Is this about that TV show, "My Two Dads"? I always thought the girl was hot.

as a response, how about:

I'll assume you're talking about being adopted and having that father, and then searching out for the biological father. Hence two Daddies.[;)]

I don't know about the political correctness, and what approach to take regarding such an issue. As a result I chose neutrality.
I do, however, see similar examples of this every single day. I work at a cemetery, and right across the street there is a bookstore on Lesbian Living, and a childcare/daycare facility for the children of lesbians. Interesting to see such places have nothing to do with men, and it makes me wonder what kind of MALE ROLEMODELS these children are going to adopt. It could be that of Bill Clinton, GWB, Chuck Schumer, Bruce Willis, Dennis Rodman, or other men they see on TV. I'll wait a few decades to see what studies show regarding this issue. Would be interesting to see if these children become foofers too. It sure is strange to see Bull-Dykes and other Lesbians walking around the neighborhood. It's also strange to see pregnant lesbians in the area too... How'd they do that? Art-Insemenation? Hire a momentary penis? Oh well... Only time will tell how these children will turn out. All I know is that if I had to grow up without MY father I wouldn't be the man I am today, and I would have terribly missed out on a wonderful childhood and many aspects of life. |

I'm with Siren here - who the fuck cares? Hell, I've seen examples of kids raised in gay households, and so far every one of them has turned out to be a normal, intelligent, and (get this) STRAIGHT kid. They have a loving household, are raised well, and are not sexually abused. Hell, more kids in "normal" families are abused as a percentage than kids in gay families. So I suppose we should start asking that question of any kid that says, "I have a mommy and a daddy." Especially in the south - Oh, I'm sorry, did I just utter a stereotype? My stars, where did that come from?
I don't understand the utter hatred and fear of homosexuals sometimes. Of course, I'll be the first to admit that at one time in my life I felt the same way, but I came to the realization and conclusion years ago that I shouldn't judge someone's personality and value as a person on how and where they used their genitalia. Surprisingly, ever since then I've met and befriended some wonderful people (both male and female) who were gay. And yes, if I had them, I'd trust my kids with them alone. |

Nope, Painless. Not naive. I know the statistics on child abuse and molestation. And I don't really understand this misguided notion that somehow a person who is gay is statistically more likely to molest children than someone who is straight. There is no correlation.

View Quote Well, Greywolf2112, not meaning to get into an argument, but as an ex-LEO that worked cases involving abused children and also having friends that still do this every day, I must disagree. Homosexual males are disproportionately represented in cases of molestation of children. That's just the facts. I personally love my grandchildren too much to try to prove some politically correct point by placing them in danger if I don't have too. Now, that being said, I don't believe in trying to "hurt" people because of their sexual preferences, and don't particularly care what they do as long as they don't shove their lifestyle in my face. But they don't deserve any special preferences over others in society. And they aren't going to have an easy shot at my kids or grandkids. I've seen the horror of abuse and, believe me, you don't want to see it. |

Well, I'm sort of in agreement with you there, Painless. As a gay friend of mine (who is also a co-worker who sits next to me in the next cublicle) says, "There are gays, and then there are faggots - and I hate faggots!" He doesn't act it nor does he try to force his sexuality on anyone else. I respect that. I may find what he does a little sick or not "proper", but other than that he's a great guy. Hell, he even hates the French and votes Republican, and is a gun owner.

You are all wrong. The correct answer is "Thuper!".
I think the "That's nice but it's none of my business" is pretty good. Obviously a kid who says this is trying to see if his situation is accepted-he already knows it's not normal. Cavvet, I agree. Greywolf2112, sounds like your coworker is OK, despite. I used to shoot with a gay guy, never knew until someone else told me. I would never let him babysit my kids (not that he would have offered), but otherwise he was a good guy. |

Well, I guess that's marginally better than the situation a lot of kids have...where they're not sure who their daddy is and neither is their mother, but it could be any of several hundred candidates who were in the right place at the right time.

I don't give a crap what people do in the privacy of their bedrooms. It's a conscious choice made between consenting adults.
A child does not have the luxury of consenting or rejecting their homelife. It is the responsibility of each and every parent to provide their child with the most stable, effective platform of parenting to achieve normal behavioral development. I do not believe that it is possible to derive normal, natural childhood behavioral development without close bonding and association with a female mother and a male father. It is a selfish, unnatural, unrealistic expectation on the part of any gay couple to expect they are capable of providing an optimal parenting environment which takes into account the natural, normal, essential nuances of parenting that can only be given by a female mother and a male father. Distortion of this fact will produce latent, emotional and behavioral instability in some area within a child's psyche. I have witnessed it in 5 separate instances with which I am personally acquainted. In 5 of the 5 cases, the child exhibited abnormal behavioral and/or emotional issues. The most radical being three 'step-brothers' who were cast into a situation by their lesbian, college professor mothers who decided to divorce their husbands and take up an openly gay lifestyle. The divorce occurred in the boy's elementary school years, and by the time they were teen, they each demonstrated serious issues with anger and hostility, anti-social behavior, sexual distortions, and violence. I am not an expert in such matters and can only rely on my own, limited college education in psychology, as well as personal observations. I would contend that attempting to raise a child within the context of a gay parenting home constitutes child abuse, albeit no more or less than the psychological distortions brought about by a trailer-park living, single mom who goes through men like she goes through Pabst Blue Ribbon. Bottom line is that according to traditional psychology pertaining to childhood development, it's an abnormal situation that results in compromised development. |

