I am trying to understand other people's views on single parents. This was my first post and I was hoping that I could get some valuable input on the subject. Our class discussion left me confused and with many questions. I was not the only one. Our professor tasked us with trying to look at the dynamics of our project from every angle, as I have already stated to the other person to whom you refer. I though that maybe if I could share what I had with others, I could begin to gain a better focus of the overall picture. That is what I wanted. I have gotten that from it too. Like several people have pointed out to me, the fact that I live in Oklahoma and my friend is from California is important. Religion factors in to some extent, politics to another, among many other factors. I was hoping that this discussion would give me better insight and angles on the subject. I am aware that I come across unfocused and unclear, because I, myself, am grasping to better understand the many different things that I have come across in this study. I agree, I think the project sucks personally. Our options were very limited and all equally frustrating on the class projects. You have made your disdain for me very clear in all of your posts. Whether it is your intention or not, you have been insulting. I get the feeling your family was not from Oklahoma. I am beginning to understand that my experience is much more relevant to my location than I first realized. Which is helping me to better understand the project.
