Should I be a capitalist or not? I support traditional family values and marriage.

@Penny Good thoughts there, Penny. Too much of a 'good thing' is a bad thing because people fail to examine alternatives or even seek to see if there are viable alternatives to the way they perceive the world = they 'take it for granted'. Look out at the rest of the world: there are many countries where capitalism is the mode of assuring prosperity - people build enterprises; they engage people to produce products for sale; other people (countries even) buy them; a profit is gained; the profit is reinvested after expenses are paid and growth and wealth are made available to all participants.... it's a good system. However, it's only a good system to the people who CAN participate in it. And, when I say "Can participate" I mean that there are exclusions such as: people who are uneducated, people who are ill, people who are mentally deficient; and worst: people who are excluded on the basis of what they believe or the color of their skin. It is these people who need help to survive and to be accepted into the realm of capitalism - EVEN IF it means extending charity (free money) to them to get them on an equal standing. The problem most often is that our governments don't commit to long term planning that see such "social projects" to completion. There are some countries where the governments (still capitalistic) do plan (or try to plan) for the integration of all people - Sweden, Norway, Canada are examples where the philosophy of getting a dollar and claiming it wholly as 'MINE" is softened and (even though there is waste and abuse in the spending) there are programs to raise people up. I've heard disparaging American people say, "That's Socialism!" - no it's not.... it's still capitalism practised with a social conscience.
If you come to Canada (for example) do you feel any sense of loss of identity or 'group-think' that prevents you from being an individual? I live there and I don't. And I don't mind giving a hand-UP to a person in need - whether I do it myself or if the government does it for me.

@BRUUH Your whole argument is that children do better with solely traditional based monogamous marriages but as compared to what? Most studies done that compare monogamy with other relationships are strictly polygamous. Polygamy is related to religious institutions by which children and women don't fair well when attached solely to religious fervor, we didn't fair well back in the days of the traditional monogamous Catholic church either when they used to arrest and hang us for having miscarriages.

Alternative relationships like LGBT+ couples, polyamory or open relationships, there's never been (larger controlled group) studies done on a large scale but the studies that are there about polyamorous individuals indicate general overall happiness and a longer time that they are with their spouses. I also gave that link before of 2,000 plus people. And the studies done on LGBT couples indicate that children tend to do well the more support they have and the children in those households faired the same.

Below are 75 studies concluding that children of gay or lesbian parents fare no worse than other children:

@BRUUH You're basically saying the studies that show monogamy vs polygamy are the same exact thing as same sex marriages vs. monogamy or open relationships vs. monogamy is wrong, particularly when polygamy is actually practiced by conservative Christian and Muslim communities and very rarely by liberal people. The studies that show monogamy and polygamy are simply not the same as same sex marriages or the various different poly/open relationships. The ONLY studies done on this involve polygamy, it's misleading to trap it all as one narrative, that's your opinion, not a fact, there's a difference. It may be a fact that polygamy could be bad under cultural context of religious ideals and a hierarchy, it may not be a fact when applying the many different facets of human relationships open or otherwise within western culture, not the Middle East or Christian enclosed compounds in the United States who practice polygamy the most.

That study you posted a picture about in the first one, I don't really get where that contradicts anything I said, it literally says towards the end that kids raised in a lesbian household did not exhibit psychiatric problems and faired the same as those raised in heteronormative ones, there's a sentence that literally says that.

Also in the second one, it did say that the kids faced peer pressure but that's anti gay people's fault and not on the gay person's fault that people don't accept them because they're gay. The study also said those kids were fiercely protective of their gay parents so it obviously shows that there's love between the families. It's not LGBT people's fault that you (not you, people like you) can't accept them, that's a "them" problem. Not anyone else. This has no bearing on the qualities someone has to raise their child and understand that if they have those good qualities to begin with, any bullying that someone does to bring trauma to a gay person's family life is on the bullies, never the couple.
