I can't engage in a feasible debate with someone who believes Britney hasn't changed the game of pop music and imagery.
People said the exact same thing about Janet Jackson. Britney IS an icon and a legend, regardless of whether you like it or not. Calling her untalented is a joke — she may not have the best singing voice, but she commands the stage and has been the number one popstar for well over a decade.
ANY burden is an undue burden.
So what? I'm a young American woman who would prefer to have a girl. What's wrong with having a preference?
I don't even know how to sew, but I feel as though I could make this dress for under $30. Step 1: Buy a white dress and some colorful fabric Step 2: Print out really large font asterisks Step 3: Cut out asterisks in colored fabric Step 4: Use that iron on sticky crap to get it on the dress Step 5: Profit???
Truth. I left my dog for three weeks (biggest mistake EVER) and I thought she was going to give herself a heart attach when I came to pick her up.
I'm not saying that this woman was forced to give her consent to the marriage. I'm saying that, if the husband was successful in his suit, women would be forced into a marriage they thought they wanted but changed their minds about due to fear of lawsuit.
Okay, first of all, prenups are AGREED upon. This woman didn't agree to pay her ex for emotional damages. Second of all, prenups are AGREED upon BEFORE the wedding. Third of all, prenups are contracts, and there was no contract here. Prenups are in no way analogous to the situation at hand.
There's a gigantic difference between suing someone for the cost of a wedding ring and for emotional distress. One is for monetary compensation. The other is for monetary punishment. They are completely incomparable. Obviously I'm basing my argument on the the man's hypothetical success. And I NEVER said she shouldn't…
Why would anyone want an iPad case made from Bernie Madoff's pants? Or anyone's pants?
What does his threatening to sue her have to do anything? What does how the marriage came about have to do with anything? What does how many people or much the wedding cost have to do with anything? Fine, make her pay half of the actual costs. But emotional distress? The point is that this would set a precedent, and…
Are the implications in America really that frightening? I've never heard someone steadfastly say, "I NEED to have a boy," or "I NEED to have a girl." It's mainly, "I'd like a _____, but as long as it's healthy, it doesn't really matter." Granted, I grew up in a middle class family, so perhaps it's different for…
I can't comprehend how you don't see that "Marry me or I will sue you for everything you're worth" is not a forced marriage.
What it's "about" is irrelevant, what matters is the outcome. ANYONE should have the opportunity to change their mind about who they want to spend the rest of their lives with at ANY point without having to worry about compensating their former significant other.
Defense attorneys are not working to make sure their guilty clients are found not guilty, they're working to protect and uphold the United States Constitution. That is something your relative clearly did not understand.
Saying an arranged marriage is not the same as a forced marriage is completely missing the point. Were this woman found liable, it WOULD have been a forced marriage: marry a man you don't love (or whatever the circumstances are) OR face being sued for all your worth. That's a forced marriage.
Then your relative was a shit defense attorney.
Honey, try living in Florida.
You should see my face right now. I think it's a look of pure horror.
