Grumpy Old Men

[Avicenna]

I've got a good one: laws regarding marriage and divorce in the US. In marriage these days, a man essentially becomes a slave to his wife because she holds tremendous power over him. If he does something she doesn't like, she can divorce him. By doing this, she gets control of the kids, the house, half of the accessories, and half of the man's paycheck. He loses his kids, his house, and half of his earnings and is then forced to pay support for his ex-wife and the children for the rest of his life. This would be the same thing as a previous employer paying his fired employee his wage the rest of his life. Absolute BS, I tell you. There isn't a chance in hell I'm getting married (no offense to those that are).

Lucky I don't live in the US.



EDIT: in view of the recent Hunk Thread for sexual equality, I petition for a Grumpy old Women thread to be created in the Tavern.
