This is getting off topic, but I think it depends more on the professor than the college. Technologically inclined professors who understand wikipedia are more willing to accept it as one of many sources, while other (typically older) professors don't. | ||

With the same sex you cant make children soo is against nature but make people understant that is becoming hard. Keep going, in the future you all gonna open your EYES. People are already gay, letting them marry changes nothing, it just gives them the rights they deserve. | ||

Of course all legal rights and privelages would be the same in each, I would just hope a distinction would be made between the two. | ||

Marriage is a legal contract between two people who love each other. Be it two men, two women or a man and a woman. On July 08 2012 20:06 Kahuna. wrote: Lol at this initiative. Even Google has succumed to this backwardness that has been on the rise over the last couple of decades. It would be most fitting for them to now change the company's name to Gaygle, no? Wow, very witty. Not really though. | ||

It would mean that christians would have to somehow change the religion for it to be possible for gay people to get married there. This should be more like a campaign for allowing gay people to register their "marriage" in like a state office or something, because they can't for christianity to change their views, that are based on "a holy book" just because some gay people want to get married in a church. ps. not a christian, but this is just stupid. It's even more stupid that christianity monopolized marriage and got away with it, and got to dictate laws because of it. | ||

Marriage between an older man and a younger woman is called marriage. If it is self evident to people that discrimination based upon age and race are unnecessary then why the sticking point over orientation. No two people are the same and therefore no two marriages will ever be the same. Deciding you need to describe these marriages in detail, but not those, is absurd. | ||

Don't think they will actually lose customers. People might say they'll stay away from Google, but when nobody is looking, well there is no good enough alternative.. Think it'll be mostly big talk from some homophobes, but no way android users will sell their phones, gmail users will switch accounts, or Google users will stop googling. | ||

There will probably be the temporary outrage where people say they will never use google or any of there products again and then 2 weeks later are buying an android and googling a new cooking recipe. | ||

Would you propose a segregation in white and black marriage aswell? Would you had done so had you lived 50-100 years ago? Why would you not propose a segregation of religion and state? Wouldnt that make more sense, specially since not separating between law and religion is unbiblical? I mean, if you prefer living by religious law, you could move to the middle east. | ||

It would be hilarious to watch how my government responds to this, given how religious harmony is of utmost importance here. If the government loses the backing of religions, it's going to be a fiasco for them. Personally, I think this is a good step forward for humanity if everything works out well. The only thing Google is going to achieve it to cause discord in Singapore. While theoretically the law dictates that homosexuality can technically be illegal, it has never been, and will never be enforced in such a manner. | ||

That's a good point you raise actualy, I think if wasn't a logistics problem it would be a good idea to go back and define all marriages more clearly. How does it hurt anyone when all the same rules apply to all different instances of marriage, but we actualy describe them as what they are? | ||

The answer to your comment is fairly simple, the examples you provided lack the understanding to even comprehend the union they are forming. As long as both parties are fully able to understand what they are doing than they have the right to marry and live as they see fit (so long as how they live doesnt intrude on someone else's rights but that isnt case here). | ||
