- yikiad, on 12/13/2007, -1/+30here's a another grim statistic. 100 percent of all heroin addicts start out on milk.
- uptown, on 12/13/2007, -0/+20The rules are slightly different if your last name is Peterson.
- Truzseeker, on 12/13/2007, -1/+21I'll give you one rule that sums it up....men have no legal rights in marriage...got it ???
- RuffRidr, on 12/13/2007, -1/+21Here's a grim statistic: 50% of all marriages end in divorce. The rest end in death!
- cawpin, on 12/13/2007, -1/+20The probability of any marriage ending is 55%. People have lost sight of what marriage means. You know that whole "till death do you part" phrase isn't vague or unclear. People just don't think BEFORE making the commitment and they are don't fight for it when times get tough. It's the same general societal trend of the entire U.S. It's always somebody else's fault and people take the easy way out.
- FireAtWill, on 12/13/2007, -5/+24Don't get married. End of story.
- reparsed, on 12/13/2007, -1/+17Here's a shortcut:
1) Find a woman you can't stand.
2) Buy her a house and a car. - blynder, on 12/13/2007, -7/+21Funny how America feels that gay marriage would be a corruption of morals. Seems to me it's already corrupted, maybe allowing people to marry who truly love each other would lower the probability of divorce, but who am I? Just a Digg user I guess.
- capiCrimm, on 12/13/2007, -0/+13The upside is your chances of having sex with a milf increase dramatically.
- EntropyFan, on 12/13/2007, -0/+13#5 Learn State Laws!
The differences in state laws make a huge difference, and not only from a money standpoint, but the rights you have as a parent.
here in New England, New Hampshire seems to favor the woman to a fault. I have a friend whose ex wife kept the kids (on his time to have them) with no notice or reason, and when he asked a judge, the judge point blank said 'if it was you, I'd lock you up, but it is her, so go away' - tringtring, on 12/13/2007, -1/+12'After 10 years, the probability of a first marriage ending is 33 percent.'
A cruel prediction of life in the 21st century. - inactive, on 12/13/2007, -4/+15Um, marriage has nothing to do with love... It is a financial arrangement...
- slipkn0tz23, on 12/13/2007, -0/+10"Do you know why Divorces cost so much, Tommy?"
"No, Mr. Titus"
"Because they're worth it! - psychotron, on 12/13/2007, -0/+9Marriage is the #1 cause of divorce.
- blackmage439, on 12/13/2007, -0/+8Right. A correct alteration would be: "After 10 years, the probability of death is... oh screw it. You're *****."
- simpleid, on 12/13/2007, -0/+8If she loves you, she'll stay with you, if she doesn't she'll leave you. If she wants to marry you, she might love you, if she leaves you because you wouldn't marry her, she only wanted your money. if she doesn't leave you after she's convinced you won't marry her, it's probably a safe bet to marry her. ;-)
- leahcim, on 12/13/2007, -3/+115. Don't get married.
Sadly. - sindex, on 12/13/2007, -1/+9Trust me, you can love someone and live with them forever without ever getting the government involved. And if it ends, believe me, you're better off not being married at that point.
- inactive, on 12/13/2007, -4/+12is divorce law really an issue that is important to digg users?
- mt066, on 12/13/2007, -5/+12I predict this page will just devolve into a bunch of people complaining about US divorce laws. Because it's just....so hard for us middle-aged white males these days.
- newbis, on 12/13/2007, -1/+8Great. Just in time for the ***** holidays.
- inactive, on 12/13/2007, -0/+7Do not let the trouser snake rule the brain. Sex is not the relationship; sex is an expression of the relationship. Romance is for the movies; living life is a business treat it like a business. If you make a mistake in business you will go bankrupt. If you make a mistake in marriage you will go bankrupt. Therefore know your partner before you let the trouser snake rule your life. If a woman is not prepared to contribute equal financial share you are dating the wrong woman. Find yourself a slut, blow your rocks, that way your brain can function properly.
- drmangrum, on 12/13/2007, -0/+7Yes, but the root cause of 100% of divorces is marriage.
- g30ph, on 12/13/2007, -1/+8If I ever go insane and try to get married, I hope someone shoots me.
