I don't know why I bother. But: The idiom "baby's mother" has taken on a new connotation in today's society. Idioms are phrases which take on unexpected meanings. For instance: "Pulling my leg" means "lying to me" and "Sleeping together" means "Having sex". ETC. "Baby-Mother" is an idiom that has taken on the meaning: the mother of a child born out of wedlock. Therefore the proper term is "Your Ex-Wife" not "Your baby's mother". But go ahead - keep offending people by being a stubborn jackass. And "callously degrade" is what YOU do to the term "parent" on a daily basis. Speaking as a husband, father, and provider, you make me absolutely sick. Quote:
Respect is earned. And you don't earn respect by running away from your responsiblities. You earn respect by facing your responsibilities like an ADULT, and providing for your children, even if you THINK they're already taken care of, ya freak.

Now break out a calculator Mr. Wizard and compare that to the guidelines the state has lain out and see which you would rather be facing.Let's look at an example already given elsewhere that has the custodial parent making $25K per year and the non-custodial making $60K. Total combined income = $85K or an approximate combined monthly earnings of $7,100. The state guidelines indicate that the child should be receiving support to the tune of $869. This means that the lower earner is responsible for $255.59 and the one with greater wages is responsible for $613.41. Now using JPC mentality the non-custodial that is making $60K has disposable earnings probably somewhere near $37,500 per year or $3,125 per month meaning that his wages could be garnished up to $1,562.50 per month if they have others to support or up to $1,875 if they do not. Now JPC, tell me which is more fair (we won't even get into which of us is right because anyone worth a lick of beans knows that) and which one you would rather have guiding any withholdings you are subject to?

Calling them as my "baby's momma" is far better then calling the children's mother a "deadbeat" because those guys are degrading the child's mother to the child. Being the "baby's momma" is a higher position then being their "ex-wife" so those guys need to understand that their children and the children's mother demand respect and they are failing to teach their own kids to respect their own mother because of the unjust child support laws. That is my point that child support breaks up families and the child support creates divisions in the families and when one of the parents (father or mother) is degraded by child support laws and its name calling then the children get degraded too. The custodial sells out their family and their duty to the child support slanders. A "baby's momma" is not an insult but telling children that their other separated parent (father or mother) is a "deadbeat" is gutless, dishonorable, disloyal and cheap. I want to put a stop to using slander against parents and stop teaching slander to the children too. Quote:
FYI. True worthwhile respect can not be earned. Respect must be given by persons capable of that high quality or else a person must take respect from those to low to give it, but true respect can not ever be earned. Some people consider servitude as respect or believe that the fear from others is earned respect but it is all a fraud.I know this from experience that those that so pompously claim others have to earn their respect are persons that never give respect to anyone. That form of respect is worthless. Better is it to be taken from the pompous claimant. FYI. ![]() | ||

I'm guessing this obsession with saying custodial parents are degrading the noncustodial parents is akin to the theif who is always worried someone is going to steal his stuff. Normal people don't see the need to denigrate their childrens other parent, but i'm guessing someone without the moral fortiude to even pay childsupport (YOU) would find yourself contantly casting dispersion on your ex-wife because she expects you to meet your court ordered resposibilities. ask the librarian to interpret this for you before you try to respond, thanks

My plan is to make law that would require the child support be based as percentages and not set fixed amounts.See my campain website with child support platform, here at, www.ElectCusick.BraveHost.com/ChildSupport.html ![]() | |

I simply told you that some people consider that phrase insulting. Like I said, feel free to be a horse's ass, and insult as many people as you please by ignoring modern idiomatic patterns. Deadbeat - another idiom - is used as a definition of someone who eschews their responsibilities, not only with regards to their children, but other financial matters as well. You call it slander - but it simply is what it is. A cow doesn't get insulted when you call it a cow. It's not slander if its true. Quote:

No they don't. No they do not. In this situation, the ONLY thing that is degrading to the children is the parent who refuses to support them. Do you want to know what I find really degrading about this whole situation? Consider for a moment your stance on these "relocatable fireboxes" or whatever term you want to affix to classroom trailers. These trailers are adequate for teaching. They are adequately safe for children. They are adequate enough to get the job done - but it is your contention that "the children deserve better". HOWEVER: When it comes to the child support issue, you defend the neglect of deadbeat parents, and you throw around terms like, "The children are provided for," either by their custodial parent, who makes enough to support the children alone, or by their stepparent who makes enough to support them, or by a welfare checks and WIC programs which can support them. But apparently these children do NOT deserve better. No matter what you think about how well the children being provided for, when the a non-custodial parent PAYS THEIR SHARE, the children are provided for BETTER. Quote:
You have the sickening audacity to say that calling a deadbead a deadbeat is gutless, dishonorable, disloyal and cheap - AND YET you say that it's just fine to dump your responsiblities on someone else (notabley your ex-spouse's new spouse) and on top of that, THEY DESERVE RESPECT? Not facing your responsibilities as a parent is gutless. Shifting your burden to someone else is dishonorable. Not supporting your children is disloyal. Not supporting your children is cheap. I find your unmitigated gall offensive in the extreme. Quote:
If, however, you wish to stop the name-calling, then perhaps you should focus your efforts on fixing the problem - not the symptom. Quote:

Call me pompous if you wish, and I won't deny it. But when I say that one must earn my respect I absolutely mean it - but contrary to your prediction above, there are many people that I respect. For instance, I respect my parents. Even when they were young and didn't make much money, my father busted his ass working insane hours to keep food on the table and a roof over our head. When he got injured and was out of work, he STILL made sure that we were fed and had clothes on our asses. There are people on this very forum whom I hold in high regard. Quote:
It is good that you consider my respect worthless. Because you get NONE of it.
