Some people might want to be warned, is the word "triggering"?

Frankly, the whole story is disgusting me, and I don't have any brainwashing in my past.

I think your stance makes a horribly oversimplified blanket statement. While I don't share your low opinion of divorce, I won't argue it with you. Your opinion is simply that--your opinion, and you are entitled to it.

However, I must point out that you use faulty logic in your hiring scenario. While it is understandable that you wouldn't want to hire a divorced person (when there was an equally good non-divorced person available) due to your opinion of divorce, you overlook the fact that typically one person initiates the divorce. The other party may not even believe in divorce, and often certainly doesn't want the divorce. It seems you wouldn't be allowed to ask if your possible employee initiated it or not, as you would intend to use that information in a discriminatory way.

A divorce is an event, and I agree that it's a bad event, but it doesn't make the participants bad people. Can you say which of my parents practiced "bad parenting" without knowing anything of our background or even who asked for the divorce and why?

Nevermind that. It's too argumentative.
