Are you saying that two parent's must be "wed" to raise a child in a
decent manner? I know that you are too narrow minded to grasp this, but
in this day and age your statistic doesn't show a damned thing about how
the children of that 80% are raised.

I agree the wedding ceremony is just that a ceremony but the kids in
question are raised by a single person with no means and no partner in
most cases. That is not a good scenario.


There will be a slight pause while Loogie makes up some new statistics.

Of course not. It was a joke. Forget it.

It's cheap to stuff your face with fast food crap. Going to a store

to buy fresh fruit, vegetables and meat is freakin' expensive.



The lower our income, the worse our diet. You can't even feed your

family crap on minimum wage, which is becoming the case for more and

more Americans. Average age of fast food workers at McDonalds is 29.



Welcome to the new America, where money is held by the rich and the

rest of the country can go **** themselves.



It is obvious you don't eat a lot of fast food.



For the price of McDonalds for 4 ($20), I can buy a whole chicken ($6)

a few potatoes ($2) and a package of fresh broccoli ($2) and still

have $10 left over.

I won't even try to explain how much rice and beans that will buy.



People go to fast food joints because they are lazy.

I was behind a gal in the groce3ry check-out and she had a cart load of chips, soda, candy,various other snacks, a gallon of milk and some sugar laced cereal, but nothing else substantial.

The bill was about 60+ bucks. She paid for it with a WIC card....

This shows that low-income doesn't 'force' people to eat unhealthy stuff....

My sister raised 5 kids without a whole lot of money.
They ate well
The difference was she understood you pay for convenience and usually
convenient food is not healthy food.

I think a big part of the problem is people do not understand basic
nutrition and what foods will fill those needs. I learned from my
sister if you don't have a lot of money, the grocery store is a better
resource than eating out and if you know what to buy, you can get a
lot of food for not that much money.

Unfortunately you still have to cook it. Mc Donalds will just push it
out the window.

They spend too much time on how to put on a condom and have safe sex rather than teaching the
kids about eating right.

It should be obvious to you that Herring is a racist and his
never-ending references to cities where black people are in the majority
are just another way for him to express his racist feelings without
actually coming out and saying "I'm a racist." It's code language,
something he and his fellow GOP dirtbags use frequently.

If the truth makes me a racist, then yes, I'm a racist. But the facts remain what they are.

Actually, I'm a Bill Cosby kind of racist, if you know what I mean.

John (Gun Nut) H.

John, you are no more racist than Harry or I. However Harry uses the
tern racist to give him traction to backpedal out of a sticky situation
where he is otherwise lost for words. But then you knew that.


There you go popping my bubbles again. Just when I think I've found my place in life.

Oh well, guess I'll practice my golf more.

Yeah, what ever happened to "Home Ec"? I guess it was too sexist ...
like "shop".

I agree. Home Ec was dropped because it was seen as sexist and shop
was dropped because it implied that everyone was not going to go to
college.
Now we have home makers who do not have a clue how to prepare
nutritious meals and think they need a licensed union electrician to
put a plug on a lamp but not a clue how they could become that person.

Watching a report now on Doctors prescribing a "specific diet" to those
who "don't know how to eat healthy"... Another way of handing uninformed
voters, money....

How so?

Now, what part of that was unreadable?

As to how the kids are raised, check out the high school graduation rate of rising 8th graders in
DC. That should provide an indication.

Please show the correlation between high school graduation rates and
children born into relationships where the parents aren't legally
married.


Oh, and who said anything about 'two parents'. Most often,
the father is nowhere to be found.

Pregnancy is a major cause of girls dropping out of school.

That's not what I asked.

Ahh, well then, perhaps we should issue unmarried teen girls "rape

No question they'd prevent non-rape pregnancies too, right?

The morning after pill would do the job just fine. But they'd have to read a paper or watch the news
to know about it. Oh, another but, if they took it they wouldn't collect welfare for the fatherless
baby.
