Nope, they are not allowed to marry the willing adult of their

Evidently, you haven't noticed that the POLICE and the (all volounteer) ARMY
and MARINES are all, according to the anti-gun people, "right wing gun nuts"
Who the fuck is going to enforce this gun ban, other than the POLICE,
the ARMY and the MARINES?

You mean you lose your internet connection whenever you log out? It's
the way you have KDE set up that is at fault, because kppp is exiting
when you logout. But you should be able to login to your provider with
a command-line equivalent of ppp, so that your internet connection will
stay up once you start it, no matter who logs in or out.
