RE: Marriage
Don't think humans is really meant to have the same partner or have children with same person. May sound like a biology teacher but it's all about spreading your genes.

However you shouldn't get more then two kids, so in that aspect isn't it wrong to just get one kid with one person. However you should have sexual relationship should be more then one person.

RE: Marriage
Lol Giff. I wouldn't use the word 'should' here at least lol. I think it's up to the individual to decide if they want more than one partner or not.

Evolution is about the spread of genes, yes. But evolution is not a philosophy.

Evolution is the meaning of HOW life comes ABOUT. But it certainly isn't the ultimate meaning of life. There's no evidence for that - there's no evidence for there being an ultimate meaning of life at all.

Humans aren't 'meant to' ultimately do anything. If they spread their genes their genes will survive - but there is nothing to ultimately, objectively and absolutely say that they SHOULD do this. Evolution is not a philosophy - it's up to the person.

They're not going against any law or meaning or 'ultimate purpose' if they chose to never have sex at all for example.

Evolution is spread through genes - but there is nothing to say that we are 'meant to' spread or genes or 'should' - that's just what happens. If our genes spread then 'WE spread'.

It's 'all about spreading our genes' - evolution IS yes. But that's not to say that's what we SHOULD do - it's up to us. It depends on your opinion and your own purpose and desire.

There's nothing to say we're 'meant to' or 'should' other than your own personally opinion. It's fine if that's what YOU want to do - but there's nothing to say that others or people in general should. It's up to the individual what they do with their life. There's no law that says you 'should' spread your genes. That's just the way evolution does operate - we're not 'meant' to go out and 'live' that way[/i]. It's up to us.

You'r probably right about the spreading the genes part. Not nessessary in todays moderns world.

But you shouldn't really get more then one kid and maximum two. You know we have to think about the population so it doesn't grow to big.

RE: Marriage
You double quoted and replied the same thing so I deleted one of the copies.

Well I dunno about the kids, cos of the overpopulation thing. I understand about China at least though - dunno about many other overpopulated countries.

Well, once they're had they're had though. And I'm the eldest of 5 children - I wouldn't fucking cut 3 of us out! (Nor would I wish any of us hadn't been born simply because of 'overpopulation' - I love my bros and sisses too much and I'm glad they were ALL born! Totally! Duh!).

It's different once it's already happened I guess. As perhaps it was different back then 15-20 years ago etc?

And I totally understand China's problem (and as I have said I don't know much about other countries overpopulation problem's - but then China is always the obvious example anyway).

No problem lol Smile

No use you having the same thing twice. I mean, even you intended it - it's a waste LOL. People might as well just read the same thing twice -there would be no need to POST it twice lol Smile

Oh yeah though - of course I know you didn't intend it Smile - especially now that you have just said that you didn't even notice it! (As I suspected it or you would have very probably corrected it yourself, I'm sure).
