Not in childbearing years, it isn't!

Have you no knowledge of female reproduction biology?

[Howlin]

Bill! Once again, we agree.

Mark it down.

[DoughtyOne]

LOL

Hey, Merry Christmas to you as well. Thanks.

[Torie]

date = data.

[paulat]

I don't agree with you, and I am having a very good life. But I DO thank you for your kind words.

[rintense]

You're right. 37 is a time when a woman's body begins to decline severely n terms of fertility.

[Howlin]

And I thought the prigs only came out in the day! Boy was I wrong............LOL.

I'm glad I had a few glasses of wine tonight, or this thread would be UNBEARABLE.

[MaxMax]

Merry Christmas.

[paulat]

My intention was to be a sign of hope... : \

Condescension is not "hope."

Please email Martha Stewart. You guys would get along great.

[Torie]

Well there was some point - counterpoint on this thread. It was fun, at least for me.

I wouldn't say anybody's got a mental disorder here, but I will say this just ain't natural. That's just the way I feel. Millions of years of evolution gave me this feeling. "Consider the birds". They have always been my model of parental devotion, and didn't evolution make them what they are? Why do we have to usurp nature? Isn't a due respect for "millions of years of evolution" tantamount to a certain religiosity? For me, it is! You know, "There is a grandeur in this view of life" - and like that.

I'll just bet.........LOL.

Poor Mary. The whacks on both sides just will not leave her alone.

[rintense]

Some things never change!

[Central Scrutiniser]

So, its your business to legislate how other people handle their personal relationships?

Pray tell, how will you go about doing so?

Is it a tenet of conservativism to pry into people's personal lives?

So what if other gays adopt? Each case is handled by trained professionals. Are you as worried that poor hetero parents may also adopt?

Regarding open orgies, etc, so what? Non gay people have swingers clubs where they swap mates, and they don't hurt anyone, its their lives, and you know nothing about it.

You gotta stop feeling that you have to be the home owner association over other people's lives, it really is none of your business.

"..Have you no knowledge of female reproduction biology?"

I was saying young as in the ability to LEARN. The child is already a done deal. The child's upbringing is off in the future which may see Mary become less predictable and less parochial.

[nopardons]

I am neither young nor stupid!

Not all that long ago, 37 was thought to be just about middle aged and at 21, people were supposed to be adults and act like adults. Sadly, age has now become a figure that can be pushed and pulled and mauled, with 30 year old believing that they should be allowed to act and think and be thought of as 15 year olds, but with adult privileges and NO responsibility. That is the height of madness!

By 37 a woman is reaching a point of declining viable egg production; especially if she has never had a child.

Yes, people live longer than they used to, but no matter how "good" a shape one is in, a mother who is pushing 40, is no spring chicken.

[Howlin]

Well, sometimes it's the SOS for some of us, but it seems like more and more people are speaking up for sanity.

[Central Scrutiniser]

Persuade people to come to a knowledge of Christ as their Savior and renounce their sinful lifestyles. Nothing more will work, certainly not legislation. There have probably been homosexual parents from the beginning of time, irrespective of law and custom.

And, if they refuse, what then? I am Catholic, I have no desire to listen to evangelicals tell me how to worship, that is my right, isn't it?

[loboinok]

Interesting. In post #48 you said...I found that bigotry and close mindedness is only ended via natural attrition.

Bigotry as defined; 1.stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own... does not appear to apply to homosexuality.

However, in post #97 you said...I'd rather have two loving lesbians adopt or have kids than allow a phoney baloney evangelical hypocrite like Haggard to have kids.... does fall under bigotry.
