Ben Affleck is a fool

First of all, GROSS.

Thrust upon me today is the news that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are engaged.

Jennifer Lopez is a train wreck. She's only 52 and she has been married 3 times (divorced each time) and engaged who knows how many other times.

What the hell is Ben Affleck thinking? Not sure if they will end up getting married, but no way is this a "till death do we part" situation. What a fool.

Have some common sense its Hollywood. The celebs get married for status and money. If you are married nobody gives a crap except you and maybe your family. If Affleck and Lopez get married they will get paid $1,000,000+ a pop to go sit on some late night show and talk about all the BS so called cute garbage she does. Paris Hilton gets paid something like $500,000 or so to show up in Vegas and yell happy new year. Flagpole if you tried that outside of a bunch of boo's and beer bottles being thrown at you they would walk you off the stage in cuffs.

Well, like I said, this story was pushed to me despite not choosing celebrity news as an interest. I knew my initial post would create a firestorm of comments, and I felt like stirring that pot, so I did. You all stepped up as I knew you would. Doesn't mean you are all right though...because you aren't. Ben Affleck is a fool for wanting to marry her.

If you had a son who wanted to marry a thrice-divorced woman who had also been engaged at least two other times, would you think that was a good idea? I would not. Now, if my son wanted to do that, I wouldn't give him any unsolicited advice on that, but if he asked I would tell him what I thought. In the case of Affleck and Lopez, I announce my public disapproval. Why? I just wanted to.

Blah, blah, blah. You're weak, your man-card is cancelled.

Well, Jennifer Lopez should never marry again...3 strikes and you're out. Affleck doesn't have the train-wreck past that Lopez does, so I'm not willing to say he shouldn't ever get married again. It is tougher for ANYONE who is an alcoholic, but he hasn't shown himself to be incapable of marriage just yet. He just shouldn't marry that mess that is Jennifer Lopez.

Who are you to say who should and should not get married? Who are you to define marriage for everyone else?

You don't want to marry someone because of their past, then go right ahead. I'm pretty sure Ben Afflect can make that same choice for himself. And guess what, unlike you, he actually knows Jennifer Lopez. He might actually be better able to just her character than you are.

You can easily look at Ben Affleck's past (which, of course, we only know of via the media and must be taken with a grain of salt) and wonder what the heck Jennifer Lopez is thinking of. He's been accused of inappropriate behavior, been in re-hab several times, said some pretty bad things about his ex-wife, and has had lots of relationships in his 49 years.

Frankly, your rants seem more than a bit misogynistic.

1) I am morally superior. That is clear, so that's who I am to comment on this.

2) Ben Affleck is not better able to judge the character of Jennifer Lopez than I am, otherwise he would not touch her with a 10-foot pole. This marriage will either never happen or it will end in divorce (unless one of them has an untimely death).

3) I've already explained the difference between the two of them. Affleck has had ONE failed marriage. I don't care so much about relationships that don't progress to marriage. Lopez has had THREE failed marriages plus two other engagements that didn't get to the alter...so 5 engagements total, NOT including this current one to Affleck, so 6 if we count this one. BIG difference. One marriage that fails...ok. Three that fail before she was even 45? Something ain't right. Not misogynistic. She's a train wreck.
