I can't be bothered arguing with you. I'm right and you're wrong in my opinion, you obviously hold the opposite view. Society will legalise gay marriage within five years and you can complain and intellectualise over 'liberties' (whatever the fuck you mean by that, your nomenclature is horribly...
We have a small number of well considered rights that are protected under international law. Stop just throwing shit around.

People elected to govern this country doing so on the basis of non-secular beliefs, and peoples personal beliefs being informed by religion aren't in any way analogous. The...
Yeah true, just meant outright first Mr. Silence :)
So wait, it's not the average of the people who are first's exam marks, but just the top two exam marks overall?
For some people, mark differentials don't matter. (If you're ranked first, you take the top examination mark no matter what). But for most people they do.
