It's a very rare thing in this generation for a man our age to not be afraid to love.

Good Lord, is it THAT bad?

I guess I should be grateful for my generation and all those 'sensitive' male types we insisted upon. LOL!

[weikel]

I will probably offend you by saying this but a girl who gets pregnant at 14 is kinda the crackwhore poster child. "The Pill" doesn't work if not used correctly.

"Now, that's not necessarily true. Liberal women prefer their emotions. Conservative women prefer logic and use reason just like men do."

I think we can also say that liberal men aren't very logical either. Actually the entire philosophy is just a seething mass of contradictions starting with being simultaneously pro-abortion but anti-death penalty.

Me too. I kept saying I'd get a job when the kids went to school, got out of grade school, jr hi, high school, and one thing or another I never did get a job. I do the all the financial side of our business and I still do a lot of physical work on it too but I was there to raise my kids and it shows in their lives.

[weikel]

Don't get me started on sensitive men thats one of my pet peeves with feminism.

My niece was 21 when she got pregnant (old enough to know better, I might add) It is her daughter who is 14. And neither of them are crackwhores! They are both very good photographers, as a matter of fact!

The Arabs are GAY??? Oh, I'm sorry but this is tooo funny. And I have to go now too. Time to cook dinner. It's part of the 'nurturer' in me, ya know!

Have a nice evening. How's that for sappy?? ;o)

Finally, just how does a young man like you become so bloody cynical at such a young age?

I'll tell you.

We (the older generation) made him and his cohort that way. We did everything we could to set the stage for the era in which we now live, by becoming the "Me Generation," by electing Bill Clinton, by divorcing each other at a staggering rate, by worshipping the works of our hands and the almighty dollar, by diluting the Christ-centeredness of mainstream Christianity, by building the most materialistic, consumer-driven society this world has seen since Babylon the Great, and by modeling for weikel and all his friends the very essence of "hearts waxing cold toward one another."

I cannot get angry at young people like weikel, because I realize that we in our forties, fifties and sixties have so screwed up the America that once was the shining city on the hill that it's a wonder they aren't more screwed up than they are.

[Wphile]

I know what you mean but I still say he's there already.

[Wphile]

Hey WEIKEL!! The 15 year old girl in the post is the BABY, not the woman who got pregnant. Small detail there.

[weikel]

Well if it makes you feel any better Gen X is pretty conservative politically cynics don't really fall for the "feel good" rhetoric of the Democrats.

[Nataku X]

I was referring more to birth control and to the actual act of raising the child. I don't know any unmarried moms my age or younger whose father is still involved in their life (other than perhaps money...) We have a high rate of teen pregnancy here, so I know what I'm talking about.

It used to be that men knew it was their duty to take care of their children. Now, thanks to feminists, they're liberated from that obligation (of course they might have to pay child support, but not every young unmarried mom I know receives financial help from the dad).

Sorry, but you are a prime example of what the author of the article is talking about--men who are reaping the benefits from the feminist revolution. As you said, you're getting all the freebies. And members of our gender (that includes your girlfriend) who buy that crap are shortchanging themselves.

[weikel]

Yes I'm sorry my mistake.

[Wphile]

Yes, I figured it would be. That's why I brought it up! Oh, and guess what? Women were wrong about that too. We really do prefer the manly types.

The sensitive ones are all Dems.

[Wphile]

I agree.

[Nataku X]

Men who aren't afraid to love aren't being "sensitive"... they're giving into higher functions than sexual attraction.

Sensitivity is lying at a screening of the Titanic with your girlfriend... "Boo hoo! Leo died!" instead of cheering.

[weikel]

I am there already. It is too late for me WPhile LOL.

NX, I appreciate young people like you so much, you can't know.

Remember that I have a son 24, daughter 22 and another daughter who's twenty (she'll be 21 later this year). I love them so very much, and hate the difficulties they're going through as a result of poor choices they've made.

We tried to teach them correct principles, but in the end they must govern themselves, and my daughters in particular have made some bad decisions in the process.

My 22 year old just broke up with the guy with whom she'd been "shacking up" for about the last two years. She, too, was very cynical about the idea of marriage and she told herself that it was better this way.

Then she began to realize how much is missing when the commitment is not there.

I could go on, but suffice it to say that you are doing yourself the biggest favor I think you could do. You aren't missing out on anything, and you and your husband will realize the power of your decision some day, mark my words.

If you have a chance (and assuming it is playing where you live) try and catch the little, low-budget indie film The Other Side of Heaven if you can. It stars Christopher Gorham (Party of Five, Felicity) and Anne Hathaway (The Princess Diaries) and is about a young couple, very much in love, who decide to wait while the young man serves an LDS church mission in Tonga.

Much of the film deals with their communications back and forth, and how they had the strength (and the commitment) to be 3,000 miles apart for 30 months during which time the young man nearly loses his life to the dangers of living in that remote place.

I think you'll come away with a great appreciation of what true love and commitment really are.

In the meantime, NEVER stop being your beautiful self, kiddo.

[weikel]

On that I agree wholeheartedly.

[Illbay]

That may be, but I'm afraid Gens X and Y have been mightily shortchanged, and not just by Democrats. I seem to have read not long ago, that conservative Christians are more likely to divorce than liberal agnostics.

There's a message there somewhere.
