FamilyRe: Single Mother/single Father Which Is Better In Bringing Up Responsible Children by kkins25(m): 10:24am On Dec 02, 2023
ERCROSS:
Based on personal experience and intuition, I'd say a single father is more likely to raise responsible children than a single mother due to the following reasons:

1. Masculinity and Teenagers: The teenage is one of the most critical period of a child's life when it comes to shaping the child. I can say a child that would turn out to be irresponsible would most likely start this lifestyle during their teenage. The presence of a responsible masculine figure in their life would go a long way in correcting a wayward child as men are more aggressive, dominant, and less emotional

2. Typing...
That's not what the data shows apparently..

Good. I have already mentioned this to you. Plus, notice they didn't attribute the significant difference in outcomes to the higher number of Single-Mothers? The factors that often play key role in determining the outcome of single motherhood are what I've shown you in my previous post. The study you posted only validates my previous post and discredit yours, which claimed it was the discrepancy between numbers. Again, accept you L.

You've also misrepresented the study. Single mother and Solo-mother are different things entirely, with the latter being a well to do mother who choose to sire children via sperm donor.

How do you know many men smoked her? I personally know situations where a man that didn't know a lady from anywhere has lied that he slept with the girl. Because the bf was informing everyone about meeting her as a virgin.

I kept wondering why he did that. It's just wickedness.
It's you women that like to think men don't look out for themselves na. Before a guy marries a babe, he'd tell his friends, "abeg how una see am?" Sometimes, it's not even the guy's friends, but the person the girl is cheating on the hubby with. "Bros, you fiance dey come collect diq".... Don't you see John_doe's thread on twitter?

Congratulations.

In other news, jealousy is really real, even with men. When you are shining as a virgin or a man who married his spec, they'll really go ahead and destroy you. Some people don't like to hear good news at all. If it's not coming from their end, if it didn't happen to them, then better keep it to yourself. Else with anger, they'll spoil everything. That's the way some people think.

Your fellow men can tell you they slept with your girl to diminish your joy. There's many people walking around just looking for someone's life to destroy because they are sadistic on the inside. Those that have escaped are really lucky.
Nope. We do that so that he won't be thinking he's banging a queen when in reality, he's knacking a cigarette that men in the neighborhood smocked. it's women who aim to destroy their friends marriage for the sake of destroying it.

Again, How many single fathers --- caring fulltime for their kids--- are out there compared to single mothers? undecided
And again, we can use a variety of statistical analyses to balance the equation. There's no such thing as "many single fathers...?"

There are single fathers and there are single mothers. One demographic produces "bad" kids than the other. That's what the data says.

Again, your argument is an L. The difference in the number of Single Fathers and mothers is irrelevant.

Instead, the main factor that gives the "single mothers are bad mothers" some reparation is that:
1) Single mothers are more likely to be on the lower income side of the spectrum.
2) Single mothers are more likely to isolate the father from the child's life. Don't argue this, please, less I demand for your moniker. SINGLE MOTHERS ENSURE THEIR FATHERS DON'T COME IN CONTACT WITH THE KIDS, EVEN IF THE FATHER WANT TO REMAIN IN THE CHILD'S LIFE. Some go to the extent as painting the Father evil just to poison the mind of the kids. (Tells you a lot about women doesn't it)
3) it's easier for single Fathers to get the influence of another woman(new girlfriend or new wife) than it is for women to find new fathers for their kids. There's a biological aspect to this, too.
4) Single mothers are more vulnerable to emotional stress than men. This always robs off on the kids.
5) Single mothers are very "strict" with parenting and are more likely to drive the children into depression. This again is due to emotional fortitude.
6) Single Fathers are only lucky to get custody of their children if their mother is demonstrably incapable of raising the kids. That means, to support your claim, the single fathers out there are actually the "best men" society has to offer. Compared to the pool of women who aren't so much better people.

Bringing up child(ren) is the responsibility of both parents. But atime unpleasant situation ( rape, death, divorce) might come up which may lead to single parents taking responsibility in bringing up child/children.

Considering the situation mentioned above which of the parents is better in bringing up responsible child/children
There are many "but" to your last statement. The data shows that single mothers are often less financially capable and unavailable to be a part of the children's lives because they take on more hours at work. In some cases, it's mental exhaustion from having to raise the kid alone, finance-wise and emotion-wise. Other times, it more of the demographic of the affected single mother. non-whites often fall into the categories above than white women.

How many single fathers --- actually carrying fulltime for their kids--- are out there compared to single mothers ? undecided
That's like saying, there are more people in USA than they are in Nigeria, so the standard of living of two countries are not comparable. We have statistical methods, which take care of that. So, that argument is an L.

