Here's where I think the problem is with what you're talking about. - A marriage is a civil institution that allows a couple to be united as a family under the law. In most countries it is the only legal status that provides for this. For the sake of clarity, I'm going to refer to this as...

How do you feel about people like judges or public servants marrying couples outside of a religious setting and with no religious involvement, and religions having the autonomy to marry or refuse to marry whoever they want in the setting of their own religions and houses of worship?

I'd love to be able to enter and exit any country I'd like to, whenever I'd like to, and stay wherever I wanted to as long as I wanted without worrying about visas.

The thing is that full legal equality can only exist when gays are allowed to enter into the same relationship recognition system that already exists. Even the best civil union systems haven't been truly legally equal. Specifically regarding the United States, same-sex marriages have to be...

First of all, I'm not from the EU either, in fact lots of countries in Asia and the Pacific, like Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand have universal healthcare too. Secondly, it's unwise to pooh-pooh universal healthcare because you're confusing one...

I live in a single payer country. My last experience dealing with the healthcare system was a couple of months ago when I woke up with a killer ear infection. Without having made an appointment I walked to the clinic a couple of blocks away and within an hour I'd seen the doctor and gotten some...

Ranked in order of my personal preference: D3: I'm surprised so few people seem to like it, and everyone's criticisms of it are what I love about it. It was very silly... but I think if a Disgaea game wasn't silly it wouldn't be a Disgaea. The characters and their interactions with each...

What you just described is universal healthcare. Not all universal healthcare follows the single payer method where everyone is a member of the government's public insurer which is funded by taxes. Most countries that do have universal healthcare use a system which consists of strict price...

Maybe after a few years. The PS4 looked a lot more appealing to me, even without Microsoft's fuck ups.

Johnny Gat. Ever since this moment I've been in loooooooove.

Yep. When Xenoblade came out in Australia I waited a long time for the price to drop a tiny little bit from below $90 or $100, instead it just disappeared and I ended up having to import a European copy because I couldn't find an Australian copy, new or used, anywhere. If it was a PS3 or 360...

Final Fantasy VI - Almost everyone I know around my age thinks that FFVI is the best Final Fantasy, and often the best RPG ever made. While I liked some of the characters and most of the game's basic concepts, I thought the game was pretty boring and uninteresting, especially compared to other...

This was an incredible episode, but I think the episode with the single biggest impact for me that I've seen (only seen seasons 1-4) is Crawl Space. My skin was covered in goosebumps and my jaw was on the floor at the end of it, it was incredible. Having trouble picking episodes from other...

Clothing, specifically school uniforms, certain sports/athletic uniforms, suits, and some other things, worn in inappropriate places. People tell me it's very vanilla but I think it's weird because I've never met anyone with the same one. :p

Definitely this. There isn't much on the Vita yet, unfortunately, but you can't go wrong with Disgaea 3, and keep an eye out for Ys: Memories of Celceta, which is coming soon, and Mind=0, which just came out in Asia and I'm hoping will get picked up for an English language release, cause it...
