Okay..... I am a big fan of the "Jay And Silent Bob" movies. For the uninitiated, these include: MallRats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Clerks, Clerks II, and Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back, and perhaps another one or two that don't come to mind at the moment.
My favorite of all of them is Clerks Part II, for a multitude of reasons. My favorite scene in the movie didn't start out that way. At first I thought it was pretty fucked up. But the more I learn, the more I live, the more I see it is true. The two relative roles in the movie are those of Dante' and Becky. Food for thought.... here's a link to the scene.

In case the link does not work... the lines that say it all:
Becky: I do think that marriage goes against our basic nature.
Dante: To be loved?
Becky: No..... to FUCK as much as possible, spread the seed around and keep the species going. Flowers, cards, candy, relationships, marriage, that's all stuff the corporations dreamed up to keep the economy going.
Dante: Are you saying you don't believe in love, Beckalah?
Becky: No. Like, I love my car. I love my parents, I love you. But "true love"? "There's only one person out there that's right for me?" Come ON. Do you know how many people there ARE out there? Chances are, there's someone out there that's a better match for you than the one you wind up with.
Dante: So you're saying that based on your theory, there's someone out there that's better for me than Emma?
Becky: Oh, no. I'm not touching THAT one.
And the more I live, the more I learn, the more truth I begin to see in this. Personally, I believe at this point that no matter the species, males and females are put on this earth for the following reasons:
1) To drive each other crazy.
2) To make whatever higher power or being there may or may not be laugh its ass off at us thinking that there is more to it than reason #1.
3) The parts fit together
4) Having a means of reproduction.
I'm not saying that no one will prove me wrong, but it hasn't happened in 12 years :P
