BIG QUESTION: Would you support polygamy as a hedge against rising divorce rates?
Is it fair to say that divorce rates are lower in polygamous societies? Might it make sense now that we are re-doing our definition of marriage to legalize not only gay marriage but also polygamous marriages? Arguably, by doing so, the divorce rates will cut in half in this country, adultery will be significantly reduced and people will be happier [...]
Old marriage vs new marriage…old divorce vs new divorce…what are the differences?
You've heard the expression "old money" or "old media." Now I've coined the phrases "old marriage" and "old divorce." I suspect that one or both of these terms will become common place in a few years as soon as the Supreme Court of the United States rules that it is unconstitutional to prevent same-sex couples from getting a civil marriage. As [...]
Does Jetblue employee Steven Slater’s behavior say something about how he’d handle marriage? Is he a divorce risk?
STEVEN SLATER RELEASED FROM JAIL! Hey, don't know if Steven Slater, the Jetblue flight attendent/folk hero is married or not. I do know that what he did cracked me up into a million pieces. I laughed till I cried when I saw this young man deploy from the aircraft from the emergency slide of the plane after it had landed at Kennedy Airport. I [...]
“Afterwebrokeup” is a trending topic on Twitter today…what about afterwedivorced?
There was an article on Slate yesterday about how Blacks use Twitter in a different way from other races. Something about "hashtags" and "retweeting" and "followers vs. following" numbers. "Well," I thought, "whatever. Another racecentric generalization that makes no sense." So this morning I noticed that there's a hashtag on Twitter called [...]
The Divorce Diet: Should you get on it?
I was reading an article online about the DIVORCE DIET but I lost the page and cannot find it. Still, the gist of it was that when women go through divorce, they tend to lose a lot of weight for some reason. It could be because they stop eating, or eat significantly less than customary. And of course, it's the stress of going through a break up, [...]
Is Tiger Woods’ post-divorce golf game “gone?”
Poor, poor Tiger. I was reading a really pitying article about Tiger Woods today from the Associated Press and I felt really sad for him. This is how the author ended the article: He's got no chance to win, no chance to even compete. The forced smile on his face makes it look as if the fiercest competitor ever seen on the links has now basically [...]

Mr. Bren has lodged a criminal complaint against this alleged refund thief. It's [...]
Tony Heyward’s uncontested divorce from BP is a labor of “love”
Tony Hayward's decision to step down as the public "face" of BP is a testament to how much he "loves" the company. He will be succeeded by American CEO Bob Dudley, the first American to head the British oil heavy weight. Tony has felt unfairly vilified and maligned by the American press, in spite of his "gaffe-filled" handling of the oil spill [...]
Divorced dad and 7 time Tour de France champ Lance Armstrong under federal probe for doping
Super biker Lance Armstrong, a divorced father of 3.5, is under investigation for doping. This is a scary investigation, because, if, like Marion Jones, he's found guilty he could go to prison for perjury among other things. The Tour de France heavy hitter has dated a lot of Hollywood hotties including Sheryl Crowe and Kate Hudson. He even had a [...]

RENO: Ever heard of the “divorce ranch”?
Apparently, back in the 1930's or so, Nevada was the only state that allowed divorce. In Reno, Nevada, there used to be something called a "divorce ranch," a private home, where women from other states could live while they waited to get a divorce in Nevada. At that time in order to get a divorce in Nevada, one had to establish residency which [...]

MASSACHUSETTS: Adam B. Wheeler, the scammer who forged his way into Harvard cannot blame his parents’ divorce for his lies
Have you ever noticed how people like to blame their parents for everything? As soon as I heard about Adam B. Wheeler who was arrested yesterday for scamming his way into Harvard, forging his professor's signature, plagiarizing a professor, trying to scam his way into Yale, and attempting to obtain Rhodes and Fulbright scholarships with [...]
Divorce, kids, and equitable distribution: What do you think about this?
I found this website and I uploaded two of the points from an article post: You are not a Princess - 25 points for women and men to consider. What do you think about what the author had to say in this post? Read below. I am curious and troubled by a lot of the implicit message of this post. But maybe it's me. What do you [...]
