Should Corporations be Allowed to Marry
If corporations are considered to be persons, according to the
Supreme Court, should they be allowed to marry (merge).
Nothing in the Constitution allows them to do this??
If that is allowed then gays should have the same rights.

If a corporation goes out of business should they be tried for murder??
Holding all executives and boards liable??

1. If the purpose of marriage is production of children,
isn't corporate marriage breaking some natural (Biblical) law?

I mean, corporations fuck us all the time, but they can't fuck each other, so they shouldn't be allowed to marry, according to fundamentalist doctrine.

5. I think corporations screw each other all the time
As far as your first statement or question then older people
that are past the child bearing years should not be allowed to marry

2. A corporation going out of business would be suicide
acquiring another one and liquidating it would be murder. :P

15. They already are, and that's a big problem
How do you think the "too big to fail" banks got that big in the first place?
