| It IS a problem, though. Is it really acceptable for a man to act irresponsibly by getting a girl pregnant and not sticking around to take care of his child? Or at least to help? What about situations in which one father has several children by multiple women? And he doesn't work enough to adequate... |

| There's a lot more to the zeitgeist movement than a computer government. There's the idea of people working together for the common good. quite, but there are many other more rational movements and ideologies that espouse this idea that don't also espouse the other nonsensical and ill-conceived ide... |

| Born to a couple that never married but separated or "broke up". Does that make me a "bastard"? it does, yes. in fact a bastard is anyone who was born to two parents who were unmarried at that point, regardless of whether they separated, stayed together through the child's upbringing, eventually di... |
