[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is hard to believe this thread has grown to 44 pages.  In less than six days.

Especially when you consider the P Diddy thread is only 36 pages and was started all the way back in December.

I guess it's a good thing that Diddy only beat a woman and didn't tell her how great being a wife and mother is.  [/quote]

P Diddy isn't participating in our current cultural wars by doling out RW talking points cloaked as life advice.

Interesting.  Because, neither is Butker. 
He is simply praising and commending those who choose to have children and raise children - BOTH men and women.  
I guess you are not a fan of childrearing.

I guess the  butlicker kicker is not a fan of child rearing or family life since he has a job that pulls him away from family life August - February.[/quote]

I guess you didn’t bother to listen:

[b]To the gentlemen here today: Part of what plagues our society is this lie that has been told to you that men are not necessary in the home [/b]or in our communities. As men, we set the tone of the culture, and when that is absent, disorder, dysfunction, and chaos set in. This absence of men in the home is what plays a large role in the violence we see all around the nation. Other countries do not have nearly the same absentee father rates as we find here in the U.S., and a correlation could be made in their drastically lower violence rates, as well.

Actually I have read the speech many times

This is the most alarming part, he is right, dads need to be more present. There should not be pressure on men to have jobs that take them away from their family for hours/weeks/months essentially leaving moms to raise their kids alone.

This is one reason often 2 parents working in a normal family is ideal.

Also, he says 'absent men" play a large role in violence....yet he is never home! He has chosen a career where he will never be with his kids on the weekends when families should come together. He will rarely coach his kids football team, or go to mass with them on Sunday morning, or get donuts after mass.

He is an absent father.[/quote]

Ha ha. Nice projection.[/quote]

DP. Are you a bot or is this a new big word you learned?  Because I don’t think you understand what it means and you comment like this a lot in the political forum.[/quote]
