    Liberals instill hate crimes? How does that work, exactly?

    What label would you assign to someone who enters a black church and kills the people there simply because he hates blacks? Or that mass shooter who deliberately targeted Mexican immigrants in an El Paso Walmart they were known to frequent? If not hate crimes, then what?

    Having money and being a good parent are not codependent. Being a parent should be an absolute joy regardless of how much money one has. A lot of rich people are bad parents, and a lot of poor people manage to raise good, kind, productive human beings, even many of those who do so as single parents.

    This nonsense of waiting until you can afford them is just that: nonsense. In our society, it has led to women waiting until well into their thirties or forties to have children, which is not natural and has led to sharp increases in birth defects.

    Either you have it within you to be a good parent or you don't. Money is helpful, but riches aren't required as long as you can raise that child in love and some measure of comfort. Income enough to house, clothe, and feed yourself and your child are plenty.

    Do you mean Monica's blue dress?

    Whataboutism. Even Bill Clinton aka "Mr. Smarmy" was more honest and moral than Trump, and that's a low bar.

    Venker goes on to explain that of CNN’s list of the “27 Deadliest Mass Shootings In U.S. History, only one was raised by his biological father since childhood.

    “Indeed, there is a direct correlation between boys who grow up with absent fathers and boys who drop out of school, who drink, who do drugs, who become delinquent and who wind up in prison,” she writes. “And who kill their classmates.”

    Those children often had less chances for success and they still do. I'd show you the statics on single mother children but I know it won't do any good.

    The adult feeling good Trump's the children getting the best chance at life.
    Adultsanymore can't sacrifice for a greater good which when you juxtapose it with the generation that went to war against Germans it's telling.

    That would depend upon your definition of “good parenting” and “affordability”.

    And as an aside: is it really proper to use “love” and “should” as codependent concepts? I suspect not.

    I don’t know, ask the artist who painted the picture.
    And I would suggest Clinton was less evil far more than he was more moral.

    NOPE this ^^^ is a MADE UP in YOUR head! My POSTS have NOTHING to do with YOUR UTTERLY FALSE assertion!

    Unless you can quote where I was trying to tie HATE CRIMES to CHILDREN OUT OF WEDLOCK you should MOVE ALONG.

    I'm NOT going to DEBATE a person who makes FALSE assertions

    You didn't answer the question:

    You ACKNOWLEDGED that HATE CRIMES and SCHOOL SHOOTINGS were INCREASING so the obvious question is

    Do YOU think that SCHOOL SHOOTINGS and HATE CRIMES are MORAL or will EVER be viewed as MORAL??????

    School shootings will very no matter the time be viewed as a moral thing.

    School shootings are on the rise and there's no way that fact can be viewed as a positive indicator of our collective morals

    yep, exactly, many think it was always that way

    and of course forcing kids to recite "under God" in the pledge and see it on their money did nothing for morality

    Mexico has a much higher percent of Christians then we do, God is close to paving their streets with gold I am sure

    forcing two people that hate each other to stay married could be considered child abuse as the child needs a loving environment

    sometimes, often children with two parents that do not love each other have less chance for success too

    single parents can be good or bad parents.....

    There are countless studies comparing 2 parent households to 1 parent households and the 2 parent households are clearly better for the children

    depends on what is best for the child, you assume all parents are good parents

    sometimes divorce is what is best for the child

    it's not yours or my choice to make for others... I wish every child had two loving parents

    how many divorces did Trump have? how many baby mama's, was that child abuse?
