  1. Yeah, tell that to Madonna.  She'd have agreed.

  2. Hey, my first husband considered that.  Would have been a bad bad move.  At least he did get word to me years later when he'd heard a hit was out on me.  (A NYC employer.)  I said thanks via the messenger and confronted the employer with this, laughing.  I said, carefull, oh, and I think I'll sue you.  I did it twice.  Won.  My lawyer was disappeared.  I made them give me the cash in public when payment came due.  You really don't want to be involved in conspiracy to commit murder.  Not a good idea at all.  Even if nothing overtly bad bounces back on you, the quieter stuff can be pretty scary.  yo soy testigo

  4. Social Evolution All are breakable in Anglo-Saxon law.  I've worked in American family law.  Anything in an Anglo-Saxon legal system in such a poor language as English is not "solid."  In fact, the US Constitution has problems, not that it's been applied since 1933 when the UCC took over.  In the US, I do know, contracts are made to be broken.

  5. Social Evolution The Constitution has not really applied since 1933.  The UCC does.

  6. Shame on those parents.  My spouse told me after five years of marriage that he disliked his cousin because when he was a young teen and the cousin was over 21, the cousin abused him sexually, repeatedly.  My spouse's father actually SAW this happening once and turned on his heels, denied he'd ever seen it! When I discussed this with his parents, their only concern was that their only child might be gay.  This is called the Double Betrayal and he hated them since, me, he gave up his friends, he closed down, he is a robot now.  21 years into this marriage, this is a ghost man.

  7. Jacc Trippa Um, I am housebound with an inoperable hernia from the c-section.  And the child did not survive.  This was in wedlock.

  8. That's how it is in Greece.  If you don't have 800 euros and have a kid there, they will keep the kid or deny you access to the hospital.  Some people are registering the kids as their kids to get them covered, which is a legal nightmare as they don't have the correct name and family.  My kid died in the USA for lack of healthcare.  I expatriated.  People who go to the USA are stupid, I think.  It's a gulag.

  9. RenovatioJuris My spouse has worked for FedEx for over a decade, and his pal there is Greek and goes over there all the time for family.  So, my spouse hears stuff.  I lost a baby in the USA for not having the money for prenatal care, and I tried to give it up for adoption but because the courts had misplaced our papers the divorce was delayed, and the abusive spouse had a say in it, even though we'd been legally separated for years and it wasn't his child.  I don't provide links, sorry.  I'm not making this stuff up, however.

  10. RenovatioJuris Thank you for the response.  Maybe the guy is lying?? I did a clip recently on a French healthcare scam.  I do two channels and don't recall where I posted it, but it's very recent. This guy from the Ivory Coast, in his 50s, has AIDS and has been receiving care here for years and has a subsidized apartment and benefits.  Apparently, he set up a network and got hundreds of illegal immigrants in lying and saying they have AIDS, too!  And they don't!  This is going to amount to millions of euros in cost and it's been going on for years.  A doctor in Paris was involved, and others.  It's an example of someone ruining it for others who might have a claim to care here and is very sad. I got liver cancer in 2007 and was told I'm inoperable, but they sent me to a nice place to die.  I used the Kneipp Method to heal myself in 2008.  I have no problem with euthanasia being legally here (almost a decade now, most doctors don't even know about it but I have seen it done once in a public hospital and also had a business client whose mother was "put down" a few years ago from here, Laotian woman) and I don't think money should just be thrown at everyone.  I worked for decades in the legal profession in the USA and then here in France, and what the laws say is generally not reality.  I've met corrupt judges, lax clerks and crooked attorneys.  I think your viewpoint is a bit obtuse, but really, thanks again for the kind response.

  11. ***** That is one of the few Christian thoughts I actually agree with. Love is sinful.  It puts us in a selfish bubble with the love-object and we can have our morals fall away:  "I will KILL to defend my kids," et c.  Only love of the Divine, which is actually to love ourselves and the divinity in us, is non-sinful.  I realize this seems extreme, however.

  13. kay jay That could be, but I am disabled from prescription meds, so I am biased.  I had the hormone thing as a girl and now my liver is trashed.

  14. kay jay I was born with foetal alcohol syndrome and was androgynous, and my immune system was compromised at age five by a polio vaccine (and I got polio anyway) and then I got put on Cortisone for a decade, which totally scrambled me.  I was often mistaken for my brother and got his hand me down clothes and this went on until I was 19.  I was unable to have children.

  15. kay jay That could be.  I got extra estrogen for a few years on medical advice and it really messed me up, but really, that was 30 years ago.
    1
  16. kay jay That is for sure.  My parents felt they owned me and they made all these messed up decisions about my health, but really, they were inveterate potheads going back to the fifties, so there you go.

