I remembered an issue in the nationstates.

So... there's something I need to know before I create the poll, so that we're all on the same page...
"Online marriage" : is it just the ceremony we're talking about, the wedding - and then the newlyweds actually do go and love one another and share bodily fluids happily ever after till death do them part...
...or is it another of those brave new world things people believe they can get the same result and satisfaction from online as they do off because there's no real difference between the real McCoy and the surrogate anymore?

The idea came from Nationstates, people meet and fall in love with people virtually, and when they are in love, they want to get married virtually. For some, the internet is their only social life.

That was the reason I made the suggestion.

Thank you very much!

It's a great idea for a poll, dahling. Consider it done ! 😉

Some athletes from Glad have defected to Blackacre after being denied the chance to compete in international sporting events.

I voted Yes because a I'm not sure option wasn't made avaivable, not because I believe it is feasible. But there's all kinds of people in the world, all kinds of needs, therefore who am I to tell what might just work out for them or not ?

Technology shapes society and cultures and everything that comes with it...there were times when people thought automobiles would never replace horses and look how wrong they were, looking back the past 120 years or so...

I voted Yes mainly for live and let live's sake. People want - or need - to get married and stay married, all done online ? Sure, go ahead.

Of course there would be a lot to ponder on and what is accepted in one place may not be in another. Liberties aren't always a two-way road.

Anyway, No might be a little too determinative and final in times as liberal as these. It's l'esprit du temps, there's little people can do to stop the steamrolling effect of progress. Man is but a sorcerer's apprentice, too narcisistically in love with his genius for his own good.

Everything is fine! 😉

I agree with you. I voted yes, but I have observations. Virtual dating is just an illusion, but I think everyone has their freedom to do what they want.

I think of two people in different countries, unable to be together because they have no money, nor the right passports, but they are the salvation of each other. How they would be married, who knows, maybe a certificate that has no validity in their countries but the piece of paper means everything to them. It is a symbol.

If they are two people living in the same city, you would want them to talk together face-to-face, to touch. But people have phobias, different ways. If they want to marry on-line, who are they hurting?

Also surprised to see myself as #1 for Most Eco-Friendly Governments in the World (I think this is a glitch).

Greece legalises same-sex marriage in landmark reform

Lawmakers in the 300-seat parliament voted for the bill drafted by centre-right government despite church officials’ objections

Helena Smith in Athens, The Guardian 16 February 2024

Greece has become the world’s first Christian Orthodox nation to legalise same-sex marriage after the Athens parliament passed the landmark reform amid scenes of both jubilation and fury in the country.

In a rare display of parliamentary consensus, 176 MPs from across the political spectrum voted in favour of the bill on Thursday. Another 76 rejected the reform while two abstained from the vote and 46 were not present.

Members of the LGBTQ+ community, many unable to contain their emotion, watched from the galleries above.
