extra society marriage

Comment comment by VnutZ on 12 July 2005

So ... it appears the common consensus is for heterosexual, monogamous marriage under both God and law. Since religion and legal recognition is important to the omninerd crowd I have a question:

Will you recognize the marriages from other political / religious groups outside of your own society that emigrates to your land? Say a European union of homosexual men? Or an Eastern polygamous union?

RE: extra society marriage by markmcb :: NR7

Why would you? If you're (the gov't) bold enough to tell your own citizens that something is not legal, then why would you afford the incoming horde more flexibility and legal rights? Shouldn't the attitude of a government that allows outsiders be along the lines of "if you want to live here, you have to live with our laws?" If that's what is paramount to them, then they ought to stay away from lands that frown on such behavior.

What happens all too often is that the newcomers don't care about our laws, love our high standard of living, move here, and then want to change the government to suit their needs. Doesn't this seem odd to anyone else?
