The refusal to lay out a specific allegation of what exactly you are complaining about is the death nail in the coffin of your complaint.

To a lot of people, you sound like an over-generalizing bitter person. A lot of what you say is total hogwash.

To the extent you might have a legitimate complaint (that men tend to get the short end of the stick in the family law circles) it is disserviced by your refusal to get specific.

The refusal to lay out a specific allegation of what exactly you are complaining about is the death nail in the coffin of your complaint.

My refusal to play 'Delphi' with you, in which we make lists of individual divorces and examine them as "cases," is certainly the nail in the coffin of your ability to deal with it. I think we have already established that in the absence of actual, detailed, after-the-fact law cases, your neurons are pretty much useless.

The other thing that's useless is going back to re-visit a bunch of old divorces. We don't have time, and it doesn't matter. The problem is the divorces yet to happen, which are being encouraged by a system that provides female parents with advance knowledge that they cannot possibly lose a custody dispute unless they shoot up with heroin in front of the judge... and maybe not even then. Is there anyone who believes that had the Yates couple in Texas divorced, that the courts would have given sole custody of the now-dead children to Angela?

People respond to the signals around them. The signal that the family court system sends women is, "Come on down! You'll get the kids, the house, both cars, most of the assets, half of his retirement plan, and more than half of his income for the next twenty years." They even have George Zimmerman on there playing a lawyer who says, "I guarantee it."

What the Hell kind of thing is this to wave in front of people going through life's daily travails unless the purpose of it is to stimulate divorces, so that people like you can earn fees?

And for this, childrens' lives are turned upside-down, they lose their daddies, their daddies' lives are ruined, men as a class are treated like animals, and the society gets to pick up the tab for incarcerating all the "socialization failures" that female headed single-parent families are known to produce. But you defend doing this because this is how you make a buck.

I think you would be better off to justify your favorite policy on the grounds that it helps you to drive a nicer car. That at least leaves the bigotry you've been spouting in the closet... where frankly it belongs. Instead of saying things that make people think you're a bigot, you could just be someone who does evil things for money. We have a lot of those around; that's not even a big deal anymore.

Yeah, I know, you still want to talk about the law cases. That's how you get to look smart. No sale. Right now you look like a sexist bigot with a law degree who wrecks peoples' lives for money, and I'm staying right where I am. This is probably not how you intended it to turn out, but nobody but you wrote your notes.
