 Importance of Fathers
« Thread Started on Jun 18, 2012, 12:02am »

On Father's Day: Just a reminder for us men to be fathers to our children.

http://www.education.com/reference/article/Ref_Hidden_Benefits/?page=2

http://www.childwelfare.gov/pubs/usermanuals/fatherhood/chaptertwo.cfm

A lot of our social problems would be taken care of if Dads would do their job.

(Yes, you can be a great Dad and have a child that is a mess, but it is less likely)

I'm a new step dad to a beautiful 6 year old girl I've know since I was 4. So...not exactly brand new.

She's changed my life. I prefer tea parties with her than happy hours with the guys.

You have known a six year old since you were four? Are we confused here or is this a much better story than it appears? ;)

As you can see here, I am a stickler for details.

Best I ever had for a father figure was my Great Uncle, who was born in 1898 and, quite frankly, I never much cared for my friends' fathers having listened to my friends' mothers telling them to "just wait until your father gets home".

Didn't care that my father wasn't in the picture because most fathers I saw pretty much sucked. Most of them came out of WW II with PTSD and never got over it.

No doubt you can not have a father in the picture and turn out well, just as you can have a good father in the picture and be a mess. It's just more likely things will work out better for a kid if they have a Dad in the picture.

Glad to hear that you did fine without one.

I watched my friends having to deal with their fathers and, quite frankly, I'm rather happy that I didn't grow up without one. Most of the kids on my block grew up in fear of their fathers, something I never had to deal with.

What that means is the Republicant argument that every household "needs" a father is bull$#!+. Fathers suck; fathers are often assholes. I watched friends try to deal with their fathers and they weren't able to do it because they were so haunted by their time in combat.

But that aside, fathers often suck because they are fathers. I really don't much care for men because, in general, they are idiots.

All I have to say is wow! I feel sorry for you and even more so since I saw your sorry ass. This tells me all I need to know about you and explains a lot! You sound like a true loser and we both know you have small dick syndrome cause you look like a smurf! You are the true definition of a loser!

What could possibly provoke you enough to spew such hatred towards someone just because they are sharing their opinion?

This. Totally this. Totally uncalled for and clearly against board rules. Suspension now in place.

MYfather was a bigamist,a mess in most respects.His father was a mess as well. My great grandfather was by all accounts a prince but he was very old when he had his second family.
He was also a phsical wreck having served in the Civil war in the Stonewall brigade,imprisoned at Fort Delaware his first family dies of malaria? typus during the war when meds were blockaded. I am not a perfect Dad but I love my i kids ot death,he hasdone well graduated magna Cum laude etc,

MY father in law was the Hillbilly from hell. Of curse he loved world War II got to kill people. had more decorations than a Christmas tree. On the othe side my grandpa was atall Texan and an excellent dad. However his Dad was aalcoholic fiddler who squanderd away the family ranch in the saloons playing for drinks. Most of the Dads in my generation and Moms are great.

My Uncles were very good fathers,real southern gentlemen. If you do not have a dad you can still be Ok as long as the culture surrounding you is oK. However the Ghetto culture is not OK,it is total wreck

Dude, that sucks.

I disagree. Not having a father made me want to be the best damn dad to my little girl. I never miss a soccer game, I taught her to play catch, ride a bike, swim and she taught me how not to offend her imaginary friends at tea parties by sitting on them.

No problem with any of that. It is impressive that you understood what it's like to raise a daughter. It's not easy (and I have somewhat been there). But I spent my entire life watching fathers and most of them were disasters.

I grew up with kids who had assholes like you for fathers. It's one of the main reasons I dislike men and I really hope an idiot such as you never breeds. You are an incredible fool - a fool who is incapable of offering a decent attack unless Bruce tells you what to do.

I'm sorry, but you really are as dumb as a stump and you really do not understand how stupid you appear every time you attempt to attack someone.

The really sad part is this - you are being used by Bruce and maybe another (although I doubt it) to attack me and because you are being used as a pawn you offer bull$#!+.

Arguing with you is simple because you don't believe in yourself enough to be creative. The best you can do is decide you're so worthless you have to listen to assholes, such as Bruce, to offer the arguments he tells you to offer.

It's really rather sad, Tom. You have so little belief in your intelligence that you are willing to kiss Bruce's ass and do his bidding. Maybe one of these days you'll stand up for yourself and offer me an argument that's not prompted by Bruce.

Does not look like AztecTom will reply. Are you not really glad that Fembone is there to protect you? She protects you even in the face of your much worse behavior. You should be so happy she is in your corner. Now have another drink and think up some foul mouthed retort that you can post with impunity! ???

Tell ya what, Bunky - Fembone doesn't protect me. I stand on my own and you are really quite stupid to assume she does. The rally sad part about this is how you and Bruce use Tom. I mean really, what does that say about your opinion of Tom?

You and Bruce have used Tom over and over to attack me without caring about him at all.

As I see it, Tom has a certain intelligence that you do not respect. You just see him as a vehicle for attacking me when you should see him as someone who is capable of intelligent thought.

I respect his intelligence - you don't.

So bugger off and die - you are incredibly pathetic. I'm quite sure you used the bull$#!+ you offer on here when you were a supply clerk. Sorry, but you have to do better.

The old "Bugger off and Die" line again? I never heard anything that vile from AztecTom or AztecJoe. I guess as long as you have a skirt to hide behind you are safe.

=Bob...you're an effing idiot sir. Truly.

It's amazing you're still allowed to post here, with the hateful "Fuck off and Die" posts and general nastiness that always comes from you.

Sorry to break it to you bunky...you did NOT turn out well.
