My Hero
There are a couple of things in the news lately that I decided I want to write about. First, I want to talk about my new hero. This guy is my idol. Millionaire, H. Beatty Chadwick has sat In prison for over a decade now, because he refuses to tell the court where 2.5 million dollars is located. This all stems from a nasty divorce that he went through. Think about that for a minute... He hates this woman so fucking much, that he would sit in prison for over ten years, rather than give her a single penny. To get out of prison, all he has to do is tell the authorities where his money is, or allow them access to certain files. I have no idea what happended in this divorce, but im sure it is her fault. She must have let his father and brothers train bang her on top of his rolls royce, while she gave oral sex to his favorite dog. Hell, that doesn't matter, he could have sodomized the maid for all I care. So why is this guy my hero? It is not her fucking money. Why should he have to give up his money? I have known several people in nasty marriages, that are stuck there because they can't afford a divorce. The whole concept of alimony just boggles my fucking mind as well. It is fucking ridiculous that a man or a woman should have to pay their ex spouse money until that person has re-married. I would choose prison as well. At work we have had some heated debates about prenuptual agreements. So im going to bring it up again. If I had assets at the time I got married, I would have demanded that amy sign a prenuptial. If she refused, then I would be single, and likely to have an STD or two. Many of the women that I work with (sam and isabel) seem to think that this is just a one way street for men. Women that go into a marriage with money want prenuptials as well. Both Sam and Isabel think that they should be allowed to walk into a marriage with a bag and leave with half the other person's money. Would you demand one if you had a lot to lose? Would you sign one if requested by your fiance? Isabel and Sam can go ahead and comment with their irrational crazy woman answers if they want to.
The other thing that I found rather funny, is the fact that New York and California where declared the two states with the dirtiest air. The risk of getting cancer in these two states is about 20% higher than in any other state. I love this because these are the two states that started the whole smoking ban bullshit. I hope all these politicians and council members develop lung cancer.... Bastards. A city in California has made it entirely illegal to smoke with in the city limits. You can smoke in your home or in your car, but only if the windows are rolled up. They tried that bullshit, here in Amarillo a couple of months ago. I know more non-smokers that went and voted against that then I do smokers. Rights are being slowly diminished. What a great fucking country.... I said before that I will not be surprised in the next few years when I can legally smoke a joint on the sidewalk, but will go to jail for lighting up a cigarette.

Let's say alex was filthy rich. You think that it is fair for you to make him sleep on the couch every night or to kick him out of the house on a daily basis, and then when you are done with him, you should get half his stuff?

I am married, and neither of us had shit to make up a prenump for when we got married. But I feel like if you are getting married for the right reason (love) then what the fuck is wrong with it? My friend says that money shouldn't be an issue when it comes to your marriage, and I agree... so what's wrong with giving up your claim to half of the person you love's moolah? It seems to me that it's just signing something that says "if things go to shit, then I'm going back to my old apartment that I had before you we got married". It also seems that if a poor person is marrying a rich person, and then the rufuses to sign a prenump, it's like admitting that you intend to divorce them and take half of EVERYTHING. So if I were rich and found a hottie poor young bastard that wanted to marry me, I would make him sign it or walk away... By signing it, I think it shows that cash is not a factor in your love for this person.

I'm really not sure about the prenup. Part of me listens to Charlotte in Sex & The City, when she hates hearing the word "divorce" all the time before she and Trey are even married. Of course, she gets a million dollars and their gorgeous NYC appartment when they're divorced.
The other part of me says yeah, the prenup does make it official that you're not with the person for their money. Or, if by the grace of God I ever have money, I can keep it.
Times, they are a-changin', so I guess I'd go with the prenup. But I don't think I'll ever get lucky enough to be married, so my opinion is moot.
P.S. Lovely visual aid; I hope you arranged for safe transportation. That shit wasn't even on our test. Pfft.

I agree with you cole. There's no way my old lady is gonna get away with my hard earn valuables or money. Aint having it. No way. Throughout the marrige we can play "what's urs is mine and what's mine is urs" but once a divorce comes about, that game is over. What's mine is mine and whats urs is mine (i mean urs).

I don't HAVE any "irrational woman comments" but I will say this.
After what went down with Jessica Simpson and her old man, I guess a prenup would have been a good idea.
BUT I still stand behind the fact that it's not very romantic. And it IS like admitting that your marriage isn't going to work out.
And Isabel IS the prettiest Mexican here. (sorry Jr)

I need to add that IF you are so sure about your marriage, then signing it won't make a bit of difference because you're not going to get divorced anyway, right? I have met some people in my life that are BIG fucking liars. When we lived on the military base, I met more than one woman who married her military husband because she wanted the financial security, and one of those women KNEW that if you are active duty, and you get divorced after having a kid, SHE gets EVERYTHING. I watched a divorce where the husband catches the wife fucking another guy in their house while he was at work, right before the divorce was final, she started fucking up things in the house, so he pushed her and she fell and hit her head on the wall, she got up, broke PLATES (more than one) over his head, then called the police and blamed him for it. She moved to Alaska because he was stationed in Florida, and he sends 80% of his first paycheck and 60% of his second paycheck EVERY month to her, and if he wants to see his daughter, he has to come up with a way to fly himself to Alaska to visit her, since the wife got custody. He got royally fucked over. If he would have had a prenump, at least he would have the money to go and see his daughter.
