Also, there are large Vietnamese communities in big cities such as Vancouver and Toronto, so you'd feel more at home, rather than living in a smaller centre.Buddy Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052407067718899985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970098682068094639.post-28385467490372157112011-01-19T17:11:42.827-07:002011-01-19T17:11:42.827-07:00Sorry to be the wet skunk in the ointment, but it ...Sorry to be the wet skunk in the ointment, but it seems to me that there are some flaws in the idea of gay marriage.<br /><br />I think you hit the nail on the head when you said, "Marriage in Canada was essentially redefined as being between between 'persons' rather than being between a man and a woman." What same-sex couples wanted was what opposite-sex couples had. But they didn't get it. What they got was a redefined institution — something different. Many gay people are unable or unwilling to recognize that what happens when same-sex marriage is legalized is not equal rights to marriage as it has been, but a new kind of marriage. And of course, the big difference is that the state says procreation and marriage are unrelated. Because, if the state thought that marriage had anything to do with procreation, it could never consider calling a same-sex relationship marriage. Whether two people love each other is essentially none of the state's business. Whether they have the bodily organs that make reproduction possible and are willing to commit to staying together is very important to a state that wants a next generation.<br /><br />I think one place where the advocates of same-sex marriage committed their fallacy, and the courts and legislatures who fell for it erred, was in treating marriage as a matter of an individual's rights, when marriage involves a couple. The question was never whether a specific individual had a right to marry. It was a question of whether a given couple was capable of marriage. And until marriage was redefined into something different from what it had always been, the law recognized that the same-sex couple was incapable of marriage. There was no denial of individual rights.naturgesetzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15268507379933286863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970098682068094639.post-59706312299766836842011-01-18T21:15:51.167-07:002011-01-18T21:15:51.167-07:00I will be intrigued to see what happens nextI will be intrigued to see what happens nextUr-spohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04237644452200889946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970098682068094639.post-61535563224122573212011-01-17T21:11:20.418-07:002011-01-17T21:11:20.418-07:00Are you heading this way?Are you heading this way?Ur-spohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04237644452200889946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970098682068094639.post-74817024971847969312011-01-17T05:45:10.110-07:002011-01-17T05:45:10.110-07:00I heard many times that Canada is amazing place to...I heard many times that Canada is amazing place to LIVE.
