Dittoooo.... And wow... its been over 2 years since we chatted on this...

Found ja... :)

Is that all marrage is to you? A contract? A business deal where you can back out the moment a stipulation of the contract is violated? Its a commitment. A pledge, to yourself and your partner. Such a commitment is not to be taken lightly. Its an oath.

Also, why divorce them if you still love and care for them? Its not asking I you should love them, but if you should divrce them. Its silly to "Be there for them" oh by the way I'm divorcing you.

What does that tell your family? Your children? Your spouses family? Think, years down the road. Someon divorces your sister, because she had alzheimers. What do you think of her husbnd? Is he a loving man? Or did he just take the first boat out when the situation got tough.

Although it may not be a public declaration, couples swear loyalty to eachothr all the time. I doubt anyone would marry anyone without reassurancethat their partner would always be there for them. It is possible, but if that was the case, where they could not make such an oath to eachothr even in private, why even bother getting married?

But, part of the implied commitment of marriage is that you'll take care of your partner. I think it would be shameful to abandon them when they needed you the most.

Also, I do not see the connection between them "Alzheimerz" and "No more commitment." I believe they need you the most. So the commitment must be strongest then.

Finally, they truly need you. They may not want you, you may not want them. But they truly NEED you. I cannot underline it enough. They are literally unable to survive without people looking out for them. And if you decided that your commiment as a spouse was over when they started doing bad, you are denying their need. Therefore, abandoning.

Yes, you are correct. They cannot enter anew contract.

This debate is on whether its reasonable to divorce someone.

I think its stressful, but not a legitimate excuse, as the one being divorced is now more dependandant then ever. Just imagine the justice if your grandma was left, alone. Yes, it is messed up that she can't reember wo she is, or her family. But imagine if they decided it was best for them, to distace themselves from her.

I don't see itgetting out of hand. You say you think its a justified reason for divorce. I say tha thatis cold blooded and heartless. :) Tell m how it is not cold blooded and heatless to excuse yourself when thy need you most.

First of all, I love how you just started ignoring my logical post in an effort to keep yourself from looking like heartless monstrocities.

People declared unfit to manage their personal affairs do not file taxes. Even if they were legally allowed to, they woul be incapable of such an act.

Additionally, leaving them alone is th most assured way to ACTUALLY abandon them. It'd only be a few weeks, maybe even days, beforethey burn their house down trapped inside, invite a total stranger into their house, or worse.

Dear god. You are lost. Enjoy your life of solitude. I hope no one ever has t depend on yu.

Not just commitment, but their physical, and emotional wellbeing are endangered here. If the spouse isn't in the picture, who will take care of them? The children? I thought we already established this as unlikely. Nursing care? Sure, if you watch the news, you'll realize that this is a roll of the dice.

You are saying that your precence will bother them. I am saying that truly leaving their fate to someone else will destroy them, in our world, as well as thiers.

The woman is bitter. She is blaming all the problems of her life on church and the marriage arrangement. If she viewed marriage equivalent to sexual slavery, she should remember that marriage is a voluntary arrangement.

In strictly archaic terms: Marriage is tough. I do not know how long ago this essay was written, but due to th fact that she addresses women as unable to work, and the church as being so powerful, id have to say it was from the 60's or older. But even then, women had the option of being "Old maids" who were single self providing women. Such a lot in life was always an option in western society, albeit, an undesirable one due to the fact that she would never bear children. If it was written more recently, id tell her to get out of the dark ages. Butlets focus on archaic society for a minute. The man worked all day in the field. There was no labor laws. the man was abused and brutalized at work, all to provide for himself, his wife, and his children. Same as his father, and his father prior.

Now, is it really so cruel of him to ask his wife to take care of the domestic chores of the houe while he works all day?

Secondly, as for sex. Both men and women have an inborn need for sex. Its also instinctive for them both to want to raise children. If she was bitter about that, its unfortunate that she was not satisfied with her lot in life.

Now, modern times: life still sucks. Men work in jobs mearly to pay off bills, and mae rent. Women do the same. As a man, I know I could very well work till the day I die. I have no sympathy for the lady who wrote the essay. She didn't go anywhere in life she was satisfied of because "she was a woman" and I won't either. So no pitty.

My goodness... I should stop foruming from my phone. My typos are horrid.

Thanks for the support Llave.

My point stands. You married the spouse, and promised to look after them. How can you look into your spouses eyes and say you wanted to spend the rest of thier lives with them... and then within a few years... "She doesnt remember me. I'm out of here."

Yes, medical facilities exist specializing in care for alzheimers patients. But its the families responsibility to visit the patient, and ensure that they are taken care of. Guess who is the closest family member? Not the children. The spouse. But that is of course... assuming the spouse isnt a coward who divorced them simply because it was not convient for thier lifestyle to be married to someone who is disabled.

