The divorce rate for first marriages is around 30%, it has been declining steadily. The divorce rate for 2nd, 3rd, and subsequent marriages is higher up around 60%. This tells us two things:
One: marriage is not something you get better at with more practice.
Two: It's mostly the same people getting divorced. (and they are loud)

Choose wisely and marriage is the best thing you will ever do. You will be happier over your lifetime.

Your comment is outragous. If you breastfeed and avoid or get free childcare you will still be out of pocket around $5k in expenses every year, bare minimum. So you might break even if you are extremely frugal.

I didn't say dissolution of the euro was likely, just more likely then a US debt default. Short of a revolution, a US debt default is almost impossible.

Personal laptop does not preclude an encrypted volume. You may not want whole disk encryption, but data should be encrypted.

Default for oil is not what makes the Dollar strong. Ability to manage your fiscal policy is what makes the dollar strong, the euro doesn't have that and won't for the foreseeable future.

The dissolution of the euro is more likely then the default of US debt.

I am in the US, you previously indicated you are not. The only currency that looked like it could possible challenge the Dollar, was the Euro, and they need to do some house cleaning before that happens.

It's a complicated long term plan that involves periodic bursts of activity such as debating and voting. In the short term I back civil disobedience and I firmly believe that it will eventually result in decriminalization.

Look at the drug war. Sure, there are casualties, but most of them got greedy, so don't get greedy.

and I disagree on the debt default, we print our own money over here and people are still buying.

No, I am catching up on my slashdot and replying to things I find interesting. Looking for a stimulating debate.

I think the US ignores mental issues because of our health care system. All the people I have heard in the news talking about the problems they or their loved one have had getting care, are really asking for a single payer system.

You would prefer unreasonably?
