Why do men even bother to get married anymore?
First, I’ll make a statement; in today’s Western culture, men are now second class citizens whom have been systematically robbed of basic human rights.
Men have been sold down the river by a society that we made in the first place. Look around your home or workplace and all the modern gadgets and systems are the creation of men. Our country’s entire infrastructure was designed and built by men. Our system of democracy was likewise dreamed up and implemented by men. Our schools, hospitals, trains, roads, sewers systems, water distribution, electricity, telephones, the Internet and more were all invented and built by men. So how does our society repay us? By robbing us of our basic human rights.
If you’re a man in today’s world there’s a very good chance you’re divorced and if you are the court system will rob you of your children, your home and assets regardless of the fact that the divorce was caused by your cheating wife. The law doesn’t care what your wife has done as it generously awards her custody of your kids (whom you’ll probably lose touch with) your home (that took you years to pay for) and your assets including your future income and pension. Your wife may well be guilty of adultery or she may think that somehow she’s missing out on a great life on offer elsewhere. It doesn’t matter, the result of divorce is predictable -you (the man) will lose everything you’ve worked for.
And it doesn’t stop there. If your wife is particularly spiteful she can make up allegations that you beat her. She’ll not need any evidence at all to get you thrown out of your home and into court. Unlike all other crimes, no evidence is needed except the word of your wife and it doesn’t matter what evidence you bring to show that she is the violent one, no one will believe you. Indeed, if your wife decides to murder you all she has to do is make up these allegations and hey presto….she gets away Scott free. Because you are a man you do not matter and you can be murdered by your wife with complete immunity from prosecution. They may even make a film about her where she is depicted as a hero for setting you on fire while you were asleep.
So tell me why men are still stupid enough to get married in this day in age.
Why do men get married? Love of course. Love makes people take risks and do insane things but if two people truly love each other, it’s all worth it in the end.
I’m looking for colleges/universities in the United States or Canada (preferably east of the Mississippi River) that have really good foreign language programs. By "really good" I mean that I’m looking for a place with a wide range of language courses/majors, and also very good language/culture professors, study abroad programs, and support/connection systems for students involved in the programs.
Are there any that you would suggest?
Thanks for your input.

The Independent Member for Gippsland East, Craig Ingram, has condemned the use of the Thomson Rivers environmental entitlement for consumptive use by Melbourne.
Mr Ingrams comments follow an announcement by the State Government this week that an extra 10,000 megalitres from the Thomson will go towards supplying water for Melbourne.
The impact of taking 10 billon litres from the already stressed Thomson will seriously affect the river and have a flow-on effect all the way through the Gippsland Lakes catchment, Mr Ingram said.
Melbourne is clearly in a water crisis and hard decisions need to be taken, but to suspend environmental flows before other options like further water savings or moving to Stage 4 bans in the city is the wrong option.
Just last week in Parliament, all sides of politics contributed to the debate on the health and future of the Gippsland Lakes. Now, the government has taken a decision that will have a serious negative impact on our regions most important asset.
Mr Ingram said it was hypocritical of the Labor Party to campaign against the coalitions proposed damming of the Mitchell River, and then support the suspension of environmental flows to the Thomson River.
The Thomson decision comes after the government has already committed water from the Goulburn reserve and Snowy and Murray water savings for the first year of the north-south pipe operation, he said.
This decision is a direct result of the lack of adequate water planning by this government over the past decade.
For the past decade I have been raising the issues associated with Melbournes poor water use, lack of planning and real action in demand management and highlighting the realistic alternative water.
Gippsland is continuing to suffer from prolonged drought and this year is shaping up as another difficult season with low river flows.
The Gippsland Lakes system needs to have a protected fresh water entitlement to ensure that the health of its rivers and can be maintained to ensure we pass on the lakes in a better condition to the next generation, Mr Ingram concluded.

Southern Africa by Air – Luangwa- Part2
The Luangwa flows along four-fifths of the Luangwa Rift Valley to the point where it meets the Lukusashi and the Lunsemfwa which has come from the opposite direction. At one time, millions of years ago, there was no way out and the Luangwa Rift filled with a Rift Valley Lake called the Madumabisa Lake, which rivalled Lake Malawi in size. The water of the lake overflowed in a river to the south-west, towards what is now the Kalahari, where it combined with the Okavango, Upper Zambezi, Cuando and Kafue rivers, emptying into the Limpopo River and flowing to the Indian Ocean.
Several geological events combined to produce the current river systems. Faulting produced another graben just to the south of the Luangwa Rift, and running east-west: the Zambezi Rift Valley and the Chicoa Trough. A tributary of the Shire River at the south end of the Great Rift Valley then cut back eastwards through the Chicao Trough and Zambezi Valley, capturing the southerly overspill of the Madumabisa Lake. This tributary became the Zambezi, which over millions of years captured the Kafue, Cuando and the upper Zambezi. Faulting lowered the land between the Luangwa Rift and the Zambezi Rift allowing Madumabisa Lake to drain out into the Zambezi in a channel which became the lower Luangwa River.

