This is a very complex question, which really comes down to a persons priorities. For example if a Christian and a Jew want to get married several questions arise. Will the ceremony be performed by a priest or a rabbi? Will dietary laws be obeyed by (...) (23 years ago, 2-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) No easy answer, I'm afraid. Any relationship is a complex beast, from a potential lifemate right down to the stranger you get along with at a party. The strongest influence on a relationship is going to be the people involved, but right up (...) (23 years ago, 2-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Friends? Family? etc. Who in your opinion should be (...) (23 years ago, 1-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) As another disinterested third party I would have to concur with Larry. I'd probably join the show at your church, (even though I'm not Catholic) but I'd be doing so as an individual.

I don't agree that the US is a melting pot. A melting pot suggests no divisions and we know that is not the case. The US is more like a salad. You can still pick out the individual pieces in the bowl. The next step would be a Lego set in that all (...) (23 years ago, 1-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
