>>Most people know who their relatives are, but not these "mis-fatherd" children<<

That is my point exactly. These "mis-fatherd" children will not know who their sibs/fathers are and therefore the likelihood that they will have children together is increased.

The US census bureau posted the 22% figure as those that ever permanently move more than 25 miles from their birth place.

We're brothers?!

Anyone know the "out of wedlock" birth rate in the Afircan-American community?
Nationwide, 70%. In some communities, 90%.

This of course, is only incidentally related to the story at hand.

Out of wedlock does not necessarily indicate that some poor fool is hocking his car to pay for what he thinks is his child.

It more likely just means that another unwed mother is drawing wellfare for another fatherless kid.

It's hard when all the social/ gov't policies, the MSM and the "new morality" are saying exactly the opposite of what we try to model at home. They undermine good parenting at every turn.

At least our kids have the benefit of parents and values. It's not a guarantee, but good insurance. All we can do is pray for the rest.

In Trinidad there was a family
With much confusion as you will see
It was a mama and a papa, and a boy who was grown
Who wanted to marry and have a wife of his own

He found a young girl, that suited him nice
And went to his papa to ask his advice
His papa said son, I have to say no
This girl is your sister but your mama don't know

Woe, is me, shame and scandal in the family
Woe, is me, shame and scandal in the family

A week went by and the summer came 'round
And soon the best cook in the island he found
He went to his papa to name the date
But papa shook his head and to him he said
You can't marry this girl, I have to say no
This girl is your sister but your mama don't know

Woe, is me, shame and scandal in the family
Woe, is me, shame and scandal in the family

He went to his mama and covered his head
And told his mama what his papa had said
His mama she laughed, she said go, man, go
Your daddy ain't your daddy, but your daddy don't know

Woe, is me, shame and scandal in the family
Woe, is me, shame and scandal in the family

I know that my dad is real... he's a lazy bastard, I'm a lazy bastard, couldn't be mere coincidence.

ROTFLMAO!!!!

On second thought, I kind of resemble that remark.

[LoneRangerMassachusetts]

I figure the childern in the next generation will have significant health issues relating to this problem because of sib's etc having childern.

Try pointing that out to the liberal parasites -- sociologists and psychologists -- whose livelihood depends upon a paycheck from taxpayers for services that no sane person would fund.

You forgot one the precursor - is he good enough to bring home to my parents?

Good point. My father-in-law sat me down and went over the rules when I went to pick her up for our first date. One of them was, "Sex before marriage will get you killed. I mean it....I will literally kill you."

It was awkward for a first date, but at least we all knew what was expected.

You owe me a new keyboard!!! Thanks for the laugh!!!

This is hardly news. Various studies showing the same thing have been publicized for the past several years. It was no surprise to me the first time, and still isn't.

Certain members of my family know that my grandmother's sister was really her half-sister. The more naive members of the family (including the woman's daughter) have no idea. It had been speculated for years, due to her striking resemblance to a male friend of her mother's, and certainly her official "father" knew pretty early on. She obviously knew herself, since she confirmed it to my father on her deathbed, but I have no idea how old she was when she found out. At any rate, it certainly didn't cause the family to disintegrate.

...At the birth of their third child it became obvious she had some 'splainin' to do....

LOL. There was an old SNL skit that was pretty funny. Went something like this.

---

Man on his deathbed, surrounded by his wife and 6 children. One of the children is really goofy looking..

Man. "Dear, I just have to ask you. I've never thought (goofy child) was really my son".

Wife. "You want the truth"?

Man. "Yes".

Wife. "He is, the rest of em ain't".

Short of rape, takes one to allow sexual access. The girls need raise their standards.

The boys need to raise their standards too. It's not just about the women.

You are correct in that it only takes one to allow sexual access. However, just because I have access doesn't mean I'm gong to use it. The males in these relationships have just as much responsibility to control their behavior as the women do.

[wyattearp]

Women are evil. I've never heard of a husband lying to his wife about a child's maternity.

Reminds me of what was probably the only funny comedy line that Ellen Degenerate ever said: "I'm a single woman, no kids. At least... none that I... know about".

Yes, but the impact would be much greater if standards were implemented by the girls. The girls have an easier time controlling their sexual urges at that age than Captain Hard-On does.

Besides, if you think about it, the standard has always been set by the women. Men have always been happy to do whatever is required - right now it's disgustingly little.

You should hear it sung. Very funny.

It also shows the downside to the "tomcat" male who wants to be profligate with his seed; chances are that while he is out messing around creating sons and daughters who will never know him, his own children will also not be his own (genetically).

Humans are mostly monogamous in pair bonds. The male's deviate from this norm by trying to be a "tomcat"; but with mixed results (as the song attests). For myself, I would rather raise one son or daughter with my culture, beliefs and values that would be my friend in life WITHOUT any of my genetics; than to have ten sons and ten daughters who who are mine genetically but don't know me from Adam and would want to kick my butt if they knew who I was. The females deviate from monogamous pair bonds with "crypto paternity"; where they rope a moderately successful male who WILL help them raise a child, while actually securing the "best" DNA for their child by siring it with a highly successful male who would probably NOT help them raise the child (probably has some of his own already).

That statement is just plain weird!

From Benny Hill - He: "Goodnight, mother of two"; She: "Goodnight, father of one"

[CajunConservative]

Real father is man who raises the children regardless of the genetics.

That is so true. It's also not the kid's fault for the parent's indiscretions.

[Brilliant]

Fortunately, I have no doubt. Both my daughter and son are dead ringers for me, and that's scary!

[ApplegateRanch]

Disgraceful. Whores.

Also disgraceful, "Johns".

For every whore, there is AT LEAST one male customer.

Same for every slut, who is too stupid to even charge...or take a pill.
