To me it is about the kids, if a father really stood a 50/50 chance of keeping his children, then it would be better.

Unfortunately the father stands no chance of keeping the kids.

Damn shame.

Women don’t want to get married until their late 30s now and too often would rather raise prized (and dressed) pets than children.

Feminist chickens coming home to roost.

The goal was to destroy the "patriarchy". End result is as intended.

You posted what you did in reaction to my original post in which I stated my biases about men who engage in serial marriages. What kind of come-back did you expect?

I had no reference to your mother, whom I am sure was a fine woman and a great mother to you. And it had nothing to do with her as a choice. Women are usually not the problem in these situations. I did, and you picked up on the tone correctly, not think much of your father’s marrying six women in a lifetime. He was probably a fine man in other respects but one has to wonder about his marrying one woman after another. Too bad you can’t understand that.

As I said, I meant no disrespect to your parents. I had only reference to your father’s marital record.

With that caveat, I submit my apology to you.

There’s no shame at all in voluntary celibacy. Especially in these times, young people should learn it’s an option as opposed to the garbage they learn from Hollywood and the public education system.

Many of them aren’t even qualified to raise pets, let alone children.

And the majority of the men who wish to become fathers would prefer a younger woman who has less problems with her fertility.

I worry for my son. He meets many local girls and says it is dificult to find a nice girl who isnt expecting the world. Boys who date in our area are expected to pony up expensive , 200 dollar or more gifts every four to six weeks.

How does one tell one’s son, kid, you need to meet women in Asia?

Ah, y’all just don’t like that someone broke the “code talk”.

hit a nerve cause I basically said that y’all are starting to sound like Muslims, and want to be Masters.

As for my “canine and feline” children. Well, I never have to worry about them stealing my stuff or calling me to bail them out of jail.

All I’m saying is “same burger, different clowns”.

Oh and for the record, my thinking bone is just fine, and I’m thinking that I feel real sorry for the women, Mothers, Wives, Daughters, Aunts in some of the peoples here lives.

And wondering what the hell has happened to Free Republic.

When people here start sounding like the people who want Sharia Law, and to take over the world, I’m going to point it out.

Like it, lump it, my give a damn is busted.

You’ve heard about the Godwin’s Law? There oughta be an equivalent law referring to mentions of Sharia Law as unbreakable arguments in Internet discussions.

Because no one here except you has argued for Sharia Law. However, the article as well as the posters, have noted serious changes in the society over the past 50 years that you wish to deny while you “feel sorry” for our Aunts. Our Aunts, by the way, do appreciate your concern and say to you “Thank you too much!”

I just want a good conservative man. Tonight two of the the men I met were Liberals (the others I couldn’t tell).

These were men in their 50’s-—that was depressing-—it means they grew up in the same country I did but took a hard Left turn.

What happened?!

You could say it’s from doing U-turns under the sheets.

I get the reference. Do you get this reference in regards to the perfect theme song for Miss Sandra Fluke?

“i maybe wrong but i think many/a lot of the are gun shy...

getting shot down for most of them is still hard to take in today’s self esteem driven world even for Christians”

That is an enormously ignorant and callous statement.

“Gun shy”, please. What kind of a fool would enter into a civil contract where at any time the other party can make a criminal complaint against you in order to have you arrested, take your children from you, evict you from your dwelling, terminate the civil contract, take half of your assets and garnish your wages?

From that starting point you must defend yourself by enjoining a highly-developed revolving door legal-government industry dedicated to extracting money from families via criminal, civil and tort prosecution.

If you’re lucky you can defend the civil suits after you’ve dismissed the criminal allegations. In the end the majority of your assets will be controlled by lawyers, government and your ex-partner in that order.

Fool.

You too!

Lovely picture of your son and grandsons! How old is the granddaughter now?

I’m expecting my first grandchild, a boy, in February. I can’t wait.
