I seem to have developed a random interest in bookbinding

So, here is my first book. All 64 pages of it. Took me an hour to sew the thing up. Anyway, 4 cherry bakewells later, it's done. Just need to make some form of cover for it.

The road from Dollgellau to Betws ye coed must be one of the most awesome scenic drives in the UK outside of the very wilds of Scotland.
Its difficult to keep your eyes on the road, the mountains just mock your puny size.

More women voluntarily going back to rooms in drunken state (with drunken men) making out, falling asleep, waking up and deciding what they got up to must have been non-consentual as they don't remember consenting, and trashing mens careers many years later by sharing their pain.

I don't understand why nobody is saying that.

They always deny the events, but never give their interpretation of it, rather it never happened.

Cause you are not being pc if you doubt women these days. We have gone past parity and into womens rights trump mens on certain subjects.

Civil partnerships: Law to change for mixed-sex couples

Mixed-sex couples clamoring for access to the watered-down marriage-lite status that the government grudgingly gave to same-sex couples before eventually allowing them full marriage years later.
Are people really desperate for this? The only people I've seen animated by it are homophobic trolls.

 

[Scouse]

That's a glenn from the very post above you @Exioce.

I get it totally though - it's not "watered down marriage-lite" as far as I know - it gives the same legal status as being married without the actual marriage ceremony - which frees people from the religious bullshit that marriage is, correct?

What do you get when you're married that you don't get in a civil partnership?


Personally, I think you're fucking bonkers to do either. Doubly so with marriage - fucking stupid expensive weddings and for what? There's nothing that can't be covered off with a sensible will and you're no more likely to stay together because of a ring on your finger or a piece of paper than when you just choose to do so...

 

[Exioce]

Not convinced there's anything intrinsically religious about marriage. It's an institution that both pre-dates modern religions, and can be done nowadays in entirely atheistic ceremonies.

Opting for the temporary fudge of 2004-2013 won't age well I reckon.

Dunno but it did seem weird that opposite-sex couples were banned from it. Fine by me.

They split marriage into "marriage" (traditional + religion) and "civil marriage" (done by registrar). Both convey identical rights.

Civil partnerships I think you're just not allowed to refer to yourselves as married - and adultery is not a reason by which you can dissolve the partnership.

I can imagine that the framers in 2004 did not even imagine it would be interpreted as something they were banning from mixed-sex couples, just assumed that nobody else would volunteer for the obviously temporary grudging concession for same-sex couples.

People would very much like to choose civil partnerships over marriage precicely because of marriage's bullshit batshittery baggage.

If my o/h demanded we "married" - i.e. that it was a dealbreaker that we had to tie some sort of weird knot for <insert made-up reason> then I'd choose a civil partnership too, precicely to avoid marriage.

Don't know why you're all "temporary grudging concession for same-sex couples" either? Unless you're either desparately pro-marriage or secretly anti-gay. Gay couples often want the civil partnership because the christian god fucking hates them, along with all his battery of identikit followers. Straight couples (or whatever else) who hate the idea of god can choose it too. And there's nothing "temporary" about it.

Why not? Don't see any issues there at all...

Loads of people living together in the UK think they have rights (especially around inheritance, communal property etc.) under the Common Law, but in reality they don't and never did. This now enshrines rights short of marriage, and unlike marriage is instantly dissolveable, which is probably the only true benefit over simply getting married in a civil ceremony.

Article 2: The right to life.

Article 2 - linked here - is being used succesfully as part of the prosecution of our government against environmental hazards, including air pollution that kills 40,000 people prematurely every year.

So well done human rights act. Helping defend human life.

Doesn't stop every married cunt under the sun laughing as they tell me I'm going to lose all my cash (or something) under some none-exsitent common-law bullshit.

Honestly, I don't know why so many people hate their own life choices so much that they have to make shit up about other people's to make themselves feel better.

Bit weak in the collateral bombing damage going against the UN area though.
The human rights is real good at high profile trendy people rights, but not so good on the little brown kids blown apart from the air area.

In other words its a pile of shit, grandstanding charter that is worse than what it replaced.

1) It was never about war. It was about preventing governments fucking us over in our own country - which it's been *very* successful at.

2) What did it replace, exactly?

I dont know why you think you choices are so great that everyone is jealous of them tbh.
