Stop making it convenient for women to cheat and make shared custody standard.

Problem solved.

You're welcome.

It's not a privilege, but a necessity for a proper society to be healthy. And a man and woman, not 2 same-sex people.

It's so mindboggling that lefties act like they discovered something new with this. People have been warning about this for decades. One day lefties will say that gay "marriage" doesn't produce children naturally.

I'm thankful to God that he allowed me to be reared by both of my parents, who loved and respected each other. Best gift parents can give their child. Few years here and there my father had to work elsewhere, but didn't mean he wasn't around and involved.

cubbies needs a book to realize what most conservatives including people like Candice Owens have been saying all along. Why do you think democrats have been pushing just the opposite the last 4O years? To keep certain demographics and social classes at their beckoning call. You don't get this if you don't do this. The nuclear family and children were thriving before politicians created the welfare class. This class would rather get it given to them then have to work to get ahead. Statistics show that a two parent home is better financially and shows kids thrive but yet the government rewards single moms with kids by different daddy's. Go figure.

It’s like God knows best for us:

“Hmmm, I’m not married. Should I get pregnant and have a baby on my own?”
Ex 20:14
You shall not commit adultery (sex outside of marriage)

“So, my wife and I are thinking of splitting up , kids should be ok, right?”
Malachi 2:15-16
You should be on guard, then, for your life, and do not break faith with the wife of your youth. For I hate divorce,
says the LORD, the God of Israel,

Absolutely. It's instinctual. People are becoming less intelligent.

So you want nothing but praise and don't think you should be criticized?

Then why would you, a Leftist, come paste your life all over a Political Message Board that leans Right?

Until they do research that shows them the lunacy of the Leftist echo chamber.

I made a thread on the freakanomics episode about that study when it first dropped. You should find the podcast episode and see how it fricked with her head.

She's parlayed that into this book deal.

no other arrangement works quite as well as matrimony.
In the 1990s, Dan Quayle made this argument. But he couldn't spell "potato." So he got pilloried for it.

Fast forward 30yrs.
Now a Potatobrain occupies the oval office, and there is an uncomfortable, albeit slow, realization that Quayle was right. Median single-parent households earn about 1/3rd what two-parent HH's do. It turns out that one vs two parent financial chasm, plus the lack of a father figure, plus a mother trying to attain life-work balance, can disadvantage her kids. Geaux figure!

The Two Parent Privilege
All he had to do was go back to 1966 and look at the number of 2 parent families vs today. LBJ really did a trick on us.

Not just educational stats, but stats related to poverty, drug use, incarceration, etc. kids do better when their father is in the home. People always point out exceptions, but on average single parent households don’t do as well for kids.

Food stamps definitely keep families from starving so how is that not a successful program? It’s purpose is to feed people.


Incorrect. Food stamps were created to keep food prices high during the Great Depression. The government doesn’t care about anyone. When you understand that, you will have achieved clarity.

As an aside:

The school provided Quayle with a card that had “potatoe” on it.

Potatoe was still being used as an alternate spelling by the New York Times as late as 1988. Other media outlets used the alternate spelling up to 1992, the year of Quayle’s “gaffe.” And then all usage ceased.

I've always likened Government at ANY level to a fellow that owns an Auto Glass repair shop, who secretly drives around at night, shattering windows with a BB gun.

Quayle is a prime example of how media can create a falsehood out of thin air.

Potatoe permanently made him an idiot. Yet, when he met with leaders in S. America, multiple S. American leaders professed astonishment at his command of the specifics of many issues facing them. The Brazilian leader openly expressed surprise because based on coverage, he expected Quayle to be an idiot/lightweight.

This was covered in the S. American media but ignored here.

Meanwhile, Obama can lay eggs like "Corpse Man" and use 97 "uh uh uhs" in a 2 minute extemporaneous speech and he's one of the smartest men alive!
