Will you please post where you get these statistics from? I am not disputing them, yet. I would like to see if the numbers are anywhere close to accurate and how they were derived. It's sounds very (too) high to me. Unless they were taken from a census, I don't see how they can be accurate but you can prove it too me. Thanks Fred.

Thank you Fred. I see the numbers are from reputable sources. Good find.

I see the page or org. is titled Fathers for Life. I only wish you would include that in your postings. It appears to me that it is the fathers that run out on their families in more cases than a mother does. Young men need to be taught just as much (or more) as young females.

Only in the area of nurturing and homemaking, but Fred, these kids are fatherless because the father either ran out or he didn't assume the responsibility as a father in the first place. I am not removing blame from All women because I know there are some foolish females that had no business being a mother but for the ones that were married to the fathers and the father took off and left his family.... It happens and you know this. Men should be taught the importance of bringing a life in this world and what makes for a healthy child. Your statistics are higher for the fatherless homes, not motherless homes. You really need to reexamine your argument. If you would make a balanced and realistic argument about how children become fatherless, I would back you up. Blaming the female is not only inaccurate but the message is getting missed. Ask any female or male that grew up in a fatherless home, and you will find more times than not, the father/man took the easy way OUT.

I won't use your thread to argue with you. I think you have something important to say, you are just not speaking to the right people. Fatherless children are not the result of wh0res. Women make mistakes but they are the ones that will take on the responsibility while the a man runs out of his part. You see this very one-sided Fred and you are looking from the wrong side. There are very good men out there that do their parts but unfortunately, there are males out there that need to keep it in their pants and you would be better heard it you acknowledge that.

And by your examples Fred of a whinny pus that does nothing but complain about the female, reinforces our deserved rights as a woman. By your above reasons, it also speaks highly for gay rights. You would be better served by loving your own kind and stop with your sour and bitter argument that only proves your dislike for the female gender.

You are taught by example? You need to be true to yourself and select an alternative lifestyle because you are not the man to form a balanced and healthy relationship with a woman nor be teaching men nor woman any positive productive lessens. Sorry, but you give a very poor and unfair argument for any good intentions. You are filled and blinded with your own personal blame that you "can't see the forest through the trees."

Oh.... and thanks for "letting" us vote.

Very lucky indeed that they don't have to put up with you as a father, Fred.
