Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?

The actual objective I have in mind is to talk about how parents could stop hurting their children by doing negligent things to them. So you believe it is the specific circumstances of conception that happened years earlier that uniquely harms children and not the fact that they are being raised in...

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?

Ken, it's possible to say that something is evil, bad, or negligent without me proposing model legislation and a regulatory regime. It seems to me that almost every conversation I have with you about a moral issue devolves into you wanting to talk about government policy. I don't think government p...

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?

Still, "should they be" is a different question from "how should they be." The two questions go hand in hand. One can't answer the first question in the affirmative without answering the second one. The question isn't "is out-of-wedlock birth immoral or a sin?" No is i...

Re: Poll: Putin and Ukraine

I'll believe what Ukrainians and Russian-speaking Ukrainians have told me face-to-face over what Ken's opinions posted here are. I have both Russian and Ukrainian-speaking refugee students in my classes right now. I'm sure they would be happy to set you straight when it comes to the actions of Russ...

Re: Poll: Putin and Ukraine

What isn't true? That Russia invaded because Ukraine was persecuting Russian speakers. They overwhelmingly elected one. So you don't think what was written here is true? www.reddit.com/r/AskARussian/comments/tevi3b/comment/i0sp0o7/ The claim in the title of the reddit link is "not allowing Rus...

Re: MennoNet and Genealogy

I just learned that my wife and I are seventh cousins. I'm supposedly a descendent of Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I of Habsburg who dealt ruthlessly with my spiritual forbearers. But after researching it more for a couple hours, there is really no good proof of this currently. He is supposed, by s...

Re: Poll: Putin and Ukraine

The U.S. has never had an “official” language .. The US has no official language at the Federal level, but a majority of states have made English their official language at the state level. And only 3 states recognize any other official languages other than English. Hawaii recognizes native Hawaiia...

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?

That wasn't my concern. My concern was reducing children born out of wedlock . Can you please stay on topic? Dig deeper. WHY in your mind are children born out of wedlock a problem in this country? Previously you cited statistics that children of single parents do worse on average than children in ...

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?

This thread is about single parent families. No, it isn't. I made a reference to people who intentionally choose to fornicate and thus create a child outside of a loving marriage. You keep trying to muddy the waters by talking about all kinds of other irrelevant situations like an adoptive or foste...
