Erikse Posted September 11, 2024 Share Posted September 11, 2024 (edited) Haaland has the same goal ratio for Norway as he has at Man City. About the same ratio at Dortmund aswell. But sure, he only scores so much because he is getting the best service at Man City. Norwegian national team is such a luxury!

Interpolic Posted September 11, 2024 Share Posted September 11, 2024 1 minute ago, Erikse said: What child needs 1 mill euros in maintenance? And do you think all that money will be used on the child? It's alimony, so separate from child support I believe. When you get married you are effectively agreeing to share your wealth with your spouse, with the spouse often sacrificing their own career to take up other responsibilities in the marriage. I assume they had a certain lifestyle when married, she shouldn't be asked to give it all up while he keeps his money. It amazes me how many people are so keen to get outraged on behalf of mega-wealthy people they don't know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erikse Posted September 11, 2024 Share Posted September 11, 2024 Just now, El Prontonise said: Because the child has a father with a lot of money that's why. Ah, right, my bad. I forgot that if your ex husband is a rich guy, that automatically means that your child will cost you more than a million euros to maintain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was, I never feel sorry for rich people having to spend money, but that is a straw man argument. It's not about a rich guy having to spend money. It's the idea that having been married to a rich guy all of a sudden makes you entitled to money that most could ever dream of after the divorce. I could make the same straw man argument. Why would you feel sorry for someone in that situation? Poor woman who is still probably still wealthy and want to have even more luxury, I suppose! I'm sure she's really struggling to make ends meet unless she gets a million euros. Edited September 11, 2024 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And didn't hear a single good argument as to why this should be the case, other than to not feel sorry for the even richer person.
