    Heterosexual marriages exist to establish property rights, and to indicate the lineage of any children. These days, it may be useful to highlight inherited medical problems. Historically, it also had the effect of gaining societal approval of activities you otherwise didn't talk about.Same-sex "marriages" are biologically sterile unions, and seem only to exist to establish property and inheritance rights with the maximum tax avoidance on the same basis as heterosexual marriage.And why stop there? How about bisexual (i.e. three-way) marriage? Or four-way?Same-sex "marriage" is no more marriage than nationalisation is socialism.

    Let me ask a hypothetical question with a factual basis. My aunt and my uncle were wed in 1977 and my uncle passed away last year but they never had children. Since the marriage was devoid of "lineage", is their marriage to be considered null and void?

    Not sure how Jürgen Klopp would react but Slaven Bilić might be interested in a subscription to the Standard. Bilic's 'socialist' Beşiktaş maintains 100 percent record with Gaziantepspor victory

    Numbers can often look good on their own, but in context they are inconsequential.Of course what your saying is right, it isn't logical that a programme of cutting everything would lead to growth. If there is less money moving in the system, why would there be anything to pay off debts (ignoring of course that money is a form of debt).  For a business, it can lead to larger profit margins in the short term but without investment it ends up in catastrophe in the long term. General Motors was a great example of this when they filed for bankruptcy a few years back.

    Divide and rule. It also helps those who commit fundamentalist Christian (or Christianists as the media should call them if they were to follow their example on Islam) at the top are who overwhelmingly white and male. The way they may perceive it, and often spin it, as misbehaving women who shouldn't have gotten themselves into such a situation and shouldn't be kicking up a fuss over nothing and that men's rights are taken away by abortion. This isn't overt of course, the newsmedia prefers to show things from a slightly different angle.At the end of the day, the act doesn't make it terrorism in their eyes – the person who commits the act makes it terrorism.

    Quite an interesting survey as it goes. I like that you can answer the question on how a "workers' state" would be run any way you like, I put "workers' state is a contradiction in terms".
