Hard to be 生 and 揚げ at the same time. "Deep fried cock" does have a nice ring to it though. Maybe KFC Japan could add that to their menu.

Define real marriage.

Define real marriage.

The two people have a meaningful relationship and intend to live together as partners.

Then why isn't marriage for money or status also illegal?

Isn't a real marriage basically whatever the state will sanction?

Because gaining money or status from a marriage is not, in itself, an illegal act. However, dishonestly circumventing immigration law is an illegal or at least unlawful act. Therefore, a marriage whose only purpose is to allow the successful performance of that unlawful act is itself illegal.

Think in terms of people who have never met each other "marrying" in exchange for a cash payment and then not having any further contact.

Interesting: I'd say, to marry a bank manager (instead of robbing the bank), wait a couple of years uhtil you can pull your divorce lawyers out of the hat and make him poor is, in my book, ethically worse than a marriage to circumvent some obsolete cultural artefacts like "nationality" (or "marriage" ), even though the first one is perfectly OK while the second one is frowned upon by most any society.

TL;DR: My mileage varies

Marrying someone because you want a visa is as legitimate as any other reason. This isn't something I'm passionate about. I just find it funny that countries draw the line there and tend to scrutinize the legitimacy of international marriages and not other marriages that are obviously for reasons other than forming a loving partnership.

[Wage Slave]

It might be but you are missing the point. If the two people have a meaningful relationship (based on whatever) and they live together, at least for a while, and it doesn't work out, then fine. It isn't illegal.

Conspiring to commit an unlawful act is.

Agreed - but the law and ethics are different things.

You seemed to be saying it was meaningless or at least was unenforceable because it wasn't possible to distinguish a legal marriage from an illegal marriage.

Jeez, with the shiitake from you'z guys, you'd think that not marrying in the exact same level of income is an illegal crime against hard working selfmade capitalist class... Or that I also raped someone dog in the process...

No I was commenting on the ridiculousness of that poster and the law.

Quite the opposite. I don't give a fuck why someone wants to get married. Since marriage has for most of history been a business deal trying say marriages based on practical reasons rather than love are somehow less legitimate is wetawded. Of course so is telling a supposedly free human beings they can't live in country X because they don't have the right stamp in their passport.

Fuck law, marriage is based on beliefs/religion/culture. So government jumping in is bullshit.

But yes, ethis and law are different.

Going way off topic, but marriage is much much more than just a social contract between the two people involved. Just off the top of my head, it impacts on tax liabilities, on inheritance, on giving permission for the other person to undergo medical procedures when they are not in a conscious state to give permission themselves, on entitlement to pensions, and on being the beneficiary of a life insurance payout. And this is before you start talking about responsibilities as a parent if there are children involved. The government has its finger in about half of those pies, so it does want a say and will jump in.

These are also the sort of reasons why the gay marriage issue is so wrought. It is no longer just a sign from one caveman to make sure the other cavemen keep their dicks tucked away.

I've never seen one in action, but other people might hitch their puppy dogs to it. ワン子ちゃん There is one at a convenience store on a route I travel occasionally.

The wank pole is for bottoms. The wank hole is for tops.

Actually, I was seriously considering that possibility.

By the way, WHERE is that pole?
