Marriage is a human construct not an actual physical object. I think you'll find that the wikipedia article is backed up by 'official statistics' including many different canadian studies. It also seems to be on the money when it says that people whom are anti-gay marriage will claim there are...

Why is it that you bother to bring up the definition constantly? The point of contention is whether we should change the definition to allow for gay couples. Where are you getting your figures from bshoc? If you're talking about the recent australian survey (I think in 03?) I'm pretty sure...

Wait... why are we arguing over how many women are gay?

Try to be more coherant please, you'll find people bother to respond to your musings much more often if they see you've taken the time to spell correctly, use proper grammar etc.

I think 'I work too hard' or whatever is a bad response. I think you should say 'Well I've had alot of trouble with X in the past, however I've found that doing Y has really helped me to overcome that".

Only read the first page (so forgive me if someone's already brought this up) but this is imo a political move to get christian conservatives on their side. As for the worthyness of it... How can they be any better than a counsellor?

Re: To be honest No he didn't.

No.

IMO the more important statistic to see would be How many boys are molested by men compared with girls, if there is a higher % of pedophiles molesting boys (as opposed to girls) than there are homosexuals I'd say that'd be a somewhat interesting statistic... There are SO many problems though...

Hmm true, I am certainly not as good as Generator and as much as I liked him he was not quite what MLS was - If this trend continues, perhaps you'll be the mod by the year 2083. I'm sure I was put under a bit of a microscope and I've been given specific instructions about my behaviour. Anyway...

A concession doesn't mean the murder was justified. Of course, you don't want to create legal rights for vigilante's to go around taking the law into their own hands whenever they feel they were wronged. However, all that a concession means is that the court has taken into account the unique...

When it comes to sentencing I think you have to acknowledge that other factors come into it. Surely the sentence for someone whom has committed murder against someone whom had raped their daughter should be lower than the sentence for planning a rape and then executing the most deviant acts...

To be honest it is the power of the unions within the ALP that I think will always prevent me from voting for them. I don't know if the same is true for alot of other people though. It'd be interesting to find out if there's any surveys on how 'popular' unions are within Australian society (not...

I really don't notice the influence of unions as much in America as we have here in Australia (Perhaps only because I don't live there, but I do watch the news) so I doubt the Democrats could ever mirror the ALP which I'd say is roughly ....40% controlled by unionists?

I, for one, welcome our new NCAP overlord.

I didn't say that you did... Doesn't really matter for the point I'm making anyway. As for your purpose... you could have quite simply said 'to live my life for God' or something along those lines. Personally I don't think that's all that amazing of a purpose to find in your life so I'm not...

The common ground isn't 'becomming more uncommon'... I am refering to the basic precepts of being a human being i.e. empathy, beyond that of course there will always be debate. Hatred of gay marriage is not something core to the being of a human. You have missed my point completely, I am well...

We can never know the absolute truth, however I think at the very least we can say we cannot prove God doesn't exist as much as we cannot prove the tooth fairy doesn't exist.

Ultimate purpose, no... but we create our own 'purpose' in our lives even if it is ultimately meaningless.... Much as we build a sandcastle at the beach, even though it's a pointless task and will be washed away by the sand, it was still fun - At the time. There is no ultimate right and wrong...

If heaven exists I guess the greatest gift someone can give another is death.
