It's impossible to prove, but even Judaism admits that before Judaism there was marriage.
And before Judaism started, people believed in gods.
I'm finding it hard to believe that there was a legal structure developed 5,000 years ago that included marriage, yet that was completely separate from any religious or spiritual basis. Not just separate, but not even evolved from a religious or spiritual basis.
If any such legal system existed in the time before Judaism, or in any of the surrounding concurrent cultures, I'm sure there are academic sources outlining them.
Let me point out, I think that government should be out of marriage completely, since it is a personal issue. Two people don't declare their undying love because the government allows it. But declaring their undying love shouldn't change any legal status they have. What does a declaration of undying love have to do with anything in secular law?
I would love to hear a rational explanation for that one.
I just installed Server 2012 for a client, and it was my first view of it. Also, I don't use Windows 8, so am not used to the Metro crap either.
Trying to find the usual server configuration tools is ridiculous now. It's not that they are completely hidden like it Win8 (move mouse to random corner, something useful may appear), but trying to use them without having to escape from the metro tile field first is a nightmare.
Marriage was invented by the religious leaders, of all ancient civilizations, as a way to control their people. I say do away with all marriage as a horrible offense against humanity.
By the way, my wife doesn't (necessarily) agree with me.
How about something I will comprehend? You haven't managed to do that in your response.
I am not religious. I am not atheist. I am not agnostic. I don't care if God exists, or Zeus, or Vishnu, or Atius Tirawa, or any other deity.
So, for this non-religious person's sake, explain how religious people can't talk about "right and wrong". How do non-religious people define "right and wrong"? Is something "right" because the law says it is OK? Are all illegal activities "wrong"? I mention the law because if you don't use a church's definition of "right and wrong" do you use the government's definition instead?
As for marriage having nothing to do with a man and a woman, only with two people in love, how do you explain the marriages of royalty that ended wars between European countries not so long ago? Those marriages weren't valid in your eyes because they weren't for love?
That's why I use Speed Dial addon. I get to choose which sites are shown, and their placement.
First row: Google, Google Image, Google Maps, Google Translate (for all we hate Google, they are useful as hell) Second: three sites that outsource jobs to me, then Yahoo Third row: my bank, customer portal, Ebay, webmail portal
Why would any serious user let the browser pick the sites shown on a new tab?
Oh my god, you're right. His braindeadedness was so strong, it sucked me into its field.
In my defense, I never did like the equation for circumference always using (2r) instead of (d), especially since in many examples the circle's diameter (eg. round swimming pool, x units across) was what was given. I saw other kids back then having this very confusion, and that was 30 years ago.
Of all the clueless replies that are off the mark with regard to the "south pole solution", yours has the distinction of being the most braindead.
What is the circumference of a circle with radius r? It is (Pi * r^2), of course. So a circle with radius of 1 mile would have a circumference of (Pi * 1 * 1). If you can't figure that out to a closer approximation than "3 and a bit miles", please turn in your Geek Card, turn off your computer, pick up a ball, and go play sports with the jocks down the road.
No, he could think of other things to use it for. He just didn't do them. An art project isn't such a good idea when your kitchen burns down thanks to a faulty CO2 nozzle.
Professional offices are probably Keurig's biggest customer base now. Many places want to have coffee available for their current or potential clients. This gives them a way to appeal to many tastes, give that air of concern for individual attention, and not waste heat and water keeping an unconsumed pot of coffee warm all day.

Please don't give them any ideas.

Noob. :^)

Wait, wait, wait.

... I have replaced half a dozen SSD's that weren't really used for much other than OS data. What does that tell you?
OS data is poisonous?

Marriage pre-dates religion.
Proof?
Or do you define religion as "the Catholic Church"?

Hey, I hadn't had any caffeine yet. :^)

Thank you for correcting me.
Yahoo had this story yesterday, and we hashed out all the problems people had with the details.
If you want good scientific reasoning and intellectual thought, go read the Yahoo News article and comment section.

So, like a smaller version of the WORM (Write Once, Read Many) disks? A compact version of it, if you will.
No. If you "help yourself" to my car, I am directly hurt because I cannot get to my job, and I have to spend a lot of money to get a new car.
I don't pirate music and movies, but I agree with Immerman about the exaggeration of the results of others doing so.
Don't forget the unripe melons to simulate the breast implants, and a plucked chicken to simulate the razor bumps down below.
You must raise your own peanuts and grapes, if you think that system is easier than a PB&J.

Keurig is kind of like a drive thru, vs getting out of the car and getting it yourself.
Do you mean hunting?
Not Uber.

Unless they come up with a hot soft pretzel dispenser, they likely won't get me for a customer.
What? You haven't heard?
