Troll Crushing

From the comments section at another site:

Troll: "Marriage is defined as the union of a man and a woman, check it in the dictionary. "

WRONG:

Definitions of Marriage on the Web:

* the state of being a married couple voluntarily joined for life (or until divorce); "a long and happy marriage"; "God bless this union"
* two people who are married to each other; "his second marriage was happier than the first"; "a married couple without love"
* the act of marrying; the nuptial ceremony; "their marriage was conducted in the chapel"
* a close and intimate union; "the marriage of music and dance"; "a marriage of ideas"

* Marriage or wedlock is an interpersonal relationship (usually intimate and sexual) with governmental, social, or religious recognition. It is often created by a contract or through civil processes. Civil marriage is the legal concept of marriage as a governmental institution.

Eric,
I love that answer! Although I prefer the the Klingon description of a marriage as a the beginning of a long, glorious, drawn out war.
I'll be using your response from now on. "Obviously, you don't own a dictionary."
