She paid 20 million dollars - must have been thrice-divorced or something if she had that much money she could throw away just like that :rolleyes:

Actually... saw an article on the new about her. She started a telecommunications business with her husband and later sold it for a few hundred million. So, successful business woman. Kudos!

Divorce and alimony practices are sexist! :-D

Damnit - I get 1d down while you get 5d, for pushing the same idea (humorously). :sigh:

If it makes you feel any better, my wife hates feminists for ruining the good thing women used to have going. Now they all have to work...and stuff.

Yeah, no more holding open doors, pushing chairs out, giving them the right of way etc. Just treat them like a guy.

Ha, what planet are you from? They want it all. Your paycheck and your respect. :) That should get me another 1. Although my first response to you didn't deserve it. :)

They do? Says who? Divorce attorneys maybe.

If [God] knows what we are going to do then we have no free will and are just characters in a play written by him. Without free will, morality for humans makes no sense. Without free will and morality, any sort of punishment or reward system loses any justification. Heaven and hell would be places where [God] could watch the souls he created, predestined just for eternal happiness or agony. - Mark Thomas

Yep, that was odd - your reply and my reply to your reply, both got 1d though they were opposite view points :-)

Bah. I open doors, push chairs out, give right of way etc. to my girlfriend all the time. It is the nice thing to do. The change though is that we now respect our women, think they are capable on their own and get soundly thrashed in many professional areas.

Yep, that's a definite. We do respect women now. Though I still don't like opening doors for them :-)

Opening doors for the fairer sex is a sign of respect.
