He's right, weddings are bullshit, my brother wanted me to fork out over £1'000 to go watch him get married in Vegas, fuck that.

I'm seeing Doug next month and I'm gonna propose to him and then get my family to come to Australia to watch me get a civil partnership.

"If marriage didn't exist, would you invent it? Would you go "Baby, this shit we got together, it's so good we gotta get the government in on this shit. We can't just share this commitment 'tweenst us. We need judges and lawyers involved in this shit, baby. It's hot!"

Story of my life, so perfectly brilliant and funny. Is Doug Stanhope big time yet? Why the fuck not? Hes nothing like George Carlin but he sure has the same attitude toward the useless shit humans tend to do. I love it =]

I've told this to my girlfriend so many times. It's the same relationship but with a fancy party. I could give a shit about actually being married... rather save the money for a house or something tangible.

I love weddings, but this is hilarious :)

@bssmart1118 Yea I saw a Richard Dawkins speach in Duke University recently and he was saying we should start calling it the Fact of Evolution so the average joe can start to understand.

@iurhviusdfavhi You are 100% correct. The human genome project and DNA testing proves we are related to apes (and all other life on earth) just as a DNA paternity test proves who your father is.

I just want to correct you on one point. A THEORY is a tested hypothesis. Theory pretty much already means FACT. If it were called the "Hypothesis" of Evolution that would be incorrect.

The THEORY of evolution is the correct scientific term, it's just that people don't know what "theory" means

[iurhviusdfavhi]

@bssmart1118 Actually no The most recent DNA and fossil results gave evoltution a 100% proof positive so its no longer officially the "theory of evolution" its now OFFICIALLY "THE FACT OF EVOLUTION" so I guess that Means Richard Dawkins is not wrong at all. Also there is no proof of jesus, I dont doubt there was a guy named jesus back in those days lol, there were probably thousands of people named jesus

I don't debate on YouTube comments. 500 characters is only enough to give an opinion, or a heavily abbreviated point. Besides, its a comedy routine!

On the same token, I could say that women are granted control of what to do with the couple's child, as far as abortion goes, and they're granted control of the kids (and cash) in a divorce situation 90% of the time. And, again, I agree that marriage shouldn't be contractual from a government's perspective, but to dismiss it as archaic on the grounds that women are negatively affected by it is a joke; hence gold-diggers and so fourth. Update, it's not the days of yore anymore.

@mussman717word

I swear I wrote that longer ago...

Anyway, its not the "sex-card". Its the baby certificate (or family starting contract)!

@iurhviusdfavhi

Haha, there is historical proof of Jesus Christ (Yeshu); whether he rose from the dead or was God's incarnation, that's up for debate. And, as far as God goes, it shouldn't be about the existence of a divine power -- which is quite obvious -- it should be about the nature of this great source of it all. Believe me, there is nothing funnier than watching the Pat Robertson's of this world duke it out with the Richard Dawkins'. Both are assholes, both are wrong, and LOL @ both.

@GriffinNary

What the fuck? Are you joking? Marriage serves a great purpose in life, spiritually. The fact that the government should NOT be involved is completely logical, whereby to say marriage shouldn't exist is fucking stupid. To say the ceremonies are long and drawn out is just hillarious because it's true. To say you personally wouldn't take part in it is fine, of course; but don't don't demean the idea by calling the sex-card because that's not fucking true at all.
