Homz Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 True adoption success story: My wife's (wicked1) best friend and his partner have adopted a child. The new dads have a stable loving environment and are gainfully employed. One (Wicked's friend) is a doctor of psychiatry and his partner is a grade school teacher. I know the child is happy and is loved. I could ask for no more from any parents. And I wouldn't expect any child could need more then that.

Homz Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 Effects of Fatherlessness (US Data) 1) BEHAVIORAL DISORDERS/ RUNAWAYS/ HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUTS/CHEMICAL ABUSERS/ SUICIDES * 85% of all children that exhibit behavioral disorders come from fatherless homes (Source: Center for Disease Control) * 90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes (Source: U.S. D.H.H.S.' date=' Bureau of the Census) * 71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes (Source: National Principals Association Report on the State of High Schools.) * 75% of all adolescent patients in chemical abuse centers come from fatherless homes (Source: Rainbows for all God's Children.) * 63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes (Source: U.S. D.H.H.S., Bureau of the Census) 2) JUVENILE DELINQUENCY/ CRIME/ GANGS * 80% of rapists motivated with displaced anger come from fatherless homes (Source: Criminal Justice & Behavior, Vol 14, p. 403-26, 1978) * 70% of juveniles in state-operated institutions come from fatherless homes (Source: U.S. Dept. of Justice, Special Report, Sept 1988) * 85% of all youths sitting in prisons grew up in a fatherless home (Source: Fulton Co. Georgia jail populations, Texas Dept. of Corrections 1992) * California has the nation's highest juvenile incarceration rate and the nation's highest juvenile unemployment rate. Vincent Schiraldi, Executive Director, Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice, "What Hallinan's Victory Means," San Francisco Chronicle (12/28/95). These statistics translate to mean that children from a fatherless home are: * 5 times more likely to commit suicide. * 32 times more likely to run away. * 20 times more likely to have behavioral disorders. * 14 times more likely to commit rape * 9 times more likely to drop out of high school. * 10 times more likely to abuse chemical substances. * 9 times more likely to end up in a state-operated institution. * 20 times more likely to end up in prison. * Juveniles have become the driving force behind the nation's alarming increases in violent crime, with juvenile arrests for murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault growing sharply in the past decade as pistols and drugs became more available, and expected to continue at the same alarming rate during the next decade. "Justice Dept. Issues Scary Report on Juvenile Crime," San Francisco Chronicle (9/8/95). "Crime Wave Forecast With Teenager Boom," San Francisco Chronicle (2/15/95). * Criminal behavior experts and social scientists are finding intriguing evidence that the epidemic of youth violence and gangs is related to the breakdown of the two-parent family. "New Evidence That Quayle Was Right: Young Offenders Tell What Went Wrong at Home," San Francisco Chronicle (12/9/94). 3) TEENAGE PREGNANCY * "Daughters of single parents are 53% more likely to marry as teenagers, 164% more likely to have a premarital birth, and 92% more likely to dissolve their own marriages. All these intergenerational consequences of single motherhood increase the likelihood of chronic welfare dependency." Barbara Dafoe Whitehead, Atlantic Monthly (April 1993). * Daughters of single parents are 2.1 times more likely to have children during their teenage years than are daughters from intact families. The Good Family Man, David Blankenhorn. * 71% of teenage pregnancies are to children of single parents. U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services. 4) CHILD ABUSE * The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services states that there were more than 1,000,000 documented child abuse cases in 1990. In 1983, it found that 60% of perpetrators were women with sole custody. Shared parenting can significantly reduce the stress associated with sole custody, and reduce the isolation of children in abusive situations by allowing both parents' to monitor the children's health and welfare and to protect them. 5) POVERTY * "The National Fatherhood Institute reports that 18 million children live in single-parent homes. Nearly 75% of American children living in single-parent families will experience poverty before they turn 11. Only 20% in two-parent families will experience poverty." Melinda Sacks, "Fatherhood in the 90's: Kids of absent fathers more "at risk"," San Jose Mercury News (10/29/95). * "The feminization of poverty is linked to the feminization of custody, as well as linked to lower earnings for women. Greater opportunity for education and jobs through shared parenting can help break the cycle." David Levy, Ed., The Best Parent is Both Parents (1993). 6) KIDNAPPING * Family abductions were 163,200 compared to non-family abductions of 200-300. The parental abductions were attributed to the parents' disenchantment with the legal system. David Levy, Ed., The Best Parent is Both Parents (1993), citing a report from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice (May 1990). http://www.childrensjustice.org/fatherlessness2.htm[/quote'] So then you are arguing that homes with two dads (gay couple) are better then the traditional nuclear family with only one dad?

If you did, then you certainly don't understand it.[/quote'] Actually I've read the bible many times, but not in the last ten years. Has it changed. Has there been another revision like that King James one that fixed many of the obvious mistakes. For example incests with 4 legs. That BTW would have been in Leviticus (somewhere around 20).

max2343 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Hell no. Men should not have sex with Men. It sickens me to think about it. They shouldn't be able to carry on "Out of the Closet" in front of minor Children THAT THEY CAN NEVER NATURALLY HAVE. ANAL SEX BETWEEN TO MEN WILL NOT PRODUCE A LOVE CHILD Why do you think God has given the Gay Community "Aids" It's Immoral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max2343 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 No Homz. Never said that and thats a twisted and sick interpretation of what I stated. It's a good healthy thing for a child to see normal Affection and love between his mother and father interacting Daily. Not Seeing love and Affection between two men. That will twist and Alter a young Healthy mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluemoon Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Why do you think God has given the Gay Community "Aids" It's Immoral So, he was angry at gays and gave them AIDS. Is that your theory? The last time I checked AIDS doesn't discriminate against gays or heterosexuals. It is an equal opportunity infector. Also, the origins of HIV is a simian immunodeficiency virus. So I guess god hates monkeys as much as he does gays. Strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
