Well if Michael Douglas is going to preach that greed is good, then he should cop this…  Now i want him to tell us again just how good greed is…

Her conduct is shameless. She doesn’t ‘need’ any more than she has already received. Women should stop perpetuating the myth that we’re poor defenceless little lambs who can’t take care of ourselves - it’s crap. I find her behaviour absolutely disgusting.

If a relationship breaks down, the property/cash/assets/debts accrued during the marriage should be split 50:50. Nil ongoing spousal support (save in very very limited cases - otherwise, get a job, everyone else has one!). Compusory support payments (garnished from wages if necessary similar to ATO payment plans) for all children of the marriage to be made by both parents and paid directly into trust administered by an independent guardian for the child, until the age of 18 (as a minimum or later as agreed between the parties).

I reckon that a rational person might well say come on now Lucy, Diandra the Digger has got her cue on where the latest pay dirt is.
Like it’s a bit far fetched to even call a film a sequel when it has been motivated by a different set of events 20 years on but then anything could happen in the US and perhaps that was Mickeys first mistake, well lets say his second or third.
But bettcha your last $$$ that some smart arse gold digging lawyer has got into her ear if not elsewhere and said just putting it out there will get us a few easy million.
But she did care and nurture the fella through some torrid times I imagine even if she had fallen out of love, so you could argue that a good woman behind a man has helped shape his future some.
And if he’d loaded, why not share the wealth about a bit and the greater sharing, the quicker it’ll filter back into the economy in a broader manner.
