So what? We as a nation don't sanctify same sex marriage.
Appeal to majority. That was the 3rd of the 5 points I presented earlier in this thread. You really aren't doing yourself any favors by proving my point by actually using the fallacious arguments that I said you would use.
Yes, I know. All evidence that you can't distort to fit your position is utter nonsense. :roll:
So what if you're disgsuted and children risk the most harm without both natural parents at home.
Charles you have no idea what the hell you are talking about.
You have no evidence to suggest that both sexes are necessary to raising a child. All you have is evidence that children raised by two parents are better off than children raised by one parent.
The only thing you can use single parent stats for is to argue that single parent families are at a disadvantage to two parent families. You cannot isolate the variable of the effect of not having one gender or the other in those families. Of course, you can prove me wrong. Just account for these variables...
1. Not having two incomes (because there are two parents as opposed to one)
2. Not having twice as much attention from parents (because there are two parents as opposed to one)
If you can prove that those two variables are not more likely to contribute to the disadvantages faced by children in single parent homes then I'll concede defeat. But I already know you can't do it, particularly because there are studies that compare single parent homes to same sex homes and find that the children of same sex homes are better off.
I'm clearly not convinced this is true. In fact, I know it ain't.
How do you know? The evidence indicates that children of gays and lesbians would benefit if same sex marriage was legal. You simply ignore that fact so that you can impose your "standards" and deem those families inferior without any evidence to support your position.
EXACLTY! No better and no worse. So....no father in the home would impact 'gay' families just as severely huh? And no Mother...no female living in the home would bring just as much strife...huh. And the step parent risk factors...that is the same with 'gay' couples as well, huh?
That makes no sense. The "no better or worse" statement means that children raised in same sex families turn out pretty much the same as those in different sex families. You are distorting the statement.
Or...you could ridiculously argue that as long as two parents are there.....gender isn't a factor whatsoever. And that would be lying to yourself, because nearly all of us having this conversation...have either a mother or a father that could NEVER be replaced by another female or male mcuh less pretend a father could mother or vice versa.
I am stating right here and right now and I challenge you to provide proof to indicate otherwise
not based on single parent statistics that
gender is not a factor whatsoever.
It is your argument that leaves children behind, your blindness that pretends gender deosn't matter. It does.
My "blindness" is based on evidence and reason. Unlike you who has to distort statistics and statements to support your perverted position. It's people like you who do the most harm in society because you refuse to accept reality for what it is simply because it does not agree with your religious sentiments. Both genders are not needed to raise a child! As long as there are two loving parents, it doesn't matter if they are different sexes or the same sexes, the children they raise will end up just the same. The fact that you ignore all the evidence that proves this to be true and choose to distort statistics of single parent homes to support your position, is proof of how blind you truly are. People like you hurt children.
