Stupid Things about this show….

But what I meant was that both parents should take responsibility for the kid because they both acted irresponsibly by having unprotected sex with a person they barely know.
I also agree that they should share the responsibility - and the first part of that responsibility is how to handle the situation before birth. And yet women have full say in that matter, which is contradictory to the equal rights parents are supposed to have.
That would be the best thing for the child, not the stupid, selfish parents.
See, that's debatable. A mother can say that it'd be best for the child if she and the father took responsibility, while the father believes it'd be best for the child to be given to an adoptive (read: stable) family. But no, the mother keeps it, works a dead end job, receives government aid, collects money from the father (making him stoop lower socioeconomically) since they can't make their relationship work, and the child is then going back and forth from mom's house to dad's house every 4 days. So now, who is selfish and is this all better for the child in actuality? Is it better for society? How is making two people less financially stable better for society?
Things that are directly and strongly related to crime (both juvenile and adult) and/or lower quality of life: poverty, maladjusted youth, broken homes, incompatible parents, cramped households, overpopulation, higher taxes.
Things that would be reduced if both parents had
equal
say in whether to keep/adopt/abort: poverty, maladjusted youth, broken homes, incompatible parents, cramped households, overpopulation, higher taxes. -

I agree with you now. I didn't think of that because I was thinking more of my own family and how that worked out. -

- Unfair circumstance for the men: If a man doesn't have a say in whether or not the mother aborts (or puts the child up for adoption) the baby, then he should not have to promise Maury that he'll take care of a baby when a DNA test proves that a one night stand suddenly gets him stuck with a child that could have been 5 other guys'. Is it fair that men are suddenly called up and told that a woman he slept with a year ago and hasnt been with since suddenly accuses him of being the father?
So true, you should both agree to have it, or she is on her own - Women running backstage: WTF is that!! "MarkYOU ARRRE..not the father" aaaand cue the skank running backstage so that the audience cant boo her after she claims: "Maury, I am 10,000% sure he IS the father of my baby!!!" (so sure she had to say it while clapping her hands at every syllable). Then here comes Maury with his "Mark, get away can't you see she's upset! Stop rubbing it in her face, she only flew you all the way out here, called you out on national television, smacked you up a bit, called your mom a bitch who needs to mind her own business, had an audience of people boo you (cuz theyre all ethically perfect apperently), and acted like a little miss knowitall throughout the whole process, leave her alone she doesnt deserve any ridicule!"
This is what makes this comedy show so funny, fat cow runs to the back, falls down, and makes bellowing cow like noises

I would disagree most are cute. Some are. A lot aren't. My point is Maury doesn't need to say it to make the mom feel good.
Consider the daffodil. And while you're doing that I'll be over here looking through your stuff.
