why government is still involved in marriage.

because marriage is a contract, you can't have a contract without a government to enforce it.

Google needs to step back and re-learn some goddamned Assembler.

we should all throw out our systems with Intel core processors and go back to 8086 chips, after all they are totally capable of handling keyboard input, network connections and color displays, so really who needs any more than that?
