To address your points:
1. I'm more pessimistic now. I didn't realise the statistics were as high as 51%. Surely you would call that 'regularly'?
I never said anything about abolishing marriage, or a traditional family unit. I do think, though, that it might be a little naive of you to think that the other 49% of people are doing a great job of parenting. If you're married with children, does that AUTOMATICALLY make you a good parent? I think not. |
well i didn't say that either, did i? and the numbers were just a random guess. i'm just saying that a family is a mommy and a daddy. children should be raised in the natural environment and then set free to choose their own way in life, even despite all the issues related to the contemporary family.

2. I didn't ask for proof about gay single parents raising children, I asked for your opinion on the matter.
Are you generally homophobic? If you found out that one of your best friends was gay, would you instantly change your opinion of them? I'm not asking in order to put you down, I'm just curious. |
jesus christ, haven't we been over this in the jake benson thread a long time ago? (remember that "/i have succeeded" part? lol). i'm afraid i might not have the correct understanding of "homophobic" so i'll break it down:
- am i against gays in general? a yes/no answer is not applicable. it's the same as asking "are you against apples?";
- am i against same-sex relationships? no;
- am i against same-sex marriages? no;
- am i against same-sex couples adopting kids? yes;
- am i against using the word "family" for same-sex couples? yes;
- am i against our kids being taught that being gay is normal? yes.
- would i change my opinion about gays if i found out that my best friend was gay? no; i'd just have a great excuse to say "lol that's ghey dude"
- would i try it? life in unpredictable

Talk to one former eastern block peon and you've spoken to them all, they're basically the hillbilly's of Europe that spend most of their time drunk, unconscious or beating their wife/1st cousin. I mean Ben was about the only one who wasn't a complete inbred arsehole and capable of stringing a paragraph together, not dealing out gross generalisations or anything as is often the trend, just saying y'know |
opinions like these are the general cause of all conflicts on earth. i don't even want to elaborate this further
