We need a Const. Amend, banning ALCOHOL - it threatens more marriages
than anything else.

We need a Constitutional Amendment banning women in the workplace - they threaten more marriages than anyone else.

We need a Constitutional Amendment banning business trips - they threaten more marriages than people can admit.

1. Republicans are the ones who most often cheat on their spouses...
...so we need to ban Republicans too.

I suggest we burn them all as witches.

7. Oh, and they don't just cheat they add a good measure of cruelty..........
.....by doing stuff like Nitwit Gingrich did walking into his wife's hospital room the day after major surgery and announcing he wants a divorce. Sweet Born Again Christian guy there.:puke:

13. yep - think of the guys coming up with the idea that a woman who had a
child is somehow dirty so we have to invent the idea that virgins are somehow cleaner and holier. Men and their "madonna" complexes - too afraid of real women.

An insult to any woman who ever bore a child.

4. See, and I was thinking guns
Nothing ends a marriage faster than intimate homicide.

If the NeoCons get their way, the only Amendments still standing will be the 2nd, the 5th and 21st.

11. True. Guns have a way of ending marriages permanently.
Heck - divorced people can get remarried.

5. How about a Ban on Pollution?
That is a bigger threat to EVERYBODY. Their issue is so weak... we could tear it apart all day long.

18. No kidding.
It really could be an endless thread if we weren't so tired and disgusted by the whole tactic.

8. Well, we HAD that alcohol amendment. The Volstad Act.
Edited on Tue Jun-06-06 12:30 PM by Jackpine Radical
Worked out real well too. Just ask the shade of Al Capone. I just have no idea why we repealed it.

17. Don't forget that we must ban the flagrant exposure of female flesh
in public - it breaks up more marriages than Playboy

And cosmetic surgery, don't forget cosmetic surgery - it only serves to tempt us to sin!
