My sister recently married this guy from africa. Apparently it's tradition for the grooms parents to meet the brides parents and pay the brides parents... Essentially they're going to pay my parents money for my sister...

What do you think marriage is in the first place? Some ****ty celebration of the love between two people? Or a ****ing contract? At least your new brother-in-law isn't getting shafted like all these Western dingbats.

Marriage whatever the hell you want to view it as. And if you want to view it as something so fucked up... well, i feel bad for you.

Most people get married for financial purposes anyway. It's no big deal and you get money. Win win win win.

With a 50% divorce rate your idea of marriage is probably stupid and outdated. But you are a conservative from Nebraska, so what do you expect?

I hate how people use this statistic. It means nothing. Stupid people marry the wrong person and get divorced. So what? Some people marry someone they love and stay with them. If you only want to see the negative go ahead.

And if they marry for no other reason than love, they're just doing it because society says that's the only way you can love someone. Taxes are pretty much the only logical reason to get married.

This isn't against long term relationships ftr, it's just a pointless symbol that a lot of people don't realize that they can shake.

I get your point and I don't disagree. I just don't like bat's view on it.

And like I said, if that's how he wants to view marriage that's his choice. I prefer the angle of viewing it as a celebration of love rather than taxes or anything else.
