A politician in Germany wants marriages to last only 7 years - wouldn't she make a fine American liberal?
We American liberals want to destroy marriage too but we took the route of wanting anyone and anything to be able to wed regardless of gender and species. Gabriele wants to renegociate after 7 years. She has been divorced twice is probably the reason why. This would save her money on divorce lawyers.

Well that's stupid, what is she thinking most marriages don't even last that long. If she did her research she would that more then 50 percent of marriages end of in divorce anyways.
2 :
Sure, renew a marriage license like you do a drivers license.
3 :
No, if he were American he would want only gay marriage
4 :
There is no data to support that democrats have a higher rate of divorce than republicans. All republican front runners for '08 have admitted to adultery and have had at least one divorce in their pasts.
5 :
Why yes she would. As would these "people"... October 26th, 2006 Achtung! Germany drags homeschool kids to class News – A Nazi-era law requiring all children to attend public school, to avoid "the emergence of parallel societies based on separate philosophical convictions" that could be taught by parents at home apparently is triggering a Nazi-like response from police. Children have been forcibly hauled to public school.

That would mean that first marriages in the US would last three years longer than they currently do,since the average length of a first marriage in the US is about 4 years. In fact it might not be such a bad idea for the US,make the marriage term 7 years,with no divorce being available until that 7 year point,then perhaps we wouldn't have everyone getting divorced after 2 or 3 years because of what should have been nothing more than a rough patch as it were. It's way too easy to get divorced right now,so many marriages end at a few years over some minor bad time,that previous generations would have worked through and then went on with the next 40 to 50 years of their marriage.

No, she rather would make a universal realist. And perhaps even help married people getting serious. It is marriage, a secular thing unlike matrimony. You should stay closer to the issue instead of pointlessly speculating about her intentions. I think - every five years a reality check is not bad.
8 :
How many Republicans got divorced again? Hmmmm, I believe....6, correct me if I'm wrong. Democrats- 0
9 :
While I don't think this is a good idea, I don't see why it couldn't be considered. 50% of marriages end in divorce anyway, so maybe a way out without a messy fight would make sense for some people. Maybe for anyone 21 and below you can only get a 7 year or less marriage, and then after that you can go for a regular lifetime contract. That might actually lower the overall divorce rate...
10 :
Why 7 long years.Make it a part of yearly renewal like a house mortgage.Germans be screwed.
11 :
Gulianni would embrace that idea wholeheartedly. These republican high and mightys always have the sancity of marriage in mind But when a democrat DOESN'T GET A DIVORCE shes weak? Or when a wife sticks up for her husband ---he's weak? Gee no wonder the gays are trying to "destroy marriage" I mean, if its going to be that the only "good" marriages are the ones between hypocrites, who needs them ?
12 :
This justs show how dumb you Americans are about Europe. She is a member of the conservative Christian CSU party. She simply wants to make it easier for divorces to go through the courts. It has nothing to do with putting a time limit on marriages. Simply put, if after 7 of of marriage the relationship is not working there will be a means in law to break the relationship without the usual divorce proceedings. Here is the article in german but I don't expect that the average American can actually speak another language - I mean they have enough trouble with English http://archiv.mopo.de/archiv/2007/20070920/plan7/musik/pauli_sieht_unterstuetzung_fuer_forderung_nach_ehe_auf_zeit.html
13 :
She forms part of a Christian conservative party. She is a politician from Bavaria! Over 90% of its people are Roman Catholic. Why does it seem that more politicians on the Republican side have gone through more divorces?

Where are some good place to travel to in Germany?
Where are some good place to travel to in Germany?
We are stationed in Darmstadt, Germany, about 20 minutes from Frankfurt. My husband will be coming home from Iraq in January and has left me with the vacation planning and I have no idea what to do. We have a 5 yr. old and 3 yr. old so I need something that they would enjoy as well but the vacation needs to be something nice for him since he would have been in the desert for 15 months by the time he gets home. We are military so we are tight on money but I have been setting some aside. We have been to the Edelwiess lodge in Garmich during the summer months and I am thinking of us going back there to learn how to ski but wanted to see if anyone had any other GREAT ideas. Sorry to make this so long. Thanks for any help.

Im going to study in Germany. Im in desperate need of scholarship money or grants (loans too) PLEASE help.?
Im going to study in Germany. Im in desperate need of scholarship money or grants (loans too) PLEASE help.?
Im really putting my heart ans soul out here. Im trying to find all the money I can to put myself into college. But its not any college I want, I want to be an international student in Germany. I speak german and wish to go to one specific college. The Goethe Universität in Frankfurt, Germany. Ive searched every end of the internet for scholarships and grants and competitions. I have a fastweb a zinch a scholarshippoints account and many more. They are are great, but my chance of getting something is very slim. I didnt want to resort to a student loan, but I finally made the decision that I should do it and ease my financial worries. I have no credit and the only loan I could find is a non private loan (a federal loan like FAFSA) and this doesnt apply to me because im not going to a college in the USA. I cant get a private loan because no one will co-sign. Ive looked into the website of the college I want to attend and they dont offer any scholarships. Ive looked into loans in Germany also, but its not possible because of the co-signer thing also. The banks find me to be a risk and dont want to give me a loan because I would be a forgeiner. Im absolutely desperate to get money. I want this like Ive never wanted anything before. I have worked my ass off to try to even make this possible, and I thought that it was in reach. Does ANYone have any details or info, I would worship the groud that you walked on if you could help me in any way. Thank you very much

If you lived in Nazi Germany during WWII, what would you do?
If you lived in Nazi Germany during WWII, what would you do?
Would you play along with the establishment, and make as much money as you could? Would you pretend it was not so? Would you vocally protest and march? Would you fight Adolf's government and police though subversion?

I would like to say that I would have fought to the death to oppose the evils of fascism. But here we are with Obama in office, and what am I doing? Right, so I have to be honest and say I would have been silently opposed, and just stayed there and watched the horrors like everyone else.
2 :
None of the above, as a Jew, I would have been one of the first to be exterminated.
3 :
I would have had a family hiding in my attic and every other spot I could hide them.
4 :
I see the same thing coming here.............I do not know what I would do. I would NOT want that for him grown children or grandkids...........so I no doubt would be working underground in some capacity. Perhaps trying to help those the Nazi's were going after.
5 :
Most people would do exactly what the German people did .... Nothing.
6 :
Taking with me the facts accumulated through time.I will do what I suppose to do,till the last drop of my blood. But then again,its not an easy thing to comprehend whats going on around you with a click of a finger.so I would probably be one of those dead meat.
