That's one of the worst arguments I have ever heard

Scripted TV shows are a reliable source, amirite?

Why does this argument get used so much forgetting the amount of kids with single parents? Though I can't use myself as an example as I'm quite insane.

Kids born to mothers out of wedlock tend to be worse off than those born to a married couple. If you control for single parenthood, the crime differences between blacks and whites basically disappears....

Is that taking into account prostitutes, the responsibilty level of the parents, etc.?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I doubt if prostitutes make up a large number of illegitimate births. Haha. And I would imagine women who have children out of wedlock tend to have less responsibility then those who get married. But that would be a fair factor to count.

...This was suppose to be a joke.

Oh, tag it in jokes. It will turn positive soon if you do.

Err...how do you tag posts? This new amirite is confusing.

Bottom right hand corner of your post, there should be a little thing that pops up. Click on that and then type "Jokes" and hit enter.

Yeah, I gotta say, this is pretty stupid, even if was a joke. People who say that gays shouldn't adopt shouldn't look at TV shows, or that fact that Jesus has two dads, or the Lion King or whatever - they should look at statistics that indicate that children raised by same-sex parents are just as happy, just as emotionally healthy, perform just as well at school, etc., as those raised by opposte-sex parents.

If that is the reason they don't let gays adopt kids then singles and divorcees shouldn't be able to either

And then look at the Olson twins today...

I've literally never heard anyone use that argument.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

No way, because the argument sucks.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I haven't heard about Full House since over 10 years ago. Times have changed.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

The argument sucks, but gay people are just as capable, if not more capable, than single parents. Jus' sayin'

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I like that argument. It takes an "I can do it" approach rather than an "I can't help it."

If conservatives can use TV to say it can turn children transgendered/gay and that it's harmful to their growth, liberals should be able to use TV to prove them wrong.

They did have Becky on that show.
