. We will be eating popcorn and each other watching the murder rate go up among heteros. If this passes, you lose. IF it doesn't. you still lose.

[azahgena]

100% agree

[zenwebdev]

what a dumbass. that's a constitutional no-go.

[Duobitdezo]

Then people will get divorced out of the state.

If you marry the right person and do your duty as a wife or husband then you should be fine.

[azahgena]

it doesn't work that way.......... cant get divorce in another state if you didnt have your marriage in that state

[Boudiga]

I hate to say it, but you can get a divorce any where, even another country. Celebrities in the 50s back when they had stricter divorce policies, would go to Mexico to get divorce. It was easier, cheaper and quicker too.

[cowpacino]

Should divorce be banned?

I thought slavery was outlawed

[macman851]

Absolutely its Biblical. If this is where you want to go, conservatives, then what is the friggin problem? Oh, now all of a sudden you want separation form church and state?

OH, YOU JUST WANT WHAT YOU FOLLOW IN THE BIBLE TO BE LAW, NOT WHAT THE BIBLE ACTUALLY SAYS???

[marniespeaks]

I thought the nut jobs wanted an end to big government why do they want government in marriage

[nekedemus]

I like the idea. As an social experiment.

How high will the murder rate go,

How many will "disappear".

And last but not least. How long will it take before the Americans finally climbs back into the trees?

[Tunedup81]

Marriage should be banned, not divorce!.. afterall.. the leading cause of Divorce is afterall Marriage.

[KataVideo]

lol... this is the logical outgrowth of the teabaggers and anti-freedom crowd. they spit up "liberty constitution freedom" at their stupid effing rallies, and plot to remove your rights under their talibangelist dictatorships.

[sleonardelli]

What about cases of domestic abuse?

[whoo689]

Why is California always the battleground for some stupid new proposition, usually started by these right-wing douchebags? Is it just b/c the population is so much larger than any other state?

And why am I not surprised that this jackoff is hiding behind the Bible for his ridiculous 50s beliefs and falsely claiming "god hates divorce." Please! Even Jesus said divorce is ok in certain circumstances. What a piece of shit this guy is.

Even in the old days divorce wasn't totally banned.

[whoo689]

And the moralists are at it again. Why am I not surprised? Oh yeah, they got "family values" alright, like verbally (and perhaps even physically) bashing their gay kids and disowning them. They got "family values", such as getting involved in sex scandals and cheating on their 'baby mamas.' The moralists are just a conservative version of moral relativists, really. They'll change the rules whenever it works in their favor.

Besides, didn't we already settle this divorce debate??

[whoo689]

Unlike the guy in the video, I'm GLAD divorce no longer carries that stigma of shame, like when Nelson Rockefeller divorced his wife, and many GOP voters stopped liking him. Can you imagine 2009 with that kind of stigma, what with the divorce rate being what it is?

This WILL NOT save families or couples. Keeping unhappy couples together is a recipe for disaster. They will not "learn to work through it", I can assure you.

[millgiass]

It's a way to get wives beaten to death or husbands stabbed in their sleep.

[MikeRoch6969]

how about the people that don't believe in divorce, NOT FUCKING PRACTICE IT!!! the same goes with drugs, abortion/birth control, ect.

[TheElefaunt]

marriage should be seperate from Civil Unions,

marriage was stolen from pagan ideas then placed into the bible, so christians where crazy are crazy and will always be crazy this is just another example.

man is free women is free we are born this way

stop it with the binding contracts

[TenRoc382k9]

this is why church and state shouldnt be mixing together storys like this proves the right wing wack jobs are the ones who want to tell the ppl what to do not obama

[CosmosPrivateer]

This guy must really like his wife.

God doesn't run my life I do.

Its getting crazier then ever. These Religious wackos are trying to rule the planet.

[CosmoZorzi]

wheres my turkey pot pie and my beer? ive been working all day to put a roof over your(slave) head and i expect you(slave) to have a warm dinner on the table waiting for me when i gets home at night :D

[55ella2007k]

Hey, while he's at it, why not go a step further: since women are to 'obey' their husbands, why not take their voting rights away, too? How about re-introducing the death penalty for adultery? This right there would take care of quite a few problems in Congress, since there won't be anybody left :)

[Keirnoth]

Keep the government out of my taxes, keep the government out of my medicare, keep the government out of my money they say.

But it's ok when the government gets into abortion, gets into gay rights, and now into marriage.

What the heck man? That makes no fucking sense. Keep the government out of my finances but it's OK when they step all over my personal rights? WTF?

[qabala]

I am always suspicious of any effort described as "grassroots".

This man has now publicly admitted that the entire basis for this new proposition is biblical in nature. If it passes, it is a violation of the first ammendment.

