Thoughts?!!!!?!?!?!!

(WOW!)

Did a search for "nomarriage" and got nothing...

The guy that put the website together must have dated my almost Ex.

...thank goodness the internet keeps wackos like that occupied and (hopefully) off the street and out of sight.

The guy is nuts but he has some points. There is no one on the planet I'd rather be with than my wife and if she broke me tommorrow I'd think it was a good 8 year run. But if I had married some of the girls I dated in my 20's I'd be divorced and bitter or in prison.

As for kids, I agree with the "why bother" crowd. The last 60 years or so have been the first time that people didn't rely on kids for cheap farm labor or to take over the family buisness and support the folks in their old age. It sounds cold but kids have a lousy ROI. A lot of people I know my age have kids about ready to leave the nest. They love them but can't wait for them to go.

Is there a site for disgruntled single individuals?

If marriage sucked as bad as made to believe here, families would have vanished generations ago...

As far as the website goes, I find it hard to believe that it was made by a man, let alone someone from America . Christ, every article is about how much better foreign women are. Perhaps just the propaganda of a desperate Brazilian housewife .

But as to "why bother" to have kids: If you don't, then what was your purpose in living?! You have no legacy that lives past you and you destroy any chance of being remembered the way a child could remember you. If your only purpose in life is to live and die, than why live? Isn't that a pretty bleak outlook? Do the good things that happen to you really outweigh the bad so much so that you are satisfied simply with existing?

And finally, but most importantly, if couples don't have kids then our population will decrease and we will be even easier pickings for China.

I dunno...

I kinda agree with some of the comments made on that site.

Like marrying foreign women, for example. I married a foreign woman (actually a dual citizen) and that's how I got my American citizenship (I'm Canadian).

It seems that foreign women know their place as females. (Flame suit on)
Before everyone gets all fired up with equality and such... I'd like for you to really appreciate the difference between the common man and woman, and realize that we are in fact very different. I'll be the first to say that my wife is intelectually more analytical and micro-manages things better. So I leave those things up to her. But when it comes to being the flagship of our family... I take the leadership position. Because I am the male. I am the conquestator.

Don't get me wrong, I treat her with as much, if not more, respect that she shows me. And I cook for her all the time. I always put her on a pedestal because that's where she deserves to be.

But she is a mother, something I can never be.
And she understands that I am the instigating decision-making male, and she will not challenge me on authority, she will however respectfully suggest things.

I'd like to make it clear that I've never hit my wife, never used any kind of force. She just has certain values instilled on her from her upbringing.

We are very happy toghether.

Another thing I agree with is "Only marry if you have kids"
This is true. And this was my thought before I got married.
This is one of the main reasons why I got married (apart from tax breaks)

But the truth is my wife makes me a stronger and happier person... and that's all I really want from life anyways.
