    Actually, tonia69...

    ...you proved _my_ point. What were your little words of wisdom: "One day you have children, stop naval staring, and quit wasting your energy on being outraged at the unfairness, depravity, and poverty of the world." Do you have any idea how insulting you sound? You might want to look closely at the unmarried/childless people--teachers, paramedics, clerks, librarians, doctors,social workers, etc.--you and your family will depend on at some point and tell _them_ they are wasting their lives or being immature. I will also note that you didn't answer any of the questions I posed you--you just slung insults. Guess parenting is such hard work it keeps one from even coming up with a decent debate response.
