Is that your interpretation of what occurred?It isn't clear at all. It seemed like you were talking about the Russians, but when people confronted you on it you said they were speculating, but refuse to explain. You have no place to complain that people are speculating when you yourself refuse to end the speculation, plain and simple. You have been given ample opportunity to clarify, yet you shy away. Good for who?
Is that your interpretation of what occurred?
Interesting.
I think you are wrong.
You would suggest you go back and read what occurred again.
Of course you are wrong, and confused as well.You think I'm wrong? Did you clarify your statement? If not, my interpretation is accurate. Good for who?
Of course you are wrong, and confused as well.
There is no need to clarify my comment.
It was clear from the start.
So again.
The reply is and was clear, regardless if folks want to suppose it means something it doesn't, like something to do with families.
I would suggest you go back and read what occurred again.
:lamoI would suggest not making statements you can't stand by.eace
:lamo
I stand by what I said.

Unlikely, unless you are more confused than I thought.I think you have a different opinion of what standing by what you say is.
See, there is that confusion again.If someone won't clarify their statement they aren't owning up to what they said imo.
Since there is no reason to explain that which is, and already was, clear, you will have to see me in another thread then.Unless you want to explain what you said I will see you on another thread.
Actually, you are wrong about this as many have said and evidence shows.
I would agree that any loving family is better than none.
No. Those poor children are going to be bullied in school.
Care to site any sources?I don't know about Russia, but here in the US, research has shown that this does not happen. So, you are wrong.
25,000 of them will NOT be adopted in this country before they reach age of majority. Which is worse no one who really gives a **** about you or being bullied? By the way they would probably be bullied anyhow because their parents are reprobates or dead or what have you.
never tires of presenting idiotic opinions without substantiation
Ok they aren't going to be bullied. There gonna be made fun of relentlessly, made to hate themselves, picked on, hated, ostracized, and loathed. Public school system is a stomping ground, just ask any kid who is slightly different then the norm. Ask any red headed kid. Ask any overweight kid. Ask any one different. These kids are going to be a piñata. Why do you think all the new anti bullying laws have gone into action? Our media will have us believe that homosexuality is accepted but I don't think it is. I think that most of America makes fun of gays but we are to afraid to admit it. The label of being a hater is far to sticky so we just sit on out true opinions.
I am not going to get into nuts and bolts of the whole is gay parents just as good as heterosexual parents. I believe they are inferior for the most part, simply because half of the observation of behavior differences and interactions children observe over their lives between their parents is absent. I would also make the observation that divorced unmarried parents are at similar disadvantage for the same reason. Most children are going to grow to be heterosexual and hence the need to see these interactions up close over a period of time. These are my opinions based my observations and having seen the results of several generations of children raised by my family which is quite large.
I believe that the preference should go to heterosexual families as they are the predominate families in numbers over homosexual families and unless or until such time as the "identity" is known based on the probabilities being heterosexual will be the most likely outcome. I will state that if the "identity" of said child is homosexual then they should be adopted preferentially by homosexual families for the reasons I stated for heterosexual families modified of course for situation.
You obviously believe differently that homosexual families can raise heterosexual children as effectively as heterosexual families. We will just have to disagree as I believe you are wrong in this case, with the caveat as in all human endeavors there are exceptions to the rule. As for your studies and proof ect, I am not that well read in your profession obviously, however as I am skeptical of the results and claims. The psychiatric profession is as much art as science as much as some in your profession claim to the contrary. Quite frankly the psychiatric profession is as subject to fads as any other and in my opinion more so. Therefor I am going to respectfully disagree with you on the matter.
I appreciate your respectful disagreement. There is a difference between your belief and my position. My position does have empirical evidence substantiating it. Your belief does not. I would like to know what you base your belief on?
Did I stutter?
I believe I said "them".
That's actually how the amendment is written? It reads more like a rambling partisan op ed than a law. I mean, it references studies, that isn't normal.
Just so you know I am with Bronson on this point, that a mother and father in a loving family is superior to a gay family all things being equal. I would also say that if it were true that all children were adopted and there was competition to adopt children the I would discriminate actively against a gay couple adopting. The only reason I am for it is like I said before, ANY loving family is better than none.
Familial history mainly, I have a VERY large extended family so there are lots of experience to draw on for all sorts of situations especially the how too's and how not too's of raising successful independent children into adults. Not necessarily empirical and most definitely anecdotal, none the less seeing enough examples with close interaction over very long periods of time does give an insight to what is required for successful child rearing.
While definitely not as well read on the subject, (its not a favorite subject of mine though it can be fascinating in small doses.) my familial community and that's what we are a genuine community we are that large a family, have had some experience in these matters. We have found that heterosexual and homosexual parents are equivalently loving and genuine, and that up to puberty basically there is little if any difference or effect worth noting. The difference is after puberty were homosexual parents don't seem to quite relate as well heterosexual parents, to their heterosexual children hence causing more friction than would otherwise occur. Its a similar dynamic in a divorced household were only one parent predominates in the relationship with their children, though there are plenty of differences. We have our theories (many) as to why but sufficed to say that seems to be the consistent dynamic.
As to your empirical evidence, I am not convinced as to it's validity. As I said before your profession has a tendency toward fads and that seems to be a fad. It is also has much more art and subjectivity than the other more "robust" sciences. Until I see conclusive evidence to the contrary I will hold to my opinion, which I consider to be right. While you may consider me wrong, my opinion counts for the one person that counts, that's me. That's just the way I see things.

Bias or prejudice against what? Russia believes children shouldn't be forced to live with 2 men that use each others bodies for sodomy and masturbation.
If sodomites want to put things in filthy bacteria filled holes in their bedrooms, more power to them.
I agree with Russia's long term strategy which is a cultural change. Good for them.
No. Those poor children are going to be bullied in school.

What I said was clear.Who's them? Your initial statement was not as clear as you think it was. I'm confused by it too. Is "them" the Russian law-makers? I may have more questions depending on your answer.
What I said was clear.
And I also made it clear that I have not said anything about a family or families.
If a person doesn't understand these things, that is on them.
