I think you hit the nail on the head with that one.... and somehow also managed to hit one out of the park.

@Fred_Snerd

Yeah I guess. The best a parent can do is cultivate the kid's intelligence as much as possible, so they have a higher ability to be functional while having strong emotions.

Well, that's kind of the point. These are men who don't want women earning more money than them. It would emasculate them. With education, there's that chance and if the woman is earning more money, she'll want to work and not stay at home. Men are supposed to be the breadwinners, men are supposed to be the ones out working, not women.

I was married to someone with these view points. Oh, he had me fooled, used to say that we would be equal and everything but then went back to his church and quickly changed his turn and then some more when children came into the picture. He didn't like it when I went back to school. I had been a SAHM for nine years and he had been fired from yet another job and decided I needed to go back to work but with no college degree at all, not even a two year and no job experience in 9, I needed something. He didn't like it when I put the kids into school because before that time, I was a homeschooling mother trying to figure everything out with little help from him except for him to tell me what I should definitely NOT be teaching them and then when I did go back to school but tried to homeschool an additional year, he would sleep while I was in class leaving my 9 year old and four year old unsupervised. Nope. Final straw was after I started working. That definitely did not improve things. He absolutely could not handle me working, me bringing in more money than him, any of that. He started making plans to go back to South Korea to teach and he's been there over a year now and we've been divorced almost 10 months.

I have little use for these kinds of men and my father was the same way so it really ticks me off that I managed to marry someone like him.

@SimplyJaneen I've run into this before . Tells you anything they think you want to hear to get you , then once you're signed the contract , reverts back to who they truly are and expects you to blindly follow whater failing concepts , they haul out . Should be able to win a suite against them for failure to fulfill the contract .

@Cast1es He moved to Korea before the divorce was finalized. I got the kids, the car, the apartment, everything in it, and I was able to claim both girls on the tax return. He pretty much got nothing but he chose to leave. He's been paying child support though and helping out here and there though gives me grief on things like my youngest daughter needing extensive dental work because her upper jaw is narrow compared to her lower jaw and needs to be extended. I swear he does not believe in science at all sometimes. Not easy taking care of two kids on my own but I'm doing it. I can't regret it too much. I have two beautiful girls out of that marriage. Just wish things had gone differently and that I hadn't been so freaking naive. But I was only 18 when we met and he was 35. Learned a lot in the last 20 years.

@jorj with a dimwit ffor sure

@jorj there is a big difference, though. Christian radio is full of religious hypovrites who always talk crap attacking atheists, non believers, gays, transgendered and even educated women who are usually pro choice. We defend ourselves

@jorj as many? Not a chance, mathematically and statistically impossible. Show m.e your source to back up a claim like that. I know as many is not evidence by the way. And to extend your unsubstantiated claims to educated people shows the typical bias against education and knowledge that I find very disturbing but understandable after eading your bio.. Especially for spmeone who thinks of him as an atheist , being aTrump supporter who doesn't like liberal values confirms what you are all about, proving it I would say.

@jorj There's a difference between educated and intelligent . Educated means you attended and learned information taught in a specified curriculim . You are not self proclaimed educated , you were taught according to specified guide lines . The education is to provide instructions on how to accomplish specific tasks , it is not all about memorizing facts . You can be educated as an electrician or a plumber or a doctor , but once your education is complete , you can use that education to accomplish tasks , in the best way possible . Would you want to have someone who was self educated do surgery on yuor body ? Would you trust driving a car that was built by or repaired by someone who has not been properly trained to do that work ? Think about it , when you're 30,000 feet in the air , about who built the plane you're riding in . A degree does not mean you know everything there is to know about everything there is to know anything about . It means you have invested in learning knowledge about a specific topic . And there are people like you , who are not educated and yet are still arragant and condescenging , because it's easier to cut others down to your level than it is , to actually put the time ,effort , and money into actually learning .

@jorj ripped you down? Please, talk about reading comprehension and being condescending. Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones my friend. There was nothing in my posts that "ripped you down" other than mentioning what you wrote in your bio which clearlyvstates you are not a Trump hater and think 90% of the things he does are hilarious. Does that in itself not say you support him? Anyway, if you want to preach, do as you preach. Otherwise don't pester people here who have better things to do than to waste on condescending trolls.

@jorj obviiusly you didn't read the whole post, the point made was not that but the one at the end.

@jorj name one besides u being obviously biased?

@jorj so you say I ripped you by calling you a Trump supporter when you yourself proclaim in your bio that you are not a Trump hater and that 90% of what he does is hilarious? Wow, what a harsh assumption from my part, totally delusional. By the way, enlighten me which of the 9 out of 10 things Trump does are hilarious? Siding with white nationalist nazis? Thinking climate change is a hoax? Choosing Putin over our intelligence community? Separating immigrant babies from their parents? Which one of this is hilarious to you?

@jorj Atheists, for the major part of those who ARE atheists, do NOT attack the person who is a follower of religion/s, they criticize and often ridicule the Belief System, the dogma it spreads, etc.
