noone is saying any of that is 'acceptable', that is a different standard

commitment is ENCOURAGED, lying cheating divorce is not ENCOURAGED by the law or the culture,,,they just are things that happen

many things happen of different levels of 'acceptableness'

but what we actively ENCOURAGE or DISCOURAGE is a different matter


so, no, its not ok to lie to your partner, but its not illegal, we dont discourage it through our culture or our laws

it is not ok to lie ona stand either, and it is ILLEGAL to do so,, we try to discourage it through the culture and the laws, there is alot at stake during a trial (often someones freedom or their life) which warrant active DISCOURAGING of that type of lying

just like there is alot at stake when heterosexuals mate (often ending in another CITIZEN being created) which warrant active ENCOURAGEMENT and support of that type of commitment


it may be acceptable to some for homosexuals to mate, but that doesnt warrant a significance that should have to be encouraged and supported by law or society,,,

Thats just.sooo not right..Im a.single.mum with.5 young kids. And.they dont.suffer from poverty..They have everything.they need :)

it was never implied that all single parents will have kids in poverty

its only stated that marriage is going to decrease the propensity for children to live in poverty

much like a balanced diet helps people maintain a healthy weight

although not all people eating balanced diets have healthy weights and not all people with healthy weight eat a balance diet
