3 commentsFFS, there were paragraphs in the above. But I guess this is one of those sites where the webmaster wants people to read the articles, not the comments. I wouldn't try and trudge through the above wall of text. That's okay, it was a well thought-out comment...even without paragraphs

'"It's all pretty good evidence," Viken said. "You can't really fake a page off of Facebook. The judges don't really have any problems letting it in."' This just shows how clueless people, especially lawyers and judges, are when it comes to technology. Faking a Facebook page is trivial, just save a FB page, edit it, reopen in a browser, and print it out. If your browser prints a URL, either turn that off, or serve the HTML page to yourself from a web server on localhost, and put an entry in your hosts file to make www.facebook.com resolve to 127.0.0.1. Bonus points if you fake a web page from a site hosted in a country that will not follow the court's orders. There would be no way then to actually check if the site ever hosted the content that has been faked. The correct thing to do about this situation is to recognise marriage for the waste of everyone's time that it is. There are no real reasons to get married: There is no god, so you're not declaring anything in front of some invisible space wizard. Why would 2 people want their relationship to be sanctioned by the government? They are just a bunch of bureaucrats, looking to tell people how to live. By engaging the state, you are playing a game that is rigged against you. Your genitals work (and can still make children) whether there is a ring on your finger or not. Most marriages end up in divorce, but all (apart from gold-diggers) go into marriage thinking it will last forever. Most people are wrong, you probably are too. Why marry, when it just massively complicates a very likely break up? Marriages are massively expensive. For what most people spend on a marriage, they could buy themselves a good chunk of a house. Marriage just in debts people through an expensive ceremony and party, and as debt is slavery, it is simply best avoided.