Anyone who has EVER been married knows that divorce is the only way to keep the murder rate down.

[BlackKingX]

I support this. If it passes people will realize this(like Prop 8) were both terrible ideas.

[Severneson]

The constitution only applies to limiting Federal powers; not state powers. It's not a constitutional issue unless of course it violates the California state constitution. It is however ridiculous. Marriage should be between those within the marriage; not bureaucrats.

Also, Glenn Beck is not a freedom lover. He is a neocon shill who took up the cause to raise his ratings and make money. He is a disgrace to the liberty movement.

[DavosLogos]

Sry people, freedom lovers aka glenn beck folk only come out when money gets involved, not when actual freedoms are being taken away by social conservatives.

[Orionx26]

Yea, the Government should definitely dictate to us what is moral and what is not. I know I want to obtain my moral compass from them. I also want more taxes and more intrusion into my life and the way I live it. We need to make people do what WE think is right. They must be forced. Especially when it comes to my health care, I should force others to pay for it. I dropped out of home school, but the doctor down the street didn't, hes doing well and should pay for me.

[Orionx26]

California has no right to so this its against the constitution.

[moreaudan]

Marriage is for men, divorce is for women.

[moreaudan]

I Love It, brilliant.

[andid]

What if you marry an axe murderer?

[KRCV25]

If this passes, the States are fucked! What ever happened with seperation of church and state

[Garlannd]

Oh el oh el gotta love crazies. This doesn't even deserve a response.

[mynameisbobtoo]

I say we just ban stupid people....Bye Dick Cheney, Bye GW, Bye Rummsfeild, Beck, Jones, Hannity Crazy white transvestite Ann, Angry Asain Chick who's even to crazt for Beck, Rush, Murdock, VenomFagZ, and any other phucktard I may have missed.....

[integral]

I coulda sworn the GOP / conservative type were the ones who want to keep government out of people's lives?

And boy, that crowd of insane-o's cheering when the ugly bald guy announces Prop 8 has passed.

There's something to make you lose faith in your fellow man.

[GreenEnergy2112]

This is a perfect example of a right wing conservative proposal for the Government to become overbearing into peoples lives. Sounds like shit to me.

[imaginepeace63]

Should beating your wife be legal?

[misscrazyinaugusta]

ok... I'm sick of hardcore right wing christians... yeaaaaaahh... didn't we have that freedom of religion thing??? not everyone in the U.S. is a christian nor do they agree with your specific christian sect...

[classicallady]

I woud expect it to happen in Texas but definitely NOT California

[DameDiabolique]

Are you serious??? Ban Divorce????? You have got to be kidding me???? The world is a cruel place and sometimes I wish to have nothing to do with it....

[FixedNewsChannel]

Ban all clergy from California.

[classicallady]

Fixed best comment/advise here

[twilightawakening]

WTF? How does this man have power? And shame on anyone who wants to push their RELIGIOUS views (of all views, religion, so stupid) on others.

[plumrobot]

hah! this is how you effectively kill the concept of marriage.

[SmashedBobNoPants]

BAN DIVORCE!

then nobody will get married, we will all just incorporate :)

then there will be lower taxes for all

[Arcadium2000]

Don't you just love America. So Many freedoms. You even have the freedom to devorce your wife or husba.........Oh wait.......

LOL this is a monmentally stupid idea.

[callieland]

dont get married if you intend to bail as soon as you get a better offer, or as soon as times get tough. as a nurse ive seen dozens of spouses run for the door when they find out that their spouse has a disease or if they are injured severely in a car wreck. OR simply say vows that reflect your true moral barometer. just say i promise to hang around as long as you make good money and have all your hair. also i reserve the right to get the hell out if i meet someone better. trade up, right?

[imaginepeace63]

Sometimes you don't realize the person you are with is a abusive jerk before you marry. You idiot. I know a woman who married a abusive jerk. That is when divorice is Necessary.

[phnixlady]

It should cost 10, 000 and 12 months to be married, and free divorce.

[forloveoffilm]

Well, there is a point to this: Most weddings have the line whaich clearly states, "That which God has joined together, let no man tear asunder." I guess it's just rolling the dice. If God really does exist, and he really said that, then once they are dead then they will know the answer.

This honestly reinforces my belief in the non-existence of God.

[thorkyll]

Banning divorce is a violation of biblical law. Divorce is a legal procedure which God Himself ordained.

[MrOldSlacker]

This flys in the face of the first law of Christianity:

"Do as we say, not as we do."

[DirectXControl]

Ban divorce? More like ban marraige, then none of this shit would matter. Why do people need recognition from the government, isn't their family and friends enough?

[Churchx77]

Fucking hippie.

[mejesus]

fucking tools

[twilightawakening]

Or take the government out of marriage period

[abortabraham]

Lol. Fundies.
