Some sociologists and psychiatrists say that one way to solve the divorce problem is to teach people, especially children, the importance of strong family values and strength of character.

But modern day television shows plots where characters are divorced or remarrying and how involved characters deal with it. Even children’s shows have this, usually to help children deal with divorced or remarrying parents.

But the problem is these plots get misinterpreted by kids. That aside from learning how to deal, they get the impression that divorce IS inevitable. That marriage will ALWAYS be temporary.

So now how would you teach kids how to deal with their divorced/remarried parents AND at the same time teach them the importance of strong family values?

How would you solve this certain aspect of the divorce problem? is a post from: OC Divorce Law

We’ve decided we’re leaving. We intend to
form our own country, and we’re taking the other Blue
States with us.
In case you aren’t aware, that includes
Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan,
Illinois and all the Northeast. We believe this split will
be beneficial to the nation, and especially to the people
of the new country of New California.
To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and
all the slave states. We get stem cell research and the best
beaches. We get the Statue of Liberty. You get Dollywood.
We get Intel, Apple and Microsoft. You get WorldCom. We get
Harvard. You get Ole’ Miss.We get 85 percent of
America’s venture capital and entrepreneurs. You get
Alabama . We get two-thirds of the tax revenue, you get to
make the red states pay their fair share.
Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22 percent
lower than the Christian Coalition’s, we get a bunch of
happy families. You get a bunch of single moms.
Please be aware that Nuevo California will be
pro-choice and anti-war, and we’re going to want all
our citizens back from Iraq at once. If you need people to
fight, ask your evangelicals. They have kids they’re
apparently willing to send to their deaths for no purpose,
and they don’t care if you don’t show pictures of
their children’s caskets coming home. We do wish you
success in Iraq , and hope that the WMDs turn up, but
we’re not willing to spend our resources in Bush’s
Quagmire.
With the Blue States in hand, we will have firm
control of 80 percent of the country’s fresh water, more
than 90 percent of the pineapple and lettuce, 92 percent of
the nation’s fresh fruit, 95 percent of America’s
quality wines (you can serve French wines at state dinners)
90 percent of all cheese, 90 percent of the high tech
industry, most of the U.S. low-sulfur coal, all living
redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister
schools, plus Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Cal Tech and MIT.
With the Red States, on the other hand, you will
have to cope with 88 percent of all obese Americans (and
their projected health care costs), 92 percent of all U.S.
mosquitoes, nearly 100 percent of the tornadoes, 90 percent
of the hurricanes, 99 percent of all Southern Baptists,
virtually 100 percent of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh,
Bob Jones University, Clemson and the University of
Georgia.
We get Hollywood and Yosemite , thank you.
Additionally, 38 percent of those in the Red
states believe Jonah was actually swallowed by a whale, 62
percent believe life is sacred unless we’re discussing
the death penalty or gun laws, 44 percent say that evolution
is only a theory, 53 percent that Saddam was involved in
9/11 and 61 percent of you crazy b ** ***ds believe you are
people with higher morals then we lefties.
By the way, we’re taking the good pot, too.
You can have that dirt weed they grow in Mexico .
Peace out, Blue States

We regret to inform you that we have decided to leave. We intend to form our own country and we are taking the other Blue States with us. In case cannot follow this line of logic, just know that these include California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and the entire Northeast. We believe this split will be beneficial to both new nations, especially to the people of the new country of New California.

To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states. We get stem cell research, the best beaches, and the Statue of Liberty. You get Dollywood. We get Intel and Microsoft. You get Enron and WorldCom. We get Harvard. You get Ole’ Miss. We get 85 percent of America’s venture capital and entrepreneurs. You get Alabama. We get two-thirds of the tax revenue which means you get to make the red states pay their fair share.

Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22 percent lower than the Christian Coalition’s, we get a bunch of happy families. You get a bunch of single moms. Please be aware that Nuevo California will be pro-choice and anti-war. Accordingly, we expect all our citizens to return from Iraq at once. If you still need people to fight, just go ask your evangelicals. They seem to be willing to send to their kids to their deaths for no purpose, and they do not care if you refuse to show pictures of the caskets coming home. We do wish you success in Iraq, and we do hope that the WMDs turn up, but we are no longer willing to spend our resources in Bush’s Quagmire.
