Other - Society & Culture - 21 January 2007

In September I had the privilege of attending the wedding of two women friends. I know you’re all gonna ask so yes they both wore white gowns.

The ceremony was on Cape Cod, MA it was an awesome day (you would’t believe what they had to pay for that weather) the brides were gorgeous the ceremony was beautiful and the reception, quite the party.

Here’s the question: I believe that marriage is a commitment between two people that love each other and are ready to share their lives together, and that in the eye’s of the state anything as defined above should be considered a civil union, so, man woman, man man, woman man, woman woman, in the eye’s of the state are all exactly the same thing.

Yes, no, other ideas?

Message from a Yank to a Brit?
I'll be straight to the point. America and the United Kingdom are the best of friends and each others greatest allies. Our similarities and the common ground we share far out weighs our differences.
We have always been there for each other ( although sometimes late in coming) and need to maintain our "special relationship". And make no mistake, our relationship is special - but that’s a topic for another time. Anyway, what I see going on between our two countries is just terrible. There is still great love and admiration felt both ways by many of us, but clearly there is a growing divide between our nations. The comments on yahoo answers - which should be taken with a grain of salt - are still disturbing and are very destructive. COMMENTS FROM BOTH US/UK
Bottom line, the hate filled messages we send to one another on here MUST stop.( I admit I too have been guilty of this, but have seen the error of my ways – yes that sounds corny, but I mean it.) There is nothing wrong with disagreeing and debate, but needs to be handled maturely. Why don’t we try using “constructive criticism” rather than personal attacks – which quite frankly are usually off base – and try to objectively examine things as if we were in one another shoes. Never forget we are far more alike than we are different.!

If America and Britain cannot get along, there is no hope for the world.
What say you? How do you feel?

i want to say that why we don't except that we may be wrong sometime but we instead abuses other so that he don't abuse us, why cant we solve small or useless things peacefully or either by just avoiding it to make the atmosphere neat & clean and these are not just poor people but high class rich educated people too.

I know this has been a recent fascination over this subject.
I am just curious WHEN this fad started?

If you want to answer that question, then , if you want, you could tell me exactly WHY ?(or what to it) Because I know these people being considered Chavs have been here for longer than the past five years. It is not like they immigrated here or anything.

Why do so many people judge people based on their appearance instead of what is in the inside? It seems that people will be more concerned with how their hair or skin looks instead of how much of a good person they are. Im just so sick of people who judge others by appearance. I used to have a very low self esteem in the way i look but now im proud of the beautiful person i am in the inside. It is so important to remember that we are NOT our hair, we are NOT our skin, We are the soal that lives within.

Does it seem that the media in the UK has been focusin on "Jerry Springer type" shows too much.
This Jade Goody character could be considered a "Chav" .
Why do you think , if you do think, that the media is focusing so much on rediculing the working class through these types of negative stereotypes?

I've noticed, especially with this Big Brother row how people have instead of condemning the racism towards Shilpa Shetty, and yes it was racist, have made excuses like...

"they are only saying it's racist because she is Indian, it's her personality"

or

"political correctness gone mad"

what people have failed to realise is the racist comments made on the programme by the contestants, so it was racist

I noticed this in a dicussion about it recently, and I was in disbelief

PS: I am white

I hate old people, they are ugly and stupid. The drive so slow in the fast lane. They hold up lines at the grocery store saying they were shorted 5 cents. I can't stand them. I think a person should be forced into a nursing home and can't leave when they turn 70. What do you think?

Why do foreign countries have a better educational School System}? Maybe we study how they do things and I think it goes back to strong family ties and the unit of family?}

I am Anglo-Welsh, and I don't mind the odd taking the mick out Wales, but comments like "sheep-shagger" are actually offensive, but people don't recognise that.

Also, when Anne Robinson, tried to put Wales in Room 101, she got away with it, and was moreless applauded for it. But if it was any other country, like Ireland, that would never be allowed.

Also, we aren't recognised as a country like Scotland or Ireland.
