This is like having a bad day at the office and coming home to abuse your daughter.
Yes, the family court screwed you. Yes, your ex screwed you. Neither has anything to do with the USA as a country.
Yes, the family courts need reforming. Try doing something about it, you'll find many kindred spirits here.
Pull your flag back out.
I'm doing plenty about it, Jim. Have you visited nhfamilylawreform.org to see? How about you, are you doing anything to help fix this backward system on behalf of the country's children and disenfranchised parents?
Don't preach if you're not prepared to do what it takes to get into the pulpit. I'm busting my backside and have dedicated the last two months of my life, literally, financially, logistically, and emotionally trying to fix the problems. You, apparently, couldn't even educate yourself enough to REALIZE that much. Geez. And you want to call me out to 'do something about it'?
Part of what I'm doing is to let all of you true patriots out there that while you're busy worrying about extending American values all over the world, those values when it comes to families and justice (I can hardly think of two more important foundational societal components) are as bad or worse than the third world. Would you spread disease purposefully to a friend? Well, that's what you're advocating on a global scale. The cancer within is eating away at the heart of this country and you guys with 'European 9/11 syndrome' can't even smell it right in front of you. Worse yet, you deny it when you're told, and don't even bother to get educated before jumping up on your soapbox. If you've got sons or plan on having them why don't you do them a favor and listen to some of your own preaching so as to help prevent them from becoming statistics. If you don't try to help them by chiming in to fix this debacle then don't worry, I'll be working hard on their behalf. To the exclusion of every other national issue...
And you couldn't be more wrong about trying to disassociate what happened to me, and what happens to hundreds of thousands or even millions of others against their will when they're separated from their childen by the federal and state justice systems. Saying there is no relationship between the operation of the family courts' injustices and the USA as a country could not be more inaccurate. I wonder if you call a banana an apple and convince anyone...? Educate yourself about the problem or butt out. I'm sick and tired of ignorant (look up the word if you take it too offensively) people trying to tell how it *really* is after a half-minute of contemplation. You don't know the half of it, pal. And your country is going down the tubes right under your nose.
Kick your soapbox under the bed. It's of little use to you on this topic until you actually pay some attention...
Your first sentence analogy was piss-poor too, and makes zero sense. A reasonable example would have been getting beaten up by a cop and then calling the newspapers to disclose the beating for the rest of society to hear.
You clearly have no clue...
