People are lining up around the block to adopt poor non-white babies?
Mothers have no natural human emotions of attachment to their offspring?
- awt 11y agoThey aren't? If you can find the stats for non-white newborns I'd read them. What kind of empathy does a mother have for her child that would raise him without a father in poverty? What empathy does a single mother have for the people from whom she is taking money in the form of welfare?
- dang 11y agoI don't think it's single mothers who lack empathy here. If you have something thoughtful to say about a difficult topic, that's fine, but please don't post ideological rhetoric to HN threads.
- awt 11y agoI will not stop posting about uncomfortable topics because of your disapproval.
- dang 11y agoIt's not the topic that's the problem, it's the pre-existing political boilerplate. That stuff doesn't add to conversation, it destroys it.
- awt 11y agoJudging by the responses to my "boilerplate," inluding yours which consisted of a run of the mill ad hominem attempt to shut down the conversation by white knighting, and others which were non-arguments and sarcastic these are not arguments that people have considered.
- fucking_tragedy 11y agoSingle-mothers gave up their humanity when sleeping with "bad men" apparently.
- awt 11y agoIf you do not hold them responsible for choosing bad men, then YOU rob them of their agency. To put it another way, you treat them like children.
