The Judas Panda
15-12-2006, 23:26
Aiee it's awkward to defend my viewpoint on this without sounding like a prick but I'll try. It's not that I believe women can't instill the same moral values as men it's more that I believe some children respond better to a mans influence than a womans and vice versa, by having positive role models of both sexes around them it makes it harder for them to be influenced by negative role models as they grow up. If it was two gay guys I'd want there to be positive female role models around as well.
At the end of the day a happy stable home where the parents love and respect each other is whats important not sexuality or creed or any of that crap. I just happen to believe it's also important for there to be positive role models for each sex represented in the picture whether it's as uncles, aunts, grandparents etc or even just friends of the parents.

As far as I'm aware Tammy Lynn is of child bearing age and so the method used to impregnate her is of no concern to me or this discussion. I only get upset at artificial insemination when it is used on women who have gone through the menopause, and I mean those who have gone through it in their forties/fifties not those unfortunate individuals who have suffered it early.
Doesn't it bother you that some will use certain methods to have kids that seem to go against everything in nature and the natural order of things? Don't you find this somewhat selfish on the part of the would be parents and potentially damanging to the children?
Having two mommies by itself will not damage the children. The risk is that the parenting skills of these two women may be sorely inadequate. I will believe that they will be good parents however so I really don't see the issue here.

No. No, it doesn't bother me. It doesn't bother me because NOTHING in this goes against "the natural order of things", whatever that is supposed to be.
No I don't find it selfish, and I sure as hell don't find it fucking damaging to the children!
I don't understand you people. I don't. What is it that makes you hate gay people so much? What is it that makes you use fundamentalist religion or even "political views" as a crutch to surplant what you once may have had in terms of empathy and, really, common sense?

Ok, I will try this without the religious aspect in hopes of getting an actual answer out of you.
Doesn't it bother you that some will use certain methods to have kids that seem to go against everything in nature and the natural order of things? Don't you find this somewhat selfish on the part of the would be parents and potentially damanging to the children?
Homosexuality does not "go against nature". What makes you think that its mutually exclusive to humans?
And children raised by gays will not catch "the ghey".

Ok even if homosexuality doesn't go against nature( for argument's sake) homosexuals having children most certainly is. I don't care how hard a homosexual pair try, they won't have children together because its not meant to be. And I never said children will turn gay simply because they were raised by gays.

There is a way gays can have children, or are you against artificial inseminiation too?

There is no "natural order" of things. Only dolts believe in such anthropomorphisms of biology. And even if there were and this were "against" it, then fuck the order - it's clearly in the wrong and needs to be ignored.

Nope, since lesbians make so much better parents than heterosexuals, and this is not at all "potentially damaging" to the child. Not any more than anyone else having a child, which everyone - yes, even the breeders that bred you - do for selfish reasons. Or, as the case may be, for no reason at all other than being too stupid to use a contraceptive. These children are planned and wanted and loved. Can you say the same about you? Because, from where I'm sitting, your parents failed with your upbringing according to my standards.

Funny you should mentioned this. The Imam talked about this during the sermon today. Sure you can have control over some things on earth like when and where you eat, but the order of Allah can not be controlled by humans or defied. You simply can not simply ignore the laws of Allah and say "oh screw the order of Allah, I want to do what I want." It just can not be without serious problems.

This is the problem with people talking about things they don't have any goddamn clue about, like the GOP talking about abortions (IT R TALKIN FEETUS LOLZ LUK AT TEHS DYGRAAAMS). Technically, sperm isn't required. Technically. But without sperm, as far as I'm aware, it's just rudimentary cloning (and that's a whole 'nother can of worms). As was said previously in the thread, we don't know who the sperm donor is. Meaning that there was a man somewhere along the lines for the artificial insemination.

