Who knew?

I just heard a collective, screetchy whine from those in the lesbian community who wish to adopt.

Well of course reasoning abilities are enhanced by a father in a child’s life. Women are completely unreasonable.

: )

[najida]

Yep, a loving father makes all the difference.

[Dilbert San Diego]

I thought there have also been studies that disproportionate numbers of teens and young adults who get in trouble with the law grew up without fathers, or were from broken homes. The information seems to be that fathers are important.

Gee, maybe it’s best if kids have both a father and a mother. I know that’s not politically correct to say, but maybe that’s the best situation for kids.

I thought women needed us as fish needed bicycles?

[A_perfect_lady]

Well sur-prise, sur-prise!!!

Where can I get grant money to perform studies like this? I’ll just publish the obvious conclusion and use the rest for an addition on the house.

I was amazed at how half of the people on Biggest Loser last week had father issues as the root of their weight problems.

Really thought I had been doing pretty well by my son (7 years old) when his teacher called and was very concerned he had drawn a rat with a knife and wanted us in her office very soon - my wife said, you mean like the mouse in Ratatouille which he saw about a week earlier? The teacher said she had not thought about that.

Duh... what a surprise!

Father “figures”????????

[cinives]

While I agree, let’s not forget than for centuries women whose husbands died young did a fine job by themselves raising children too. You can find male role models in many places if the father is not available.

While an actively engaged father is best, it’s the love AND discipline of either parent that makes the difference between a juvenile delinquent and a good kid.

"Who knew?"

That's why the Bible talks about the responsibilities of a father to his wife and children. The areas of responsibility are clearly laid out, and if followed, provide an excellent child-rearing environment.

KEEP KIDS OFF MEDICATION.. THAT SHOOTER IN ILLINOIS IS A BAD EXAMPLE THE END GAME.

Governments and employers also have an important role to play in ensuring that men can spend quality time with their offspring, stress the authors.

See! It's Bush's fault that so many dads don't spend quality time with their kids.

[Joe Boucher]

What? You mean two mommies or two daddies isn’t as good as a mom and a daddy?
This is obviously written by straight folks who have a grudge against the abnormals known as fags.

"Public policy has the potential to facilitate or create barriers to fathers spending time with their children during the crucial years of early development" says Dr Sarkadi. "Unfortunately current institutional policies in most countries do not support the increased involvement of fathers in child rearing. Paid parental leave for fathers and employers sympathetic to fathers staying at home with sick children is still a dream in most countries.

I think that's a bit of overkill....mostly they need to find some way of preventing women from becoming pregnant out of wedlock, and reducing the divorce rate, I'd think.

Don’t tell this to the feminazi’s. Just a man being there, being a positive steady and stable influence is better than nothing. It’s not enough, but it is far better than no man being around at all.