TV/MoviesRe: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by kkins25(m): 8:35pm On Dec 01, 2023
7/10.

Oppenheimer begins with an explosive big bang, immediately puzzling the audience as they wonder whether this will be another sci-fi epic or historical drama. "What cat hides in the bag?" You likely hoped for a CIA-level exposé into Oppenheimer's life, but the plot does not sprint like a 100m race. Instead, it twists and turns, almost drawing you into its web, the complex world where Oppenheimer once lived.

The themes featured in this movie include science, romance, thrill, betrayal, loyalty, politics, and even scandal. The intricate narrative nearly fools you into thinking this film aims to dethrone titans like The Godfather, Lord of the Rings, or The Prestige. Though it utilizes shifting timelines and a documentary-style voiceover, the deception unravels once you pass the first 2 hours. By the third hour, "what did I just watch?" I muttered to the ceiling. Apparently, it was about how Oppenheimer almost lost his reputation rather than chronicling the creation of the bomb itself or the mechanics giving rise to such awesomely destructive power.

Of course, the movie is titled "Oppenheimer" rather than "Atomic Bomb." However, other subplots and settings revolve around the atomic bomb. At first, we were misled into expecting Oppenheimer's thoughts to unfold through graphic illustrations. But that was not the case. As the characters debated complex scientific ideas, wrestling over the best way to construct the explosive device, there was little insight into Oppenheimer's mind apart from Christmas firecrackers popping in the sky. I wondered, what purpose did the graphic illustrations serve? Weren't they meant to demonstrate how Oppenheimer conceived his explosive brainchild? If so, the cinematography failed woefully to portray that vision. And what was the significance of the glass shattering? These artistic builds, only to culminate in a 20 by 20 room with characters from another show - Scandal.

Cramming so many storylines into such a short runtime maimed the film’s true power. This may have fared better as a franchise, attempting to “John Wick” us but flailing in the effort. I learned precious little about science; I’m starting to think the movie’s title should have been "Oppenheimer: A Tale for Gen Z."

The only reason I’m not rating this a 5/10 is the scene where Oppenheimer gets asked about his affair with his late Drug-addicted girlfriend. She appears in the room naked, riding him, while his horrified wife watches. The interplay between Oppenheimer’s perception and his wife’s captures a creative cinematography rarely achieved since Avengers: Endgame. Nonetheless, the average viewer will find enjoyment here.

Yes. As a law-abiding citizen, I cannot share country secrets, even though I will be against it, to another country. So, yes, to some extent, I am a robot. As a freelancer, I don't have bosses. But, when I did, I worked for extra hours against my own wish, because I was robot!

To submit to Jesus Christ means the same as to believe in and to Trust in to Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ called on His followers to trust/believe/submit to Him, and Obey His teachings and commandments. No one can approach him without first submitting to Him, even if for a moment. However, those who love Him are those who continously submit to Him. undecided

No. To submit to Jesus means to become a Jesus loving robot. I believe in Elon Musk doesn't mean I submit to him.

Because, If i submit, it means Jesus can ask me to sacrifice my son to him and i will do it. That's submission; to put his own will over mine.

Believe in is entirely different. According to my dictionary, both words aren't inter changeable or remotely similar.

This mentality is disgusting. Your children are not your retirement plans. They are not your legacy.

It is disgusting when 2 people rub genitals without thinking of lifelong consequences. Siring a progeny into the world without a plan to raise it properly into adulthood as a contributor to society is how boko harm recruits members and people get houseboys and housegirls.

You all will learn down the line. Fûck around and find out season is here. Winter is coming for many men. Worldwide, a movement of women are choosing to not have children is growing. With time, it will enter this country too. Women are beginning to question if motherhood is worth it.
If women choose to not give birth because they deem themselves unfit for the task, that's their problem. Good for them.

For me, it's a game of "let the strongest survive." So if their mental capacity isn't strong enough to bring them to sire children, then they are better off dead. Anyway, not every being is supposed to pass down their genes. It's the law of nature. So.....

Who said anything about making my children my retirement plan? I said, through them I am Immortalized. Do you have too much spec in your eyes?

Winter cannot come for many men. That's radical feminist delusion; too much food has made them lose touch with reality.

Do not forget, your consciousness is a delusion. the living being in you is your DNA, which is doing everything in its power to make sure it survives. If women choose to stop siring children, mother nature will teach them a lesson.

Mother nature has blessed human femailes with sensitive genitals so that sex is pleasant for them. Yes, child birth is risky, but have you seen a hyena giving birth?

I hope u know, women are programmed to seek out males during ovulation. That sensation will be heightened when human population drops.. 😁 😁

Reminds me of Lot, Abraham's Nephew. See what his daughters did? 😂. The moment women's s DNA realize our specie is at risk of annihilation, women will be d ones forcing men to nack them..

