America's crisis is a lack of fathers.

jimintoronto...Wow, I was surprised how quickly you pulled out the 'primary Liberal' attack word used against those that disagree with you, 'racist'! Shame on you! I had hoped you were better than that, but you actually are not, just another angry liberal...​

As a Canadian, you know nothing about American Citizens or how deeply we honor that blessing in our lives. When foreigners sneak into our country, ignoring our laws and requirements to become citizen's, we are offended and want them to be thrown out of our country and told to get in line behind the thousands of people now in line waiting to become American citizens.​

This does not apply to any particular race or nationality only to those who come into our country illegally. And yes, that includes Canadians also! It is not important to me that you do not like how we run our country, as you have nothing to say about it!

U.S. has world's highest rate of children living in single-parent ...
https://www.pewresearch.org › fact-tank › 2019/12/12

Dec 12, 2019 —
"Almost a quarter of U.S. children under the age of 18 live with one parent and no other adults (23%), more than three times the share of children around the world who do so (7%). The study, which analyzed how people’s living arrangements differ by religion, also found that U.S. children from Christian and religiously unaffiliated families are about equally likely to live in this type of arrangement.

In comparison, 3% of children in China, 4% of children in Nigeria and 5% of children in India live in single-parent households. In neighboring Canada, the share is 15%."
 
Our economic policies over the past 50 or so years decimated the middle class, which is highly correlated with the increase in single-mother births and single parent households. Correlation is not necessarily causation, but in this case, it could be.

The same policies *might* correlate with the increasing national debt starting around the same time.

Em, thanks for calling him out on this. I did not have to edit anything, he just made it up. It is always troubling when folks tell lies to try and justify what they say!

Still waiting to hear from jimintoronto so he can apologize for changing my words so he can justify his rude accusation!

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.​

... 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.

It should concern everyone that the increase in single-parent homes lines up perfectly with an increase in teen pregnancies, robberies, school drop-out rates, poverty, the cost of social programs, domestic violence, child abuse, drug addiction, auto-thefts, gangs, the national debt, the social-security crisis, the unemployment rate, and I probably could go on.

If you want to see graphs, go to ourworldindata.org or just look it up. Our World in Data is only one site where you can find pertinent graphs.

The massive deficits and resultant soaring debt began in the 1980s, so more like 40 years. In 1981, the debt was about 1 trillion dollars. By 1989, it had tripled to three trillion.

There's a theory that says people started out very much on the brown side and those of us who moved north gradually lightened up so they could absorb the necessary amount of vitamin D from the limited sunshine up there. Homogeny could be detrimental. :oops:

Theory: As the polar ice caps melt, humankind will have to flee to inland equatorial regions where we will re-evolve into that really gorgeous shade of brown. (-;

That's were all the existing evidence shows humankind began.

What continent did early humans begin on?

Eastern Africa

"The earliest humans developed out of australopithecine ancestors after about 3 million years ago, most likely in Eastern Africa, most likely in the area of the Kenyan Rift Valley, where the oldest known stone tools were found."

How fortunate I was: I treasure the memory of my father, with his common sense and compassionate views. He didn't let nationalism, nor racism, limit the number of friends welcomed into our home to dine at our table. Happy Father's Day.

I wasn't trying to call him out. I'm just a bit fussy about accurate quotations, especially on this forum. It sometimes gets confusing as to who said what, but this mistake was pretty glaring.

Instead, they should say it "can be" a contributing factor. But it's more about how parents approach their kids than how many (parents) there are.

That's more or less what happened a few centuries ago when Europeans and others claimed the land from the natives that were living there.

It was not illegal then! Nothing 'more or less about it' Our Congress and Presidents wanted immigration to build our population...

Immigration laws are established by our Congress and approved by the President. They can be changed anytime by Congress. Until or unless they are changed, our Justice Department should be actively enforcing these laws! If they, don't it is a major breach of our laws and the Justice Department, and their leaders should be held accountable by Congress! It is not some much about the illegals as it is about our laws and enforcement there of!

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.

Can't comment on other states but in California parents generally share custody, 50/50. It's been this way for a long time.

Yeah I guess stealing land and murdering people wasn't 'illegal' back then... :cautious:

No, you are trying to start a mouth battle. He already explained his position. Why can’t you accept it and move on? Because you want to begin a tirade of e-mails that only causes members to leave the forum.

Even inferring someone may be a racist is not a good thing to do. Many of us take these offensive remarks very seriously. Time for you to take a break, please.

This person may or may not be a racist. We don’t know and therefore should not be accusatory. I have often heard that people who accuse you of being something is what they are. It’s called deflection. His statements are debatable. Keep it at that. Have an open and honest discussion, but never jump to conclusions. We should respect each other’s viewpoints, unless they proven they truly are what you think they are.

Maybe listening to this short YouTube will give us all a little something to think about.
