					<description>I agree that weddings have gotten over the top, but your rant on the institution of marriage screams &quot;I have committment problems, stop asking me why I'm not married!&quot;

It's one thing when a guy says, &quot;Yeah baby, I love you, I don't want to date anyone else.&quot; But wouldn't you think it were weird if he said that were the case yet refused to hold hands with you in public? Acknowledge that he is in a relationship on Mypace (How utterly modern.) If you tell your partner &quot;Yes, I will be here for you while we raise our children and when we finish, I will be there for you when you are old and gray,&quot; that's fabulous. But telling saying it in front of God, clergy/legal authority, family, and friends, makes it more real. You no longer have to live up to the promises you said in private. Now you have to live up to the promise you made in front of the whole world, and if you fail, it's a million time more public.

Scared? Frightened at the idea? You should be, it's a serious step. But don't pull this &quot;marriage is outdated&quot; crap.  Just be honest about your issues.</description>

					<description>Weddings are also a symbol of others of the level of your commitment to your spouce. If people she a visual standard sign of commitment (aka the ring) then they will take the relationship with a higher seriousness.</description>

					<description>This piece is so cynical, that I'm not surprised that Bill Maher never made a cameo.

Anywho, my view is that weddings are a security blanket for the couple (however moreso for the women). It tries to shut off any possible chance of one of the mates bonding with someone else. 

Notice in modern films, that in tragic wedding sequences that if the prince falls in love with the enchanting beauty but is contractually obligated to marry the evil witch character, he must make the daring procalmation of true love before the wedding, otherwise there won't be a happy ending.

Ya see kids, marriage is a way for women to tie down their biological partners. And no, I'm not that sexist. I do have proof. 

Ahem...

Ya see, a man's primal urge, when it comes to breeding, is to spread his seeds with as many partners as physically possible in order to increase the odds of his genes passing onto the next generation.

A female's primal urge is to take one partner, and continuously fornicate with that one client, for her best odds of getting pregnant are attained by continous humping of one single specimen repeatedly.

So this is why men are so sleazy when it comes to procreation, by sleeping with as many women as possible his seeds will be sown across the entire field and his chances of having a successful swimmer reaching the 100 meter mark are increased with very lake they must traverse (to put it so bluntly). 

It is also notable that with each act of intercource, the odds of conception are 3% (based primarily on the lunar clock of the female, and less on the swimmer's gold medal performances).

So there is one highly sexist arguement over the purposes of marriage.
I guess I really shouldn't be complaining when it comes to cynicism.

If you think I'm wrong, umm...

Reply and please don't hate, appreciate.
(Note: This arguement is not necessarily mine, but one that was proposed to me by another some time ago. So don't make character assassinations abour beliefs that may or may not be mine. THANK YOU SEATTLE! WE LOVE YOU!)</description>
