The thought is that too many guys who simply can't find a date might cause some of them to broaden their selection pool.

Kind of like situational homosexuality that can often be observed in prisons.

Yep. Turns out a lot of people are a lot more interested in non-specified "sex" than they are in "sex with most preferred gender" and certainly more than "avoiding sex with people of the non-preferred gender". While they'll sure take both if they can get them, if they can't, well... the first alone is better than nothing, after all. If you offer a starving man dinner, he'll probably be more than willing to eat foods he wouldn't consider in a time of plenty, and hey... he might find out he likes the taste after all...

It's certainly not surprising.

In the words of my brother, "Its all just a tube of muscle anyway!"

Getting back on topic, the UK's same-sex marriage bill has passed the House of Commons 400-175. Now it has to pass the House of Lords and.....the House of Commons again.....for some reason.

The Church of England is very, very angry about all of this.

It probably wont get through the Lords, be re-written, pass in the Commons, be knocked back by the Lords (who incidentally count a signifigant number of CofE bishops amongst thier number) and so on for a while yet. Cameron is alienating a large number of his party and traditional voter base with this without really attracting support away from more liberal parties. Whilst the end outcome is laudible, it stinks badly of a "please like me" popularity grab.

For some reason, when I read that I pictured the Archbishop of Canterbury responding in Marvin the Martian's voice.

Scotland passed same sex marriage a while ago. The English and Welsh should just belt up and embrace the future.

So there's recently been talk about the previously secret memo regarding drone killings of american citizens.
Here's the recently released memo itself: http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/i/msnbc/sections/news/020413_DOJ_White_Paper.pdf

I thought we'd already passed that. I can't find any decent news sources on it because it's all swamped with English stuff. I suppose we're on par with the southern folk in that case. At least we passed minimum alcohol pricing before they did.... they just copy us anyway.

Is it really likely to fail in the Lords?  The Conservatives will be trying to whip as many of theirs to vote in favour as possible, and the other two parties are both support the proposal (weirdly Labour still has more peers than the Conservatives do).  There are some bishops there but it shouldn't be enough to derail the legislation.

The church showing passion? Actual fervor? What a change! They'll lose the people pissed about women's bishops even faster!

If that's what the conservatives are trying, who in the hell knows what the liberal democrats will go for. On the other hand, Labor doesn't exactly win by default either.
