Re: Reminder Of My Thread Topic. .
Buz, you start off by saying:
My OP and Message 5 pertain to the present rapidity of a variety of distructive disasters which is a phenomenon that has never been observed in US history.
The phrase to focus on there is "a phenomenon that has never been observed in US history".
You then go on to say:
This thread does not pertain to disasters which have been observed over the decades and centuries past.
But you have just said that your OP and Message 5 have, in part, to do with "a phenomenon that has never been observed in US history".
It can hardly be called off topic for members to ask you to examine that US history in some detail.

Re: 'Re: Benefits and Visiting Rights]
Buzsaw, you seem to be saying that straight couples who are not married have the same rights as gay couples who are not married.
They do share a whole bunch of rights, that's true (subject to some exceptions), but there is one huge great right that unmarried straight couples have, which unmarried gay couples don't have - the right to get married, and to acquire that great long list of benefits which frako listed for you.
That's the point Buz - you can't even say that unmarried straight couples and gay couples have equal rights - they don't.