Allow me Fass to echo your prior statement.
Fuck Allah. And while you're at it, fuck Jesus, Buddah, Vishnu, Krishna, and anybody else you care to mention.
Please no, I would absolutely hate having lesbian mothers. I couldn't stand my mother, and I only had one. If I had had two mother I would probably be some wierd twit now. I spent 90% of my time with my father, and the other 10% the absolute minimum I had to with my mother.
For me this would be a nightmare scenario. Most probably I would have run away as soon as I could, even the army doesn't sound that bad as imagining x2 the stress, bitching, moaning, overprotectiveness, fussiness, inane desire to know every last secret of mine, etc..
Of course thinking the other way around, I wouldn't mind two homosexual men as father. Only if they were not of the, forgive my expression, "f*g" type. I liked my father because he went out fishing with me, camped out in the woods, also went hunting with me once.
Although preferably, I would still have a mother and a father, there were as rare as the moments were times when I actually cherished my mothers company as the stark opposite of my fathers. But still two mothers, seems a bit perverse and strange to me, I grew up with both parents so I am used to that and wouldn't want it to change. However those children will only know the two mothers as their parents, so its their dilemma/joy to deal with. I neither support it or denigrate it, not my life but theirs.
PS: Reading from all your posts Fassigen I get the feeling you are an insecure homosexual looking for strength in your conviction through baiting bigots or looking for the acceptance of others in your views. Of the two homosexuals I know they are secure enough in their sexuality they don't have the need to be as overbearing as you seem to come accross. But accept that despite all one does there will always be people who will disagree with what you are, who you are and what you do. This is regardless of your skin color, sexuality, or social standing. Life is too short to deal with people who disagree, let alone waste your time trying to demonize them or insult their views (often related with religious connonations) simply because one views their thoughts as inferior, due to being fragile enough to be hurt on a personal level by their conviction.

Might want to do your research before you open your mouth. Most human societies, and most 'natural' societies that are not human, too - feature variants on extended family structures - where other members of the family than the 'parent' take on parenting responsibilities - often, to the exclusion of individuals that might have been more biologically relative.
Thus - there is nothing 'un-natural', or even unusual, about family groupings that are not some arbitrary binary hetrogenous design.

How would it be unnatural?
Nature doesn't call on us to marry - it calls on us to fuck and run. The constructs (like 'fidelity' and 'marriage') we put in place to hold our families together are un-natural, no matter how they are often necessary.
Why would there need to be a positive male role model? Are women in some way incapable of imparting the same moral values that men are?
Children are quite prone to gender roles. If they do not see many men around, the will get the idea that it has tobe something to do with men themselves.
But I could be making that up.
Ok even if homosexuality doesn't go against nature( for argument's sake) homosexuals having children most certainly is.

All at the same time trying to explain you don't give "a s***", which makes you either a hypocrite or a tad bit confused.

All you have done is effectively shown me how to provoke you to rash language and flaming, pushing you into a defensive corner.
Also how is it psycho-analyzing, you brought that up. I am merely questioning your whole point behind a claim as benign and frankly stereotypical as "lesbian mothers are the superior set of parents." And we should all have wished to have them. I could on the same claim all children should have asian parents, because they instill a good working attitude in children.

Also how is it psycho-analyzing, you brought that up. I am merely questioning your whole point behind a claim as benign and frankly stereotypical as "lesbian mothers are the superior set of parents." And we should all have wished to have them. I could on the same claim all children should have asian parents, because they instill a good working attitude in children. Gross generalization which serves to no point, other then push ones fragile beliefs to the forefront.
Who are you? Are you a psychologist? Are you anyone whose opinion is any more valid than anyone else's? No? You're no more an expert than anyone else here, and your futile attempts to overstate your intelligence through your ignorant interpretations of Fass' pysche just serve to further degrade your integrity. In fact, if I were forced to pretend to be a psychologist like you do, I would say that you like to dole out passive-aggressive "advice" under a pretense of being helpful in order to attack other people in a way that will make you look like the victim when they react to your comments. You like to portray yourself as kind and sage, so when people do react negatively to your comments, people ought to rally to your side against the "attacker." This is your way of humiliating people whom you dislike, and I would say it stems from a history of being picked on as a child and generally ganged up on. But, I'm not a psychologist (like you), and I'm most likely full of horseshit (like you).
bull. Proof?
Well, for one thing, child physical and sexual abuse is most often committed by the father, step-father or mother's boyfriend. A child who does not have a father, step-father, or mom's boyfriend around will obviously not be at as high a risk for abuse.
A 1998 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that 90% of pedophiles are men and that 95% of these individuals are heterosexual. Lesbians are not men, nor are they heterosexual, so right there they are statistically far less likely to be molesting their kids.
Furthermore, some studies have found that daughters of lesbians have higher self-esteem than daughters of straight women, while sons are more caring and less aggressive (e.g. Hoeffer, 1981).
Of course, the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (2004) found that, on measures of psychosocial well-being, school functioning, and romantic relationships and behaviors, teens with same-sex parents are as well adjusted as their peers with opposite-sex parents. I tend to agree that homosexual parents are no better or worse on average than heterosexual parents.
The one factor that might skew things is what I call the "oops" babies. Heterosexual couples are, obviously, far more likely to experience accidental pregnancies, and therefore are more likely to have unplanned children. I think anybody, heterosexual or homosexual, will be a better parent if their child is planned. Since homosexual couples most often cannot have "oops" babies, they may have a bit of an edge when it comes to being prepared parents.
Doesn't bother you that children have been reduced to being grown in incubators as you put it just to meet these people's(imo selfish) desires to have children when nature and Allah is saying no.
Nature clearly isn't saying no, else the child wouldn't have been born.
What a fictional creature says is really of less importance.
And having children, regardless of the parents involved, is ALWAYS a selfish exercise. And that's ok.
Best thread EVER, by the way.

