Canada is now officially the fourth country to sanction same-sex marriage.

Good job senators.

:D

http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2005/07/19/samesex050719.html

Bah. The government shouldn’t sanction any marriage. It should be a private matter. Still, good job Canada.

t00br canada! w00t! Go CAN! :fluffle:

Great job. Let's hope the rest of the world will soon follow...

Sometimes, I think that Canada is the last bastion of sanity on the continent.

Congratulations Canada. That's four countries with some common sense. :)

Woohooo! Yay for Canada.

Go Canada. Maybe the rest of the world will awake from its 'moral' induced stupor and do the same thing.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!

Canada, we love you! :)

Not so fast, I just looked out my window and the sky fell. The town is nearly unpopulated and those remaining who aren't now homosexual are marrying domesticated animals and fetuses. I've also received reports of churches all across the country left with the awkward decision of how to handle gay marriages while not offending one group in favour of another. Boo flippin' hoo!

You say that like they were bad things.

Only half of it is true and not sarcasm. :)

Netherlands, Belguim, and Spain were the first three, right?

Netherlands, Belguim, and Spain were the first three, right?

I think so. But I have to point out that Germany legalised same-sex civil unions with the same effective rights as marriages.
That's because in Germany, state and religion are seperated and the state only hands out civil unions to begin with ;)

Erm... sorry to crush your dreams, but Germany does not do that.
The German state has marriage officially recognized. A straight couple goes to the town hall or wherever, and gets married, and subsequently enjoys all kinds of financial advantages, and also is allowed to adopt hellspawn, if they want.
Anyone can sign up for a civil union (called Eingetragene Lebenspartnerschaft, one of the most cumbersome terms for them I have ever heard), no matter if a it's a same-sex or different-sex couple. They are given some benefits of marriage (hospital visitation rights, inheritance, etc.), but have not the same status when it comes to taxes or, heaven forbid, adoption.
The countries which hand out civil unions which have an equal status compared to traditional marriages are the Scandinavian countries, whch only haven't (yet) come around to call those civil unions marriages, or vice versa.

Which is why Canada&Co. absolutely rule, Sweden&Co. still rock and Germany et al. are on the border of rocking, imo.

I agree. There's a difference between recognition (which is what has been done in Canada), and sanction in which you must be married "in this way" to receive rights.

New Zealand is similar to germany with regards to civil unions.

BOOOOOO! Cananda what are you thinking! This is a bad descision! God Made Man and Woman to harmonize together! :D Not Pervert And Pervert!



Bad Choice Canaduk fool!

Yes, we Canadians do rock. C'mon you US liberals! Flee north to the good life!

A question: two gay men, or two lesbians, come from the USA to Canada and get married here. When they return to the USA, are they still married? :confused:

Very important question, as it will happen, and has been with European homosexual couples going to Holland to have a ceremony for a long time - but no other countries, once they've got back, have accepted their newlywed status. It's just a way of having a nice ceremony like any heterosexual couple.

I live in Massachusetts. I don't have to go anywhere. :D

And no. I believe a straight couple from Canada would have to apply for a marriage license if they emigrated to the US. I don't think marriage licenses transcend national boundaries.

Homo's will burn in hell anyway for wasting the seed so have fun while you can. A worse ending awaits you in the afterlife so I don't even need to bash you for being gay.

Never polished the knob? Imagine the seed you're wasting.

LMAO! Are you religious?

Well isn't that special.


















Ed.

Great (sarcasm). That makes Canada the fourth country that I've lost all respect for. Good job senators (more sarcasm).

well, I for one am very religious, and think this is a great thing. No, homosexuals won't burn in hell, if you burn in hell for every little thing, you will burn in hell for judging. God said don't do that. Jesus never said anything about homosexuals being wrong, he only said to love and respect EVERYONE!, even those you concider to be sinners. And if you concider someone a sinner, you are one yourself, no judging!

Lol I am pretty sure they don’t care about your respect

I got a chunk of sky lodged in my left eye, and I can't seem to flush it out with water.

Damn this execrable freedom!

Ed.

Okay, I'm normally pretty good at following your convoluted thought processes, but WTF?????

Netherlands, Belguim, and Spain were the first three, right?
I thought it was Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark?
:confused:

I love you Canada - once I learn French and can start a business I am so there.

Depending where you want to live, you don't need to learn french.

