Good lord. Every time I entertain the idea of marriage and kids, I read something like this, and feel like I’ve dodged an Uzi full of bullets.

Remember where you came from: a married mother and father

Yeah, I came from a mother and father who married at 19 and divorced, messily, 8 years later because when they finally grew up they each found that the other was a radically different person from who they thought they’d fallen in love with in the first place…

So, do any of the cows — er, I mean ladies — at Modesty come over here to read comments? Or would that blow their whole paradigm to smithereens?

It never fails to amaze me at how deluded and hateful fundies can be, especially when they feel that their Magical Sky Daddy and “His” rules for living are being dissed. Yet these same children never see just how hateful and disrespectful of their Sky Daddy’s Son’s teachings really are.

There must be a wingnuttery gene that gets passed along, which argues for forced sterilization of anybody who attempts to run someone else’s sex life based on a magical being who lives in the sky and gets petulant when earthlings don’t follow his rules (that the earthlings made up in the first place).

RumbleLizard - actually “I’d rather be boiled in Dingo piss” is one of my standard pickup lines

Me, I graduated from Hickman High, same as Sam Walton and Ken Lay, so feel free to make with the Kewpie jokes. Besides, I went to Westminster, and that's the Harvard of the Midwest. And I am Napoleon!

Uh….I was kidding about getting married to toglosh. Didn’t mean to contradict myself within two sentences there.

Toglosh, the phrase “I’d rather be boiled in dingo piss” has made me want to marry you. What are you doing later this week?

Also, anyone who’s wondering why this single woman has no desire whatsoever to get married needs only to read the comments on this blog post to know why. Ugh!

europe in the middle ages and latin america today have far higher rates of out of wedlock birth than in the modern era of the US

When Illocano Avenger and I registered out marriage at the Philippine Consulate, I noticed that there were two boxes to indicate if the Philipino is question is legitimate or illegitimate.

Caren, he’s not only my professor, he’s my daddy.

Part of the ‘best time’ consideration is that women tend to be in better condition when they’re younger so that enters into considering when the ‘optimal’ time-frame is for childbirth, and that ignores any genetic factors whatsoever.

Of course, a fit 45-year-old might have a lot better time of it than a 30-year-old couch potato, but the general point that women ‘don’t’ have to get married and whelping future conservatives before the age of 30 if they want children is true, and I should add that I’ve learned something from this thread, though nothing surprising, FWIW.

Don’t sleep around, you’re wasting your energies and spirit.

We must preserve our precious bodily fluids!