EDIT: Someone asked earlier if an azheimers patient can divorce someone. The answer is no. If an alzheimers patient is declared incapable of managing thier own personal affairs (in america, it takes two doctors declaring them unfit, which is given at the time of diagnosis) then they have very limited rights. Its done to protect the alzheimers patient. For example, a greedy child decides to rewrite the will, and going against the parents wishes, they pressure the parent to rewrite it to the sole benefit of the greedy child. Since the parent is not of a sound state of mind, it would be easy to pressure the parent into such an agreement. This is another reason spouses should stay around. Its called "Elder Finanancial Abuse" which is basically someone taking advantage of the elders disabled position. The elderly is most vulrable in the phase when the alzheimers is begining, but they have not officially been declared incapable to manage thier affairs.

Guess who takes advantage the most? Nurses and caretakers. Now, most nurses and caretakers are honest people. But think, they have only a professional emotional attachment to the alzheimers sufferer. Such a distant attachment makes it easy for them to take advantage.

Without a family member of sound mind nearby to say whats right and wrong, they are all the more vulnrable.

Loyalty has everything to do with it.

We will never agree. Why?

I am argueing what's best for yur spouse. You are arguein what's best for you. Selfish indeed.

You people have no sense of loyalty. "I'm only maried to her while its good for me." Isn't very fair. Its selfish and cruel.

"She doesn't know me. Therefore I've no commitment to her." Is even worse. If alzheimers gets that bad, they NEED someone to take care of them. Make sure they eat everyday, no one takes advantage of them financially or otherwise. Make sure the nurses arnt abusing them. They NEED you, and you're abandoning them in their moment of need. Think for a minute... would you rather live with someone you don't know, and actually betaken care of. Or suddenly find out your all alone, in the midle of the night ,hungry, poorly dressed (no jacket), broke, just been mugged, and no damn clue how you got there?

You have no heart, and no loyalty, no justice if you just divorce them.

If I go crazy will you stil call me superman?
If I'm alive and well, will you be there holding my hand?

"For better or for worse, in sickness and in health."

You pledge your life to someone unconditionally. Think, their mind may be mostly gone, but they are stll the lover you pldged your life too. Anyone who would abandon someone infact has no honor or loyalty. Its not their fault an illness destroyed their life. Why would you abandoned them?

Ideas on who could match: ill only specialize in one side of the arguement. And no, I won't be upset if I lose.

Squad on Squad:

We know both Ansems were trying to artificially creat Hearts. Ansem the Wise viewed this as dangerous when he started realizing that hi reasearch was dangerous. Ansem the Heartless viewed this as an acceptable loss, and launced a coup. I believe that emblems are an unfinished product. They are newly created artificial hearts, but covered in darkness. Weras, purebloods are devourers of hearts foun naturally where darkness is strongest. Thre is no solid evidence to verify my theory, but, we have Ansems Quote, "akk hearts begin in darkness, and all hearts end in darkness. Such is its nature." This implies that darkness can both create and end hearts.

Nintendo still makes video game systems. Someone already has an edge. X3

And seriously... I wanna do something as a Specialist not a judge fr a cuple rounds. I kno my Starcraft, Kingdom Hearts, Naruto (Actually an anime, but they have naruto games), and Soul Caliber well enough to be a specialist.. :)

Whos next?

You people are stupid. It is not humans who are destroying the world... but rather the stupid ones. Why would we nuke the world? Thats just stupid. That would destroy more of the world than is already decaying. The best solution is to control rate of birth to get population down. Its slow, but not idiotic. If we simply kill people to save the world, what determines whos evil and not? Sure, at first it would be reasonable, the murderers and rapist would be the first to go if society as a whole decided to take such extreme measures, but then who? Petty thieves? Small time crooks? Ok, there dead, worlds still falling apart... Now who? Jews? Religious Zealots who refuse to renounce thier faith? Gypsies? Under this plan, something has got to give. Hey, you know what, it was tried once in history. Guess who tried it?

> This guy... <

The fact that a few people voted to kill of the world is just sickening. Haven't you people learned from history.

I said it once, I will say it again. I scaled down the battle to simply squad on squad simply because otherwise the Orks would be too overwhelming. Warhammer 40k is just too overpowered, and that especially applies to the Orks. In macro warefare, the reinforcements would arrive faster than any army could stop them. In ideal circumstances (the different clans cooperating and not infighting) the Orks are literally unbeatable.

That being said, the Krogans did win this battle primarily because the Claymore Shotgun was just a devastating weapon. At midrange, the Krogans were at a disadvantage... but given the culture, strategy and tactics, of each society, they would both prefer a closed quarters battle, which favors the Krogan.

And honestly... I thought Commander Shepard vs Adam Jensen was a tough match... I was really stressed out over this one... I was calling up everyone I know who is geeky enough to help me about this and asking there opinions. Heck, I even asked my dad what would happen... <_<
