You mean who kept their marriage vows?
I know of only one guy. The rest are probably lying.

Being an equal opportunity giver, the obscure youth that is somewhere deep down inside me is full of envy. 
Of course, he hasn't recently experienced the luxury of vocalizing the shame that accompanies the transgressors who are exposed in that
playground.  It hardly (perhaps a poor choice of a word) seems fair. 
Alas (to borrow a Leonard Cohen line), "I ache in all the places where I used to play".

As far as the women not being guilty and it's all Tiger's sins.....
There's this little book that's been in print for a couple hundred years, most have heard about it, and a few have even read it. It has this short
list of "strong suggestions",
#7 is- do not commit adultry
and #10 is-You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his
ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor-
Regardless of anyone's personal acceptance of what that book teaches, there are still standards of conduct of what is acceptable and what is not
acceptable.
Definition of adultery from thefreedictionary.com
a·dul·ter·y (-dlt-r, -tr)
n. pl. a·dul·ter·ies
Voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and a partner other than the lawful spouse.
Sounds like a pretty good definition that I would bet 99% of folks would agree with.
edit- spelling...or would that be grammer?, thx Howodd

Actually, irregardless is a double negative. Regardless suffices.

From Merriam-Webster-
"Main Entry: ir·re·gard·less
Pronunciation: \ˌir-i-ˈgärd-ləs\
Function: adverb
Etymology: probably blend of irrespective and regardless
Date: circa 1912
nonstandard : regardless
usage Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention
of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that “there is no such word.” There is such a word, however.
It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it
is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead."

Never could understand that #10 commandment:
"covet - to wish for earnestly <covet an award>"
What's wrong with coveting something? Doesn't that create ambition? If you covet your neighbor's livestock, doesn't that give you ambition to go out
and get your own herd? I also think the big guy could have come up with something better than that for inclusion in the ten most important things
ever written, like "don't molest children" for example. Fortunately I can't find the death penalty criteria for that one, as is required for working
on the Sabbath and talking back to your parents. Glad those have gone out of style.
carpe diem!

Ken, would "covet" be different than "ambition"?
The definitions sound to me like coveting is wanting to get something without the desire to work for it and earn it by actions. To "wish" for it---
ambition-
1 a : an ardent desire for rank, fame, or power b : desire to achieve a particular end
2 : the object of ambition <her ambition is to start her own business>
3 : a desire for activity or exertion <felt sick and had no ambition>
Desiring something is a good thing if a person is willing to work for it, but if that person just wants to TAKE from someone who HAS.....
And I agree that there probably should be a #11 for the children. jmho~
What do you think?

It could be taken that way BajaNuts. I can see that if you covet your neighbor's livestock, and that causes you to steal them from him/her, that is a
bad thing. My biggest criticism of the commandments is the fact that the first four have nothing to do with morality, and the creator of the universe
could certainly have come up with something better than "don't covet your neighbor's ass", regardless of how we interpret "covet".
carpe diem!

"Covet thy neighbors goods" has nothing to do with the goods themselves.
It's the base and wanton desire to have what belongs to another regardless of the commodity. It's that one's life will be enhanced by the possesion
of another's property or thoughts.
It's a haven for those who can't think for themselves.

Do you think the "other" women were actually coveting...as in desiring to own/control the object(which would be the Woods), or were they just having a
good time and feeling special to be noticed by such a celeb?
Either way, what is the feeling about the definition of adultery? Yes?No?
