you can't really hate on Jon and Kate

Do we really need to hear anymore about parents who can't fight for their marriage? Even for the well-being of their kids? Their eight kids? This type of thing happens all around us these days. The last thing we need is to be reminded of it constantly in the news. Or maybe we do. Maybe it would be good for society, especially parents, to see the cruelty in our inability to TRY.

If you haven't already guessed, I'm speaking of the infamous Jon and Kate. While their situation has been looked down upon for a good while, they were actually booed at the FOX REALLY Awards. Will it get their attention? Most likely not. These days, we have all just become too self involved to really care about what others think. It's likely that the person thinking bad things about you has done the exact same thing. Hypocrite. I don't mean to sound so harsh, but really? If you're gonna boo, make sure you can. The divorce rate in the United States is 50 percent, most likely meaning that 1 in every 2 of the people that booed Jon and Kate have probably gone through a very similar situation. While not all of them may have had kids when they got divorced, it is likely a large number of them did.

I'm trying to make two points here. One. Maybe society should get a little glimpse of the slippery slope we are all heading towards. Two. You can't boo when half of America has done the exact same thing. It just goes to show that we really might need a wake up call. From Jon and Kate. ASAP.

Jon and Kate represent what society has come to. They are two people who were once in love, who decided to start a family, had some issues, and are now giving up. If two people can't even try with the whole country watching, then there seems to be no hope for the rest of us. Hopefully this isn't the case, but I'm convinced more so everyday. There is also no hope if we all act as hypocrites and criticize a situation that is only a publicized version of our own. There is something to be learned from their debacle, even if it is slightly sensationalized by the media. Maybe society will begin to remember that after having children, it's really not your life anymore, it's your children's. Whether people take this and use it towards their marriage and child-raising, or use it as birth control, it's their fish to fry. But fried it must be, because society as a whole will slip even further down that slope if the Jon and Kates out there don't straighten up and take some responsibility.
