Comment on Machiavelli: On the Holocaust by Illuminati

Illuminati — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 02:37:52 +0000

Machiavelli wouldn’t have agreed with it at all. As you said, the Holocaust “paralyzed the relationship between the Jewish Religion and the rest of the world”. Machiavelli in his Discourses noted that he did not advocate violence or cruelty other than a swift, decisive means that would end sufferring. He noted that he considered cruelty in any form that would lastingly impact on a society “despicable.”

Fact unreasonable and unfair alimony is a form of indentured servitude.

Fact woman can file for divorce and enslave a man to a life of no hope and poverty

Fact courts could care less.

Opinion. I believe our government quietly maintains this process so that they don’t need to support the wife who files for divorce and has no desire to work.

Fact my alimony sentence of 5 years 6875mo makes me want to kill myself. I lost my home(s) my kids (45%), half of my retirement and I am trapped in a job I hate bit can’t leave bc I have to pay her $412k in 5 years.

Fact women like my ex are extortionists who are immoral corrupt and void of a soul.

Fact: I might not live out my alimony term bc I can’t handle the stress and despair.

Opinion. Any woman who justifies what my ex is doing to me is void of a soul or compassion.

Today women make up over 50% of the work force. We are not in the 20th century anymore. I myself as a women got divorced, and I did not ask my x husband to support me. I am an able bodied women and I can support myself. I agree alimony should be implemented when the wife and mother of children have no skills in which to use to make an income, but there should be limits on the length of time the alimony is awarded. Not doing so just encourages women to just stay home and sit on their ass and eat bonbons all day while x hubby supports them. I did not go to college, I had 3 children with my first husband. We divorced after 15 years of marriage. I got child support only. I went to work delivering pizza’s for domino’s to support myself. I find it degrading and I am ashamed sometimes to be part of the female gender because most women that seek alimony don’t need it. They lower themselves to seek alimony when they are perfectly capable of supporting them selves. I see that as not having any self respect , and I would think if some poor slob divorced me, I would say the hell with you, and move on with my life. Of course I am not a gold digger. I am now married to a man that I love dearly. He is sitting in jail because of his gold digging x wife. she has a great job, and her house is paid for, because she got the homestead in the divorce. She drives a new car, and life is just wonderful.
Their kids are grown, but I am sure this is having a tremendous effect on them. The courts make it difficult for couple to move on by keeping alimony alive for life. This is unfair to the man, who wants to move on and just live a normal life. X wives you need to get over it, and move on. Support your own ass, and get a life. Men should not have to be reminded every month of a relationship gone bad. It takes two people to make a marriage work, and sometimes two people just can’t be with each other. Divorce laws need to come into the 21st century, just like everything else has. No one should get a free ride, and women are getting alimony just because they can, not because they need it. Shame on them. Marriage is not slavery, but lifetime alimony is. And as long as the laws remain the same, this will never end for a lot of men. The horror stories I have read, are appalling.

The men are slaves “IN” the marriage because they have become aware of what happens in a divorce. The threat of lifetime alimony is the tool to enslave men. I agree that men should know the ramifications of marriage/divorce. As far as a prenuptal, it does no good to list alimony. It like child support, are rights and can not be signed away in a prenuptal agreement.

There are more women in college then men. More men have lost their jobs than have women in this economy. The palying field is level, alimony, like slavery and indentured servitude need to be outlawed.

I disagree. I see a lot, and I mean a lot of women in their mid-thirties going through a mid-life crissis. All of a sudden, their husband is a bum, they start going out and finding guys who prey on women in this state. They tell them what they want to hear and poof, they want a divorce. And thrrough no fault of their own, the man is on the hook financially to maintain his exwife while she goes out and parties. She has no ambition to get a job or finish a degre because……..she deserves to be maintained.

This more often than what you stated, is the reason most divorces are initated by women.
