The impact of fatherless households (older stats):

The Fatherless Generation

The Fatherless Generation Statistics 63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes (US Dept. Of Health/Census) – 5 times the average. 90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless …

Father Factor in Drug and Alcohol Abuse – Researchers at Columbia University found that children living in two-parent household with a poor relationship with their father are 68% more likely to smoke, drink, or use drugs compared to all teens in two-parent households. Teens in single mother households are at a 30% higher risk than those in two-parent households.

• 70% of youths in state-operated institutions come from fatherless homes – 9 times the average. (U.S. Dept. of Justice, Sept. 1988)
• 85% of all youths in prison come from fatherless homes – 20 times the average. (Fulton Co. Georgia, Texas Dept. of Correction)

Father Factor in Incarceration – Even after controlling for income, youths in father-absent households still had significantly higher odds of incarceration than those in mother-father families. Youths who never had a father in the household experienced the highest odds. A 2002 Department of Justice survey of 7,000 inmates revealed that 39% of jail inmates lived in mother-only households. Approximately forty-six percent of jail inmates in 2002 had a previously incarcerated family member. One-fifth experienced a father in prison or jail.

Are you familiar with Ed Calderon?

No, do tell.

 

[Val Keating]

No, do tell.

He’s a Mexican who migrated (illegally) to America as a kid. Pretty sure he’s an American citizen now but I’m not 100% sure. Anyway he’s been on the frontlines fighting against the cartels with American forces. If you have Instagram check him out on https://instagram.com/edsmanifesto?igshid=nkfbpoyld89i

He’s kind of a journalist these days that covers all the shit going on with the Mexican cartels, cops and everything in between. It’s wild in Mexico.

Not according to Sopwith's.

Wow, she really gets under your skin, huh?

That's okay, a similar thing happened to me so I can relate.

Saying that, you could perhaps chill out a bit. It's just words on a footy forum. People expressing different opinions. Maybe try taking it a little less seriously. Give the angry pills a rest. It'll be good for your health.

Putting your strange fascination with Sopwiths (no apostrophe) aside for a second, if you go back and check the passage that appears to have incensed you, you'll see that she didn't really say much at all about Australia, outside of asking an Australian (Tas) to clarify something he'd posted about Australia. Not really sure what the issue is there.

And I could be wrong on this, but if you're following the line of thought that a person living in a different country in a different societal environment isn't qualified to comment on what is happening in a country on the other side of the world, doesn't that kind of dilute and potentially discredit a lot of the things that have been said with authority in the last 50 pages of this thread regarding the US and Black communities?

Following that line of thought the posters we should be listening closest to here are Tim, and failing that, I dunno, maybe a poster living a quick 30 minute drive from the US border. Although not too sure if there's any of the latter about.

Does St.Albans count?

Loaded Question.

Yes to both your statements (questions).

IMO nobody opposes a Royal Commission type intervention and reform. Nobody is arguing against it. (ill speak for myself)

This BLM movement has transcended the pacific ocean like a bad fad, that dwindles away until the next movement goes viral. Yea go for your lives, yell away.
But dont do it during the single most extreme quarantine measures ever implemented, and gamble on further isolation and shut down of our economy.
All that risk for virtue signalling.

No worries. Cheers for the response.

Cheers TOD. I have kind of wondered what his thought process was there. Unless he's really posting from some bunker in Kentucky (which wouldn't surprise me), it would appear there's a shade of hypocrisy there. Colour me surprised - oh, wait, no, I'm not allowed to say colour either, am I... oh dear.

Anyways, most importantly, thanks for pointing out the mis-call he keeps making on my identity. I am plural, and not possessive. !! But maybe you need an arts degree to know that, I'm not sure.

Seems like a slightly self-sabotaging line of argument.

Plus I think it's fair to say that having an Australian partner doesn't exactly make you a novice on Australia either.

Missed your calling as a teacher TOD. I have very much enjoyed learning some of your uniquely Australian positions!

Timmy is not going to give his views on all of this. i will give my views on things up to a point, but after that i am not going to cross the Rubicon the subject (i have my views on all of this but it's mine along)

I don't rate your opinion, so I dunno what you think you're supposed to be achieving by acting as the P.R. agent for your alter ego.

its all about sustaining the High street prices for narcotics,

It’s very strange

Money isn’t. Legalised drugs isn’t as profitable to the suppliers and distributors.

............or political black ops.

It's the biggest illegal legal business on the planet.

There is no wokealtypse. It’s a political project to make others think there is. Call and response.

He’s funny though. They have a clown for a president.
