    I think your view of the way the United States may be slightly flawed. We are not such a conservative country as you may have come to think. The reason we have people preaching family values is that those family values have in many ways disappeared from our culture, and people have recognized that and are trying, unsuccessfully, to bring them back. If the United States really was as religious and centered on family values as it used to be we wouldn't have so many people fighting to preserve those values as we have today because they are under threat of extinction.

    But in our culture a women can easily Support herself. Plus she is awarded a subsidy called alimony. Short for " all da money " Couple that with a selfish egocentric nature and the result is predictable. That and afro influences.

    I think most young people just get married for the wrong reasons, and divorce is too damn easy.

    Its all ME, not US.

    It seems no one want to commit to a relationship.
