Learned a new one today - "mouth noises." Gold, Jerry, gold!

Let's try it out. Her, "Why don't you . . " Me, "That's the way it is, and no amount of mouth noises on your part will change it. In fact, can the mouth noises." This is a little bit kinder than "STFU bitch."

End lifetime alimony. If unemployment insurance is only good for like maybe 6 months max, so should alimony.

The Quakers were considered enemies of Crown in England because they refused, as a general principle, to swear any oath of allegiance to anything other than their God. For this, all Quakers were branded as traitors and jailed, because they would not swear allegiance to the King. There were so many Quakers that the jails filled up, and so to make more room, all the real criminals were let loose to rob and pillage (this is the origin of the highwaymen stories). After many years of the King's courtiers being robbed and assaulted, the King offered William Penn, the leader of the Quakers, his own colony in America, if he would only take the rest of the Quakers with him. Once the Quakers were gone, they English could go back to filling their prisons with the traditional criminals as opposed to housing "Traitors to the English Crown."

At least up until a several years ago, a person could not be convicted of treason for an act that he did NOT do (i.e., fail to swear an oath), but only for acts that he actively committed to betray his nation. This is the legacy of Willam Penn and the suffering of the Quakers.

During the Civil Rights Protests, there was the Children's Crusade in Birmingham Alabama:

The segregationists locked up hundreds of young adults until the jails were full, then kept the overflow in cattle pens for days in the pouring rain and mud, but they kept having to jail more and more of them.

Now that men are being put in prison to somehow convince them to pay child support for children that are not theirs, how many men will it take, unjustly jailed, until justice is again dragged kicking and screaming to the tune of the millions who suffer to prevail upon the great evil that befalls men?

Truer words as the above have never been spoken ;)

Booger says

She will still get alimony though. The judge will likely base the alimony on what he was making before he quit his job.

To be paid with what income though?

The judge will assume that the man is capable of getting an equivalent paying job. If the judge determines that the man quit the job as a strategy to lower alimony, the judge will base alimony on "imputed" income. Same applies if the woman quit her job as a strategy to get more alimony.

Another factoid is divorced guys tend to remarry quickly.

I've seen this myself, and the second wife is usually 10 to 20 years younger than the first.

Why in the hell would you remarry? Male or female. If it didn't work the first time what makes you think it will work the 2nd time or 3rd time? You're picking bad women or it's you. At some point stop shooting yourself in the foot.
