Married with Children? You're amongst the elite in America.

I'm going to agree that "optimally".....it is probably best that a child be raised by two mentally stable parents, a man and woman..........

That's the point of this thread. Clearly there will be circumstances that make this impossible, and children can, and often do, thrive in such situations, thanks to awesome single parents. I have made that clear multiple times in this post.

My argument is that society should therefore encourage marriage and strong families, since it is the optimal solution. In some ways it does (tax code, e.g.).

In most ways, it doesn't, in fact, it discourages marriage, as I have itemized ad nauseum.

Nothing personal about those comments. Those who take it as such have issues that they should deal with.

Oh please, you said that homosexuals, single parents etc were eroding the institution of marriage. Then, you try to backpedal and say that it is nothing personal.

At the very least, be a man and stand behind your hatred.

Apparently reading comprehension is not a big focus of whatever law school you attended.

Your bitterness is showing. Does the fact that you failed at marriage before shacking up contribute to your antimosity?

LOL...failed at marraige. Coming from an admitted adulterer, I wouldn't slam anyone's marraige if I were you.

As much as you have loved to try to slam me and hurt me on this thread and others, I'm not the only one who thinks you are an enormous hypocrite. You wouldn't believe the volume of pms and k messages in agreement with how hypocritical and nasty people have thought you have been in this thread.

I'm laughing at the IRONY of you criticizing a failed marraige given the fact that you commit adultery and then throw stones at others for contributing to divorce. Looks like maybe you should focus on keeping your OWN marraige together and improving your OWN MORALS rather than casting dispersions on single moms.

I wasn't the only single mom offended by you in this thread. Trust me.

 

[Longhorn85]

So now you are admitting you failed? What about your little "lol" above?

Was that a mistruth just like your baseless accusations about my life? You lash out at others trying to drag them down into your own misery.

Not a way to live.

LOL...mistruth....DENY IT THEN. DENY IT! LOL....be a man.

My lol was at an adulterer talking about a failed marraige. It's ironic. I explained that above, but you missed it, as usual.

 

[heatherrae]

Oh, and the only person trying to drag others down in this thread is YOU. You start a thread lambasting single moms, homosexuals, etc and then can't take the heat and won't answer questions about your own life.

So, once and for all, clear it up for us. Have you ever had sex outside of marraige or commited adultery? If you had not, then you would be a liberty to voice your negative opinions on single parents. Otherwise, I think you better get your own viewpoints squared up with your OWN behavior first.

 

[heatherrae]

My point is that our society discourages marriage by making abortion easy, shacking up acceptable, glorifying single parenthood, etc.

and before you say again that you didn't attack single parents, I'll supply one of MANY quotes in which you did, just so we don't get lost in the shuffle here.
