[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3295448, member: 24302"] Did you know that the largest Social Security office in the world outside the U.S. is attached to the U.S. embassy in Manila? If one parent is an American then the child is an American too and entitled to benefits if American parent is past SS retirement age. American men and many others have married young women in the Philippines for generations. It's not something forced, in their culture a young woman's first priority is can he take care of me, and a close second is can he help my family. Young ADULT women routinely marry older Filipino men for the same reason. It's not considered immoral or taboo there for a man in his 60's or 70's to marry a 19 year old. And rather than going into it kicking and screaming the young women feel like they've won the lottery landing a Westerner. The country has a 70% poverty rate, with 110,000,000 packed into an area slightly larger than Arizona. And their culture places not only a huge value on women taking care of their husbands but on being a virgin at time of marriage too. Many a young single mother that Filipino men wouldn't consider for marriage has been rescued by foreign men of age. What's immoral is the judgement placed on such marriages by Westerners who think the height of fulfillment is young hot bodies having sex. And have a 50% divorce rate, 75% amongst first marriages(when they were young and attractive but found they weren't compatible). As for you bringing it up, as well as the original poster, it's to attack me because you don't like something else I posted. Smear the messenger. Frankly I thought you were above such things but everyone has their sacred cow that must not be touched. [/QUOTE]
