You know Mormon priests are 16-17 year old boys, right?

It's really easy to just not go to church. And credits get transferred all the time. You're letting your hate affect your perception of reality.

If there is, don't mention it out loud, or it will be next.

Sure, if you were wealthy enough to have a pager.

Pick one argument you made that you think is the best, and I'll show you why it's erroneous.

And no, I wouldn't want to wait. I've been the woman in this scenario. I was three months pregnant when my husband physically attacked me. You need a swift legal end. It's easy to write a divorce agreement that deals with situations that don't yet exist. Most every single one deals with at least a few. (When the house sells, at retirement age, when taxes are due, etc.) Why not when a baby is born?

Until that line is signed by a judge, men like my husband continue to drag you back because they think they own you under the law.

Your arguments sound great to anyone who hasn't actually been in that situation. But every one of them can be addressed without forcing a woman to stay married to her abuser.

Yes, he does. What in the world makes you think otherwise? Parents have equal and open custody without an order otherwise.

Because leaving a relationship is the single most dangerous time for an abuse victim. Remaining married and not having divorce proceedings in place gives your spouse rights that can let them find and control you more easily if you try to leave. It's safer to keep it secret until you can take necessary steps.

None of those reasons are valid. Not one.

Both of the major escalations in my relationship were when I was pregnant.

If this had been a law for me, I and my children might very well be dead now.

I can see why your conversations get removed.

Because do no harm is a basic tenet of right vs. wrong.

You stand too much for something, you'll swallow anything, too.

That's a whole other kind of pollution, though. And to feed horses at a level that could replace modern transportation would likely negatively affect human food production. And where would these horses be housed? You'd also have to prepare for the rampant animal abuse that would ratchet up.

There is no advantage to being a victim that can even scratch the surface of the disadvantage of being a victim.

Only people who have never really been a victim can imagine there's anything remotely resembling an advantage.

No. People tend to get cranky from sitting too long on their computers and getting bed sores on their nethers.

It's not worth arguing.

No. No one is actually harmed.

Which is pretty American, if you think about it.

Same with most of them. I don't think more than 2-3 are labeled correctly.

There is no possible way to fix an experience that is built on the idea of shopping for people.

Maybe if you were to hide profile pics until a long conversation happened, and if you were able to rate people once you've conversed with them it would push things to be less shallow. But I'm sure there would be ways around it.
