      Not only am I in favor of them, I believe every state in the US and all provinces in Canada REQUIRE at least two people in a marriage.

      Many states even go so far as to mandate that the people be of different genders, but a lot of folks think that's carrying things a bit far.

    As long as they both love the game; that's all a marriage really needs.

      It's true. I was with a Mets fan for years.

      Not sure I'd have been as understanding if she'd been a Red Sox fan, but that's a whole other issue. I mean, ya gotta have standards, right?

    The only bad thing about mixed marriages I can think of is concerning transplants, if a child of mixed race may need it.

    I remember baseball player Rod Carew having this problem with his daughter. He was of Caribean/African descent and his wife was N. European, if I remember correctly. The couldn't find a suitable donor becasue of this rare DNA match and his daughter died.

    But this should just be a consideration of the bigger picture. If two people love each other and treat each other well and with respect, then they should go for it. The only exception would be a Bronco fan marrying a Raider fan. It's beyond being unnatural and is downright creepy.

      I leave football completely out of the equation. I think considering such silly things when judging a person is downright, well, silly!

      (What? Why, yes. I am a Bills fan. How did you know?)

    I'm German and Scottish, she was Hungarian and Mexican.

    I suppose you might ask how many was I could mix it up but I think we blended it as well as possible ... The only thing that was similar about us is that we both were in the same IQ bracket and both have Jewish ancestry.

    Oh, one other difference/similarity. She's psychotiac and I'm mildly insane.... It was never meant to last I suppose.

    That having been said, no. I think a little mixture is a good thing.

        Sorry... I digress.

        Seriously. I've watched more than once as people would get into furious screaming matches via text message. Who'd have thought monitor muscles came in cellphone sizes?

        I can go days without checking my cell or my answering machine. I don't "get" this obsession with answering every text within 30 seconds. Who the hell needs a leash with an unlimited plan?

          I've never understood texting at all. If you want to communicate with someone, and you have a phone in your hand, TALK TO THE PERSON! Geez.

          I don't have a cell and don't want one. And, I've started a new rule that when I'm out having a meal with others, the person who's cell goes off first picks up the tab. I'm tired of going to lunch with people and all they do is talk to other people on their phone. If I have to sit through this BS, I better at least get a free meal.

            Kurt,

            To me, texting is like email. It's polite, because it doesn't require synchronous communication at odd times of the day. I send them very sparingly, though, because I know other people treat a text like a fire alarm.

            MUST RESPOND IMMEDIATELY.

            Ummm. No. I can ignore that as easily as I can the phone ringing. If it ain't family, or one of a very few friends, it ain't all that urgent. I'll call them back.

            I mostly only use text messages because a lot of my friends are in their late 20s and 30s, and texting is how they communicate. For friends closer to my age, it's voice or email, almost every time.

            I rarely carry my phone with me when I go out, unless I'm on the highway.

            For probably the first 7 or 8 years that I had a cell phone, I sent one text message. My brother sent me a text, and I replied with my phone number. He got the point.

              Let me clarify, I consider "texting" to be when both people are actively and in real time sending text messages to each other. It may be my own definition, but there is a difference between sending a text message to someone and messaging back and forth in real time.

              Way back when I drove a cab, I had a cell phone I used for business. And when taking road trips, a cell phone is very handy and can be a lifesaver, literally. They have their uses. But interupting personal, face to face communications isn't one of them. People don't need to check the texts every time they get one, unless they are a doctor on emergency duty or a superhero, and even then the Bat Light has worked well for decades.

                Violent agreement on that. That falls into the category I call "casually rude."

                Same with people who get angry because you didn't respond to their texts immediately. If it's important, use the voice option. If it ain't, it can wait.

                Reminds me of the days before cell phones. A pet peeve I had way back was going to a pizzeria, standing in line to order and watch the workers constantly leave the counter - with real people standing there with real money in hand - to answer the phone to take an order. More than once I have walked out. I'm here now - take my order and ignore the phone until we're done, or I'll take my business elsewhere.

                Maybe it's just me...

              I pride myself on having never sent a single text message, ever, at all - no way, no how. Not once.

              Additionally, I have never 'tweeted,' snap-chatted, Instagrammed, 'pinned' anything or anyone or danced the Macarena.

              Of course I spent the last 2 days deleting 2300 emails from my inbox and I only have 5700+ to go.

              I am by no means a Luddite as I spend 6 to 8 hours per day on my Mac, 7 days a week. I just have an aversion to doing what everyone else is doing.

              I'm 'special' that way.

              Cheers. - Frank

          I've gotten to the point where I go days without turning my cell on. I don't have a land line anymore so it works out pretty well.
          The more I get involved with the stupid political bull on the internet, the more I think about canceling it. If it wasn't for all the horticulture and motorcycle research I use it for and the fact that it's hard to find the organic ferts and pesticides locally, it would be gone.

                Who cares if people get into interracial marriages, it's none of our business. When you start to give your opinions on other people's race or sexual preference, your views tend to get more radical.

                I've learned to mind my own business, I don't worry about things I cannot control. People have been mixing since the day we decided to walk out of the caves. If you have a problem with interracial marriages, then don't marry outside of your race... end of story.