- 1jaxstate1, on 12/13/2007, -0/+7Well when you have people marrying too young or marrying for the wrong reasons, one should expect high a divorce rate. That said, I was about to spell divorce "divoice". hahahah.
- emalen, on 12/13/2007, -3/+9"Marie Claire Cooper is a Certified Management Accountant" . . . who clearly did not take any courses in grammar, spelling, or syntax. The financial info is very good, but I'm not a fan of laboring through an article because the person is either too dumb or too lazy to type 'your' instead of 'you.'
- freshyill, on 12/13/2007, -0/+6I dunno... I think if you can get through the first 10, you might just make it out alive.
- cybrguy, on 12/13/2007, -0/+6Thankfully thats not how statistics work. If it was, that would mean you could have a 133% chance after 40 years.
On the same note- divorce sucks especially when there are kids involved. - s0nicfreak, on 12/13/2007, -3/+91 Simple Financial Rule you SHOULD know before MARRIAGE:
PRE-NUP - coreman, on 12/13/2007, -0/+6cept you need to do it before you're $2500 (in the US) behind on child support payments, otherwise they freeze your passport, and at the border, if you're really behind to the point of having a warrant out, they'll arrest you.
- humperdeath, on 12/13/2007, -2/+7Lets see, 10 years is to 33% as x years is to 100%,
So that means after 30 years there is a 100% chance of seperation or divivoce! Yikes, thats terrible, but maybe I'll be dead, so maybe not so. . . Hey...Wait a minute. . . That IS Terrible! - cybrguy, on 12/13/2007, -0/+5Just as water is the #1 cause of sinking.
- Skooma714, on 12/13/2007, -0/+5Don't forget to adjust the figure if life insurance is involved.
- Jus2Gud, on 12/13/2007, -0/+5It'd probably be your wife
- klethron, on 12/13/2007, -1/+5Don't forget the Digg Users Institute of Pointless Fact's recent study on "Why people who get out of bed in the morning age over time".
- Skooma714, on 12/13/2007, -0/+4Love will tear us apart.
- cawpin, on 12/13/2007, -0/+4The problem.
- inactive, on 12/13/2007, -3/+7Well I'm not white and life has always been hard(er) for us minority males in this country. That being said, US divorce and child support laws are *****. Then again, this is why I married someone who isn't from this country and isn't so westernized yet that they think divorce is the answer to 99% of marrital issues.
- harrisbradley, on 12/13/2007, -0/+4If something is [NSFG], this should be posted in the title...
- inactive, on 12/13/2007, -2/+6Yeah, because we all know that having a gf/bf is a really stable relationship with all kinds of commitment, right? And we all know that nothing is worth committing to in the first place, right? And we all know that the government should play no role in assuring a stable society by rewarding marriage, right? Let's face it, folks -- 99% of the guys posting on this thread are single because they're not only unmarriable, but they're probably not datable either.
- simpleid, on 12/13/2007, -0/+4for a long time at least, wait until you're past 30 maybe? if you find a girl you want to marry before 30, make her wait to see if she'd last anyway. something along the lines of that is my plan.
- s0nicfreak, on 12/13/2007, -0/+4Or don't have kids.
- Skooma714, on 12/13/2007, -1/+5And she'd get away with it by claiming abuse
- cybrguy, on 12/13/2007, -0/+4Thats what it is to tax majors who never had a GF. I know, almost was one.
- lemur, on 12/13/2007, -0/+4Divorce rates do go down significantly when gay marriage is allowed. It's been done before and those were the discovered results.
- JJ2K1, on 12/13/2007, -3/+7I would sell everything I own, leave the country and start a new life some place else. No way in hell that I will be a slave to anyone for the rest of my life.
- cybrguy, on 12/13/2007, -1/+4love brings us together, selfishness breaks us apart, and divorce has selfishness written all over it.
- CCB0x45, on 12/13/2007, -0/+3I know this is a gay marriage thread, but keep it in your pants.
- cybrguy, on 12/13/2007, -2/+5errr... I wouldn't go as far as pulling that stunt.
- cybrguy, on 12/13/2007, -0/+3The root cause of all car accidents is oil. DANG YOU OPEC!
