Women were property - they had no rights. They were sold/bartered - - used to strengthen political alliances etc. Legal Marriage is a government contract (no god or sanctity of marriage involved). The legal contract is to protect the rights/property of individuals joining together as a single unit/family. It affords certain privileges and tax breaks not afforded by any other means.
As the Bible states, you(husband), are to treat and respect your wife as you do the Bible,church, Jesus. A pretty simple quote as to how to hold your wife up to the same respect as God. Go look it up, It is not verbatim from me, but gives you the basis.
Yes, it also states a woman should submit to her husband, but when looking at the entire text from that section, a man must do the same as a give and take on both parties.
As for the legal contract....screw the lawyers and the government. I was married by neither, I was married in front of our Lord and committed myself to him, not any POS lawyer or Government entity.
I payed a tax to the state of Pa. for their useless piece of paper

This is to prevent people from saying "look at this gay man, he killed someone. Aren't gay people awful?" in the classroom. It is also to prevent the omission of important figures, such as Alexander the Great, Socrates, John Keynes (that's for all you job creator types) and others simply because they played for the wrong team.

Well of course CA wouldn't want that in their text books. That would be conservative and moral, everything CA is against.

Then why do you even care about marriage? It was well established before this government and lawyers BS.
Of course you do not care about the Bible, it is easier to discount any opposition to most Christian's beliefs by denying it all together.

That joining a gang is rich in Americana Lore,and in California,is the norm. Weekly "gang color day" will be introduced in EVERY California school,as not to offend the many gangs that rule California.
First off, the post above your quote was directed towards the OP, not you. His post reads out like something a far-right radio host would say. The post underneath your quote was directed towards you.

Right-wing extremism? You think I'm planning a massive genocide of homosexuals because I think they are sub-human? Sheesh, say one thing that seems against homosexuality and your branded a evil horrifying tyrant.
I'm not complaining about someones sexual orientation in a history book, sometimes it is necessary to know every aspect of a given historical figure to fully comprehend the decisions they made. There are PLENTY of history textbooks that mentions homosexuality at the college level and beyond, where it might be necessary to understand the dynamics of the figure or a culture.
Its the part where they put it in childrens textbooks I have a problem with.

I presume that you are a socialist then.
You are incorrect. Democratic socialism is a form of socialism.
dictionary.reference.com...
so·cial·ism /ˈsoʊʃəˌlɪzəm/ Show Spelled[soh-shuh-liz-uhm] Show IPA
noun
1. a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.
That's a Democratic system. Ergo making a distinction between Socialism and Democratic Socialism is pointless as they're one in the same.

Socialists have positioned themselves to claim democracy as their great accomplishment.
Currently socialism is under the move to redefine and claim all liberal and progressive conservative thought as their own.

I have been reading on political theory for 20 years. I'm sure you can cherry pick, and I encourage you to be more honest.

I don't think I am the one who is cherry picking.
