mike777 Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Geez.....I see that Kid Rock and Pamela Anderson are getting a divorce after just 3.5 months. If these kids cannot make it how can any of us? Does no one want to stay married to this nice young Canadian lady? If Pamela cannot stay married how the heck can same sex partners make it?It seems the only ones for this are divorce lawyers and wedding planners...more business! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boris3161 Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 You offer this as a justification of the benefits of mixed sex marriage? Perhaps same sex marriages are the only ones likely to succeed. Mixed sex marriages hardly seem to offer a successful model these days.

helene_t Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Why did they split up? I know a lesbian woman who has been happily married to a gay man for thirty years. So that can't be the reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jikl Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 The worst thing about this is the reprehensible double standards applied by many governments around the world on this subject. In many countries, when it suits the government, for instance on tax purposes or unemployment benefits or something else, then they are recognised as a couple. However, if it comes to a "god-fearing" family taking the estate of a gay person from under the nose of the couple who might have been together for years, then the relationship is not recognised. Anything to keep the majority happy, rather than be at all proactive. Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we mess it up, too. But you can opt for "registered partnership" which is the same as marriage except that the divorce is cheaper. Very convenient.

Al_U_Card Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 The object of the exercise was to provide a stable and beneficial relationship for the children, issue of the relationship. Litigation and greed and general lack of caring have been the norm lately. Get real and try to make a life with someone. Protect children, if any, and otherwise act with wisdom and humanity. The rest is irrelevent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
