I use to say it's better to have no father than a father that sucks.

Of course parents can/should get divorced. but that doesn't mean we shouldn't hold up the model of a stable, two parent home with parents who actively parent their children and who strive to be the best role models possible in terms of character and a loving relationship as something to be respected and revered.
Europe has a slightly different issue with family than in the US. In the US, the very idea of family, parenting etc are almost completely lost. i understand the rest of the developed world is moving in that direction as "family" and basic tribal behaviors become less and less necessary to the individuals and groups survival... but here, we've gone way too far. almost 1/2 of all children are born out of wedlock. most of those will have serious behavioral issues and end up in jail at some point. we have to be politically correct, we can't say "hey bitch, put a sock in your snatch and stop having kids when you aren't married and can't afford them"
I don't have anything against gay people or anything like that. i just personally believe that the general erosion of traditional values does more harm to a culture on the whole than good.