                Now an Ohio State/Michigan, Cleveland Browns/Steeler fan getting married, that is a different story and should be outlawed.

            Hey, that is the best way to use the web. Research was what Internet was originally invented for, not globalized water-cooler gossip or garden-party cat hissing spats. As for politics, sheesh, it really does get illogical, especially when politics or ideology get bonded with scientific questions. I forgot this silly thread I started some time back, I guess my silly word-game and attempts at playing around with expectations amused me at the time.

        I'm not a fan of it either, but it's the only way to contact my older sons (25 and 23). They rarely answer their phones, or hardly ever respond to voice mails. But text them and I always get an answer.

      Maybe it could work if one side had a phone that read out the text and the other side converted voice to text.

        Believe it or not, that's not even a tough thing to set up.

        Google Voice already does voice to text/email, and Verizon's normal landline service converts texts to voice in many areas.

      Only if they don't believe in text before marriage.

      That would be a clever detail to add to a film about a May/December romance.

        You and Lanfear63 could write the script. Your son could have a role. If it
        really takes Lanfear four hours to write a paragraph, your son could have
        the starring role. Then it would be about cougars as well.


        ------

        A lot of the housekeepers at my hotel have been 30 and under, so I was kind of forced
        into the texting thing. I'd leave a voice mail and get a text back. Fortunately, it's short
        texts about starting time and how many rooms tomorrow. No May/December romance
        stuff.

          LOL. I just noticed this! Cool, my son will be all grown up and maybe up for the role by the time Lanfear63's screenplay is written.

    Kurt - when did the church of Bronco start even allowing mixed marriages? When I was there they had no tolerance for anyone who even spoke a word that they weren't a member of the church.

    Text? That's something in a book, or a website right? There are a lot of people who get very bent because I refuse to take a cellphone with me. If I wanted to be connected 24/7 I wouldn't spend so much on gas to get to places that there's no such thing as cell reception. I don't read anything that comes through on text - I don't answer text. Everyone who knows me well enough to viably send a text knows to call and leave a msg if I don't answer. Anyone can text til they are blue. Sooner or later they usually figure out that I ignore texts..........other than to go in and "erase all" without reading them.

      The Church of Bronco, understandably, relaxed the rules around the time Plummer
      was quarterback.

    It depends on the personalities of the Married partners..
    Me personally I like light Rock as in Queen/Freddy Mercury..It would nor be a good mix for me if my wife was into Heavy metal.loud music?? or say being Goth..these would be extreme, but for me no way oh say.
    Then again you can have a religious mix that works out fine.A Catholic and Protestant.

    I notice most of the posts are of differences ie likes etc, but when the term mixed Marriages/Relationships are used, it's usually a Marriage between a African American and White folk.

    As a Bruins fan I would have no problem marrying a Canucks fan...... but a Canadians fan - now that is something that is totally OUT of the question. It would be as bad as marrying a Yankees fan.
    In my opinion Yankees fan shoul not be allowed to have children.... they might grow up to be Yankee fans as well!

    I am strictly against mixed marriages. It's just plain wrong, immoral and unethical.

    Not to mention how confused their kids will be... and the bullying.

      C'mon man! I am a lifelong Steelers fan and my wife is a lifelong Cowboys fan and we have been happily married for almost 30 years! She does still occasionally complain about that Jackie Smith touchdown drop in Super Bowl XIII though.

    Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. You have to think about the children involved.

    ... as opposed to a marriage between say ... a Democrat and a Republican. The offspring of such a marriage is doomed to go around with his/her fingers in their ears, singing la la la la la la I can't hear you. Even worse, they are highly likely to join the Republicrats (a party formed from the offspring of Red and Blue marriages) when they are voting age.

    This is my son. He's not mixed -- he's 100% human, but the way he finds new ways of being naughty and likes playing with everything in sight such as stair railings at the train station, I suspect there may be a little bit of raccoon in him somewhere.

      So...how old is your son?


      ------
      OK, here is why this is funny. You see, Thunderbird talks about his son, and about the funny and fascinating things his son says. They really are fascinating, and we enjoy reading his son's exploits. But Thunderbird always mentions that his son is 4 years old (to put the story in context). The fact that most of us reading this, already know his son's age, is what makes this funny.

      Oh, and I thought "This is my son. He's not mixed -- he's 100% human" was pretty clever too.

    No problem at all with mixed racial Marraiges. support them 100% though do draw the line with cultural Marraiges. imagine being Married to a selfish druggie and/or drunk/piss-head who only think of their own selfish needs..I can speak from experience there as made that mistake...

    As in business! Do your due diligence, saves a lot of heartache later.

    And yeah thunderbird! you do seem to bring your little mischievous 4 year old up often in your posts.

    Let's ask James Carville and Mary Matalin if their children got problems.
    I am not against mixed marriage. if you love one another, some personal interests can be set aside. Of all known mixed marriages, I think the above-mentioned marriage is the most unique and till they are happy living together despite of celebrity status and political careers. Mixed nationality, interracial, or whatever you call it not a problem.

    The only mix marriage I don't like is when the wife is working 8 hours a day and the husband is at home, healthy, and babysitting for a year.
