Neglectful fathers - SA?

[terambulan]

Sky news today shows South African babies abandoned to orphanages as parents cant/wont afford to 'feed' them.

[ethanryan]

maybe all the men over there should be forced to have the snip

[terambulan]

I thought SA was a modern state? Maybe this is modern-ity?

[legend31july]

Saw this .Had absolutely sod all to do with fathers .
mothers are having babies in hospital and leaving them there .
the people in south africa earn 100 pound a month a loaf is 60pence and they are spending 20% of their wages just to get to work.
i think theyre leaving the kids so they dont die.
you really need to get things in perspective .you probably sopend more a month on luxuries than a man gets to support a family there .
bit of a misguided question .


watch next sky news .

BTW MOTHERS ARE LEAVING THEM , NOT FATHERS .



DID THIS HELP ?

[legend31july]

As fr modern state it is , if youd watched the whole story there were interrelated storioes about world food price rises and the effect worlddwide not just south africa .
youre very selective in your reporting of the story .

do you have some axe to grind?

with africans perhaps?

[legend31july]

As a footnote the programe said african countries were starving because they had been encouraged by the west to grow crops like coffee for export , now the demand is low , and everyone knows you cant live on coffee .
Theyve changed their farming and now theyre struggling.

If fathers were watchful the mothers wouldn't be able to leave them.

No mention of fathers claiming their babies..........until Madonna turns up.

[obNOXious]

I think terambulan that this is not a male or female problem but one that affects PARENTS in countries which are not faring economically well.
Women and men are leaving their babies where they can be sure they are fed, whilst the West does what it always does with regards to Africa and pretends it's no part of the problem.

[legend31july]

Ah so this is another bull thread ?
i suggest posting it again in news if all you want is some anti african rascist crap.tyoull get that there .

south africa is a country in turmoil and i think youre belittling a major problem for a cheap and frankly pathetic dig at fathers , who werent mentioned in the news item.
but if it gets your rocks off continue.

you really have no idea though.

the threads yours enjoy it .

[ethanryan]

but the men are just as much to blame because it takes 2 to make a baby. maybe women and men over the age of 16 should not be allowed to have children if the mothers new knew that could not look after them, or for what ever reason they should not have got pregnant in the first place

[legend31july]

Nox if youve got sky news watch it .this is a pathetic thread absolutely nothing to do with the problem , no interest , no factual content , just a bizarre rant.


bye : 0)

[obNOXious]

Yeah i'm aware of that Leg, I was wondering exactly why this thread had cropped up, seems like a hidden and slanted agenda to me... so Terambulan what's actually with this quesiton, which actually isn't a question is it?

[legend31july]

ffs ethanryan so you saying 9 months ago you jknew the credit crunch was coming ?
massive rises in food prices etc ?

you should get in touch with gordon brown youre wasted here on ab.

you could run the world so much better youre so much cleverer than everyone else .
arent you ?

[terambulan]

My axe is 'neglectful fathers'.............too many of them! Worldwide!

[obNOXious]

Okay so neglectful fathers... fair enough, yes there are too many of them worldwide, you're dead right, but this is really not the greatest example of what you're trying to drive at, and I would imagine that there's a few neglectful mothers out there and dysfunctional families generally... so wht do you think we should do about any of this terambulan, is probably a more pretinant question?

[terambulan]

As for you Leg........bit more interesting than discussing the size of ur member?

[legend31july]

The item on sky was all about the cost of food in the world .the effect it had had on south africa , one of the richest countries in africa , but suffering from the same troubles the world over .

As a fototnote when britrain was poor and people couldnt afford to feed their kids .they left them at orphanages .

btw

are orphanages an african idea?

i doubt they ever had them before the white man arrived as they either looked after each otherr or yuo died

survival of the fittest .


Anyway nox this is indeed just a slanted question.
why its posted in parenting is a puzzle to me .

surely news is the correct section.

but hey
rascists are everywhere not just on the news section.

[terambulan]

Cost of inflation in SA...........so, can't the men take responsibility and withdraw........or is it pleasure at any cost?

Have put this under 'parenting' as it's my focus.

[legend31july]

Each section for its purpose.
you dont see me posting crap here .unlike you .
if i wanna post crap ill go to cb , here i expect a modicum of factual content.
i think youll find in africa neglectful fathers are rarer than here , And if not its a recent change not a longstanding one.
african culture before the arrival of the white man africans had many wives .so not neglectful by tradition .


you really are way off track.
even the slaves in america were encouraged by slavemasters to sleep with as many female slaves as possible to breed more slaves.

there is talk that this has down the decades changed african americans attitudes towards the family values they traditionally held so dearly.


manyof africas problems have been caused or aided and abetted by the western world ,usually for gopld or diamonds or any other resources they could plunder.



As for my members size , its certainly not as big a d _ _ k as youre being today terambulan.


DID THIS HELP ?

[legend31july]

Im in agreement with nox here.

TEram im now going as its difficult talking to a deaf man.

Maybe one day youll move from bitter & twistedville to live in reality & compassionville.


Until that day enjoy yourself .

Back down the slave trading days.......

It's 2008.......21st century. Some African men are articulate and educated thanx to the West. But lets not argue that one.

Legend, there are youngsters dipping into Ab for some guidance. I don't think they will get it from your rants
