Look newbie, who hasn't even been a member here for two weeks yet, a reply is to whomever it is addressed to in the header. Was YOUR nick in the header of MY reply ? No, it was NOT ! But, that's okay, you can always butt in, if you imagine that I have trodden upon your oh so sore widdle toes.

Look at all of the male whinging / female bashing / the rich are evil posts to this thread. Historically speaking, MEN got the huse, property AND children, when there was a divorce, until quite recently. If girls and boys didn't shack up / have one night stands rior to marriage, and the culture didn't accept easy divorce, there would be less of it. If people didn't voew " relationships " of every kind, as " disposable ", today, and actually WORKED at them, there would be fewer divorces. If people didn't engage in extended adolescence, sometimes into their 50's, today, there would be fewere divorces. THIS IS NOT A SIMPLE TOPIC, NOR ONE WORTHY OF GLIB, JUVENILE REMARKS !

Reread this entire thread. Then reply to me. Oh, and IF you don't like my style ... T-O-U-G-H !

And Halloween 1998 is indicative of what?

Does that make you a fellow Mensa member?

It's hard to plow through the vitriol, capital letters, and wild generalizations long enough to get to the points.

Historically speaking...anti-father liberalized divorce has been instituted for 30+ years. Look at what has happened to society in the exact same time pereiod: crime, teen pregnancy, drugs...

The time periods don't coincide coincidentally.

It's cause and effect.
