I've also read that those quickie marriages, including Las Vegas and Reno actually have a higher success rate than traditional marriages. Probably because it is more about the marriage vs. the whole shebang. Those shows like Say Yes To The Dress are insane.
Plus, maybe it'd cut down on the Rolexes and Lamborghinis owned by divorce attorneys.
Whoa there, Sonny. Hope you're joking or else referring to the SOME of the European GOVERNMENTS, not the individual citizens, for instance the French Resistance, the Polish Resistance (in WW2 anyway; I confess my knowledge of WW2 is a little better than that of WW1). Good grief, there was a Polish Airforce operation called Operation Anthropoid, a WWII mission to assassinate SS General Reinhard Heydrich, the main architect behind the Final Solution and the Reich's third in command after Hitler and Himmler. Even a great movie based on the subject:
Hopefully most parents don't "let" their children jump into sexual relationships but try to sway them from it. Though I did see an episode of Oprah on which it was revealed mothers of young teens were advising their daughters to give oral sex rather than have intercourse so they would avoid pregnancy. I was flabbergasted. BTW these girls looked like the classic all American (Caucasian) girls. I couldn't have even broached such a subject with my parents!
Many individual European citizens were collaborators and Nazi's.
Well, now I wasn't even thinking about Calif. or Appalachia either one, just the European "cowards" you referred to in your comment. And I didn't mean anything insulting by "Sonny", it just kinda refers to someone younger than I. But I can see you're sensitive about it; so I'll try to remember not to use it with you and you have a nice rest of the weekend now.
Yes. I was the one who raised this red herring. The Pharaohs married close family relatives to protect the "pure" bloodline. The Jewish scriptures are very specific about who can and cannot marry and I wonder whether this was a reaction against the customs of other cultures of the times.
LOL, if all of us "lived the dream" many would likely be in trouble now.
I couldn't disagree more, but there we go, (a man with the extraordinary name of Eustace Chesser agreed with you however, writing a book on practises regarding marriage or couples around the world forty or more years ago).
You're not trying to wind anyone up here by any chance are you, (what would Churchill have had to say to you, who lauded America for coming to the aid of the "old world", i.e. "there before you were even thought of"!
).
Apology accepted.
People who live in Appalachia are Scots-Irish -- Protestants from what is now Northern Ireland (plus some straight from Scotland). Irish Catholics didn't go to Appalachia, settling in the big cities instead.
You again!, (
