I think Jon and Kate are focusing to much on the kids and not there true feelings for eachother. I think them getting a divorce is not the answer to there problems. If counseling or other things they try dont work then divorce is the last solution. Every couple have there problems but divorce is never a good thing.

I agree with you. It seems that their entire focus is on their children and they are not considering each others feelings. I definitely agree that they should be required to participate in marital counseling before they are allowed to divorce. It should be mandatory when you have children. Hopefully, they can reconcile and be a happy family again.

I believe divorce is sometimes the best for certain people. These 2 might make better friends and get along better once they part. Happiness won’t come to them for a while though. Divorce is a bitch but sometimes necessary. They focus on their children because they don’t have the need to focus on themselves anymore. Jon is obviously miserable. Kate wants not to be alone at the cost of someone else’s misery. They both need time to reflect. I feel that Kate is always superficial, while Jon pretty much talks from the heart. The kids will be fine, people worry too much.

I hear so many comments accusing of this or that and others reasoning that the marriage can be saved. Everyone has their own very reasonable solution–according to themselves. One earlier commenter here said that Kate is unreasonable, overbearing and insensitive to her husbands needs. This begs the question . . .
Do you even know these people? I would bet thousands that you don’t and cover a lot more bets online too.
So please, can you tell me how it is that you can have all these special opinions when your knowledge is actually zero? Please do not expect to know these young people from watching the show. All TV shows, perhaps excepting nature shows and others that may be difficult to alter or administer, are well choreographed. If you had your money on the line would you chance any lost ratings if it might be in your power to sustain them? Having Kate become a bit of a controlling bitch almost assures the very highest number of viewers?
Frankly, that move alone would almost guarantee rating as good at the motorcycle show where the father threatens to kill both his sons at least once each week.
People love to hate. Yes they do! Do not think otherwise. Even the most devout religions are often filled with people ready and willing to perform full on clenched tooth, spittle spraying, red eyed, hate faced seething hatred against the “others” who are not following whatever religion they are. The best way to get people together is to point out an enemy. People will band in hate faster than in love. Think of the Taliban, solidly united in hate of the Infidels. They love nothing more than to rip the head from an Infidel. They love it so much, they choreograph even that!
If you do not consider them normal people, perhaps you have forgotten that the catholic church has committed atrocities that outweigh those of the Taliban by several centuries bloodletting in the name of hate. So have our grand and glorious ancestors– the wonderful Americans in America.
Then too, consider what we good folks did to the Indians who lived here before us but did not have our religion–the SAVAGES! Kill em”.
Yes, people love to hate. Nothing new, it’s still antelopes against the cougar, wildebeest against the lions, chimpanzees against each other. It’s natural. Keeps us together.
So, whadda ya think Binke? Has this has been setup? It’s a show with seriously gold ratings. So if this divorce is not planned, it is certainly one supremely fruititious event, deeply paved in real gold, and destined to make someone millions. .
But, yknow, because of the coverage, everybody wins big. This sure brought out the media, and th e internet spewed out the lines by the zillions. If it is not a choreographed/planned/rehearsed/ divorce, you can bet your bippy that every investor in the show, the producers, directors, camera people, even the best boy want that puppy to happen, so they can, after they run the separation thing dry, have a spectacular change of heart that will do almost the same thing, and out will come the media again, but not as good as the predetermined “Bitch” Kate did by her suburb acting as she filled the charts with the name of that show. It will always be the same. More ratings, more viewers, and for that advertisers must pay more money–and they gladly will as there is a direct connection between consumers presented the message and actual sales volume (providing the commercials are good, of course).
Hell, folks, it’s GREED town here.
Would you get a divorce for say, a million bucks? I would divorce my wife for about $40,000. Right now. Any takers?
We all have our prices. Mine and my wife’s is just a bit more realistic. That piece of paper, going into a fire, will not spoil our bubbly and cuddly love because we are newlyweds. We have only been married about 32 years. In time, I suppose we would take only ten grand to crack the vows and burn that ever binding love statement. We would be stronger in our love years from now anyway.
Gosh, is my wife a great lady!
Sorry, just happened to think of her. I absolutely know that sweet charmer I love to see across my coffee each morning could and would drop that wrinkled chunk of pressed tree trunk for a good used car, maybe even a neat motor scooter–and for sure if it was a nice new a Vespa. We would carry on as usual, just as we always had, and ride off in happiness, paper or not.
These days, with that script about meaningless, more and more intelligent parents are limiting the amount the teen-age daughter can spend on a first marriage to about six-hundred bucks American.
. . . or about the price from Texas to Las Vegas and back again. . . by bus.
Take care folks.
Everyone has their price. Don’t make your bets too soon folks, we may not have seen the last of this. . .
So with Jon and Kate lookin’ down the barrel of a cannon that shoots HUGE money, easy money, don’t you be foolish dear. You would be screaming at the writers to light that fuse yourself!
Americans are internationally respected for their amazing greed, horrible government, and the worlds most expensive and least concerned medical people. Why not put us on the list for our perfectly choreographed reality shows?
We have been leading the world in phony baloney for years, and this could make that title permanent.
