Brass,

So you will hold others up to this same standard as well as me and you will also be held accountable to your words?

You are under the mistaken impression we are negotiating, we're not. Nevermind the others and pay attention to your own conduct and messages.

Conduct and messages includes posting off topic quotes/links etc. in order to derail a topic.

sharon, no one has posted this, I think, but you are not going to have an easy time of finding a UW because very few would be open to living in Israel.

Unless you own marriage agency ;D

Now that is very simple. It is like; when a not so beautiful girl seems to not like a very beautiful girl. They are just jealous, like silly girls.  :nod:

Brass has been accused of liking Americans too much in other threads.

Brass can do that.

Illiteracy is epidemic in America. People who can't express themself clearly through the written word often give the impression of tactlessness. To give you an idea of the magnitude of the problem, those Americans who post here are generally above average.

Yep,

         25 year age gap,she was 18 when they met.A big no no for the "experts" on here.

They met at a AFA social.Another big no no for the "experts" on here.

Well,they've been married 5 years now,and seem happy enough together,so i guess miracles can happen. :)

Mark does actually participate on the other main forum.

I was trying to leave this man's name out of it....but this is the posting.

OK I am a simpleton so please clear this up. Chelseaboy is a screen name of a member who made a post.  All members know when posting they may be quoted. How exactly is that pulling a "man's name" into anything?
You stated that Anna was 17 when they met.  This post says 18.
Are you talking about something completely different or making some other point?

When you find time between laundry loads......

OK, I honestly didn't think you were this weak in character, all differences of opinion aside.  You made a statement where a commercial member approached a lady prior to reaching the age of consent.  Do you not see the damage of such a statement?  You occasionally appear to have the ability to apply logic where it suits your agenda.
You hid behind your woman, your son, the PM system and now your nationality.  This for me, and IMHO, based on the range of nationalities who have posted thus far, has nothing to do with being American.  It has everything to do with a silly unsubstantiated post.

You made an error.  Are you a mouse or a man?  Time to man up.

Welder, age of consent is a moveable feast. In most of Europe, for example, it is 16 but in Spain is is 13. In the US it is between 16 and 18.
In the end it is a number. There is no magic that happens on a given date that changes a person's mind or body.

Now, I may agree with you about whether a thing is right or not but the chances are that the folk in question were not acting in any manner illegally in the place time and context in which they found themselves. The issue is much more likely to be about power and control than right/wrong, legal/illegal and that is an issue that we are too far divorced from. The woman's family were, it'd seem, OK with how things went and they were likley best placed to support their child in whatever manner they saw as being best.

Your posts are becoming increasingly delusional in nature and harder to answer in any meaningful way.

However, if you believe the premise of my messages to you are based in wanting to tell you about your girlfriend or dislike for Americans then it further reinforces my original observation you have a tendency towards creating confrontation/fantasy in your mind where it does not exist.

If not, then you are trolling.

PM reply from a member here "People from other countries don't give a damn what YOU think that the norm should be because they are sick to death of the U.S. trying to impose their standards on the rest of the world "

In the future I promise not to impose my standards on the rest of the world, as long as it does not involve a 50 year old man chasing after a 18 year old girl.  tiphat

I leave tomorrow evening to spend 10 days with the best lady and mother I have met.

Marriage between two people with 50 year age difference has occurred.  While not widespread, it HAS occurred.
