"out-of-wedlock pregnancies"?
What is this, 1953?
There are a great number of couples choosing to have children in stable, committed - yet unmarried - relationships.
- defen 11y agoThis sums up internet commenting in 2016. Congratulations on entirely missing the point because you chose to focus on an irrelevant and pointless detail, which I'm sure will spawn a stupid subthread that changes no one's mind.
- caf 11y agoThe great thing about threaded textual commenting is that you can have a sub-thread to discuss a side point, without removing the ability to debate the main point in parallel. The comment struck me as incredibly anachronistic, bordering on offensively so.

- readymade 11y agoAnd the parent thread will?
- spajus 11y agoHN needs "collapse whole thread" feature. Badly.
- MawNicker 11y ago+∞ Way to hijack a useless subthread and do something useful with it. Great meta-point. Honestly. This feature alone makes the comments on Reddit bearable for consumption.
- MagerValp 11y agoAn official solution would be great, but in the meantime there was a thread last year with lots of options: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8706496 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8706496
- paulddraper 11y agoYeah, that comment is way off-base. Should be 1967. </s>
- tizzdogg 11y agoThe parent commenter is saying that there is a type of person who believes that everyone should just abstain from sex until marriage, and there should be no out-of-wedlock pregnancies. Those people are as ridiculous as someone who believes that everyone should just write perfectly secure, bug-free C code.
