Children don't need to learn about marriage, period.
It's something you think about as an adult when you're capable of making such a huge commitment to another person. *haven't read the thread* |

But what did you do? You then pretended I had made a post somehow saying that only homosexuals had multiple-partners. I said NOTHING like that. So why are you using a 'drop the BS' tone and then go for that kind of sneaky manipulation, false attribute, subject-changing gaming? What I did was tell you there are serious studies showing an astonishing promiscuity among homosexuals. This is not my 'opinion'. this is studies like this: Quote:

Did you notice that there is no logical implication of this? Since you are making 'Drop the Nonsense' posts I want you to see this clearly. Now this does militate against the idea that gays are simply a 'parallel' to heterosexuals (in the sense of long-term relationships such as marriage). Again, since you are interested in 'get off the BS' straight-talking facts here is an interesting study: Quote:

So what? Why do you say this is an 'irrational fear' of homosexuals to report these studies? Since you need to make 'clear the air' and 'get to the reality' point I would like you to lay down step-by-step hard logic showing how this is 'homophobic' (whatever that means)? Feel free to lay down the harsh reality anytime. Try to do this while addressing the actual topic and not 'what other people do'. |

They should learn about equally and how being gay isn't wrong and nor is being straight wrong. But there is no need to teach about marriage full stop.

In Canada they have gone down over the last few decades. 'The crude divorce rate in Canada has decreased (per 100,000 population) from a high of 362.3 in 1987 to 220.7 in 2005.' Or to put it this way: The divorce rate for first marriages is likely lower; “first marriages have a 67% chance of lasting a lifetime.” I might try and google UK rates.. 'The rate of divorce in the United Kingdom has been dropping in recent years. In 2007 the divorce rate in England and Wales was recorded at 11.9 people per every 1000 (1.2%) of the married population. This is the lowest divorce rate recorded since 1981.[31] It fell again in 2008 to 11.5 per thousand,[32] the lowest rate since 1979.' Not sure what the explanation is but i always wonder if 'aging population' might factor in that? As for 'cheating' during marriage there is one statistic that went around a few years ago: '-22 percent of married men have strayed at least once during their married lives. -14 percent of married women have had affairs at least once during their married lives.' Now here is the interesting thing to notice... 14% of women. You see the question arises? because 22% of men are having affairs with SOMEONE?? One suggestion was that 'cheating wives' were more likely to cheat with several different married men. But the lowering divorce rates thing is probably a good sign no matter what. Most people will never get divorced and most will never have infidelity (affairs) outside the marriage. That we can say 'most' is a good thing i suppose. |
I'm not sure what the actual figures are El Proximo, I do know alot of people, especially alot of friends parents and my own parents who have recently been divorced. I'm glad to hear that the divorce rate is dropping though. I wonder is it more likely that marriages will last because people are allowed have sex before marriage now and don't need to get married to be able to do this like they did in the past? Or maybe people won't stick at marriage and will give up easier because it's more acceptable to do that now?

Judging by these statistics it would seem the meaning of all marriages should be taught in school
|
bollocks
|
Damn I can't copy it, but if you can be bothered to Youtube '10 years of gay marriages in Netherlands' the statistics lend for a good argument that marriage in general should be taught in school
|
I think they should be taught that there are very few gay people in the world and that if you watch a lot of tv you get the impression there are lots.
|
I have already been taught about gay marriage at school
|
Look at the people who get divorced and its all about the people themselves and not the institution.
Children should be taught how to get on with people full stop, how to communicate, listen continue to learn when school stops. |

It was clearly a video in favour of protecting marriage in the so called 'normal' meaning of it but I also agree that if you have the ideal parenthood state then there is a lot of love and peace likely in that family unit. Most of the video made sense to me definately. I am not against gay marriage,I have gay friends (men and women),who I would battle for the rights of and protect all I could. I have said to them at times though, I am sort of puzzled as to why it is felt that same sex marriages need to be called that, for decades gay men and women have fought the establishment of marriage that often has led to great persecution of them for being gay anyway, why they would want to then be part of that 'establishment' by being called married themselves has puzzled me a bit.That's another issue I guess. It was an informative video and it opens up new thought on the matter,Thanks for that rhino, I love to learn on all subjects and appreciate you directing me to it. |

this is a very very small % of the population who is (as we see here) attracts a massive amount of attention, government time and efforts, studies and cause contribution. And yes if you watch TV you would believe gays are absolutely everywhere and a significant portion of the population. |
Gay people, no matter what the percentage, are and always will be a significant portion of the population. And therefore should have the same rights and freedoms as straight people.
They are significant. They matter. It really doesn't matter about the % (which we can't agree on anyway). |
