[quote]people screw…sometimes outside and before wedlock……..sometimes for money.
the state and the ‘church’ (no matter which flavour) has no place in people’s bedrooms. (even if they are rented for a short time)

Absolutely right on the money.
I wonder how many actual crimes are being dealt with whilst ‘big brother’s’ heavy hand is worrying about who people sleep with.

Now there’s a real solid foundation to a life-long marriage. These two students would be about as prepared for a commitment like this as I would be to fly to the moon.
At least it’s not as bad as some of the more draconian states in the Middle East, where every single aspect of the people’s lives are monitored and controlled.
