All conservatives are such from personal defects. They have been effeminated by position or nature, born halt and blind, through luxury of their parents, and can only, like invalids, act on the defensive.

Yep.
And that's, er, nothing to do with what we were talking about.
But whatever, I'm tired of this ping-pong, you either know what I was saying and won't admit it, or just can't see how silly you calling someone else out for BS is after that OP. Either way this is going nowhere fast. Laters.
If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.
All i have to say is this, marriage is a commetment. when you stand on the alter, do you say
"Till you start to have problems."
Or is it more like
"Till death due you part"
When did the meaning change? did english suddenly start to switch definitions?
If you ask me, people should be more like the above quote and stay together. You made your promise, if you don't like the person anymore, to bad. Make sure to tell your kids to be absolutally certain that they love the person they're about to marry.
Yeah, they're gonna have problems, they'll also yell at eachother, but they're also gonna be able to share some of the happiest moments together.
And just to get it back on topic. Yes, girls cost ALOT. Expecially if your only dating them. Trust me.
Alright, and where's your valid sample? Your OP? I think not.
I liked how they said it in License to Wed, when the parents are talking about their marriage to their daughter. They admit that their marriage is happy, but they've had hard times, and even state that years 17-18 were like something out of the Exorcist.
The big problem is not marriage, but the perception of what marriage is like.

I got those figures of of this website -
http://www.divorcerate.org/
But the "official" rate is 49% according to the CDC
Marriage rate: 7.1 per 1,000 total population
Divorce rate: 3.5 per 1,000 population (44 reporting States and D.C.)

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
-- Friedrich Nietzsche
"Most men don't want commitment because they can't afford it financially. "?
So where exactly did you get this? Did you just make it up?
I think mine is a bit simpler.
Because men are sometimes selfish dogs and don't want the responsibility even if they can afford it.
Imagine that your rich and have a neighbor that owns a cow and you can invite the cow over and get free milk anytime you want. Why would you buy the cow?
(Sorry ladies for the cow analogy)
Sometimes it just plain idea of being "tied down" to 1 woman seems stifling.
Um what about she's got 3 kids, that stopped me from continuing to date one girl. That was to much for me.

It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison
Live as free people, yet without employing your freedom as a pretext for wickedness; but live at all times as servants of God. 1 Peter 2:16
