Do you believe that the gay marriage ban in Texas banned all marriage (read all)?
First, please answer with an open mind. Don't answer based on your political feelings.
Amendment 32: Marriage
(a) Marriage in this state shall consist only of the union of one man and one woman.
(b) This state or a political subdivision of this state may not create or recognize any legal status identical or similar to marriage.
Does the above amendment that was made to the Texas Constitution ban all marriage? This is the reasoning some have recently concluded that it does:
Section (b) states that Texas cannot recognize any legal status identical to marriage, and section (a) states that marriage is the union of a man and a woman. If Texas cannot recognize any legal status identical to marriage (the union of a man and a woman), than it cannot recognize marriage itself. Marriage is identical to marriage.
This can also be understood through basic logic. Using a Euclidean proof (but written in paragraph form):
It is given that Texas cannot recognize any legal status identical to marriage, and marriage is the union of a man and a woman. Marriage is identical to marriage by the reflexive property. As Texas cannot recognize anything identical to marriage, it cannot recognize marriage.
So, what do you think? This also raises the debate of letter of the law vs. spirit of the law.
3 AnswersLaw & Ethics1 decade agoWhat noteworthy games are coming out for the Xbox 360 in the rest of 2009?
I can definitely classify myself as a hardcore gamer. I normally put at least 30-40 hours of gameplay into my Xbox 360 every week. Lately though, I've had trouble getting into any games. This could be because I don't have as much money to buy them, or could be because I haven't seen any new releases I like.
In an attempt to get interested in gaming again, I want to read up on some games that are coming out soon. Problem is, my recent detachment from gaming hasn't left me in the know about what is and isn't a game I may want.
Please give a list of noteworthy Xbox 360 games that will be coming out soon. Whoever gives the most will get best answer.
I already know about the following:
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Assassin's Creed 2
Left 4 Dead 2

20 AnswersAdolescent1 decade agoWhat happened to Nikki Sep?
Nikki Sep used to be the #1 answerer in the adolescent section. I know Baking Master was trying (very very hard) to get her banned or suspended. Did it actually happen? I left for a while and came back to a different #1 answerer. O.o
Also, if she is suspended, does anyone know why she was suspended? Was it just Baking Master's infinite thumbs down?
