Most people can also tell the difference between a response and a side step, I'd reckon. Now try to address the actual point in principle. Is your objection to Sharia law really only a matter of its severity?
Of course it isn't.

Of course it isn't.
Well, no, not directly, but that is the prevalent reason that people get married. As far as the state is concerned, all that is required is that the couple intend to be married. With the exception of a small handful of disqualifiers, the most restrictive of which is gender, that's all it takes.
They have the union, but not the legal recognition of it. And lacking the legal recognition, they are forced to live forever tenuous lives.
And now you can't be bothered to make your case. You're done.
I have been making an argument over the past several pages of this thread. The thing is, the Catholic Church isn't here to plead its case, and I'm not interested in taking it on in abstentia. Dropping the link I take to be your declaration of intent to abdicate the argument without being seen to have done so, in which case I will merely note the abdication on your part and move on.
It is, in fact, the only arguable reason I know of that the state takes an interest in couples raising children, which you seem to think is the cause for which the state subsidizes marriages.
Could you restate that in English please?
If we did allow them to contract, it would involve no less than permitting them to marry. So I'd say you've either spent the entirety of this thread arguing against it, or in a deep, deep confusion and misunderstanding.
And yet, it is a reason.
who agrees with this?
I do. Of course, then again I am not obsessed with what goes on in the bedrooms or marriages of other CONSENTING adults.
she doesn't like me
Rationalists, anyone with an abiding respect for equality before the law...that sort of person. I see you're still running from the fact that you feel that way too, push comes to shove. That or you'd answer my question.
Nobody likes you.
Who doesn't like you?
Anyone with at least average IQ and intellectual integrity.
only half of them
I do.
Maybe if your posts didn't look like poorly written haiku.
Confucius say half should not agree or like you
Well, I would ask "why do you think that is", however, I already know. Anyways, instead of having a pity party and distracting from this thread, why not start a thread of your own with a title of "Why don't people like me?"

we already have a thread about why Rusha doesn't like me
:dizzy:
It appears that you have no ability to form an argument no matter how much anyone likes or dislikes you.
you first have to be able to recognize one
Why can't you?
Oh yea ... the thread where you announced to TOL that I didn't like you, asked me why and then proceeded to TELL me why? That one?
So did you learn anything from that thread, Chrys?
