Search Results: gay marriage

For 99% of people in Australia hate him, or least thing of him as an embarrassment to Australia. Obviously, I don't what people think from other countries about him, so this is where you come in.

I'm not just talking about his looks, although he does look hideous in his budgie-smugglers! Are some people more embarrased by their prime ministers views or what.

Australians hate him because he is very old fashioned, hence why we don't have gay marriage legalised yet. But he also treats the government budget like his allowance buying used army jet fighters days before ANZAC day, then announcing that all Veteran and elder pensioners will receive a cuts. Pretty much a day before ANZAC day. Tony Abbott reintroduces knight and dame honours for Australians, then he feels he has to defend himself as he immediately thinks about giving himself a Knight honour.

There was a massive protest a couple of months ago but no one knew about it because he payed of the media, not to show it.

He also cut education and health budgets. His main campaign for becoming Prime minister was to drill in the fact that Julia Gillard had many broken promises and the he would not do so. I know many politicians lie whilst campaigning but some of the very main points he promised he broke straight away. It's ridiculous when one of his main campaign points was to be a parliament with promises that are not broken and a more stable, grown-up Liberal party.

All we have seen since his election is him running around in his budgie-smugglers, cutting all the vital things like health, education and enough money for elders to live on. While he sits in a jet fighter cutting Veterans support days before ANZAC day. He lies about promises and then slams the other party for breaking promises.

he's an embarrassment.

I know this question has been asked many times, but I want current opinions and fresh perspective from some of the younger users on here too.

in my opinion, marriage has become a business, a way to cheat the system, and an excuse to commit a battery of immoral acts. Now before I go further, let me first state that although I am a modern Pagan, I still believe that a married couple should honor certain morals and values.

I do not believe sex out of wedlock is wrong IF you are both of consenting age. I believe the term cheating is only applicable when your are hiding it from your partner and/or do not have their permission to sleep with a certain individual.

In most cases, I do not agree with getting married simply because you're pregnant. You don't have to be married to be in the child's life, or to help cover the cost of care. It's just not worth risking raising the child in a negative environment if the couple is a bad match.

I believe anyone who wants to marry should be allowed.

But back to my main points. Marriage is used every day to cheat the government out of money, spouses will use the M card to gain access to the SO's private information, and there are far too many people out their cheating simply because they are afraid of a messy divorce battle. Anit-Gay couples will use their marriage to justify hate crimes and violence against homosexuals, and there are far too many children suffering with unfit parents, simply because the state sees that two parents live in the home.

A ring will NOT guarantee loyalty or or fidelity. A piece of paper will not ensure that your spouse will take care of you financially, but many still assume this.

I'm a modern woman, and I feel that in this age, both parties should be capable of supporting themselves in the event of job loss or separation. With that notion, I really don't see much point in a ring, beyond employee benefits that extend to the spouse.

How do you guys feel?
