When you can't make them see the light, make them feel the heat.

If morals defined society, then society could never change the same flaws would exist forevermore. How do you define "progress"? Some things which you call progression, I call regression. Morality wouldn't heavily effect technological advancements, or anything like that. And similarly, what do you define as "flaws" in terms of a moral society...? Quote: I don't care about a "father figure." The nuclear family is a sexist, outdated structure that needs modification. Does the father always need to work? Does the wife always need to have the same roles of cooking, cleaning, child care, and other roles previously associated with the wife? Does the father need to work, or can he stay home and care for the kids? Does the father need to be the disciplinary figure? Does the mother need to be subordinate to the father? When you refer to "father figure," you refer to the nuclear family structure and obsolete sexist ideas. Father figure refers to an authority figure in the family. Does it actually have to be the father? No. But a family with 2 parents, one being the provider, the other caring for the family/home, regardless of which one does it, is the best way to raise kids. I don't want to throw this into a gay marriage debate, but in certain ways, even gay couples can try and simulate a nuclear family. But back on the issue of premarital sex, all it has is ONE parent, struggling to provide for a kid she just downloaded. She has to work to make money. She can't work and take care of the kids at the same time. The kids only have one parent to look up to. This sort of thing is plaguing African American communities right now, with the destruction of the family. You can't tell me that a single working mother can raise a child better than nuclear family, which works FAR better than this situation. And as for you bringing up Oprah... Sure, its possible for good, productive people to come out of a broken family. Is it as common? Hell no. I can't believe you would even try and imply that.
