First off lets explain a little about what is equitable when it comes to divorce.
When a couple decides to divorce, all marital property must be distributed between the two parties.
In most states, a practice known as “equitable distribution” is followed, meaning that the court attempts to distribute the property in a manner that is “fair and just”. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the property is distributed evenly, only that it is done in a way that is fair.
To do this, the court will consider a variety of factors, including the parties’ income, contributions to the marriage, the standard of living and even the potential for future income after the divorce is final.
Equitable distribution is designed to provide for the needs of both spouses as much as possible without worrying about splitting the property down the middle. But because there are so many variables, there is no set rule as to how your property might be divided.
When children are involved for example, the marital home is often awarded to the custodial spouse. In a community property state, this type of asset would likely be sold and the proceeds split evenly between the two parties. If the house were awarded to the custodial spouse, the non-custodial spouse would then likely receive other property and assets of a value equal to the home. Not so in equitable distribution.
Using this method of property distribution, the parties may or may not receive an equal share of the marital property. Rather than focusing on a half and half distribution, equitable distribution seeks to prevent either party from financial disaster after the divorce.
So, if one party makes considerably more than the other, the court would likely try to protect the lesser-earning spouse by awarding a larger portion of property and/or spousal support, believing that the wealthier spouse will have an easier time adjusting to a self-sufficient lifestyle than their lesser-earning counterpart.

So Basically i feel that if the parties want a divorce and their are minor children involved and the wife/woman is making less then or has been the sole parent , YES property monies and personal property should be divided fair and as equally as possible. Now ladies don't think you can go all gold digging on us hard working males. Divorce is a very difficult and sore topic for people. I've been divorced and it SUCKED. My ex-wife was trying to get me for alimony and their were no children involved, but because she didn't work the whole marriage and I supported her, she felt entitled to a payout. THANK GOD the JUDGE thought otherwise.

Should the federal government provide health care for all citizens who cannot afford their own?
Oh boy don't get me started on government and health care. I'm so opinionated on this subject. YES I do believe that the government should supply health care to individuals that can't afford their own. This is AMERICA, We need to look out for our fellow country men/women. To even think that all citizens don't have health care is ludicrous. I think that ALL AMERICANS HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUBSIDIZED HEALTH CARE to make it affordable to ALL U.S. CITIZENS! I don't believe the current system works because the insurance companies that provide our services main purpose is to make money, make a profit. It is not right that people are attempting to make a profit gambling with peoples lives and health treatments. Maybe another solution is to make all insurance companies non-profit.
Do certain children's toys create social or emotional or other problems?
This Is An ACTUAL PHOTO OF MY SON
Absolutely! Toys today play a huge impact on a child's development emotional and social development. Let me give you one example. Toy Guns! what in the fuck were toy makers thinking? That its OK for a child to play with a gun? it doesn't matter if its a toy gun or not. a gun represents violence, and for a child to possess this as a toy or real it instills upon them that gun play is OK and its "cool" to shoot people, animals etc. I mean come on. I'm a parent to a infant boy and I hope that I will never let him play with guns of any kind. Unless of course we go hunting, or a gun range or something relating to the responsible aspect of guns. by that time he will be big enough to know the difference between whats OK and whats not OK "right from wrong" It is my responsibility as a parent to teach him these things now and continue to raise him right.

Have the large salaries of professional athletes had a negative impact on the athletes or the sports?
Athletes and their huge salaries are greatly affecting the game today. Whether its baseball, football, or basketball, all sports are being changed. Some of these athletes think because they make the big dollars that their the team well I don't see any I's in team. Any game or sport takes more then one person to be successful, Some these major stars get EGO"S bigger then life and believe their entitled to big bucks and don't have to be team players. Bullshit first of all you should feel grateful to be able to play a sport that you enjoy and get paid to do! What a GOD given gift. Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for great athletes getting paid large, but please still be a team player, come to practice, training camps, and get along with your teammates. Sometimes I'd like to see a salary cap, but then I think that's not fair. because some athletes are so F ing good at what they do they sometimes do have an impact and wins and loses. There are players that could never have the abilities of some of these greats. Just to mention
