S'all good if you feel you need to, but be assured that I will always keep it civil and mannerly. I'm over internet flame wars. They're so aughties.

Me too.

Fuck that...I'm diggin' for platinum!

RodeoSchro said:

Yes. The court, with a judge presiding, will hear evidence and make a decision regarding all of the above.

DesireeNevermind said:

Shooooot. $750 million should qualify as a new metal altogether. What was that mess in Avatar? Unobtanium?


Keep in mind we just funnin' here. Elin deserves something and Tiger clearly messed up. I just think that amount is insane.

Cerebus said:

Don't 'need' to ...just fruitless to keep going over and over the same thing with the same responses. We won't know anything until this is over and done which will probably be none too soon. I still say Tiger is the skank ho. Funny how men who cheat suddenly become sex addicts who need rehab.

Cerebus said:

Betcha she will end up with $110-138 million, a couple houses, and full custody of the kids. Oh and she will probably have a gag order that expires in 7-10 years.

noimageatall said:

and women who cheat are just low down dirty skanks. amazing.


if a man is fornicating with a woman (sexin' a chick not his wife) and the woman is by virtue of said fornication a skank ho, then doesn't that also make the dude a skank ho? guilt by association?

noimageatall said:

What man isn't a sex addict? I admit to it, and I don't need no fucking rehab, either.

I don't think making him pay as a way of revenge makes her a gold digger, it makes her a bitch and just as bad as he is. If that's what she is doing, of course, I have no idea...but unfortunately this happens a lot when people get hurt.

But on the other hand, if they stayed together..he probably would be spending this much (or at least a hell of a lot) on his kids anyway...so not sure what the big deal is. Either way, he'd be spending the money.

I think dudes need to start getting over their anger at actually being forced to give their ex wives the money for their kids.

I know in my case, my son's father hates to pay child support simply because it's giving some kind of power to me (in his wee little mind) and he is not thinking about his son at all...seriously, that's fucked up. You're only giving it to me because I'm the one that is caring (alone) for our kid, you fucking moron.

JustErin said:

And if he's not even trying to be in the kid's life then he should be relieved that a lil money is all that's required of him.



I still don't feel sorry for Tiger in any way. He knew what was going to happen as it's happened many times before to other prominent people. You play with fire and you get burned. You renig on a contract and you owe the other party. That shit is older than Methuselah

JustErin said:

See, that is fucked up. Regular people and paying support is massively different than golddigging in general. I don't believe in ruining a man's life because he's supposed to be responsible for a child. Women have the ultimate say on whether to be mothers or not and share as much responsibility for raising their own kids.

You should get your support but if you were using it to gamble, do your nails, get bigger boobs and crap like that then

Funny how somebody who was leaving still felt they needed to get the last jab in on the way out the door. It is, again, the point I'm trying to make regarding the difference in reactions to this sort of behavior.

First of all, Tiger isn't "men". Tiger is Tiger. However, Tiger didn't just "cheat". Dude went back to the cheat buffet for like, fourth and fifth helpings. If he had cheated on her one time, or even with one woman, I don't think this story would have been such a big deal to begin with. And I certainly don't think that he would be going to counseling claiming he's a "sex addict". Second, unfortunately for the people who are trying to salvage and/or remake his image, I don't think ANYBODY believes that he IS a sex addict. I think most people believe that he took advantage of his stature (money and perceived power) to get his sex on. The rest think, well, I'm not really sure what they think. Which is why I will never get married. All seems to keep coming back to that point, for me.

You really think that taking half even if it = 750 million is ruining a man's life???

If the court has ordered a man to pay child support and they aren't doing so then they're a deadbeat dad, period. I don't even care what the mother does with the money. That's another issue (and discussion) altogether and that falls on HER conscience. If you have been ordered to pay child support, man up and handle your business. If for no other reason than the fact that you'll be able to tell your children, when they're old enough to understand such concepts, that you followed through on your responsibilities.

JustErin said:

Well it's the broader point that he worked her his fortune and giving a piece of ass doesn't merit her not working a day in her life and inheriting a fortune. I hope Tiger fights tooth and nail to keep her from getting a ridiculous golden egg.

JustErin said:

I'm actually supporting where you are coming from... I think. But if you really think taking 3/4 of any PERSONS net worth in a divorce is fair, well, we're going to disagree on that. And yes, it could certainly ruin someone as most people who are that wealthy don't have liquid assets. In order to obtain that much cash Tiger's entire life will have to be taken apart and sold piece by piece.

Reason 761 not to get married.....

noimageatall said:

Even if she didn't cheat, even if she was the perfect wife and mother (yeah, right) that doesn't and shouldn't entitle her to $750 million merely because he earned it.
I don't think her lawyers can be awarded a percentage (it can't be an uncapped contingency), it's going to be a flat fee, so they aren't chasing millions.
I say it can't be an uncapped percentage because if part of it is child support, they are taking food out of the children's mouths by claiming a percentage.

Men have zero reasons to get married. None.

Cerebus said:

Well stated...except Tiger went back to the cheat buffet like 24 times or something.


Why be scared of marriage? Be scared of marrying the wrong person. That's what it boils down to IMO. Tiger and Elin were not right for each other and married for reasons other than love. He wanted a barbie he could control and who would help fulfill his down to earth/conservative/non-threatening image and she wanted a man to provide her comfortable living. Somewhere along the lines he stopped believing in the image and she realized that a comfortable living often comes with a price. The sooner these two are busted up the better. I feel sorry for their kids.

DesireeNevermind said:

How does it stay in the family? Nothing says her children will inherit the money she gets from Tiger . . . .

DesireeNevermind said:

So we should go back to the days when women were chattel?
And it's sexist to say that men make all the laws isn't it?
But because it's male bashing, others will remain silent.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Dude, seriously...he's paying child support and in my opinion that's all he should pay. I've never really understood alimony - or at least anything long term.

And she gave him more than ass, she helped to give him children.

When you are a parent, your income mostly goes to your kids, that's just the way it is. Any parent knows this. And just because your relationship ended with the other parent, doesn't mean that your should now get a better deal than what you had before when it comes to providing for your kids.

Stop saying she is inheriting it, his kids are and yes, being as she is caring for them, she does get to reap the benefits of it, until they can take care of themselves. It's really not a difficult thing to understand.

And one other thing, in my case...the child support that I receive from my son's father doesn't even cover paying my son's portion of the rent...so these comments about getting nails done and shit is pathetic. I really don't think my situation is much different than the millions of single parents out there.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Neither do women.

JustErin said:

It's not very different than the millions of women but I've known tons of women who were party central with the man's money. Too many single moms struggling and that aint right, but in your man stealing case....

listen, just because your trap didn't work, don't hate!
