Hey, in future I'll make sure to link to one as you're obviously het up about it. Why should yours be considered any more valid than that of any other person around here in itself? Especially when you resort to slurs? I'm not inclined to give credence to folk who act like that and to be fair...

It really isn't...informing you of an overview (obvious as it is) isn't the same as providing an actual definition. Really shoulda linked to Merriam Webster... More of the same topped with a slur. Lost count of how many times people say that it's not them who are applying standards but the...

No, it really isn't and perhaps I should have linked you to Merriam Webster or some site so you wouldn't have gotten confused on the score. You're as much an arbiter of "standards" as any other given person who thinks that their standards are more "Godly" than other people's. Heard it all...

How did you construe that from what I said?

That's still not me providing a definition itself is it? I'm informing you of how it's defined and you can easily avail yourself of plenty on the score. Who defines what "good, Godly men" are? You? Others of similar beliefs? Pass. Sooner have a society where women are equal thanks.

Self chosen as well although the self deprecating joke still flies over the heads of some people... Do not go into stand up comedy whatever ya do JR...and just to clarify further, I'd sooner there was no need for any sort of child protection services that step in when the parents are failing in...

People are gonna have sex regardless JR and they're not all gonna be married or want children either. That's reality as has been through the ages. Not everyone is religious or share anything like your beliefs. What do you mean it's been answered in the very next sentence I quoted? Clarify here...

Didn't feel bad to start with. Oh, okay then, thanks!

I didn't actually provide a definition but it's pretty straightforward. A patriarchy is a society where men effectively 'rule the roost' so to speak, have supremacy in government and family etc.

Okay, cool, so it's not a command then. Sure, doesn't make it right either.

Yeah, you probably wouldn't but then I wouldn't wanna read yours either so... You've read along easily enough haven't you? Are all men in supposedly non troubled times supposed to leave home and get married? Is that a command? People study the Bible and have a myriad different takes on plenty...

Well, nobody's arguing that the parent hasn't failed so that's kinda moot but the fact is that there's plenty who aren't ready and flat out unfit to be parents. So who does step in JR? Or is it the child's lot to starve, go thirsty and be cold, maybe even die? What should happen to a child...

And Russia did the attacking in 2014 and for the last several months. Yet you seem to think these invasions are all okay?

Again, the traditional paradigm doesn't work for everyone and your beliefs are not shared by the majority of society no matter how "truthful" you think they happen to be. It absolutely is derisory and unsupportable rubbish to claim that most mothers hate their children and simply saying "false"...

So a non answer on both. There's a shock...

It shouldn't be great, it should be the norm and thankfully is. There's a glaring double standard going on however when those who claim to be pro life deny that a child has the basic rights to that needed for survival. I wasn't arguing what you suggest at all.

Ideally the needs of the child should be met by his/her parents but when parenting fails what then JR? The child doesn't have food, water, shelter? Just bad luck of the draw that he/she got stuck with lousy parents?

Unless that has a list of rights for children to have access to essentials (and I'm presuming it doesn't) then not interested thanks.

Rather, our government has a welfare system in place and not going down this pointless and irrelevant sidebar again thanks. Frankly, if you don't support a child having access to the basic necessities for life then please stop pretending to care for children. I'm well aware that if a parent...

It's hardly a "paradise" and why on earth would you consider a country that declares that children have the right to essentials to life to be one exactly? Then it would be held accountable for failing as has happened on occasion.
