My guess is that there was another woman in his life the whole time and he finally had to make a decision between the hand in the bird or the bird in the bush.
Actually it's what the entire Western World is about.
Politics is just a charade. The west is run by an interlinking global corporatocracy.
And that corporate junta is controlled by means of private, non-government secret organizations who dictate national policy to shills in the political system.
So the government doesn't regulate big business. It's the other way around.
No politician can ever win against a CFR sponsored candidate. The CFR controls the existing government, the banks, the fed, the CIA, and the media and uses them in all sorts of corrupt ways.
The economic crash is all about rounding up all the nations into the rising global system controlled by the already rich and powerful.
Here in Southeastern France it's sunny and nice out but there's an unpleasantly chilly wind. Probably about 60° F. Not bad for this time of year but I can't wait for some real warmth.
Does the smoking ban in public places go against human rights? Do you think it takes away freedom of choice?
No. In fact the ban restores people's human right to breath air without having to participate in someone else's smoking habit.
It's not like the air is all that clean to start with, but cigarette smoke makes it a lot worse. I remember times when I could hardly breathe in restaurants and bars.
Any imbalance due to male deaths at that time would only involve the male/female ratio of people in their 70s or more now.
Since that time, theoretically, there should have been about the same number of males and females born.
So if there is that great an imbalance in the people of dating age now, it means there has to be another cause, very probably a cultural preference for male children.
I think the imbalance stems from the tradition of demanding very large dowries. That makes having boys an asset and girls an expensive liability, so female babies are often aborted. That's a real bummer. Something to militate against.
People who spend time on kibbutzes, or in other cult-type closed environments (army, religious orders, political cults, situations), systematically end up highly deluded and incapable of thinking rationally.
The brainwashing techniques involved are surprisingly simple.
Cut people off from the external world, surround them with friendly enthusiastic people who are already CULTivated, bombard them with friendliness, bombard them with dogma, keep them too busy to reflect, convince them that the group represents a special elite. etc etc etc.
After a few months of such mental manipulation, they will have internalized the cult worldview and will automatically reject anything that doesn't conform to that worldview.
That's the basic process for instilling delusion.
For a better explanation of the process, see the link below.
They aren't likely to do that. Probably they will just make it a lot harder for foreign mates to get residence in the US. That will certainly have the "effect" of curtailing intercontinental marriages abroad. What it amounts to is separating the concepts of marriage and immigration. Marriage will no longer constiture a free ticket for immigration. The result will be that if the couple meets abroad and marries, they will have to live abroad. If they meet in the states and marry, they will live in the states. It's not so bad really because it will prevent the very real problem of those who only want to marry an American for the greencard.
I think the economy is going to accomplish the same thing without any need for legislation. Once the depression really sets in, the US will not be nearly as attractive as previously.
If people are going to be broke, homeless, and unemployed anyway, they'll prefer to be among their own culture than in America where they will be increasingly despised as the economy worsens.
I don't think very many men travel overseas just to look for a wife. But if they are living in a foreign country for their job, or study, or for the adventure or whatever, it's only norman that their love life is going to involve foreign women. It's certainly not the guys who don't travel who are going to marry foreign women. It's those who are there in those foreign countries.
RE: Question: After getting along so well online - what makes a guy drop off from the face of the earth?
All that and,Some people flirt with several "potentials" at the same time, comparing all the parameters, looking for the "best deal".
They will inevitably end up dropping most of the ones they have been flirting with as they shorten their list.
Personally I think that method sucks because it wastes other people's time and hurts them.