I have to say I found your post interesting Bottle, though I still hold to my belief that their should be positive role models of both genders in the childrens lives and I feel that I explained myself well enough on that point.
I think the planned vs oops theory is a possibility, of course good parents will still be good parents even if it is an oops baby, like mine were to me, and the reverse is sadly true. In fact I think it's more of a maturity thing, it's far easier for immature heterosexual couples to have children before they are truly ready for the responsibility of being a parent than it is for homosexual couples and that might be whats skewing the results. What do you think?

And I am "immune" insofar as I don't give a shit. Really, must this be rehashed for you again?
And Soviestan is morally superior and immune insofar as he doesn't give a shit! What a wonderful world in which we live.

Meh. I think the whole problem is that kids are taught that males and females are different enough that you need role models of each gender. Do we expect that kids be provided with a black role model, a Asian role model, a Hispanic role model, etc? Of course not, because that would be silly. I think gendered role models are equally silly. I think men and women are as fundamentally similar as people of different "races," and the idea that you need a role model with certain genitals is as stupid as the idea that you need role models with particular concentrations of dermal melanin.
However, even if you want to assume that kids DO need to have gendered role modeling, I still don't see why children with lesbian parents are going to have to go without such role models. I had at least 5 male role models growing up, and only one of them was even biologically related to me. I would pity any child who was stuck with just their father as a male role model.
I think the planned vs oops theory is a possibility, of course good parents will still be good parents even if it is an oops baby, like mine were to me, and the reverse is sadly true.
Yes, but I believe that people who are good parents to an oops baby would have been BETTER parents to a planned baby. That was my point.

Absolutely. That's a major factor. Also, I think a lot of heterosexual couples have babies simply because that's what they're supposed to do. They get to a certain age and everybody is asking them when they're getting preggers, so they get preggers.
Gay couples don't face the same level of pressure to have babies. Often quite the opposite. So if they have babies, you know for damn sure that they really wanted to have those babies.

Gee, I had babies because I wanted children. Yes, people were bugging me about it when I was younger, but that's hardly why I went about it.

OMGZ! Cutest family ever! I already loved Tammy Lynn as the bitch Nicole in "Popular," (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0202748/) but seeing her and Melissa like this just makes me yearn for two mommies.
Life is so unfair.
YUCK, no way, why would you bring that upon yourself??
i say all lesbian mothers are just asking for the kids to be bullied the hell out of all their lives.

Because I like lesbians, and these two are great.

And I say you're the type of lowlife who'd bully these children (jealous as you probably are of them for being from a loving, devoted family), meaning you are the problem we should quash, not them.

I probably would not bully these kids as i would feel so sympathetic for them. but as i said; who would be the bigger bully victim at school; the kid with the mother and father, or the kid with two lesbian mothers. i think you know the answer, even if you do not agree with it.

Is that silent sympathy, or would you step in and tell the bully to bugger off? Or is it the kid's own fault for having lesbian parents?

Actually, studies done on children of homosexual couples in Sweden show no significant increase in tendency to be bullied over that of those children with heterosexual parents. So, shows what you know.

Really? No underlying political/social message?
And how does one photo show what lesbian parents are really like?
