America's crisis is a lack of fathers.

Now I live in Tennesee. Did live in Michigan.

Father's Day is this weekend but as we celebrate we must not forget the millions of children who are growing up without a dad in the home.​

As our country commemorates Father’s Day this weekend, it is important that we recognize the millions of children throughout our nation who are growing up without their fathers. Data from the United States Census Bureau shows that nearly 18.5 million children grow up without their fathers, which has in return led to the United States owning the title of the world’s leader in fatherlessness.

No, actually the problem is a lack of babies! Birthrates have been declining for years, we have not been replacing the people who are dying for years. Our population continues to grow based on legal immigration coupled with illegal immigration. As a society we are doomed to be taken over by people who are not American citizens.

That sounds a lot like the slogan voiced by the Proud Boys, a far right wing terrorist group, where they claim that "white people are being replaced by evil others ". Do you REALLY believe that nonsense ? link to Proud Boys website. Read their official stance, for your self. WATCH: White supremacists chant 'Jews will not replace us' in Charlottesville (ynetnews.com) OK Timewise, now you can either side with these idiots, or take back your statement. Choose. JimB.

Check the data! I belong to know groups....
 
I think guys get a raw deal at times. And before there's 8,000 posts, yes, men do have other privileges. But when it comes to family court, mom rules. In the vast majority of divorces, who gets the kids? Why don't dads get the kids 50% of the time? Men don't have any say over their unborn children. Men are required to pay "child support" for 18 years, but they have little guarantee they will see their kids during those years. I believe the family court marginalizes fathers.
 
Today, about 40% of the children being born are being raised by single mothers....with little or no support from their male "sperm donors". The majority of those children are being raised in or near poverty conditions. Many of them wind up being "educated" on the streets, and wind up contributing to our increasing crime rates.

IMO, those Males who spread their "sperm" and take little or no responsibility for raising their children should be offered a free and mandatory vasectomy.

All criminals should be rendered sterile. Criminal behaviour is often passed on from father to son. Children grow up thinking certain behaviour is acceptable, and copy what their fathers did.
...and before someone accuses me of being a Nazi....we are all living in the same society so we are all affected by crime. We are entitled to do whatever is necessary to protect ourselves.
 
And so they sit all day looking at their smarphones and live a loner life with few if any friends. Some of them figure that society really "sucks" and people "suck." Some of them get the idea that if they take a gun and eliminate some of those people, they are doing the world some good. Since they have no father nor no friends to tell them anything different; they go out and do it and become some sort of sick, twisted celebrity on the 6 o'clock news. Such is our high speed, consumer oriented society looking to live the life of the so called "American Dream" which, if you ask me, is fast becoming the American Nightmare!
 
Here again we have such cultural differences. The role the father differs around the world, and so many things factor in on how children are raised. Mothers have instictually nutured their babies. The father protects and provides. Our world is filled with different rearing "parents". Father's are not to blame for a broken culture. I lived in the NY City ghetto. About 5% have fathers present. It didn't matter to the children if their dad was there or not, because if they were they still needed public assistance.
 
Maybe more single women should choose to abort when they don't have the means to take care of a child. Of course, that may not be an option in the near future. It already isn't in some states.

I think that situation has been over for a long time (there used to be laws giving preference to the mothers but that changed long ago). From what I've read, nowadays fathers win custody in court a little more than 50% of contested cases, and the reason most of the time women get custody is because the fathers agree/want the mother to have custody and don't contest it.

"Beginning in the 1970s a major swing in custody law sharply reversed what had been a well-entrenched preference for mothers. Most states adopted laws conferring an equal status on the custodial rights of mother and father with a favorable attitude toward joint custody."
 
Sill waiting to hear from Timewise 60, who I challenged about his statement that VERY closely matched a hate slogan espoused by the far right wing racist group The Proud Boys ? I gave him a chance to explain his "member ship in known groups " which he wrote as some kind of explanation. I am still waiting for Timewise 60 to declare himself a racist, or to renounce his remarks about "America being invaded by evil immigrants and foreigners ". Lets see how long it takes for him to reply ??? To be perfectly clear, I am calling out this person, based on their words in this thread. If you missed it, go back to the beginning and read the thread from the start. JimB.

So you are in favor of castrating men who have been convicted of the serious felony of gambling, or credit card fraud ? Can you also apply your middle ages torture to Women, who have been convicted of similar felonies ?? I can hardly wait to hear from the Sisterhood on this forum, about that atrocious idea. Lets rip out Angela's womb, for she has been convicted of car theft, or using heroin. ARE YOU SERIOUS ? You obviously have NOT thought this through , at all. JimB.

I hope they do not reply to you. Disappointed in you for this type of calling out.

I was not a fatherless child but I was a child that my biological male chose not to be a father to four of the children he bore with my mother. He left all four of us (plus my mother) when I was two and my oldest sister was about six. He never tried to touch our lives as we grew. He did not financially assist us for any part of our lives. I was the only child that kept attempting to “know” him. About a year ago his time was near. I had hoped he would reach out but upon my arrival he said “I wish it would have been my mother rather than me”. It was then that I was there to help his current wife see him to the other side. I believed I honored my grandparents (his dead parents) for being there for his natural passing.

Thanks for the update. back in the late 1930s my dad got custody of his two kids, my 'steps'.. His ex had issues. That was extremely rare.

I'm not sure that some racists even realize they are racist, but their comments tell it all. You called it right! (y)

Nice try to slide off the point. Are you a racist ? Do you really support the idea that Americans are being displaced by evil immigrants ? What " known groups " do YOU belong to ? JimB.

Well, timewise may or may not be wrong,
but you jim are definitely wrong and mis-quoting him to boot.
Not "known" groups, but "know" groups.
He belongs to "no groups", see? Phonetic/ voice to text does not always get it right, right ?
