I am a male and the husband always gets the short end of the stick if they get divorced. I don't want to end up paying child support to someone I hate.

If this is how you feel, do not to marry or impregnate a woman - simple. However, believe it or not there are many who still believe in the sacrament of marriage and the family unity.

These folks don't go into either with a negative mentality. If that were the case, no one would pursue any life goals for fear of failing.

The world's population is up to about 7 billion and counting, with not enough resources to take care of many existing people. The human race is in no danger of dying out because of population decline.

Very smart. Marriage is indentured servitude for men. When you're single you have the power. When you get married (in the U.S.), they have all the power. Why give your power away..

Marriage rates are declining because women are pickier and there are fewer guys to marry up to. N ot because men are choosing not to get married.

People with that attitude (not that there is anything wrong with not getting married or having kids) usually dont bother getting married. Unfortunately, they often end up bringing kids into the world that they dont want to support. Do everyone a favor and get a vasectomy. Quick.

Marriage is no longer a sacrament. It's a contract between the man and woman and the government. Remove the government and a lot more people would consider it. Why would females need family unity in a socialist nation? They can get in, cash out and have uncle sam as a copayer, funding their independent womanhood.

I usually agree with you,. But there are more and more men who are saying no to marriage as it exists in western nations. I think females are running scared and are realizing that finding a good man to marry is less and less likely.

Oh this is just ridiculous now, and you are making me cranky.

This is about the same if a bunch of Gumps said they were sick of Sudoku puzzles, and weren't going to buy them anymore.

You sure waste a lot of time protesting leaving something, nobody is going to miss you at, Gagalone.

Well, stay away from women, and all your problems will be over. You can hoard your money, hang out together, not have children, and generally be the kind of person you want to be. You just need to quit gripping about the same thing on every single thread.

Bingo - this isn't how real men behave.
