Third, you know NOTHING about me...and I only get full of sour grapes when I listen to the chauvinist piggery that occassionally infects Free Republic.

Your use of the words "chauvinist piggery" reveals quite a bit about you.

(I've left a set of new cliches in your stocking.)

Cheers!

...oh, and Merry Christmas.

Revolting, you don't have much of a sense of humor. Eh...the heck with it, you're not smart enough to bother...

Stop being rude.

MEEEOOOOWWWWWW!

[grey_whiskers]

I'm not laughing. Sometimes the best thing one can do is serve as a bad example.

"Mistakes: It could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others."

Cheers!

...oh, and Merry Christmas!

I saw my Grandmother do it. Really, if you ever find a woman who is able and willing to darn your sock, keep her; she is a rare gem and worth a dozen female attorneys, writers, stockbrokers or professors!

You ought to read Dorothy Sayers's essay Are Women Human? which points out that women aren't kept in the home as pointless drudgery, but that the rise of industrialization has taken most of the intellectually compelling (and "craftsmanship" requiring) type of skills out of the home.

Tailoring, coloring of clothes; brewing; animal husbandry, etc.

Cheers!

You know what I'd like to do with my "female attorney" money? Buy you some damn therapy so you could get to the root of your problems.

Attorney, heal thyself.

Cheers!

...oh, and Merry Christmas, you easily-baited poster, you :-)

More than most people realize.

When you read this, I suggest you think of Israel as the nations of Great Britain and the United States, and think of Judah as the nation of Israel. I know this can be confusing, but try.

Hosea 5:1-15

1 Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for judgment is toward you, because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor. 2 And the revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all. 3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled. 4 They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God: for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have not known the LORD. 5 And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them. 6 They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them. 7 They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.

8 Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Bethaven, after thee, O Benjamin. 9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be. 10 The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water. 11 Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment. 12 Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness. ^F21 13 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: ^F22 yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound. 14 For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him. 15 I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.

The King James Version (Authorized)

My point is that going after strange women was foretold and having strange children was foretold. He's just doing what was foretold. Read on ... for the reasons why.

This is an end time book, the book of "Hosea" and more can be learned through the Matthew Henry Complete Commentary on the Whole Bible. This need to be read at the link because there is more at verses 1 thru 6 that I didn't include. But here is some of it starting at verse 7.

They departed from God to idols, and bred up their children in idolatry (v. 7): They have dealt treacherously against the Lord, as a wife, who, in contempt of the marriage covenant, forsakes her husband, and lives in adultery with another. Thus those who are guilty of spiritual idolatry, whose god is their money, whose god is their belly, deal treacherously against the Lord; they violate their engagements to him and frustrate his expectations from them.
Note, Wilful sinners are treacherous dealers.
They have begotten strange children, that is, their children which they have begotten are estranged from God, and trained up in a false way of worship; they are a spurious brood, as children of fornication (Jn. 8:41), whom God will disown.
Note, Those deal treacherously with God indeed who not only turn from following him themselves but train up their children in wicked ways.

IV. Very sad things are made to be their doom. In general (v. 1), "Judgment is towards you. God is coming forth to contend with you, and to testify his displeasure against you for your sins.’’ It is time to hearken when judgment is towards us. In particular, 1. They shall fall in their iniquity. This follows upon their pride testifying to their face (v. 5) Therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity.

Note, Pride will have a fall; it is the certain presage and forerunner of it.
Those that exalt themselves shall be abased. The face in which pride testifies shall be filled with confusion. They shall not only fall, but fall in their iniquity, the saddest fall of any. Their pride kept them from repenting of their iniquity, and therefore they shall fall in it.
Note, Those that are not humbled for their sins are likely to perish for ever in their sins.
It is added, Judah also shall fall with them in her iniquity. As the ten tribes were carried captive into Assyria, for their idolatry, so the two tribes, in process of time, were carried into Babylon for following their bad example; but the former fell and were utterly cast down, the latter fell and were raised up again. Judah had the temple and priesthood, and yet these shall not secure them, but, if they sin with Israel and Ephraim, with them they shall fall. 2. They shall fall short of God’s favour when they profess to seek it (v. 6): They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the Lord, but in vain; they shall not find him. This seems to be spoken principally of Judah, when they fell into their iniquity, and when they fell in their iniquity. (1.) When they fell into their iniquity they sought the Lord; but they did not seek him only, and therefore he was not found of them. When they worshipped strange gods, yet they kept up the show and shadow of the worship of the true God; they went as usual, at the solemn feasts, with their flocks and herds to seek the Lord; but their hearts were not upright with him, because they were not entire for him, and therefore he would not accept them; for then only shall we find him when we seek him with our whole heart, not divided between God and Baal, Eze. 14:3. (2.) When they fell in their iniquity, or found themselves falling by it, they sought the Lord; but they did not seek him early, and therefore he will not be found of them. They shall see ruin coming upon them, and shall then, in their distress, flee to God, and think to make him their friend with burnt-offerings and sacrifices; but it will be too late then to turn away his wrath when the decree has gone forth. Even Josiah’s reformation did not prevail to turn away the wrath of God, 2 Ki. 23:25, 26. Those that go with their flocks and their herds only to seek the Lord, and not with their hearts and souls, cannot expect to find him, for his favour is not to be purchased with thousands of rams. Nor shall those speed who do not seek the Lord while he may be found, for there is a time when he will not be found. They shall not find him, for he has withdrawn himself; he will not be enquired of by them, but will turn a deaf ear to their sacrifices. See how much it is our concern to seek God early, now while the accepted time is, and the day of salvation. 3. They and their portions shall all be swallowed up. They have dealt treacherously against the Lord, and have thought to strengthen themselves in it by their alliances with strange children; but now shall a month devour them with their portions, that is, their estates and inheritances, all those things which they have taken, and taken up with, as their portion; or by their portions is meant their idols, whom they chose for their portion instead of God. Note, Those that make an idol of the world, by taking it for their portion, will themselves perish with it. A month shall devour them, or eat them up—a certain time prefixed, and a short time. When God’s judgments begin with them they shall soon make an end; one month will do their business. How much may a body be weakened by one month’s sickness, or a kingdom wasted by one month’s war! Three shepherds (says God) I cut off in one month, Zec. 11:8. Note, The judgments of God sometimes make quick work with a sinful people. A month devours more, and more portions, than many years can repair.

I hope this answers your question.

"American men as walking passports and dollar signs."

My wife from Taiwan became a citizen before I married her. I had nothing to do with it.

My Thai wife has absolutely no desire to go to the US except to meet my family, friends, and see where I grew up. Well, after seeing pictures of the Grand Canyon, she now wants to go visit there also. :)

[killjoy]

Poetic justice would be for our pink-shirted nurse friend to watch in horror as his new foreign wife clears out his assets with the help of a sympathetic judge and a even more sympathetic lawyer.

Yea, since an American-born woman would never think of clearing 'out his assets with the help of a sympathetic judge and a even more sympathetic lawyer.' What type of fantasy are you living in?

[Gaffer]

You're right about most of your points. However, he might be looking for someone younger because maybe he's afraid most of the women in his age bracket are approaching menopause which can be a real personality-changer. Regardless, he should be looking for someone nearer to his own age, and possibly closer to his sexual persuasion...Pink shirt, white pants and earring...sheesh...

Plenty of foreign men use American women as their ticket to America...

Really? I thought they were seeking us out for our lovely personalities.

"I agree on a point there! Real men don't wear earrings." That's my feeling also. I'm not even crazy about it on this guy.
