and Jumper, only becasue you alluded to it, I will tell you that I have never in my life even so much as tried pot. (And no...I am not saying that just because my mom posts here....) It really and truly is the the truth.
Did your parents smoke, when you were growing up.
I`m merely pointing out that parents are often seen as role models. My old man smoked like a chimney and I followed suit at an early age. Studies show 1000`s of smokers followed their parents lead. My wife on the other hand has never so much as touched a ciggie neither have her parents.
A weak attempt I know, but surely a point.

nope, neither parent smoked...but I had family members who did.
I just don't think that you can compare the two...sorry.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Okay, I'll play devil's advocate. One reason might be that other children might taunt or shun the children who have "two mommies/daddies". Kids can be cruel, and all other things being equal, a child will be better off in a conventional family. It may not be right, but it is true.[/QB]</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Ok, by following this logic, I shouldn't be a parent. Emily has a boy at school who makes fun of her b/c I am fat. According to this line of thinking I should immediately give up my rights as a father so she can stop being taunted about the fact that her dad is a fatass. I mean afterall, since I am fat, I must be unfit to raise a child, so I can just leave and they will stop teasing her and all will be well.Quote:

Ok, why shouldn't gay couples be allowed to adopt children?
Here's a newsflash for ya AL: Kids will tease other kids about ANYTHING! They don't care if they have two mommies, two daddies, two parents that are fat, that you have a funny name, or if you do an activity that is different from what everyone else does, etc, etc, etc. Kids will pick up on anything and use it if they know it gets under the skin of the kid they are teasing. All they want is a reaction. It doesn't matter what it is.
Your logic is flawed.
I call bullshit. Me and her fucking smoked up every day and then hit up some Quaaludes. We got fucked up!
I am of course kidding...
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That really is a horrible excuse. Gays should be able to enjoy all the rights everyone else does. If they want to adopt. So be it.Quote:
