I agree with your paragraph where you list desirable attributes Jolly. |

If it makes you feel superior by sniffing comments like that, go ahead. I think you know exactly what Jolly meant. It has nothing to do with the nonsense you are trying to dump here. It is a simple matter of showing respect for yourself and others. That is done by living to a common standard of decent behavior and not by simply indulging any whim that drifts into your head. I'm sure it is great fun for you to mock those who try and fail to live up to this standard, but it's the trying that matters. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

Here in the US, "marriage" has legal rights attached that no other form of union has, and there is, like it or not, a societal bias associated with it. Gays simply want into that pool. |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

I disagree. If that were so, civil unions would be A-OK. Marriage rights is the least of what this is about. It is about endorsement of homosexuality. |

Of course it is. Homosexuals want to see their behavior and lifestyles legitimized. |

Of course I don't know who you are. I only know what you say in your post. I respond to that. You don't speak for N America, I'm simply letting you know that. By the way, telling someone to flip off is not widely accepted as good behavior in N America. |

Some people require endorsements? But not others? Curious, that. |

On some days I think marriage would be valued more by society if divorce were illegal . Or perhaps people should get booted from their chuches for it? I just don't think marriage is so valued anymore. |

Clearly. This is a group asking for special privilege. The whole thing really is ridiculous. It has nothing at all to do with civil rights. It's like a 3 year old demanding a toy only because it sees the other 3 year old playing with it. It is a selfish temper tantrum. |

I think it's got more to do with the lifestyle that Britain's first family has to endure. How many people living their entire lives in the public eye have long-lasting marriages? |

As I also said, I *still* don't understand why gays want to marry. I think Mik and I agree in some way of this. |

The Church of England, easily the classiest church in the world, was founded because somebody in the ruling class wanted to get divorced. If you think this was low-class, consider what his alternatives were at the time. |

I think 'marriage' is a religious thing; it has it's purpose for religious folk. And yes, lots of people are religious. |

Others are not. Some are religious but believe differently from others who are also religious. Which group gets to dictate law to the others? Which group requires and endorsement (and I just love that concept) to receive the same rights as enjoyed by others? |

Hmmm. Well this is selfish of me, but I suppose deep down I don't really care. Tell me, how much public money is & will be spent on this issue? Does everyone see this as a proper use of peoples' money? |
