That's a common misbelief

Re: In Defense of the Marriage
 

I thought that that a common in law wife/husband had the same rights ??

O.K. if not - why not have a contract made out ??

Re: In Defense of the Marriage
 

That doesn't actually tell you anything - it looks more like someone giving their opinion. I'm at work right now but when I get back I'll have some links which show markings and drawings found in caves estimated to be about 3,000 years old depicting humans AND large beasts together.

Re: In Defense of the Marriage
 

That as maybe, but they prolly weren't dino's, it is generally accepted in the scientific community that they died approximately 65 million years ago.

Re: In Defense of the Marriage
 

Failed in my attempt then :)

Re: In Defense of the Marriage
 

But what about those of us who, um, aren't in the scientific community? And what would you suggest these beasts were? Surely science could tell us that? Or even just have a guess?

Not for long - I'll be in the other thread now :)

A contract would not give gays the rights of next of kin, or get around inheritance tax, or get pension payments.

Gays would like these if they are in a permanent relationship.
Hetrosexuals have this with either a religious marriage or civil marriage in a registry office (I think the legal part of it is actually the same, the religious part just has the extra ceremony, ie if you just had the ceremony, you'd not be legally married, hence the signing of the registry)

Gay rights groups just want the rights, not the wedding, not the marriage. Something like a registry wedding, but with no ceremony at all.

Do you know of any pics of these on the web Russ? I'd like to take a view.

The only ones I know about myself, are the paintings down in Oz, where there used to roam a giant lizard (not a dinosaur).

Re: In Defense of the Marriage
 

Russ how on earth am I suppose to comment on this from the limited info you have given in the thread (now come on), I may be a scientist but I'm not omnipotent :)


From the information that paleontologists have they decided that the the dinosaurs dies out 65 million years ago.

You can believe it or not but at the end of the day THEY have physical evidence that they have evaluated and come to a decision. Paleontology isn't my field, I am just relaying info I have picked up from the popular scientific press, there's no need to be sarcastic. :(

Re: In Defense of the Marriage
 

Funny you should mention those :)

A very vocal minority. One that has enough money and political "clout" to be able to push their message into the mainstream of politics.

Fortunately we have much less of that sort of thing in the UK, but we still have the bigotry and prejudice which lurks around it.

You know that and I know that...

Re: In Defense of the Marriage
 

I'm sure this has been mentioned before on this site, but I suggest people visit http://www.politicalcompass.org/ which divides political thought up into not only "Left or Right" but "Authoritarianism and Libertarianism".

After checking *their* political compass, have a look at the "analysis" section.

(NB I don't entirely agree with all the site's conclusions, but does make you think)

Fun test.

I find myself sitting snugly directly between Nelson Mandela, Gandhi and The Dalai Lama. :)

Re: In Defense of the Marriage
 

:ghugs: :D

Re: In Defense of the Marriage
 

Been meaning to do that test for a while now. Finally got round to it ....

Same as Gandhi apparantly.
