Divorces Online... GAG ME

So I'm at work and I'm looking up legal support services online for the company i'm working for and I found a business where you can get divorced online...

"People are getting smarter nowadays; they are letting lawyers, instead of their conscience, be their guide." - Will Rogers

First off, whoever Will Rogers is-- he is crazy insane. Maybe people's consciences are wrong at times, but he is just insinuating that we should lose all faith in ourselves. That quote made me puke in my mouth a little bit. I've never been through any kind of legal matter except for my parent's divorce and even then, I was too young to understand. Nevertheless, I'd hope that my self confidence when going through a tough, legally binding situation would be strong enough to not have to rely on lawyers in order to make me think i'll have a clear conscience. I know that it's hard. I've seen divorce happen to so many people around me to know what kind of hardships coincide with separation. However, I think relying on lawyers wholly and not even a bit on your own heart and mind is a crime in itself. You're screaming 'MERCY!' before you even grabbed your opponent's hand.

Now, I don't know about you but all of this online and cell phones and crap is really making me lose faith in the fact that two people can love each other forever. I mean... how do we make things work when most of the communication between couples or people in general is done by myspace and text messages? What happened to sitting or standing in front of people and speaking to them face to face? Am I completely prehistoric to say that all of this technology is making us become impersonal persons? We have it so easy now that we're losing our worth, the deepest thing that make us human. We're losing the human connection. To get a phone call from that special someone is now the equivalent of holding hands. When did that happen? I don't like it.

All this to say, I don't want to divorce... and if I did, I wouldn't be a coward and do it online. Too impersonal.

From now on i'm going to try to spend more time with people face to face rather than on the phone.

Screw you Will Rogers. Maybe you should have listened to your heart a little more. I'm pretty sure it'll tell you to shut up.

Fortunately for you Will Rogers has been dead for about 73 years...but I totally agree with what you're saying. People really disgust me...more so than ever before.
