Check your stats on divorce. Michael Medved has disputed that. Also, the rest of your stats are messed up because coming from a divorced home is not the same stat as coming from a unwed mother home. Most men in prison are estranged from their fathers. That is an argument on behalf of needing BOTH parents.
If they are a few percentage points off does it really matter ? Divorce is an abomination on children, you do great harm to your children when you get a divorce while they are still growing up. And children raised in one parent families for whatever reason are no better off. The truth will set us free !
Boys take a worse beating growing up without a father, deal with it hon, I speak from experience.
Deal with what, hon? It sounded like you were trying to make a case against marriage because of the damage divorce can do. I was pointing out that the stats on marriage are better than that now, but that the children born to unwed mothers is a crisis and further supports the imporance of having both parents. Are you disagreeing with me about that? Because I don't get what you are sounding cranky about.
You are the one disputing the figures, they are from a book published in the early 90's by a woman. Don't blame me.
A book published by a woman... how can I dispute that? ;) I'm just offering that the divorce rate really isn't a high as 50%, and that children of divorce shouldn't be mixed in studies with children of unwed mothers. That's all.
I'm just trying to get the point across that the ideal situation for a kid to grow up with the best chances for a successful life are in a two parent home, husband and wife. Even a step parent can turn out bad for a kid. I think it has to do with the fact that we inherit the traits of our parents and respond best to like heredity traits.

Bump to that.
They will be defeated, knowledge is power !
The comparison of the gay so-called civil rights movement and the black one is entirely spurious. The reason is that the fundamental legal rationale for the activism of the black civil rights movement was the passage of the 14th amendment, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. All of this legislation was passed after much debate and implemented through the small r republican process. This current movement is being fueled by activists and a radical elite contravening the democratic process through judicial activism and the illegal intercession of certain elected officials.
This is a tremendously insulting thing - prancing deviate sodomites trying to "steal valor" from people that have experienced horrific hardship. The good news is, the "straight man doin' me wrong" gambit won't survive people finding out that these beasts have higher incomes than decent people.

Actually marriage IS a right. You have to be adjudged incompetent in order to loose the right to marry. It is no different than the right to be mother or father.
