Welcome! My name is Markis Landis Gardner and I work for www.adreamforbetterworld.com, the first educational website dedicated to fighting atrocities in the world. While today’s video is meant to be stupid and funny, the topic is not funny. It is my hope that we can change this atrocity in America. This series of videos, what is wrong with America, is aimed at trying to bring to light some of the atrocities at home that affects everyone.
Today’s video, divorces; what a disgrace in the American justice system. Question; why are we talking about divorces? I want you to hear it first. I am marrying Tina Turner. That is right, music sensation Tina Turner marries a common man, me; Markis Gardner. I couldn’t be happier. Hey! Why wouldn’t she want me? Take a look at me, nice personality, handsome and look at this physic, take a look at this 100% grade A quality fat, I mean me for Tina Turner, why wouldn’t she want a man like me.
I can give her what she wants. She is my kind of women. She says, she likes it nice and rough. You don’t believe me, listen to her say it for herself. Oh my! That just gives me the chills, this is a match made in heaven. There are three possible outcomes to this match made in heaven. Possibility #1, we live happily ever after. This is the way marriage is suppose to work, right. I love her and she loves me, and boy, does she loves me.
Oh man! Tina just can't keep her hands off me. We work together on any obstacles and lived happily ever after, especially since I am the loving master. Possibility #2, after a great night of loving, she crawls up to my face and she whispers to me, “Honey! I love you, but you are just too much man for me.
When we got married, I thought you said you like it seven times a week, I did not know you meant seven times a day, seven days a week. This is just killing me, I love your wonderful loving so much but my work is suffering, I had to cancel three shows this month alone because I was too tired to perform. I have to ask for divorce or my work will continue to suffer. I am sorry, honey.”
Breaking news! Tina Turner says goodbye to the loving monster, Markis Gardner, for being too good. That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, can you believe it, Tina Turner left me? Me! How is that possible? She left me for being too good. Now I am not going to stand their and take it. No sir, you know what am I going say to her, I am going to say the same immortal words that Eddie Murphy said in his comedy program, I want half.
Oh yes, I worked hard to please her, I am definitely worth half. Since she has worth almost one billion dollars, I get $500 million plus I am sure she will have to provide me a nice standard of living allowance, to help me live the style of life I got used to while I was with her. Oh boy! I love those words from her now, I want a divorce. Those four lovely words just gave me $500 million.
Wow! I wish all words worth so much, just let me say it one more time, I can't help myself, I want half. Oh yes! I want half, half, half. Oh boy! I am so happy, I got half. Possibility #3, I am out one day and I have seen some hot young chicks, I start to think, “Wow! Too bad I am married, I could have them, they are hot, but I won't cheat on Tina, I can't leave her. She offers me so much; great loving, a nice home, lots of fame being her man, especially now that everyone knows I am the loving machine.”
Now what possible reason is there for me to divorce Tina? Just to get other girls? No, it is not worth it. Tina gives it to me nice and rough. I am very happy with her, plus there are consequences to a divorce. I would lose everything, but oh wait just a minute, I forgot one thing, I get half. All I got to say is that there were irreconcilable differences or tape record her on one of her bad days and lie to the judge saying this is how she yells at me each day and I am sure I can get more than half. Fool out America, only in America can you exaggerate the truth in court and get more than half.
Isn’t America wonderful! Okay, time to get serious. We always hear about stars getting divorced and having to pay multi-million dollar settlements and sometimes we laugh. But it is no laughing matter, I am sorry but no one is worth half. I mean if Tina did marry me and divorced me, what right would I have to have of her state. I should just give privilege that I got to share in a star's life for however long I did.
The very idea that I should get half and she shared to pay for a high life living for me is preposterous. Even if I gave up my life and it would be hard for me to find a job, even if I did not work for so many years because I was with her, I should still not be crying for $500 million, half of her net worth. May be a respectable loss of salary for me for two to four years, while I learned enough to get a good job, but half of her state?
Now this does not just go for the rich and famous, what about the middle class? Why should a man give half of his retirement savings to his wife, when they divorce? Why isn’t that protected? Why should she automatically get the kids? Most states in America do not believe in joint custody which forces one parent to only see the children four days a month. Most states almost always give their kids to the mother automatically.
This is why there were groups out there like FAPT, Fathers Are Parents Too, because they recognized that divorces are not fair to America. By automatically giving the children to the mother, this gives her the excellent opportunity to say, I will stay at home with the kids, and then the father must pay more child support, as his salary is much larger now than the mother's.
By practically guaranteeing that the mother can stay home with the kids and receive lots of child support, this offers no reason to stay together. Why should she even try to stay with her husband when she will be given a luxurious life? Is this why the divorce rate is so high in America? Oh! Things are getting a little tough. If I get out now, I get the kids and I get a nice child support payment. There seems to be no reason for the couple to stay together. Now if joint custody or even split custody, one child one parent and the other child the other parent, was possible then I think they would work harder at a marriage.
Divorce laws need a lot of work. First, separation of property and assets, come on, no one is worth half, especially if one was a lot richer than the other. Second, fathers are parents too. If a good father wants equal time with his children then that should be allowed. Third, imagine a man tells his wife, I want a new career, this one is too stressful for me. I know it will be a lot less pay, but I will be happier and healthier and eventually, I'll make more money.
All she has to do is file for divorce immediately and he will be forced to pay child support based on his higher salary, even if he gets a new job because he has potential to earn more. Come on! This is purely ridiculous. My goal, I hope that people can fight these terrible divorce laws and get something that is fair for everyone. What should you do?
