*Sigh*
Are people stupid? Is that just it?
Alas, I'm at work today and consoled myself by reading the news on Yahoo. The first two stories that caught my eye were:
1) Are Virtual Girlfriends/Wives cheating? Basically, a married man is spending all his time online in Second Life with the woman he proposed to and married ingame.
This might make me unpopular, but yeah, it's cheating, IMO. YES, it's just a game, but he's spending more time online with the other player and ignoring his wife. How is that not cheating? I don't care if it's pixels and virtual money and property. The emotions are real. Anytime something else becomes more important than wife and family, it's cheating. Like Chris Rock says, you've gotta be into the same stuff or it just won't work.
The RL wife needs to stand up for herself and set her man straight, or put him on the road.
2) Man sues flower company for exposing his affair: 'Nuff said - the flower company sent a 'Thank you for your business' card to his house, his wife found it and he's busted. They had previously been in the process of a divorce, reconciled and then she found him out and continued the divorce proceedings. He blamed the flower company.
I guess this comes from people needing to blame something other than themselves when they get caught doing something they shouldn't be doing.
Hi, YOU'RE CHEATING ON YOUR WIFE, DUMBASS. You're stupid. You got caught. You're twice as stupid. Next!
Is this where we are in society today?
