It's been revealed, can't think of a better word, that Romney has millions in "investments" in the Cayman Islands.

Of course Gingrich would say bringing up his affair is despicable. The man is scum enough to cheat on his wife while she's fighting off cancer, he doesn't want anything that makes him look bad being brought up.

He's not a decent person, he's one hell of a huge hypocrite. Spouting 'christian' and 'family' values while cheating on his own family.

Well, that was a terrible series of examples you gave there. Your failure to address the issues of commitment that are connected with marriage tells me you haven't been in many any serious relationships. It has nothing to do with the initial, first sight attractions you speak of.

All I'm saying is we do horrible things everyday.

Let's look at ourselves. What did we spend our last hundred dollars (of spare money after rent and food) on?

Probably junk food, computer games, basically entertainment stuff right.

Consider this. Every night when we go to sleep, 30,000 kids in Africa die of starvation. Malnutrition and diarrhea are huge issues.

And there are groups that allow you to sponsor children. Each child you sponsor is a child saved, right?

But what do we do? We live our lives and get by each day entertaining ourselves, doing stuff to please ourselves, to gratify ourselves.

Are we any better than someone who leaves his wife to die, when daily thousands of children are dying, yet instead of spending our money on them, we spend it on ourselves?

Let me play Devil's Advocate.

I think it's quite easy to be quick to judge - but what if you were put in his shoes?

I had a friend who was in a two year relationship. Then he got cancer and his girlfriend left him because he only had three years left to live (according to the doctors). Fact of the matter is, when you are faced with having to love someone who is of lower value, your attraction for them decreases.

If we were all saints, we would all be marrying people like this:

+ Show Spoiler +

Which girl did you masturbate over and want to date when you were in high school? I guarantee that 10 times out of 10 it was a hot chick. Nobody wants the fat and ugly chick.

Now we go on about how it's wrong for Gingrich to dump an older woman for a younger mistress. Well, I hope that if you feel that is ethically wrong, that you one day marry (if you're not already married) someone who no other guy wants. Because everybody wants to equally be loved. Yet we, by human nature, choose beauty over ugliness.

Say there are two women. One is 40 and has never been loved. Then there is a 20 year old chick who every guy wants to marry because she's fucking sexy enough to be a pornstar. Who are you going to choose?

Obviously, by purely ethical standards, it is unfair that the 60 year old has never even been kissed, simply because Jesus fucking Christ made her the way she is (physically), so you should choose her.

But are you going to do it? Fuck no.

And don't forget that the same thing happened with John Edwards.

So let's be honest here. It's easy to get on our high horses and condemn Gingrich for dumping an ugly ass wife for a relatively hotter one. But let's not pretend none of us would do the exact same thing, or are doing the exact same thing everyday. There are thousands of cancer patients out there but how many of us are selflessly sacrificing our lives going to visit them instead of playing SC?

As for Gingrich's 'Christian' values - if America wasn't so full of dumbass people who believed in fairy tales then their politicians wouldn't have to be pandering to such ridiculously retarded beliefs.

@Terry
So what I'm reading is if your marriage partner has something terrible happen to them, you should drop them right then and there or else you should have married the most repulsive person that can be found?

Makes sense.
