lalasierra: Who will model loving, committed relationships in a world of single adults?
WTF has marriage got to do with adults being in loving and committed relationships?
FFS, get with the relevant age, religious and governmental control are outmoded, and people have clued in to the reality of it all. The only people getting married are those that feel the need for it from external pressure, like religious fanatics, or to fit in with their ancestors, other religious fanatics.

That's a cop out, please try again.
If you're too spineless to actually tackle a subject, don't bother posting it, as a poll, or otherwise.
I've noticed that you tend to shy away from other polls you've put up, or just ignore them. Either way, if you can't tend to them, refrain from doing them in the first place.

Right. It's a question, not a statement.
Just for the record, just because I post a topic it doesn't mean that I'm for or against it. It's simply a question.

Your questions aren't simply questions, as they're not neutral in the way you present them.
"Is marriage at risk?" coupled with "Who will model loving, committed relationships in a world of single adults?" implies there are only two states - a relationship within marriage and no relationship (being single).
This would imply you don't believe a committed relationship outside of marriage could be a healthy role model (or that they don't exist) and so your questions appear to be loaded from a particular perspective.
As its you who asks the loaded questions, or makes the loaded statements, the reader will assume that perspective is yours, unless you're playing devil's advocate.
If you're simply playing devil's advocate, but then sitting back and watching the turmoil you've created, then it will be assumed you're trolling.
Personally, I don't think you are a troll. I think you have prejudiced viewpoints which you can't back up with reasoned debate.
And yes, you do provide entertainment with your threads, but that doesn't mean you can't improve so you don't create volatile situations.

Let me re-word this for you.
Do you think marriage is at risk with a world full of single adults?
Simple question, should be a simple answer.
Yes or no.

Patronising people who are asking reasonable questions doesn't help your case.

Okay, I did understand that part ,what was confusing me was the term "Marriage" as in the religious doctrines or Marriage as a legal contract

Okay, so my threads are not perfect. I am not perfect, but I will not take responsibility for creating volatile situations. Thats absurd. Everyone is responsible for their own comments and again, if someone doesn't like the topic, or myself, HOW HARD IS IT TO SKIP TO THE NEXT MORE INVITING THREAD AND LEAVE MINE ALONE?