  17. I got very interesting in these screwheads while growing up in Ohio.  By the seventies, when I was a teen, I was able to observe Rex Humbard et al.  I'd sit fascinated by "Christian TV," such as it was, and had very close friends who had worked for these people and even been their neighbors.  One had parents who'd bought the pink Cadillac of Maude Aimée Humbard she'd gotten in the fifties, already, a hoarde of retirees were ripped off for a non-existent retirement community, an unfinished tower was mournful in the Rust Belt, and a scary looking son constantly got busted for having sex with underage females in the congregation on the stage in the arena.  A friend of a friend in high school had a juvie pal who found God and then fell asleep under Humbard's rising mechanical stage and got crushed to death.  The eulogie was ironic -- "At least he found God after causing so much human death and destruction!"  (He had been a mad bomber.)  I saw "The Starlight Trio" sing on TV on a religious show.  Three women with blank stares and their hands held constantly up, like puppets.  In tacky dresses, with what looked like wigs on.  They looked like bassett hounds.

  18. I don't think most men have seen such a thing.  If it exists, it seems to have been hidden from a lot of them.

  19. Erik Johannessen Yeah, I moved from the USA to Europe long ago and different cultures have different etiquette, for sure.  For me, a lot of it is basic hygiene and manners.  I live in a culture now where anyone who works is a "worker" and valid, there aren't, generally, professions which are seen as "better," and poverty is okay as long as an effort is made to improve and the poor are honest.  I got very tired of telling American male friends, good friends for years and years, what a handkerchief is (and I bought a lot of them for them), how to say "please" and "thank you," and how to go through some very superficial rituals (such as remembering an anniversary) at least shallowly so they could get it over with.  I'm glad I still have American male friends à la distance, and one I consider like a brother or better, but really, most of them, well, they can be okay as friends but no way would I want to be involved with them -- they are clueless!  I really feel for American males who get held to high standards by nasty females, I must say.  That really stinks!
    1
  20. Erik Johannessen Well, some people like someone who is "exotic," of a different culture, of a different age, et c.  I did know an American guy for years and he was openly nuts about me but very nice about it, quite proper.  He is not good looking but it didn't matter, as he was so smart and funny, a hard worker, he had good manners, et c.  He asked me to marry him.  I was delighted but had to tell him that I didn't love him and I didn't think I could, but I wished I could as he was fine!  This was done in private and I am glad I wasn't evasive or sneaky and that I was very, very sincere in my appreciation of his qualities.  It's not as though I never met a cool American man!  My Parisian spouse absolutely did not want a serious relationship with a French female his age.  He felt he had nothing in common with them, which was actually accurate on his part.  He wanted an older woman from another culture, someone who could speak French and who'd be willing to live here, but not one of his "peers."  I did warn him, "Be careful -- you're going to have an older wife!"  It depends on what we value and are looking for.  I've read that women will pick a mate who is GENETICALLY like her father yet who smells nothing like him!  Weird science, eh??

  21. Erik Johannessen Yes, I agree.  In most cultures, men have the upper hand.  I'm the "low maintenance type" female so it is hard for me to understand what some of my "sisters" are up to.  I don't feel that many women understand that males are generally really different from them!  I feel males are the weaker sex but they just need slightly different spaces, different handling.  It can cause resentment, because males have "male privilege" a heck of a lot.  I knew a woman who became a man surgically and it was a success and their construction career continued, and I heard a lot of inside stuff which was pretty sad and which applied in a lot of the world.  I have a clip up on polyandry you might like.

  22. Erik Johannessen They do not have the same pain level tolerance women do and they don't live as long.  They are not as productive as female workers are.  Embryoes start as female and the male thing sets in after some months, not at first.  Males are like a mutation, ha ha ha!!  Really, you have only to look at, say, traditional Viking culture or, say, Jewish culture.  Among the Vikings, the wife would get the key to the coffer to wear on her belt for life, and she'd have to raise the kids, deal with the animals, plant, build, do family business, and protect the home while the spouse was away, often permanently, to hunt, gather, explore, et c.  Among Jews, the wife is the boss and men just go to work and turn over their pay, and to keep them out of saloons, they are sent off to pray, which is not considered very important as an activity among Jews.  Men don't bond for life, generally, as women do, or at least not in the same way.  They tend to seek "strange pussy" once "their" female has born them a child.  They often need highly structured environments and a lot of looking after.  They will tend to get violent and not be diplomatic, to seek peace.  They tend to be likelier to kill and maim than females.  They're often like puppies wearing lead helmets.  They MUST CHASE THAT CAR, and when things go wrong, bump, bump, thump, thump and then they want a female to rush out and coo over them, "Oh, poor puppy, are you okay?"  Answer:  OF COURSE THEY ARE OKAY.  THEY ARE WEARING LEAD HELMETS.

