Scalia Wonders If Same-Sex Parents ‘Harmful’ To Children

Most of these boys I'm referring are straight. Boys should grow up to be men, not girly men.


How many gays/lesbians do we have in the U.S.? How many of them were raised by opposite-sex parents? The vast majority, right? If you don't like homosexuality, don't allow straight people to procreate -- they're producing the vast majority of gays.

What does that have to do with my post? I'm asking what is causing this behavior in young boys and you accuse me of being homophobic? Get over yourself.
 
Now are the leftists and gays just so convinced they are going to win that they think they are going to win 9-0 as well. LOL.

I am neither a leftist or a 'gay'. But I understand the Constitution and it's intent. Yeah, they screwed up at first with equality, and it took a long time to correct those mistakes. Eventually they will all be fixed, regardless of the bible thumpers.

I know what I think the final decisions should be, but who knows which way they will go, if they decide anything at all.
 
Perhaps you just don't have anything to say and should stop posting.

You suggest that boys are acting "girlier" because you noticed it, as if it's a fact? And you suggest I should stop posting?

Asking such an inane question such as yours will get that type of reaction.

Nice touch.:agree
 
I just somehow doubt that being raised by a single mom or two women without a father figure in sight is good at raising men. Call me what you will for that, but I think the evidence is out there that shows I'm right.

Well then it should be easy for you to find and post here.
 
Which bring's home the point: why is the state in the marriage business in the first place?

Because the people want the state to be in the marriage business? Why shouldn't they be?

There is nothing wrong with my question. Do you think only gay men can act girly? If so, wouldn't that say more about you than me?

Girly men? before you give anyone advice, grow up ...

Property and money.

When you say the state shouldn't be in the marriage business you're saying that if someone dies without a will....everything should just...sit there...that there shouldn't be any rules establishing a next-of-kin, no rules on inheritance, not rules on selling estate assets to pay medical bills....nothing. The only owner died and so now no one owns it so it just sits there.

Well I guess if no one owns it, then the next door neighbors can just walk over and stake their claim like back in the wild west days, right?

this idea of girly men is part of the problem ... it even gets some kids beaten up, and even killed ... so why not stop referring to kids in this way?
 
What do you have in mind?
I don't know what you're asking. This is based on What If's random comment in post 229, so I guess you should ask him, see if he wants to explore it.

I don't, I've discussed Loving dozens of time on DP. There's nothing new to be said.

The term "girly men" originated, to my recollection, in a Saturday Night Live skit that was thoroughly heterosexual. Just sayin' . . .:eek:
 
Once again Scalia is full of crap ... How many decisions by Scalia will it take for people to realize that he has an agenda and rules principally on his religious and other believes? Look up activist judge and his picture appears next to it. In the first place, there is not that much disagreement at all among sociologists on this question. His comment was misleading at best. The evidence suggests that there is little, if any difference, in how well the kids turn out relative to kids raised by straight parents. A recent article that came out suggesting that kids raised by gay parents don't turn out as well, was deeply flawed (and funded by two conservative organizations) and has been taken to task by other social scientists. We still need more data, but what we have thus far suggests that the harm is no less and no more. Why don't we ask, "Are opposite-sex harmful to their kids?"

If you really think that way, why not be consistent. How does all that NOT apply equally to most of the other justices? Has Ginsburg ever made anything but a politically liberal ruling? Have you heard her speak outside the bench? She a flaming liberal - extreme left wing. And yet no scorn placed upon her for ruling from her political bent.

You hate him because his politics are different than yours, that's the length and breadth of it. And that's where all this vitriol against Scalia is coming from.
 
Do you think only gay men can act girly? If so, wouldn't that say more about you than me?

You have to love the circular logic here. You pose the original question and I paraphrase "Why are more boys acting girly? And now you ask me if only gay men can act girly?

You can't make this **** up.

I remember it and it was to have fun with Arnold ... they ridiculed it ... Henrin wasn't ...

I hate Scalia because he's using his bully pulpit to espouse intolerance. His behavior is without personal consequence.

Regardless of what HE said, YOU said this:

Whites could marry other races,just not blacks specifically, and other races could marry without limit. The restriction shot down by Loving v. Virginia was specifically about blacks and whites. No other races. Whites could still marry Latinos if they wanted...just not blacks.

That's why that ban was struck down.

If the restriction were broad, requiring both parties to be of the same race in order to marry, regardless of the race, the law would likely have stood.

But that is not to be found in the case. You say it is. I linked you to the annotated case for you to demonstrate where.

Mountain out of misunderstood molehill.

You don't know a thing about Scalia other than what you've read in left-wing rags. The chances that you've ever read an opinion he's written are slim to none.

Good afternoon, Jerry.

The authorities in charge since Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden have always had rules concerning division of property. it probably happened the day after the first lawyer discovered they could also legalize a cut for themselves and their coffers, and it continues to this day...:2dancing:
