1. Child is born with a chip on their shoulder. Some of them become orphaned. Do you know how this affects a child's behavior when reach adulthood?
It is wedlock, no t and no hyphen. Don't be daft. Babies can't have chips on their shoulders. Furthermore, I do know how being "illegitimate" affects a child's behavior when they reach adulthood. The answer is that it affects them not at all. These children may very well have both parents raising them in the same home. They are simply not married. What affects children are shitty, abusive parents who don't know how to deal with having children. That can happen no matter what their parents' marital status.

That was an insanely sexist and biased remark. I forgive you, but only because you obviously live in a world where women can't work. In the western societies you so despise, women can raise their own children. Furthermore, and this is a big furthermore, children born out of wedlock are not always raised by just their mothers or even one parent. They may also go on to be adopted by a man or woman who loves them. You have no idea what you are talking about.

See above. Oh, and I know a woman who is raising three children and going to med school. That blows your biased blanket statement right out of the water.

Is that why? Think whatever you want, but it is clear that your beliefs are more harmful than any perceived "illegitimacy" could ever be.

Are you really blinded enough to think Americans get their opinions from Hollywood movies? It couldn't possibly be from my experience with single parents. It could not possibly come from the fact that I am raising a child who is not my biological child and who is one of the most intelligent, well-rounded children I know. Guess what, I am not on welfare, either.
