The Pope didn't stop cadaver dissection. All those things happend. I'm not seeing where morality made anything go backwards. Okay, and if Galileo didn't push his theory because of the morals and the individuals who dissected cadavers did the same, where would we be? If those morals weren't in place more people would openly do research and more people could've put more money into both and advance our technology. Sentenal Are those kids better off due to the divorce? Are those kids better off not having their single parent gone all day due to work? You talk about how a loving influence is the best way to have a family, and you talk about it like thats an alternative to a traditional one. Time will tell how much society has been damaged by the destruction of the family. As I've already said/you've ignored, the African American community has been plagued by it big time, and its only a matter of time till the entire country is. Loving and traditional can be synonymous. However, just because a family is traditional doesn't mean that it's loving. You're blaming the woes of the African American community on the destruction of family; however, I have provided a study which shows no side-effects to single parenting. You're not factoring in socio-economic factors when you say that the problem in the African American community is caused by a lack of traditional family. Sentenal According to that article, its not the number of parents in the family per se. Its economic issues and functional problems of the single parent family. Now, maybe I'm wrong, but maybe those economic issues comes from there being only one parent in the family trying to provide for themselves, their kids, and their life-style? And maybe those functional problems comes from the fact that there is only one parent trying to do all those things? lol? Could be, but that's generalizing about all single-parent families. Also, the fact the traditional family only has one income doesn't really support your argument about the economic woes of single-parenthood. Functional would be the only problem, but that's why I think it's a nuturing environment rather than a traditional family. Sentenal Not to mention its one study, going against conventional wisdom (the article even says that, btw, so its by no means fact). The article doesn't say that. Sentenal You bring up exceptions, and there are exceptions to just about anything. Most of the people I know who were brought up in a traditional family have turned out to be good adults. Should I just start listing off people like that? Exceptions? To what? :lol: Also, great, your friends had a nuturing environment in a traditional family structure, but that means nothing when the evidence clearly shows all that matters is the environment, not the style of family. Thugs can come from a traditional family; you're trying to set it into the ground that the traditional family is perfect and provides the environment when that isn't always the case.
