Kids raised with no father. This may be the societal problem that we must solve (Poll)

[XponentialChaos]

I asked you to state your ideas

If you have any its time to post them

I don’t see how that issue gets fixed.

No realistic ideas that I can see at the moment.

 

[Alan Stallion]

Your grandparents were probably old-fashioned and have traditional family values.
You sound responsible, I hope if/when you become a father you know how important it is to be there for the kids.

Absolutely on all points.

No realistic ones that I can think of.

So you just attack everyone else's ideas while having none of your own

You think unrealistic ideas shouldn’t be criticized for being unrealistic?

Maybe you’re just too sensitive.

 

[Correll]

It seems stupid and/or irresponsible for anyone (man or woman) to think they can have 'casual sex' in the first place. I know that is very unpopular to say these days though.

Stupid, irresponsible and completely common.

25m kids are being raised with no father in the household.
That is more than twice the populations of LA + NYC.

The Extent of Fatherlessness - National Center for Fathering

If it were classified as a disease, fatherlessness would be an epidemic worthy of attention as a national emergency. The impact of fatherlessness can be seen in our homes, schools, hospitals and prisons.

Black kids are 3x as likely not to have a dad in the house as white kids.

When I see the street criminals I can't help but wonder if a father would have made a difference.

So on Father's Day, not to criticize those who don't have the advantage of a father in the household, but just to see how those statistics work on the USMB. Was your father or step-father in your household when you were growing up?

You need a 3rd option for your poll...I had a father but it was not an advantage other than I guess he provided money for the family.

But as far as being a father I just choose to do everything the opposite of what he did. Worked out well.

Absolutely on all points.

Black grandparents have been stellar in helping out. It’s not their generation that engaged in family abandonment

Unless you have a better idea then you are comparing them to nothing

Seems to me that nothing happening and an unrealistic idea are equal. Both are nothing.

Of course I always want more

True welfare reform is difficult and painful

Maybe it will have to wait till the Dollar has no value at all and the world is no longer willing to buy US debt

It wont do any good for either side to say “I told you so” because practically 99% of us will be 100 times worse off than we ate today

Neat. Still not happening.

What?

That America can never suffer the same fate of other great nations that lost their way?

Dont bet the rent money on that

I didn’t say that.

I said we won’t eliminate welfare.

Why do you say it is an advantage?

Lots of people have had shit fathers.

My father was a deadbeat alcoholic who completely abandoned me. I was better off without him.

True

But we can target able bodied adults and reduce it by up to 80%

Let me know when Republicans push something like that.
