"It's the parents who actually believe the village' will raise their kids," Rowe said. "When the village is profoundly incapable of doing anything of the sort." Kill Shot. (NPI)

There is a link between fatherlessness and bullying; there is nothing I wouldn’t do to prevent my children from being bullied, and fatherless children are missing one of the two parents that would protect them in that manner.

The Sandy Hook Killer murdered his mother before shooting up the school, he did not have a father at home, he was raised by his mother.

There are certainly except, but the fatherless was issue dwarfs anything else.
Incarceration rates. Poverty. Victims of violent crime. The difference in racially measured outcomes is almost entirely accounted for by fatherlesness. Theres still racism, and it still hurts us, it it is waaaaay down the list.

My late Grandfather lost his father around age 8 to cancer. My best friend had his Dad walk out about the same age.
One day, I suddenly realized that those two (separated by over 65 years) had a lot of the same issues. Neither one had any idea of how to be a father, and it showed. Both are royal bastards, but ones who never were told “no” to certain behaviors.
Now my grandfather raised a family successfully, but the emotional scars he had affected my Dad, my Uncle, and their kids. My best friend has four kids, and has had similar issues.
I wonder what would have happened if either of those two men had a father in their lives. Both turned out “OK”, but the damage done to them has rippled out to other generations. When I look at some of the dang near feral children out there now, I shudder. Many of them not only have no idea of what being a father or a man is, they have no check on their behavior.
Even if marriage came back into vogue, it would take four or five generations to repair the damage.

Maybe “fatherless” should be made illegal.

Why doesn’t Mike run for office already?
He’s got a lot more in common with the average American slob than most people on TV.
His stances on most issues seem sane and decent. Why no?

I dont think literally means what you think it means. I know you think you know what literally means - but it doesnt literally mean that. Ironic, but true.

The government subsidizes single parent homes and now is paying the price. The government should subsidize two-parent, stable homes.
To: Balding_Eagle
Literally has two contradictory meanings. Either
- explicitly exact or (ironically, depending on context)
- the exact opposite of that.
