Why am I considered a bigot if I feel that Westerners don't know what a marriage is, with their 50% divorce?

Well according this site of statistics, http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/peo_div_rat-people-divorce-rate it is no where near 50%, the highest rate is in the US and that is 4.95 people per 1000 divorce, hardly 50% of them at all. But who said you had to take any notice of anyone? A lot of the people giving you advice here have been married for many years, 27 in my case, but obviously we know nothign about marriage. I suppose that is because, unlike you, we don't wish to be abused in our marriage. Why do you continue ask the questions if you have no interest in anyone's answers?

Not necessarily. You are bigotted, however, if you think that ALL Westerners don't know what marriage is all about. Obviously, some do because many do not divorce.

What about the 50% that do stay married? Why are you only concentrating on the half that went wrong? Also, you have no idea why that 50% divorced. Are you saying that people should stay in an abusive marriage, or stay if their spouse is cheating all the time? You have a right to your point of view, but don't lump everyone into one group. There are many people that are married, have been married for a long time, and will stay married until they die. I take offense to you lumping my marriage along with those that have failed, instead of acknowledging that 50% of marriages do work.

Anon, yes, you are a bigot. Why? Not because of your views on marriage, but because you say this: "Everyone has a right to preserve their culture, whties too, along with Jews, blacks etc. I'm not lettign my kids marry whites. Get a loving person from your own culture, best solution" and this: "everyone should marry their own." and this: "why is it fine? i'm sorry to stereotype, but usually, when u marry indian guys, u face too much garbage form their families. i want a liberal life." I could go on, but why bother? Your mind is closed to anything but your own. Any proof shown to you that is contrary to your bigoted beliefs is dismissed out of hand. I've read your questions, answers, and comments. I can provide proof after proof of your bigotry and close-mindedness, but you will dismiss it, just as you will this.

So the 50% that don't divorce don't know what a marriage is? That is like saying that the 50% of humans who cannot bear babies don't know what children are. And 50% is the peak rate, in the USA. The West is much more than the USA. Many other western countries have much lower rates, but in your (yes) bigoted way you are tarring all countries with the one brush.

Because you're ignoring the 50% who DO NOT get divorced. You're painting all westerners with the same brush when clearly, it only applies to half of them. When we had this conversation before, you admitted that this was correct. Why have you changed your mind again? Were you only saying that to get me to shut up, or what?

50% do.

You're not a bigot; just misinformed.

In "western" countries, women have more rights, and thus are more empowered. More often in western countries women assert themselves. You may have to convince me though that men in any other culture are any more monogamous, because they probably are not. In Afghanistan perhaps, women may have to suffer with an unfaithful or abusive husband, in the U.S., they do not.
