"This movie may play well with the younger crowd, but it is in no way comparable to Old School or any of the American Pie franchise. The situations the group finds themselves in seem stretched and it is no surprise that the writing team for this film is founded in television as it plays more like a R-rated MadTV entry than it does something you want to fork over $13 bucks for." i have brought frozen veg burritos along with Pace picante salsa for lunch! :idea2:

check out the URL i gave above...all the info! :)

oh oh...they made a boo boo...now they can't be married...church won't allow it! :lol: :lol:

I saw Eurotrip last weekend....it's a trash movie, though the storyline of a guy falling in love with a german girl online was quite innovative. :idea2:

nooo...well, mass. supreme court just made this decision like last week...and they can't also write a new law. that now has to be done by mass. legislature, and they would have to. that's why there were so many protests in boston last week. and then last week, san francisco city government started giving out marriage licenses to gay couples....so that's why now everyone is talking about this topic. i hope some equitable means are found to accomodate everyone. :/

good luck to you, Victoria! i didn't know you played six-string. that's so cool! :cool:

awww *tucks you in* :D :P

actually, the Massachusetts state supreme court rejected this idea of having a separate piece of paper giving homosexual couples 'civil unions', on the basis that it is not equal to a 'marriage.' and in the eyes of the law, all u.s. citizens are equal. i'm not gay, so i don't know how gays would react to such a possibility. i don't care for it either way...

i'm fresh...awake...and ready to work! :idea2:

and yep, Eric, the Spartan soldiers were indeed gay, as was the high society of Athens. In fact, Spartan male children were forced to separate from their mothers and family home and instead were reared in some kind of soldier barracks, always getting prepared to fight in the city Phalanx. There was a wonderful PBS show on this 2 Sundays ago...at least in our region... but, these same men were never allowed to continue their gay relationships. The society of that time allowed gay relationships, but also demanded marriage with women in order to have procreation... 'cuz afterall, Athens was a city-state...didn't have a big population...it also had slaves who couldn't vote and were always feared for possible rebellion...so needed free men... but societies change.

remember, if you want to talk of u.s. government actions in terms of religion, then: religion DOES NOT EQUAL christianity religion = christianity, hinduism, buddhism, islam, atheism/humanism, jainism, sikhism, vodoo, zen, shinto, tao, judaism, etc... are u willing to come up with an idea of marriage that's the same in the eyes of all these religions? i bet you won't be able to. in which case, the only other option is, to talk of marriage in secular terms, as far as government is concerned. nobody is forcing you to marry another guy... (or girl) as the case may be...

ahh...i was waiting for someone to spring that man-dog relationship idea..how novel! :rolleyes: Eric, sorry, I didn't mean to use 'mormon' as a hurtful way or in a derogatory manner. I do know that properly, they're called The Church of Jesus Christ of Ladder Day Saints, but really, I thought it was just as well to use 'Mormon' and not mean harm. Sorry! As far as polygamy, I do realize that LDS outlawed it in late 1800s in order to conform with the common civil code of the U.S. However, there still are many cases of such polygamous relationships in Utah and it's border areas. One glaring example was showcased by ABC's 20/20 (or was it CBS ?) a few months ago, where even the government prosecutor agreed that people were turning a blind eye to such relationships unless a battered child came to the police... i'm sure it's a rare occurance though. and again, it is outlawed by the LDS. but my point in bring it up was to point out that even religion doesn't have one coherent idea of what a marriage is supposed to be. As to other issues brought up, I think Richard and Mr. Peed did a wonderful job of answering those! :-) wish I were here when this went down...could have contributed. and yes, actually, divorce was outlawed as late as 1990 in courtries like Chile; Argentina allowed legal divorce about that time as well. China too doesn't allow divorce to this day, AFAIK. so you see, you can't quote just one piece of bible and say gay marriages can't be allowed when the fact is 50% of all marriages in America end in divorce... not to mention that the 'marriage' we're talking about is a secular marriage, something in the eyes of government. it is so that health benefits, legal rites, succession, etc., can be carried on by those who wish to be gay couples. It is completely separate from any idea of 'marriage' in religious terms. Also, if you bring up religion in this matter, then why only talk of the bible? What about Koran, Bhagvad Gita, Dhammapada, etc? I'm sure all these other sacred books talk of how to live a righteous life! :idea2: Since when are we trying to push certain christian ideas down peoples throats? :rolleyes:

what's your real name? :wink3: :huh:
