The idea of stay-at-home mums is wonderful but not practical any longer, imo

http://beer.weremight.com/forums/showthread.php?10269-Women-married-with-children-and-working

I know of two families where the wife was/is a stay at home mum. The first refused to work for 20 years. The husband worked 16 hours a day, 7 days a week for years. Eventually, his body couldn't carry on at that pace, so he had to slow down. They had their house repo'd because he couldn't manage the repayments on their 4 bed, 3 bath house SHE insisted on having.

The house was rarely clean, and to add insult to injury, she never cooked meals.

Wife #2 has not worked for 12 years. The husband works all hours. She never helps the children with homework, and their flat is a tip! He can't afford his own home and rents, and battles to pay the rent and utilities.

These two scenarios anger me. Wife #1 got a well-paying job AFTER they lost their home and can never buy another home again because of a bad credit rating.

Wife #2 says her husband is there to provide, even though they eat spaghetti out of a can, on toast, 3/4 times a week for dinner.

People want to enfroce polygamy laws in British Columbia

Indeed, Bauman spent a great deal of time reviewing the testimony of expert witnesses who have studied polygamy in both fundamentalist Mormon and Muslim communities around the world. In every case, they found that polygamy harms women, men and children. Women in plural marriages tend to suffer from higher rates of depression and other mental health problems, and are also at greater risk of physical abuse than women in monogamous relationships. Polygamous women also enjoy little economic freedom or security, particularly if and when they end the relationship.

Muslim Turkeys Invading Americans' Dinner Tables

I want to talk a little bit about Butterball turkeys. And I want to let you know [that] every single Butterball turkey sold in the United States of America has been sacrificed to Allah.

Every single turkey that Butterball sells has been ritually slaughtered according to Islamic practice and has had an Islamic prayer prayed over that bird while it is being slaughtered.

Looking At Page 3 Makes You Brainy, the headline proclaims. “Scientists (have) discovered that looking at pics of the likes of Lacey, Keeley and Rhian makes the brain react quicker,” the paper says. This raises several questions. Such as: “Don’t people name their girls Martha, Dinah or Lois anymore?” Sorry, no. Only in the Bible.
And: How can gazing upon underclad women possibly boost your brainpower? Doesn’t that usually make men stupid? Leave it to the fun-loving Finns to figure it out.
Researchers at the University of Tampere and Aalto University showed volunteer men and women photos of models in varying stages of undress. Before all you women in sensible shoes cry “sexist pig!”, I hasten to add the models also were male and female.

Survival Shop Reports Jump In Sales To People Preparing For Collapse

“I’ve had people in here that are very wealthy and they’ve spent thousands of dollars just on backpacks that they fill with survival gear, one for each person of their family,” Dorsey said, “And something where they can just grab a bag and get out of Dodge.” Dorsey says some customers talk of stocking up on freeze-dried meals for the home, while others confide they are stashing supplies at a remote location away from the city where they would go in an emergency.