  25. The guest is crazy.  In the 1890s, the tax on the rich was about 90%.  It was about sixty per cent. in the '30s, and was about 50% until about 1980 when Reagan was elected.  Hello??  I was there for the seventies stuff.  Adult.  Americans are GENERALLY taxed lower than most other countries.  I stress GENERALLY, okay?  Pretty good clip, thanks.

  26. I can really understand your view.  It may seem cold, but cost-effectiveness does have to be considered.  I recall a college pal in NYC -- I met him again years later at a job.  He was a long-term temp there.  We met outside the job and this was a guy who didn't even have a beer let alone smoke a cigarette or do drugs.  (He was not on benefits, btw.)  He told me about a banking job he didn't even actually want.  He'd been hired and told to show up in a month.  But first, a drug test was needed.  He didn't like it, but he took it.  He went to work on Day One a month later and they told him he'd failed and would not be retained.  He was incensed.  He said, why did you waste my time?  I want another test.  They refused.  It was an employment at will state, so he was screwed.  I had avoided drugs testing all along in the USA and never agreed to it, and in my new country I have refused it, also.  In my new country, even if you are fully disabled, benefits are not for life and come up for review every few years.  It's not a free ride, benefits are slim and accepting them is considered shameful here.  The legal system makes parents responsible for feeding, clothing and housing their kids for life, it is in perpetuity.  If someone is a dole cheat and actually is some druggie, I say get them some help but yeah that behavior is not acceptable, I do not like it.

  27. DrunkVegan I left the USA in '94 and things did vary from state to state, I recall.  Thanks for the info.  I had my US Soc Sec disability process fail over 15 years of trying because they kept losing my dossiers.  22 years over there of declared work for nothing.  So it goes.

  28. The reasonable feminists, and they do and have exist/existed, are aware of male stuff and don't want to be unfair to them at all.

  30. July weddings are inauscpicious.  One of the reasons the audiences for ROMEO & JULIET grasped that it was a tragedy was the give-away hint that they were married in July.  I've been really selective about weddings I've attended or participated in over six decades.  There've been maybe half a dozen.  Weddings are stupid.  The concepts of marital monogomy and "for life" relationships are crazy.  Not doable.

  41. DrunkVegan Ha ha ha ha!!  My other channel name is slobomotion, and my spouse created that in 2007 but then immediately got bored with YT, so I took it over.  This channel name, cutcatfaith, was created by an American woman who was coming over here to France in 2009 to marry a Parisian guy, but she immediately messed up her marriage and life here and dropped me.  I thought, oh, well, it's a channel name, whatever.  About a year later she threatened me to take it all down and it bordered on blackmail.  Idiot American woman, in over her head from California.  Oh, well! Funny story, on your part!

  44. Well, community property laws in the USA are something you might want to look into, and it certainly varies from state to state.  I got nothing from two American divorces in NYS because the spouses claimed alimony.  Their lying, infidelity, unwillingness to work ... that was my bad judgment, but I did know the law -- I'd worked in it later on.  Heaven help a divorcée in my new country.  Or any female seeking basic child support, slim as it's decreed to be here.  Could be you're not seeing the forest for the trees with this one ...

  45. I've always found funerals interesting and have attended in various cultures and countries.  I have some clips up on this on YT and Dailymotion and just went to zeeklytv.  In my own American family, the bodies were just disposed of, not seen, and it was a party, though a thoughtful one.  I am in Europe now and have traveled to see catacombs and ossuaries, et c.  I enjoy talking to Africans and have learned a lot.  I enjoyed Jewish funerals even though they were sad.  I felt that thoughtful wakes were very good in the USA, there was concern for the bereaved, food, money and aid were given, and, oh, I sold life insurance and long term care and disability policies in the USA, where I also did estate planning, with a legal background, and that was really good stuff FOR MYSELF.  I helped people.  Good clip -- thank you.  Uprated.

  46. Excuse me, I owed my second husband in the USA alimony.  Over 20 years ago.  ahem

  47. DUKEisALIVE She seems to and it was a 25-year marriage.

  48. HexStickman (A. Mirage) I liked Jewish funerals.  No flowers, a washed body wrapped in linen only and naked, a box without metal nails, put into the ground.  A week of sitting quietly with depravation for the bereaved, sad and solemn.  Then, we carry on.

  49. Have you ever been married?  Alimony can apply to males, you know that, right?  In the USA?

  50. M Theory Enthusiast For what I suffered in three marriages a billion wouldn't have been out of line by much.  Seriously.  My health was destroyed, my children died, careers wrecked, country lost, families lost, homeless twice, diplomas useless in this new country, still have nightmares from 30+ years ago and physical scars.
