[quote:post_uid0="viper2040"]The Con side is looking at how it is practiced as a majority around the world. Thats not a good view to take in this discussion--we're looking at why people in the USA and or Britain and or canada get married; the standard of living and treatment of women in places like these is much higher than elsewhere. Whether marriage is abused most of the time is besides the point; what matters is how it will be used by the people in this discussion[/quote]
Yes that is what I was getting at with Tark earlier...now the whole discussion is getting out of hand.

well I think that marriage actually gives a little boost to life! Its better to be married than to be lonely all the time but then again the lonely ppl can always be pimp!

umm pimping is good. :laugh:

[quote:post_uid0="TarkanX"]Then why get married? If you say you trully love eachother, and you proved it by making babies, why get married?[/quote]
yep that's true.........yo U don't need to go to church to marry a gurl to have it on paper ..........I mean U could just give her the damn ring and that's it or just go out with the gurl and that's it........I mean what's the difference........as long as U love the gurl and U wanna spend your whole life with her and give her kids, then there is no need for marriage........ok marriage is a religious thing and some are more religious then others and want to respect the tradition or whatever but me ok I'm in religion a lot, I go to church once in a while, I know about marriage and all.........look my parents were married, they divorced at the time I was 3 and then they got back together but they didn't get married again.........and they never broke up since.........anyway.........for me marriage is just a big waste of time...........and money :biggrin:

This is what i think.
if you truly love someone...then dont marry them...you dont need to get married to show love and affection. Their is no bennifit to being married.(unless your a woman who wants to kill thier husband to get their insurance money).

exactly.......especially about the insurance part lol :biggrin:

you dont have to get married, but by the same token you dont have to tell the woman you love her. Its a symbol of commitment and love

Actually if u make babies before u get married and u are a deeply religios christian, you do have a chance of getting kicked out of your church! Thats what happened to my mom when she gave birth to me.

haha well it's okay because she gave a birth to a great man, steventhebol! *cough*

Thats true steven,but I think the reason she might of said she was almost kicked out of her chruch is because it's a desgrace to be pregnant before marriage in the christian world...