[fallwell] I think that if we didn't have the problems with homosexuals in this country then 9/11 never would have happened. God is angry at us. [/falwell]
I think that a.) As two legal age adults living under the freedoms of the great [b] United States of America [/b] that they should be guaranteed Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. (And I don't think that it should be up to a group to decide what happiness is unless it breaks the laws of the country you live in) Which some of you would no doubt try to draft into law. and b) that with the rate of single and non parent children in this country for two people to want to raise a child that they have to work at it (by adoption cause you know two guys can't make babies) that maybe it isn't so bad and the child would have a better chance at becoming a worthwile human being, then say a crack baby. Somewhere in that book it says something about Judge not lest ye be Judged. BTW I am not gay, but rather believe in people's character rather than the wolfpack that is mob opinion. |
|
Okay, so what say ye in regards to the child's pursuit of happiness in the context of being reared in an environment wherein their psychological development is compromised for the lack of one or the other of a parental role male father or a parental role female mother?
Where is their guarantee? In the circumstance where a child is adopted into a gay couple household in lieu of even traditional, male/female parental role foster care, how can you argue that the child's well-being is being considered for the sake of the egotistically driven desire to pursue happiness on the part of gay parents who want a child? If a couple chooses to be gay, then it has consequences. Repeat after me... my actions will carry consequences. A consequence of being gay is that you cannot provide a normal parenting environment for childhood development. To twist it any other way rejects known, accepted behavioral psychology and denies reality. Leaving any religious implications out of it (as I am agnostically, anti-Falwell), rejecting fact and denying reality to shirk the consequences of your behavior is a liberal characteristic. |

Somewhere in that book it says something about Judge not lest ye be Judged. View Quote Please don't quote the Good Book unless you know what you are talking about. You left out the next verse (most non-Bible scholars do): "For with what judgement ye judge, ye shall be judged..." Matthew 7:1-2 This simply means, Be ready to be judged by the same standards that you use to judge others. Since the Bible clearly judges homosexuality as deviant behavior and sin, I am glad to be judged by that law. And I humbly declare that, just as the Bible declares, homosexual behavior is wrong and deviant. Now, back to your regularly scheduled subject. |

View Quote I can see your argument, in that denying the child a traditional gender role mother and father scenario you would be keeping a basic "right?" away from the child. My argument is that in the hypothetical case I was mentioning that the child has already been born and is in a half-way house, or an orphanage. In this case, how is it better not to let two people love and care for the child and to give it a chance at growing up "normal" then to let it fend for itself as it grows up just because the people that wanted to raise it are "undesirable". I feel that faced with an either or, I would rather the child be loved (and not in THAT WAY) and supported through his life. Rather than have the attitude that they can't because someone thinks that they shouldn't. As for the Bible Quote, I know that it is talking about that you shouldn't judge someone unless you should be judged by the same standards. But this is also from the book where to mix your threads will result in damnation to the FIERY HELL! All I was saying is that unless there is deviant behavior (TRUE deviant behavior, i.e. child porn, child labor not what the religious manual says) than maybe we shouldn't start stockpiling stones just yet. |

Sorry, I thought the question was the ever-popular Southernism: "Who's yer Daddy?"
|
|
My first impulse would be to ask, "Well, that's nice, thank you for sharing that with me, but everybody has a mommy- who is yours, and where is she?"
....but I would probably say, "That's very nice. Be who you want, but don't expect me to cut a check for it." If people don't want to be offended, then they shouldn't open themselves up for criticism. If it's not my business, don't make it mine. |

But this is also from the book where to mix your threads will result in damnation to the FIERY HELL! View Quote Wrong again. For those that don't know what you are talking about, the Jews in the Old Testament were instructed not to mix the materials of the garments they wore. To do so was a violation of their oath to obey God's commandments. But it didn't "damn them to a fiery hell". They could be forgiven this sin just like any other. But regardless, it doesn't apply to Christians today. You might want to try another tack, as the Bible mis-quoting isn't working so well for you. All I was saying is that unless there is deviant behavior (TRUE deviant behavior, i.e. child porn, child labor not what the religious manual says)... View Quote Now let's get this straight. You don't believe that homosexual intercourse is "deviant behavior"? I just looked up deviant in the dictionary: "An individual who differs considerably from the average". Now you're not pretending that "most" people are homosexuals, are you. If not, then their behavior is deviant. |

View Quote Okay, I understand your point. But as a matter of fact, sodomy is still against the law in some states. Just as it should be. Why would society make this behavior criminal? The answer is simple; if allowed to continue, this behavior would destroy society. Society requires families to procreate and raise the offspring to be good and well-balanced members of society. Homosexuals cannot procreate. And their adopted children will grow up with a twisted idea of what "normal" is. They will grow up thinking that it is "normal" for two men to have deviant sex and to escue women. And im not talking about in the eyes of the Lord, he doesn't need you to do his judgement for him. View Quote No, He doesn't, but He instructs me to judge in many areas of life and to choose the correct path for me and mine. He gives us instruction in righteousness and expects us to conform to His righteous standards. And He has said, very clearly, that homosexual behavior is wrong and unacceptable. you still haven't answered how to either let a kid grow up with loving parents (be they "sinners" or not), or to keep him in an orphanage where its dog eat dog is any better for the child. View Quote I didn't realize you had asked me this question. The answer is that it is better to be raised by a loving mother and father in a normal family. If this is not possible, then an orphanage is better than being raised by two perverts. Many fine men have made something of their lives after starting out in orphanages. God can make good men out of sinners. But His way is the best way. "There is no better plan than God's plan." View Quote |
