By sticking his foot right up me ass. Cause I'm a shoe.

I work at a gas station in Arizona and it's been $2.439 for the longest time. Several months back in got as low as $1.75

We had that in Oklahoma too. There was a period of about 2 weeks in which gas was $1.50 / gallon. It was like Christmas.

I envy you that. And cheap powerful cars. Examples: All muscle cars. Ever, also GTR.

Americans drive a lot more on average, so it's difficult to compare. Overall, they might even pay more for petrol.

It's not that simple though. That argument only works for gay marriage on the assumption that regualr marriage is fine. I'm not just saying I don't like it. If I believe that marriage in general is a negative force on our society, culture, etc. and that divorce is even more damaging (which like 50% of marriages end up with), particularly on children, then it isn't 'problem solved' to just ignore it and not get married.

I understand, there might even be evidence supporting that argument. Though, beyond playing devil's advocate I can't see this becoming valid. The point I made was specifically tailored toward the gay marrage discussion. I'd have responded differently if that weren't the case, and it would be more sympathetic towards your point of view.

What if I am against marriage in all forms? Can I be against gay marriage?
Can I genuinely believe that heterosexual marriage is bad but the tradition is too strong to combat it, whereas homosexual marriage is also bad but actually fightable?

I don't think this should be thumbed down, but you can be against any form of marriage, that is up to you, the question is are you against homosexual or any other than heterosexual relationships? Or are you simply against marriage of any form?

I have no issue with normal relationships, whether straight or gay, I just think that marriage is, on balance, a negative force on society. Divorce is even worse, particularly on children, and about 50% of marriages end up in divorce.

It is my opinion that marriage promotes lies, false promises, materialism, maintains a slavery-esque ownership of women attitude, causes depression, devalues vows/oaths/promises etc. and devalues the concept of personal honour. I think those who get divorced usually do so by bad luck more than poor judgement or personal character. I don't think I need to explain what's bad about divorce, especially for children.

In general, I think society should be encouraging less people to get married, not expanding it to greater demographics.

Then don't get married. Problem solved. Why must everyone else change becuase of what you believe in?

I hate calculating from $/gallon to kr/liter...
But isn't $1.05 per liter a good price? That's the price we had per liter in Norway in like 2005... Now it's almost $1.70 per liter or $6.28 per gallon.

Here in Houston it's like... 2.40 right now, back when OPEC was driving down oil prices it was under $2 a gallon at the right spots.

I feel for you guys, gas is bouncing around $3/gal on east coast US.
