Sharon,
That is about the most ignorant post I think I've ever read.
Frankly, in the world I live in, it's people like you that are the real problem.
You have no idea what its like outside your own little life bubble. And worse, you seem to have no desire to find out. Because maybe you won't like what you find, or maybe your not secure enough in your own convictions to be able to handle true debate, or perhaps its just pure hatred and stubborness.
I'm not poor now, but there was a time in my life when government cheese and powdered milk were the staple of my diet. So if you'd like to discuss poverty, why don't you stop by this winter as I'll once again be sleeping out on the street to raise money and awareness to the plight of the homeless.
My father once told me that he never wanted to have kids, my mother never saw a single support check, and I only found out about his death by a wierd coincidence. So how dare you assume that I'm not the best damn father in this city. But if you'd like to discuss parenting, why don't you stop by the Pokemon pre-release tournament on August 24th. I'll be there with my son, playing along side.
And for your information, I don't personally know any other fathers that shirk their responsibilities. But not because I don't know any other fathers, but because when I see a friend not facing the music, I confront him, just as I would expect him to confront me. I talk with him, and listen to him, and together we find a better way to take care of our families. So if you'd like to talk about moral fortitude, why don't you come over to my church (Pilgrim Saint Paul), I'm there quite often, between helping with the praise team, teaching sunday school and volunteering for other projects as needed.
You can take your "Old time feminism" and shove it right up your... on second thought, don't bother, it might not fit until you take your head out first.
Not only do I shop for groceries, but I cook, I bake, I do dishes, the laundry, and clean my fair share of the house, every morning I wake up early to get my son packed and ready for school, and every night I try to make time to read or play a game with him. My wife and I are a team, because we figured out long ago that sticking to any pre-concieved notion of parental roles didn't take advantages of our strengths and certainly didn't cover enough of our own weaknesses.
You just go right ahead assuming that anyone that doesn't believe your line of crap is uneducated or uncaring. Your conceit, divissive attitide and ego will never solve a single problem you claim to care about. But while you're doing that, don't worry your little empty head. The rest of us will be out here continuing to find ways to solve the issues that leave people hungry, bridging the gaps in education, filling the void in healthcare, and fighting to be good neighbors and kind friends.
Creep in, creep out.
Nice try, but I don't creep. I'm right here, putting my name on my thoughts and defending my arguments.
If you ever really want to debate this or any other topic, you name the place and time, and I'll be there.