Having had a look at the immigration requirements, it still gives you points to learn french though right? I took the quiz to see if I had the points and I didn't :(.

Maybe Dobbs will marry me. :D

If you know the French tongue, you could get a nice job around here.

Otherwise, it isn't really a requirement to learn the language. Yes, you do get extra points for it.

Look at the bright side: If you learn french, you can move to Quebec. Rent is cheap there.

It can't hurt, that's for sure ;)

I didn't have to immigrate so I am completely clueless when it comes to the requirements to be allowed to immigrate. I think your best bet is to find a long-lost yet close relative. That must be worth a few points on the entry form.

I took French in high school and did well but have forgotten it all. :headbang: <- too much of that plus I never had anyone to use it on. I shoulda just taken spanish but perhaps my classes will come in handy in teh future.

I can French the tongue rather well though. I love Hockey too - tonsil hockey.

I'll need to points for an immigration acceptance, although maybe not if I own my own business.

Where I really want to move is Vancouver or that island near it can't remember name though but I remember seeing pics of beauty.

It can't hurt, that's for sure ;)

I'll have to look into that!

I took it … I pass by one point lol

How'd you do that? Do you know french? I forgot all the requirements, because I took it a couple years ago.

Where I really want to move is Vancouver or that island near it can't remember name though but I remember seeing pics of beauty.
That would be the Vancouver Island where the capital of BC, Victoria, is. Ironically, the city of Vancouver is not on the Vancouver Island.

Oh okay. That is sort of odd. Is it also called Queens Island or something?

I love ignorance. First, I was under the impression that the decision wasn't based on sin, since we're all sinners. Second, how does God look on people who openly wish for, and rejoice over, people going to hell? I know the answer to that and I hope you learn the error of your ways.

How'd you do that? Do you know french? I forgot all the requirements, because I took it a couple years ago.
Work experience I guess lol I dont know even without being able to "listen" in french (by marginal) that was only one point I would have still been accepted

(I got a 38 when below 37 is the cutoff)

I got a 51, but you need a 67 to get in. Canada won't have me. The bastards.

Those poor people, now they will have to suffer too, I mean enjoy the happiness and pleasure of marriage.

Some more schoolin or something lol

Whoa - I took the test just now and got

Your final score is: 73

I am pretty sure I answered the questions correctly.



YAY MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Could be, my Canadian Geography courses are a dozen years behind me. My memory is getting fuzzy.

Ha! Based on education, language ability, work experience and age alone I got a 73, pretending I'd never studied, worked, been to, or had family in Canada. I guess this means I can stay?

You better have ALOT of money if you want to move to Vancouver or Vancouver Island. B.C. has one of the higher costs of living in the country and the second lowest average pay. Vancouver Island tends to have a lower cost of living thn the rest of B.C.
I cannot get into Canada either. I scored 28. I got zeros in Education in Work Experience because i'm still in highschool. 21 of my points were from language

In case I overstated my credentials I retook the test and put the minimum to be sure I could back it up and got a 67.

I wonder if they have somethign similar for the US (???)

Yup. The test goes like this.

Choose which most accurately describes the amount of money you currently have in the bank:

1) $
2) $$$
3) $$$$$$$$$$
4) $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
5) (there are not enough dollar signs to accurately describe my wealth)

:D

Ha! Based on education, language ability, work experience and age alone I got a 73, pretending I'd never studied, worked, been to, or had family in Canada. I guess this means I can stay?

Just in case they reject me; me and my girl should marry you and your man (doesn't matter who marries who anymore now does it?) and live together as one big happy canadian familia

IN that case they will probably be happy to see me go

Unfortunately polygamy is not legal yet, so we'd have to be two happy couples instead of one big happy married...group. And just for the hell of it, I'll choose to marry your girlfriend:) (wait...is she filipina? mmmmm....)

I'm already spoken for, btw Sumamba.


Sorry and all that.


But polyamory will probably be the next big hurdle in sexual freedoms, so look out, Canada of 2015... or 2025... or whenever it happens. 'Til then I guess we could get married, but we'd have to 'keep it in the closet', so to speak.

LOL

Homo's will burn in hell anyway for wasting the seed so have fun while you can. A worse ending awaits you in the afterlife so I don't even need to bash you for being gay.

Your religion can't be proven and is most likely wrong.

Anyways congrats to canada for legalizing gay marriage...
