If the guy gets marriage benefits, we better have this going on in America soon; cause I have a library of books I'll gladly spend my life with. Polygamy anyone?
Well, marriage by itself is a quite stupid and pointless institution if you ask me (and so is monogamy).. but oh well.

I'm sorry. I read through your post, but I can't find a single argument.
Even if it was a sign of "mental imbalance" (which falls under the 'abnormality' argument category I (and Kaiser long before me) mentioned and which is by itself rather vague) that still doesn't explain why it is wrong. Where's the harm in it and where's the danger you mentioned?


Is there any reason as to why it's right?

It's just as right or wrong as any other marriage.

No, it's not right either, but it isn't bad thing. Both of things are different. Merrying a pillow in social life isnt right, but can't say exactly it's wrong either. And also it's not bad thing. Well I can't judge him, never met him.

Kaiser, I have no response for you. You don't even know how funny you are, and your blathering about others being "intellectually lazy" while you put forth these hilariously absurd arguments (with your typical doses of spurious condescension) is not even worth a dignified response. I guess you might be trolling, but I think you're actually not, which is even worse.

If you "hate romance," why are you even posting here? Do you think anyone cares about your sociopath views on love, especially in respect to the subject of a man marrying a fucking pillow? This isn't about anyone's "ideal" of romance. So many things wrong with your thinking...

...So you admit to not having any arguments to back anything you say up?

I figure I am not condescending further than that I point out the fact you're all being irrational - but what does it matter if I'm condescending, since you seem to hold that right for yourself as regards to the man who loves a pillow? At least I reason why what I say is might be correct.

I didn't say I hate romance though. Making up quotes is a bad hobby, yeah? I think romance is ridiculous, it's weird to begin with to me, so I do not find the inclusion of a fictional character very shocking, just amusing. I love most people, so the focus on any one in particular is found peculiar. I can sort of sympathise, but it's odd, and I can not feel with the common stance people have on romance, as if it's sacrosanct.

If something's wrong with my thinking, please, point it out. I do not care about being proven right, I care about adopting the view which is right.

That's my piece.

See, this, at least, I can make sense of. But that doesn't seem to be the issue for everyone here, and I am rather sure he's aware the pillow cannot reciprocate.

If he isn't, now, that, at least, would be good reason to think he's more than just eccentric. But the article doesn't really say.

True. I suppose since we have no beef in the article or anything, we don't truly know his thoughts on it. Whether he fully understands that the pillow isn't going to return his feeling, is something we may never know.

Personal taste is something that everyone have, and everyone should respect it, if they want to be respected back. You don't like romances, fine. I don't like korean romances either, but i like romance with action and drama but only if romance is additional, not a main thing in series, novel, or any other art work.
uh, why am I even bothering with this topic...

Again, I don't dislike romance at all, I find it endearing. I just also find it bizarre. And that's certainly personal... well not taste, but nature, and I originally brought it up since that might explain why I am not bitter about the guy and his pillow.

...And I was really talking about romance in real life.

If this guy actually got marriage benefits from this, which I doubt, but am unsure of, I would consider it a pretty smart move on his part. All the benefits without the nagging of a female. Of course, he need not pay to feed, clothe, etc... her

I don't think you need romance in real life. It's not necessary. But not having wife and children isn't natural either. But i don't like the cheesy romances in real life too.
The more you love, you will gain same ammout of sorrow and pain. People today call it "price". It's just a natural law.

Restuffing might be a costly business though. It better be a very high-quality pillow, I don't see why he should settle for anything less than the very best.

Haha, that's right, he wouldn't have to pay stuff like that, but having a real woman also gives benefits. Real woman cooks for you, clean your house and so on, while he has to do it alone.

Oh by the way, i am extremely jealous of your pillow. I have a wooden bed. With no cover. Sometimes it really hurts to lie on it.

Even if it was a sign of "mental imbalance" (which falls under the 'abnormality' argument category I (and Kaiser long before me) mentioned and which is by itself rather vague) that still doesn't explain why it is wrong. Where's the harm in it and where's the danger you mentioned?

Well there's some discussion going on about right or wrong, when I said wrong I didn't mean moralistically wrong, I meant wrong in a sort of mistake sort of way... like it's wrong to try and iron your clothes with a shoe, however it doesn't make you a bad person. As for my argument, I thought it was pretty clear. Mental imbalance, is not something to be taken lightly. It appears it falls under the abnormality argument for you, and well yes it does, the abnormal in this sense, is a valid argument. Being mentally imbalanced or ill, or confused is abnormal, normal being the average state of humans in our society (generally healthy physically and mentally). Now don't get me wrong as I've said before, he is not a bad person from as much as I can tell, but he appears confused about healthy relationships, it could also be indicative of that imbalance I'm refering to: maybe a social disorder. As for the danger, that may have been vague, but I do not mean danger to others, or even physical danger, but danger to this persons emotional well-being, it seems unlikely that a man could be satisfied emotionally and intellectually (for life) being married to a pillow... So, in conclusion I think that mental illness (even if it's relatively minor and harmless to others) is commonly overlooked in comparison to physical illness (if he had pneumonia or something this wouldn't be a debate). This person is confused at least, if not suffering from a social disorder, healthy people don't project qualities onto inanimate objects and have them as companions when there are actual people about. I mean would that guy from Cast Away (excuse the reference) become so close with Wilson, if the island was populated with people. Well if he did, they'd probably have him committed...

It might just be a bet, between his friends, to marry a pillow. Can't judge him yet. People who listen to media and think everything is right according to it, are fools.