Instead, it is they that would have to sacrifice on my behalf because I may not be able to fulfill all their childhood dreams. Hopefully, I live long enough to ensure they become independent adults.

Child bearing isn't a sacrifice on either the mans part nor the womans part. Sacrifice? On who's behalf? Did the child whisper into their ears to tun off the lights and rub genitals? Come on!

Shockingly, it's only humans that have this audacity! You don't see monkeys tellings it's offspring "I sacrificed for you to live."

Christianity EtcRe: Do Newborn Babies Go To Heaven When They Die by kkins25(m):
Kobojunkie:
1. The Simple answer is given to you by Jesus Christ in His Gospel. In order to do His Father's Will, He had to abandon His own will —die to HIs ego of sorts — and then live His life in continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of His Father. In Much the same way, Jesus Christ commands His followers to submit to and obey His teachings and commandments. Unlike adults who are set in their ways, kids are able to submit and obey their parents
. I disagree.

"Submitting" to the will of God is not something Jesus preach. In that context, considering that jesus is one who preaches "seek, knock until you find" and "I will turn brothers against sisters, Fathers against Suns, etc. " It cannot be "submit" because to "submit" will be to accept whatever your parents and the Pharisees teach you about "the way, the truth, and the life."

To Sweetvie,
Becoming a child here designates being able to format your current beliefs and start from scratch. The only way you can follow Jesus isn't to abandon your life; that's a calling for spiritual leaders. For you, it's to re-assess your current beliefs; what is the essence of your religious practices? Do you kneel to pray? If so, why?

If you stood to pray, does that affect the quality of prayer? If not, then why admonish standing to pray? A child is humble, yet rebellious, often learning from instruction but questioning such instructions. Be simple and wiling to trust that Love will get you to the promised land.

Get the point? Hence, the significance of being baptized, with water. It signifies your rebirth through the womb, once more wearing a child's mind, willing to love God with all your heart and spirit like a child loves their parent. Submission is the devil's workshop!

For how can you be submissive and fight against your father, mother, daughter, the Sadducees, and Pharisees, from whom you depend for spiritual instruction? (Matthew 10:34-36)

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out. ---1 John 4 ESV.
To be Christian is to upgrade your religious database continuously. The laws of yesterday will become obsolete tomorrow. That's why, with every era that comes, heaven and hell are destroyed, and after the third day into a new era, a new Heaven and a new hell emerges.
Christianity EtcRe: Will Terrorism Ever End? by kkins25(m): 7:47pm On Nov 27, 2023
Aemmyjah:
In the wake of a terrorist attack, you may naturally ask yourself: ‘Does God care? Why do these things happen? Will terrorism a ever end? How can I live with the fear I feel?’ The Bible provides satisfying answers to these questions.

How does God feel about terrorism?
God hates violence and terrorism. (Psalm 11:5; Proverbs 6:16, 17) And Jesus, God’s representative, rebuked his disciples when they resorted to violence. (Matthew 26:50-52) Although some claim to commit violent attacks in God’s name, he does not authorize their actions. In fact, he does not even listen to their prayers.—Isaiah 1:15.

God cares about all those who suffer, including those affected by terrorist attacks. (Psalm 31:7; 1 Peter 5:7) The Bible also indicates that God will act to bring an end to violence.—Isaiah 60:18.

The root cause of terrorism
The Bible reveals the underlying reason for terrorism: “Man has dominated man to his harm.” (Ecclesiastes 8:9) Throughout history, people with power have used terror tactics to oppress others. In response to oppression, others have used terrorism to fight back.—Ecclesiastes 7:7.

The end of terrorism
God promises to eliminate fear and violence and to establish peace on earth. (Isaiah 32:18; Micah 4:3, 4) He will:

1. Remove the root cause of terrorism
God will replace human domination with his worldwide government. The Ruler of this government, Jesus Christ, will treat everyone fairly, and he will eliminate oppression and violence. (Psalm 72:2, 14) At that time, no one will resort to terrorism. People “will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.”—Psalm 37:10, 11.

2. Undo all the effects of terrorism
God will heal people of the effects of terrorism, whether physical harm or emotional trauma. (Isaiah 65:17; Revelation 21:3, 4) He even promises to resurrect the dead, bringing them back to life on a peaceful earth.—John 5:28, 29.

The Bible offers us good reasons to believe that God will act soon. However, you may wonder, ‘Why hasn’t God ended terrorism already?’

The way Christians are able to manage cognitive dissonance needs to be studied.

Mind you, they did all this while shouting to "Allah Ahkbar. " 😂😂😂
The irony!
