For my part at least, I think it's quite understandable that you feel a mother and father is better, and I'm perfectly willing to accept that as a legitimate opinion, even if it's not one I find convincing. The thing that bothers me is that you seem unwilling to extend the same courtesy to those of us who disagree with you. You have expressed shock and disbelief that anyone could have a reasonable opinion other than your own, and questioned the rationality, motives, and life experiences of those of us who do. It's disrespectful, and not something I'd have expected from you. I'm also concerned that you're willing to blatantly disregard the scientific method and community in its entirety, treating something that has made such huge contributions to our modern standard of living as so much 'pixie dust.' You're not the only person in this world, Beirut.
