The General Political Thread

[StevenChilton]

I was raised by a single mother and I’ve turned out fine

Congratulations, but I don't accept anecdotal evidence.

[Cazasar]

Pretty much.

I was very pro-gay marriage, it's a valuable institution, but I'm not so keen on gay adoption. It's highly desirable for children to have both a male and female role model.

But gay parents are better then no parents.

Congratulations, but I don't accept anecdotal evidence.

And where is your evidence?

The entire course of human evolution. Yours?

That’s hardly evidence, is it? Give me some numbers and proof please instead of making generalised statements.

How about you offer proof that the alternatives to the nuclear family are superior? I'm arguing for the status quo so the onus is on you to justify the change.

I didn't say it's superior, I'm just saying that it's possible for a child to be raised outside of the traditional family and still have a good life. My life is proof of that fact.

[StevenChilton]

So you accept that the nuclear family is preferable and we shouldn't celebrate its decline?

[Toffee]

So you accept that the nuclear family is preferable and we shouldn't celebrate its decline?

I don’t believe either one is preferable and I don’t celebrate the downfall of the nuclear family.

[Edwin]

Ah, the decline of the father figure in addition to the decline of religious belief and the rule of law. Where have I heard this mentioned before?

But gay parents are better then no parents.

That’s the best argument for gay adoption, tbh

Tbf orphans should just be adopted by the military at age 7 and go through experimental procedures to augment their physical abilities. After this they get their own exosuits and become the most lethal killing machines on the planet.
