I suppose it's more polite than a "Ho family".
I personally know 3 friends who have found, over time, they weren't their kids dads. One in an emergency room situation involving an accident, he is now widowed and has raised a fine son. The other divorced not long after finding out. The 3rd was a former boss, whose personal secretary didn't do a very good job of keeping the 'secret' of her 2nd child's 'real father' a secret. But he and his wife stayed married, boy did the wife make him pay. And the other woman continued to work for him. Maybe it's more than 25%...
I was talking about that youngish prince of what is it, Monaco? He just admitted to fathering the kid of an airline flight attendant, and said he expects other women may soon be making similiar claims.
Nationwide, 70%. In some communities, 90%.
That is almost as bad as what cow birds do. The cow bird lays its eggs in another birds nest. The cow birds chick hatches first and and is raised by the other birds. The cow bird chicks push the other chicks out of the nest when they are hatched.
Momma's baby....Daddy's maybe.............
I know that my dad is real... he's a lazy bastard, I'm a lazy bastard, couldn't be mere coincidence.
Over 66%!! What does that mean when those kids start 'hooking up' with each other- and none of them know if they share a common father!?
How much of that unknown incest is the cause of low IQ's and borderline retardation now?
You won't get out of it that easy, mister. lol
Oh, yes, lets blame science, shall we?
Men can never inflict a cuckolding on women, but the implication is that we should hide this information from the man unless its absolutely necessary to tell him.
This is another example of liberal bias that has crept into law.
The law in the US (never written, but assumed from old english law by liberal judges) is that the man of the house is de-facto assumed to be the parent, regardless of what the DNA says. While this might have worked in days when men had some control over their wives social outings, this situation does not exist anymore, and no man can make his wife stay home. Yet the old rules persist.
Men should be able to at the very least obtain child support payments from the boyfriend, but I've never heard of this happening.
So what will prevent brother/sisters/fathers/daughters etc from having childern? Considering less that 22% of people ever leave thier hometowns, this could be a significant issue in the next few years.
Yeah, the whole "hooking up" culture thing is frightening, for many reasons. The HIV rate is reportedly soaring among young people now.
To look at me, you'd have no idea who my father is. I am the spittin' image of my mother and always have been. Her pictures and mine at the same age could be the same woman, with different hairdos.
It's a classic techology debate. Is it good or is it bad? We won't know until it's too late.
I don't share this worry about my Dad. I have almost a carbon copy of his voice which is distinctive. Also I have tiny teeth just like my Dad. However, I once knew a guy who knew just about for sure that his son wasn't biologically his son. It happened while he was in the navy and was out at sea for months away from his wife. He has accepted what happened but I can tell he does have something of a grudge against his son.
Albert of Monaco, his serene highness (gag). Yes, and those children are all of colour. Thanks, Al, for being part of the solution. No surprise though, his sister has three (4?) children by as many fathers (Stephanie).
Regarding the UK Royals, I meant the ever present curiousity that Andrew might not be Philip's own.
I suppose all those years of royal in breeding are resulting in genetic rebellion.
How cheap do you want? A couple hundred dollars is what they cost, but you can't use the results in court. Although I did hear of one man taking the cheap test results to the child support agency and getting his child support obligation cut.
They don't even need blood to work, just scrape some cells from inside the cheeks (mouth cheeks) onto a little swab and send them to be tested.
You can even use hair you pulled from a comb or brush, but I think those are more expensive.
But if you do it, and the test comes out negative, and your wife ever finds out about it, you're mud.
