And it's good to check if there are any hidden children or child support obligations as that can affect future family plans.

So let's generalize and damn the whole population for this? I try and most of the time succeede learning from my misstake. Should i have to suffer because the neighboor's wife might not learn as well?

It's silly and illogical to think everyone is alike. So don't judge us all because of one person.

This kind of stuff is part of the bigger reason relationships can be more of a fustration than a learning experience...people aren't always set in their ways and can evolve to do better then choices made in the past.. and to lump everyone into the same category does not bode well for starting off a relationship positively..plus, things like this forget that each of us is unique, and so are our situations...now or in the past...

Is your date a 'stud or dud?' Ask your phone - CNN.com
"With Stud or Dud? the user punches in as much information as they have on their subject. Results can range from past addresses, real estate ownership and business and professional licenses to bankruptcies, evictions, criminal records and what the company calls "possible relationships."
Are They Really Single? scans marriage and divorce records. "

Sounds like a much more useful tool in the capable hands of a young male computer geek. What would they call it them?

Perhaps "Which is a B|tch?"

Good grief! I'm almost curious to pay and find out what 5!!! possible relationships they found on me! And they pull my name with my ex ex, but not with my ex - guess because he hasn't been in this state that long! I think they mean "relations" and not "relationships" per se. Yes, they do - I confirmed this by checking other people. Still have no idea how they came up with 5...

This is all nonsensical the computer algorithms to come up with this stuff is still pretty far out there.

At least with any accuracy.