A Drive Through Cape Breton In A Tractor Trailer Highway 105 April 17 2008 Music By Natalie MacMaster David’s Jig
Cape Breton Island (French: île du Cap-Breton – formerly île Royale, Scottish Gaelic: Eilean Cheap Breatuinn, Míkmaq: Únamakika, simply: Cape Breton) is an island on the Atlantic coast of North America. It likely corresponds to the French word “Breton”, referring to Brittany.
Cape Breton Island is part of the province of Nova Scotia, Canada. Although physically separated from the Nova Scotia peninsula by the Strait of Canso, it is artificially connected to mainland Nova Scotia by the Canso Causeway. The island is located east-northeast of the mainland with its northern and western coasts fronting on the Gulf of St. Lawrence; its western coast also forming the eastern limits of the Northumberland Strait. The eastern and southern coasts front the Atlantic Ocean; its eastern coast also forming the western limits of the Cabot Strait. Its landmass slopes upward from south to north, culminating in the highlands of its northern cape. A saltwater estuary, Bras d’Or Lake, dominates the centre of the island.
The island is divided into four of Nova Scotia’s eighteen counties: Cape Breton, Inverness, Richmond, and Victoria. Their total population as of the 2001 census numbered 147,454 “Cape Bretoners”; this is approximately 16% of the provincial population. Cape Breton Island has experienced a decline in population of approximately 6.8% since the previous census in 1996. Approximately 72% of the island’s population is located in the Cape Breton Regional Municipality (CBRM) which includes all of Cape Breton County and is often referred to as Industrial Cape Breton, given the history of coal mining and steel manufacturing in this area.
The island contains five reserves of the Mi’kmaq Nation, these being: Eskasoni, Membertou, Wagmatcook, We’kopaq/Waycobah, and Potlotek/Chapel Island. Eskasoni is the largest in both population and land area.
The island measures 10,311 square kilometres in area (3,981 sq mi), making it the 75th largest island in the world and Canada’s 18th largest island. Cape Breton Island is composed mainly of rocky shores, rolling farmland, glacial valleys, barren headlands, mountains, woods and plateaus. Geological evidence suggests that at least part of the island was originally joined with present-day Scotland and Norway, now separated by millions of years of continental drift.
The northern portion of Cape Breton Island is dominated by the Cape Breton Highlands, commonly shortened to simply the “Highlands”, which are an extension of the Appalachian mountain chain. The Highlands comprise the northern portions of Inverness and Victoria counties. In 1936 the federal government established the Cape Breton Highlands National Park covering 949 km2 (366 sq mi) across the northern third of the Highlands. The Cabot Trail scenic highway also encircles the coastal perimeter of the plateau.
Cape Breton Island’s hydrological features include the Bras d’Or Lake system, a salt-water fjord at the heart of the island, and freshwater features including Lake Ainslie, the Margaree river system, and the Mira River. Innumerable smaller rivers and streams drain into the Bras d’Or Lake estuary and onto the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Atlantic coasts.
Cape Breton Island is joined to the mainland by the Canso Causeway, which was completed in 1955, enabling direct road and rail traffic to and from the island, but requiring marine traffic to pass through the Canso Canal at the eastern end of the causeway.
Cape Breton Island is divided into four counties: Cape Breton, Inverness, Richmond, and Victoria.

A person could sit and watch the river traffic on the Chao Phraya River for hours. Tugboats pulling long barges. Long tail boats. Rice boats used to carry rice and some converted for tourists. Then prepare to spend even more time by taking one of the ferries in either direction on the Chao Phraya. Get ready to move fast! The boats pull in. People jump off. Others jump on and it’s away in a flash. No time for the boatmen to wait for stragglers.
The ferry system is easy to work out with maps and English-speaking personnel selling tickets at all stops. The Navalai River Resort had Stop. No. 13 right at it’s doorstep…or riverstep. Fun, fun, fun in Bangkok and part of the whole experience. Don’t miss it….
