Gay Weddings Legalized in....wait, Vietnam?

[Starkiller101]

You sure you're a militant atheist? You sound more like a religious fundamentalist, to be fair. Maybe you didn't think your opinions through too well...

I have my own values. I don't need Jesus to tell me what to do.

I'm a christian and don't let god decide my decisions

[Aquafireland]

Quite spiffy for a country like Vietnam.

[Hurdegaryp]

So they should be divorced if they don't want to have children.

So marriage, in your view, is a breeding contract?

How... well, it's not even regressive, is it? Stupid. Blind to the complexities of human relationships. And deliberately obstinate in it's ignorance.

It's been a while since I was twelve to fifteen years old, but I don't remember being so obstinate myself. Of course there wasn't the current level of access to the internet back then, so that might have something to do with it.

[Immoren]

And there are married people who have lived over ten years together without breeding. What's your point?

What's the point of marriage at all? Man does hard work and then one day woman will take the house and car.

Using US as an example...

I don't support marriage at all. But if they need to marry then only to create family. Otherwise I see no point of marriage.

Does not compute with the rigid programming that you assume are the very mechanism that keeps human societies functioning, eh? You really, really sure you're not just a closet religious type?

Well I see much other points to marry. Its just more then just have a ring and say 'yes'. I cannot really say what it really is like (because I didn't marry yet), but I think its more then just that.
