    "Former"? You were only a stepparent for a limited time?
    A mere "moment"? So you immediately disowned the child or did the child disown you? I am a parent of 4 children minus one who died of cancer so I probably know much more than you about being a parent. It isn't for a moment. It is for life.

    I'm not a democrat. I'd stick around if I could.

    Maybe you should learn to read, and not only see what you want.

    and I quote "as being a former stepparent, I can say that being a parent was one of the best moments in my entire life. It was one of the best things I ever did. I'd still be there for them if I could be, but once their mother and I broke up, she wouldn't let me see or talk to them, and I wasn't either one of the biological fathers, so I had no right."

    Netwons 3rd law of relativity, it's quite fun to me intellectually.

    For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

    caues and effect. Trump and Biden, Both parties are corrupt in American, but in order to gut both of them, one must gut first thee most corrupt party, first.

    then after gutting that party, one may gut the other one, threw democracy.

    It becomes a lot harder to do so, especially when both parties love their money and power, and will to do anything and everything to hold on to that. Even if it means betraying their country, on both sides of thee spectrum.

    One is a personal issue the other is a societal issue. The vaccine is necessary for societal wellbeing not dissimilar to why there are mandated road rules

    I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
    Maybe I should learn to read or maybe you ought to learn to write or express yourself in a way that is coherent ... and at least learn how to clarify yourself if your words are misunderstood.
    So you think that I want to misunderstand you? Oh boy, you're a gem!
    And it's still clear what you mean by that.
    Why didn't you try to make that clear in your first paragraph above instead of criticizing my reading ability? You see, it wasn't my ability to read that was the problem. It is your inability to make your position clear from the very start that's at fault.

    I now assume that I've put a big dent in your ego so I await your insults. But try to use your intelligence rather than four-letter words and other crude stuff. You know, make it entertaining and worth reading - otherwise, I'll just block you.

    Generally, it's tossed out the window but in the US it gets caught in the wind and ends up in the third world never to return agan.

    I wonder how many democrats voted on here for there to be no consent age? You know, for sexual consent, or to drink, or for porn, or anything?

    that's pretty sick. the party of jeffrey epstien and bill clinton and underage island, makes sense to be democrats though.

    morality has changed, that's for sure. Back then, America use to be a lot more Conservative, and people would constantly go to bed with their doors unlocked. People had more manners, and morality. But since then, there's been the sexual revolution, trans, gay marriage, abortion went federal and legal for 50+ years, crime became cool and popular, rapists and murderers aren't considered as bad, drugs are popular.

    Well, that's part of the Democrat Agenda.

    I have several people in my town constantly give me dirty looks. I have several signs up in my sunroom, for anyone to see that pass by, and one of those signs says this:

    No Junkies, or Dealers allowed on the premises.
    and I've heard from people in my town that at least between 33percent to 50 percent of people smoke pot in my town. lol.

    I got big b... lol

    18's a good rule of thumb. I wouldn't mind raising it for irreversible procedures like surgical mutilations for gender transitions, but you gotta let them make their own call at some point.

    The ideal age would be 26. By then you have a fully mature adult brain.
    Age 21 for 3.2% beer, 2% marijuana (aka “ditch weed”), and no other psycho active drugs at all before 26 yrs.
    Yeah, I get the “If you are old enough to fight for your country, yada, yada”, but we are an “all volunteer” force now.
    Now politicians, doctors, car salesmen, etc., can appeal to the idealism of youth. It distorts national decision making.

    Then they are old enough to decide whether to have sex with an older adult?

    "I say if they are old enough to have a baby, they are old enough to choose not too" Deciding not to is not the same as a deciding to have sex with an adult. What do you need simplified more?

    It wasn’t part of the argument per se, except that 18 year olds given the right to vote was the fact that they could be drafted. IMO, 18 year olds should not be eligible to vote.

    I have a tendency to agree on your opinion about 18 year olds voting. But if the are in the COMBAT ARMS... they should be able to vote and drink.

    So we're just going to forget that Matt Gates is still in office despite being under investigation of child sex trafficing and the GOP hasn't pressured him to resign. Democrats forced out Al Frank over a JOKE.

    Then they are not old enough to decide about killing the baby?
    If they are please explain the difference you are trying to make here.
