See, this is why I'm never going to America.

GOP intelligent and thoughtful? Ho, good one.

This is... utterly horrible. Personally, I think divorce should always be legal, because there's always going to be pressure to get married before you have sex, or when you start having kids. Sure, divorce can be tough on kids, but I think it's tougher to force two people to stay together, creating a hostile and abusive environment. Believe me, I'm really, really glad that my parents divorced.

How do any of these people have jobs

Oh come on, even super religious people don't care about getting divorced anymore.

I find it interesting how some attempt to "protect the sanctity of marriage" when at this point that sanctity has been utterly shat upon. There is nothing to protect anymore as far as sanctity goes.

Had it not been for my parents' divorce, I honestly feel sick at thinking of where my mom, brother, and I would be right now. Divorce sucks, but sadly and realistically, it really can be necessary in some scenarios.

[quote]MILWAUKEE- There is new fallout from a state Senator's controversial bill that compares accidental pregnancies to child abuse. While a colleague comes to state Sen. Glenn Grothman's defense -- others say the stats don't support the claims. Senator Grothman is getting most of the attention, but Representative Don Pridemore is a co-sponsor of the bill. In the wake of the controversy, he stands by putting his name on it -- but health officials say what's in the bill, isn't always what they see. Senator Grothman claims there's an epidemic of single parenthood, and he's pointing a finger at women for it. "There's been a huge change over the last 30 years, and a lot of that change has been the choice of women," said Senator Grothman. The backlash has put his bill under a microscope. Specifically, it cites non-marital parenthood as a contributing factor in child abuse. The bill's co-sponsor, Representative Don Pridemore, told TODAY'S TMJ4 he thinks even in abusive relationships, there are other options than divorce. "If they can refind those reasons and get back to why they got married in the first place it might help," said Representative Don Pridemore. Health officials are firing back, saying while two parents might be ideal, it's not always a healthy reality. Dr. Geoffrey Swain of the Milwaukee Health Department is also a professor at the UW-Madison. He says surrounding a child with an unhealthy marriage can lead to not only abuse, but depression and anxiety. "To the contrary one of the risk factors for child abuse and neglect is poor quality of marriage," said Dr. Geoffrey Swain. "Marriage actually has nothing to do with it, it's the quality of the relationship that matters in terms of the child's health." Pridemore says he thinks a single woman can take care of a family in some situations -- but he thinks fathers are usually the disciplinarians and without that, "kids tend to go astray."[/quote] Teehee, people assuming the bill will outlaw single parenthood or divorce. Teehee.

Single parenthood maybe, nobody wants a kid as a result of Bang Bros.

I cannot comprehend how this is possible.

2012 is sounding more and more plausible with each day.

[QUOTE=FrankOfArabia;35149238]Single parenthood maybe, nobody wants a kid as a result of Bang Bros.[/QUOTE] hey so there are people stupid enough to listen to them

People like this should not be allowed to breed. Jesus christ.

I would have linked the article that fark.com was discussing with but it didnt seen to be a credible source.
