Poll question: How many marriages is too many?
At what point should someone decide that maybe marriage just isn't for them?

3. 21
Edited on Thu Mar-04-04 05:57 PM by Robb
21 times is plenty:

(snip)

The probe revealed that between 1964 and 2000, Sawarka had married a record 21 wives, including two sisters and minors who bore him some 15 children. Under Islam, a man can marry up to four wives as long as he is capable of fulfilling their material and financial needs.

Despite media reports to the contrary, Sawarka told the semi-official al-Gomhuriya on Sunday that he had never been married to more than four women at the same time.

He also dismissed as untrue reports that he had also had a marital relationship with two sisters at the same time.

7. I voted for 3
A person who marries for the first time without a good sense of themselves or what they should be looking for in a partner might make a mistake which could lead to divorce for good reasons. This person should be rather careful about marrying again to make sure they will do it right. If this marriage ends in divorce, perhaps they aren't cut out for marriage.
No offense to Duers who have been married more tahn twice and there are exceptions espcially if one of the spouses died.

9. A casual acquaintence just wrapped up her third marriage.
Edited on Thu Mar-04-04 06:08 PM by bunnyj
And she moans and groans about her "bad luck with men". After a certain point, don't you have to consider that the problem MIGHT be you? :shrug:

10. isn't that the truth
it takes two to tango...I know guys and gals who have bad luck in the dating department and sometimes you just want to say that perhaps they should figure out what they might be doing ...or perhaps they are picking the wrong kind of person to date...

13. With peak oil, does it matter anymore?
For any number of reasons, half of which will pertain to life after the crash...

19. Man you are really on about peak oil aren't you?
Listen man.. I don't honestly think anything can be done except on an individual/commune level.

As a society/world it will all be sliding down the toilet.

If you are that concerned.. I say get married to someone that shares your views and more importantly that you can live with, start planning for the impending doom (Now I sing the doom song!) and stockpile what you will need.

Chiefly - if you are opposed to firearms: change that view soon. I am not advocating becoming one of the roving looters after the big fall; rather defending against those looters. After the end comes.. well let's just look at it as capital punishment, except there is not enough supply to keep them in a prison, plus as messed up as things will be... you will actually be doing them a favor.

Start stockpiling anything you can think of; food, water, medical supplies. Gold and silver might be useful too. More likely though I think things would slide toward a barter system.

Wow. I really am a ranting and raving maniac.

22. I think maybe
you need to start brewing your own bio-diesel. Heaps cleaner, exhaust fumes smell like burgers, easy to make, good interim step to something really clean.

Then, when the oil runs out, you can replace all the oil tycoons and have your way with the world.

Go on, you know you want to :-)

17. I've never been married and don't plan on EVER gettin' married.....
....it's just a fuckin' hassle...spend money doin' it...then pay thru the nose to get out of it...I've been in the same relationship for 13 years already and it's clear that the actual act of actually gettin' married is HIGHLY OVERRATED! :eyes:
