    Hypothetical Regarding Child Support

    I dont think its really fair to use the derogatory term 'deadbeat' so liberally. All it does is constitute an 'appeal to emotion', specifically negative towards the opposing side of the discussion, in what seems to clearly be an attempt to undermine reasonable arguments from the other side. But...

    Hypothetical Regarding Child Support

    Hypothetical Regarding Child Support

    'Since so many men have trouble grasping...?' i completely understand that conception and the 9 month pregnancy to term occurs within the body of the female, thus justifying her as the only person who should have a say over matters concerning such. Im familiar with all aspects of it from...

    Hypothetical Regarding Child Support

    But he is immediately bound to prospective support by virtue of her express decision to keep the child. There is a big difference between a man who felt he never agreed or provided consent to fathering a child and supporting it through to adulthood at the beginning, early in pregnancy, and a...

    Hypothetical Regarding Child Support

    Ye i definitely agree that an argument that appeals to the rights of the child is very important, and is a major fact that can legitimately trump other consideration in many scenarios. The protection of innocent and the vulnerable is indeed of paramount importance to humanity. But there is a...

    Hypothetical Regarding Child Support

    Listen, the problems I highlight relate to a system that would see it justified to blanket enforce child care from biological fathers simply due to that fact alone, that they be biological fathers. I sincerely believe that such a thing would lead to many unjust outcomes, and that a subject...

(oh and Mystic you never gave me a reply earlier in the thread, u just went on to use the arguments...

    Thoughts on this needed!

    Some thoughts of mine Depends greatly on your definition, be it everyday language or technical terms. Much of front line physics especially in the field of particle physics challenges classical notions that we have become familiar and comfortable with. God 'is', in so far as anything you...

    Hypothetical Regarding Child Support

    What about every time you go to the grocery store? They're all verbal agreements or verbal contracts, and they stand for something. As a rule and as far as my understanding goes, contracts require the following; an agreement which includes an offer and acceptance, consideration - which refers...

    Hypothetical Regarding Child Support

    I think verbal agreements are worth something, perhaps not as strong and ones written down, but that doesn’t mean their meaningless. What do you make of this quote from a former President of the National Organisation for Women: "if a woman makes a unilateral decision to bring pregnancy to...

    Hypothetical Regarding Child Support

    I just wanted to break it up, and make the story highlighted as apart from the other text. It seemed easily readable on my screen, but i apologise if its difficult, i can easily rectify that.

    Hypothetical Regarding Child Support

    Yeah, i agree with you. Sensible post. Its very different if they already have a child and decide to then separate. They both have already agreed to having a child which includes the adoption of a responsibility to care for it through to adulthood. What’s unfair is one person making that...

    Your Opinion on Knowledge...

    This strikes me as advocating 'let knowledge speak for itself', of which I’m in favour of. It shouldn’t really matter who someone is when you read what they have to say. A scientist is not correct about a certain topic by virtue of his status as 'a scientist'. He could be right or wrong...

    Hypothetical Regarding Child Support

    At the risk of re-opening a can-o-worms, i thought I'd start this thread. My issue with a blanket rule for enforced child support is that its possible for some to be taken advantage of, especially when they have no real opportunity to voice their objections, leading me to think such a subject...

    But you said you were okay with abortion...

    Sorry for the delay in responding, had gone to bed not that long after posting! Ye ok that last paragraph was slightly extreme, which prob wasnt too sensible of me. << >> But its never as fun until someone plays the slavery card :P My point regarding the slavery relates to being allowed a...

    But you said you were okay with abortion...

    Number one remedy would be for the 2 to have an honest discussion with each other about what to do and where to go from here, now that circumstances have changed. Perhaps Harry has changed his views too, or perhaps they can come to some understanding and compromise the suits them both...

    Emotional vs Physical Pain

    Perhaps expectations have a lot do do with what pain one feels aswell. By being less attached to such expectations in life one might free themselves from a lot of potential hurt. However i wonder what you sacrifice in doing that.

    Got curious about something... (regards abortion and father`s duties)

    My opinion regarding parental duty and financial support, namely enforceable support, is that it&#8217;s not a clear cut subject, both practically and in a moral sense. When two people have sexual relations, there is scope for it to be for pleasure alone, with no procreative intention what so...
