    Ineffabitily is not limited to deities.

    As to the differences and how they relate to a child's development; the female is a mother and the male is a father. Mothers are not irrelevant. Mothers are crucial because they are mothers. Fathers are not irrelevant. Fathers are crucial because they are fathers. And this ongoing and overtly hostile quest to delegitimize either or both in the name of some new age version of a progressive society is political correctness taken to the most absurd level and contrary to the most basic tenets of humanity. Are we truly at a stage in our evolution where, if we cannot present the value of a human being on a flow chart or a page of statistics, that human value is then considered irrelevant and not only to be ignored, but attacked? Ouch. Take that logic far enough and the family itself could be disolved and our children raised in government camps because the "Holy Trinity" of science, statistics, and ice cold logic would back the idea 100%.

    I suspect this obsession to neuter society (at the cost of children, mothers, and fathers) for the sake of some perceived benefit of "equality" is - thank God - a transient minority view that will go the way of the Macarena and the pet rock. I look forward to its demise and will celebrate its fall with great gladness.

    It'd just be a lot more convincing if you could summon even a single bit of support for this claim instead of just making it over and over.

    Are tampons really this much of a mystery?

    Is that why there are all of this terrible jokes about going to buy them?

    Is this why gay people can't adopt? A sufficent amount of the household has to be uncomfortable around feminine products?

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Good Lord, five-cents worth of light-hearted humour in a short story and the wheels come right off the truck around here.

    I really believe all of this has descended into the most twisted of Monty Pythonesque unrealities.

    I deeply apologize for not having a flow chart to show the importance of a father to a child. And I am sad that I lack a thick book of statistics to prove the crucial nature of a mother to a child. And I am grieved beyond words that I lack a Powerpoint presentation to demonstrate the very human goodness of a child having both a mother and a father in its life.

    But then again, what makes me sad most of all, is that anyone would actually need those things.

    And that I can readily accept.

    The long lost art of intuition, science be damned. If it doesn't feel right something must be wrong. And you all know he's right

    Question, singles can be excellent parents. Would you prefer a single parent over a gay couple or vica versa

    LOL, them yankee boys were licking their chops and rode the one guy who agreed with the waitress for all he was worth

    Then casually mention that blue state New York only 1/4 as many people stand up to the waitress (taking into account sample size)

    Ridiculous media is ridiculous

    And the quotes from that yankee scum make my blood boil "we're here to eat" OMG How does one live?

    The setup actually made Texans look more empathetic than New Yorkers, which defies stereotypes and is generally heartwarming to see.
