[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I couldn't work for a military family unless they are like the PP described. Even that, I'm not sure. I'm from a very peaceful country (I'm not American) that doesn't go to war so for me it would be hard to support that kind of family. Also, I feel like there would be a lot of job creep and extra hours or weekends with a military/single parent family. Check if they have local back up of family in the area. If not, it will be you probably pivking up the slack.

No offence intended to military families, I am a visitor in your country but I am entitled to my own beliefs and values.[/quote]

I am always amazed to see statements like this on DCUM going unchallenged for the bigotry it is. Would a statement like this ever fly about an LGBT family, or an immigrant family? Try it: I am from a country that  doesnt share LGBT values, so it would be hard for me to support that kind of family.

Sounds gross, right? But so many on here have no issues at all making the same kind of sweeping generalizations about military families that would not be tolerated about any other social/cultural/religious group. What is it about some progressives (and I died in the wool democrat lefty artist, make no mistake) that they are so protective against bigotry, unless of course, it is a group they deem unworthy? You clearly don't know the first fucking thing about military families, so when you say you are entitled to your values and beliefs I can only you mean you value shallow assessments and broad-sweeping stereotypes of specific groups you know little about.[/quote]

This isn't even who you were talking to but... There's a huge difference between supporting a military family and supporting immigrants/LGBT families. War is a huge reason why our country is starving, uneducated, and broke. Not to mention everyone who is being killed. Meanwhile supporting LGBT/immigrant families is like supporting.. Well... A family. They aren't hurting anyone. And this is from a fellow Christian. Last I checked Jesus didn't say shit about LGBT families. He did however promote peace. If you want to pick more things out of the bible how about the part that says if a woman is raped she has to marry her rapist and the rapist pays gold to her father. English Standard Version ? Deuteronomy 22:29 ?

"then the man who lay with her shall give to the father of the young woman fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he has violated her. He may not divorce her all his days." [/quote]

ALSO - me again, I know all about military families. My dad is in the Air Force, boyfriend was Navy (no longer supports war) and I worked for a military family for a year. [/quote]
