    I have never heard of it, heard nothing in Norway.

    Though I read a bit about it (just now). Some sick stuff... Incredible what people can do.

    Come up with some lines for me to say, and I can demonstrate in a sound file. I may be able to get it done this weekend.

    Correct. I am very knowledgeable when it comes to the spoken Norwegian. The spoken Norwegian language has well over 500 dialects divided into a few large sections. I am capable of speaking them, and if you'd like a demonstration of the differences, I'd be glad to show (speak) them to you.

    Hmm... If memory serves me right, he just remembered words. "Cat" is one I remember he told me, which he pronounced Gato/Kato.

    And to the people wanting to learn Norwegian:
    Det er bare å spørre meg, så hjelper jeg gjerne.

    As far as why they want to get married, it's because it's the promise. It's the entire thing surrounding it, you want to call someone husband/wife instead of partner or boyfriend/girlfriend. When you're married, you're married. You've made a promise, etc.

    And as far as the tax benefits go, I think you are incorrect about the probability of having kids being reason for why they have the benefits. If people were to get tax benefits by having kids, can you imagine how many people would adopt/have kids for that reason alone? (Of course, it's foolish, as having kids is expensive, but regardless) Imagine how many cases of negligence there would be.

    Going away from the tax benefits, marriage is about the most romantic thing imaginable, for many. You are standing in front of your family, God (if you are religious), your spouse, and you are truly committing to them. You are getting married. You promise to take them in sickness and in health, etc.

    The tax benefits are of course just a bonus, but they are still significant enough to matter. And going by the logic that straight couples probably have children, shouldn't the requirement to receive tax benefits be the same for straight couples?

    I never understood how it's possible to get an F... I thought I was failing one of my classes, and it turned out to be a B.

    Also, just to be even more of a ******, Spring semester 2011, I was on the Deans list due to straight A's and thus got invited to an honors society last semester to a honors society, and due to having good grades last semester, I once again got invited to another honors society.

    Good grades, fk yeah. [And it's standard US Uni. Grading system]

    Take a look at this image, and tell me again that it's a "sacred institution." I posted it earlier. Denying homosexuals because of the so-called sanctity of marriage is bull. Look at this image, then continue reading after it.

    [​IMG]

    Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries - 72 days
    Kid Rock and Pam Anderson: 4 months
    Britney Spears and Jason Alexander: 2 days
    Sophia Bush and Chad Michael Murray: 5 months
    Carmen Electra and Dennis Rodman: 6 Days
    Mario Lopez and Ali Landry: 2 weeks
    Charlie Sheen and Donna Peele: 5 months
    Chris Kattan and Sunshine Tutt: 8 weeks
    Colin Farrell and Amelia Warner: 4 months
    Jennifer Lopez and Cris Judd: 4 months
    Drew Barrymore and Tom Green: 5 months
    Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds: 2 weeks
    Helen Hunt and Hank Azaria: 11 Months
    Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Esposito: 4 months
    Lisa Marie Presley and Nicolas Cage: 3 months
    Renée Zellweger and Kenny Chesney: 4 months
    Ethel Merman and Ernest Borgnine: 4 weeks
    Shannen Doherty and Ashley Hamilton: 5 months

    If you can look at these, and say just because these people are straight, they are upholding the "sanctity," of marriage, go away.

    It doesn't matter what religion you have, if you can see this and still consider homosexual marriage to make this "religious" tradition sacred, then you are, to put it bluntly, stupid.

    The main issue I have about discriminating like this (because that's what it is, discrimination), is that being married has so many benefits.

    There is no other reason than religion not to accept gay marriage. And the so called "sanctity of marriage" is bullshit
