Not remotely crime-related

That dog is the world's bravest adoptive parent. Because one day those babies are going to be much bigger than she is ...

Hat Tip: Many thanks, Jim and Patty PV!

Those babies need to have their father in their lives. That bitch can't teach them what they need to know to survive.

Hate to be the one to tell you, TT, but in the wild, all the dad is good for is protection. Mom is the one that raises the cubs and teaches them to survive.

Nice thought, though.

Hate to be the one to tell you, Wink Wink, but in the wild, the dad is good for more than just protection. Dad often is the one that provides food as well and raises the cubs and teaches them to survive.

Nice thought, though.

TT: Can you give us a few animals as an example?

Because I know that, among feral cats, the tom usually tries to kill the newborns.

When it comes to cattle, the bull really doesn't pay much attention to the calves.

Isn't this a crime against nature?

Didn't you know that black widow spiders are only poisonous because they have to grow up without their fathers after the inherently evil female kills the father and drains his insides (just like the misandrist court system does to real men financially, spiritually and mentally) and then she gets away with it! If the male spider tried to kill the female and drain her he'd be in the electric chair! He'd be totally justified in stealing that egg clutch and raising them himself and then maybe they wouldn't turn out to be venomous, but soft and fuzzy like kittens!

(Sorry, James. I'm in my 4th 80-hour workweek in a row and surreal is my current watchword)

I'd pay good money to see the Tigers' daddy nurse those babies...

In Africa young bull elephants are going on rampages. Why? The older bulls were all killed for their ivory. When older bulls are reintroduced, the behavior moderates drastically.
Roosters care for the chicks.
Certain breeds of fish guard the eggs, clean them, etc.
Plenty of examples available. Go look for yourself and have fun!

[Truth Teller]

You're welcome James!
And to you all. I thought that my line above would get a few laughs.
Looks like you all took it seriously, which makes me ask...why do you all seem to hate men or fathers? They really are a necessary part in a family. Without a father, the risks for drug abuse, truancy, pregnancy and crime increase astronomically for children.
Fathers are more than just money makers.

[James Hart]

I totally agree with you, TT. Fathers are a crucial part of raising good, healthy kids. Not just because of financial stability -- though that's a huge part -- but because they provide a moral role model.

I guess my problem with so much of what you write is that you automatically blame females -- ALL FEMALES -- for anything bad. We have had cases here where men have beaten and killed their spouses or girlfriends, gruesome cases of violence, and you've consistently sided with the man, no matter how wrong they were.

I can guess what you're saying: Well, I'm just doing what the feminists do.

Well, it's still wrong to look at the world. There's a huge majority of reasonable, clearheaded people who hold people accountable based on their actions, not their gender. I think you're a smart guy, and you obviously care a lot about fairness. A lot of what you write doesn't reflect that.

[c8h10n4o2]

Thank you, James. Very articulate way of putting it.

The answer to perceived misandry is not automatically misogyny.

[Truth Teller]

I've not consistently sided with Men all the time. You need look no further than today's posts.
I've tried to consistently point out the differences in the way men and women are treated and all I am after is equality. Is it wrong to want equality for men and women?

[James Hart]

Truth Teller: Can you point out an example, please?

[Truth Teller]

The booby grabbing bike rider?

[James Hart]

This comment:

That's what happens when you let emotions rule over logic.

He grabbed me! I'll get him! (I hope my baby doesn't get hurt)

Shame on him for trying to cop a feel!
More shame for doing it in the presence of a child!!

You're right -- you did take the guy to task. Right after you made fun of the female victim.

[Truth Teller]

James -
As a blog moderator you should know better!
I am not making fun of the woman. I am pointing out the child could have been hurt by irresponsible behavior.

P.S. You're welcome again!

[acethehonkey]

For the record.
I thought TT's original quote was hilarious.

But now the blog's gone off the deep end.
I also think that women should let us play with they're boobies. I'll return the favor.

Look! They're snugglin'!

[Searching]

TT I dont relate your explanation to your comment at all...

[Truth Teller]

Searching.
Doesn't surprise me.

[Searching]

OH, well.. since you really CANT explain it without getting insulting.. guess we'll move on .....

[Truth Teller]

Must have very very thin skin if you call that insulting.
See you!
