dobs- then i guess we are discussing two radically different things. i was referring to marriage as in it all across the world as i would believe sair began it with. you took it to mean the US. in any event, i still feel that is a gross generlization based upon very materiarchal practices; i do not really feel many people getting 'married' choose 'china' or 'patterns' as one would say 30 years ago. but i could certainly be incorrect.

Just look at the damage women do.
Take Sarah from Hampshire for example... Just a god-damned troublemaker.

I think you are onto something sair but I don't think it is particularly about marriage. I think people who get married nowadays are doing so more because they want to rather than have to as it was 20-30 years ago.
I think there is a trend in our culture to treat everything as throwaway or instant, and this relates to relationships too.
It's an interesting concept you have, I would just push it a bit further in other directions.

Do you think your average Nascar fan cares which color flowers are at the wedding?
Those are your average blue collar citizens.
That is my point, it isn't a jab at any of you people.

uh oh, from marriage to US politics, this thread is now wired to explode and I'm away home ;D
be excellent to each other

no personal jab taken at all, dobs. i just think the definition of marriage to the majority of people (in the US and not) has expanded beyond this perspective.
- mrdobolina0
yes it has. sorry. Im out.

It's another sociatol expectation/pressure. Just like buying a house, having kids, getting the boys circumcised, telling them about Santa Clause etc.
None of this shit makes any sense outside of society.

I'm really loving the generalization that every nascar fan thinks the exact same way. Very awesome.
I'll have to inform my dad that he needs to beat mom and the grandkids, buy a gun, be stupid and no longer believe in the sanctity of marriage because he watches nascar.
Oh, and to my knowledge although he is a nascar fan he doesn't have any #s of the drivers on his car as stickers.
And I know you weren't taking any stabs at us.

Nascar generalizations are so fun though...

Kona, I didn't say any of the things you just posted.
Does that matter at all or do you just like to see yourself type?

(Mar 13 06, 09:28)I agree with you there.
mrdobs, you didn't have to. You 'insinuated it'. Like when I generalize about muslims... you know. I mean you've pointed it out before and all. I generalize about muslims, you generalize about nascar watchers. Same thing. It's ok. Don't get mad. I'm not.

I still agree with everything k0na is typing.
Women are into marriage more than men are? Maybe that's true, but there's no excuse for a man not to enjoy, accept, or want a marriage just as much. It's not necessarily all biological, there's tons of societal pressures, stereotypes, and expectations in there.
I've always told myself that I would never have a huge, fancy wedding, but I'm not going to know until that day comes.

you really are an argumentative bitch. Hopefully you dont argue with your wife like you do with me.
