Because we can.
And because it's one thing they're good for.

@people posting in the previous page
I believe UK killed its economy.
GBP value drop by 10% in one night will mean that their actual money's worth will drop by 10%. That will result in higher prices and therefore also salary in GBP, but NOT in actual. Therefore their economy will be weaker. Now there is the argument that UK banks have a lot of money, which is true, but there is another thing - to use it, they must release it. Releasing more money will drop its value even more. Which basiccly means UK would be ok shortterm afterwards, but not in mid-long term
To make it even harder, N.Ireland voted to stay in EU, they can now make referendum about joining Ireland, Scotland also voted for staying in EU and, as suggested before, most likely will have another vote for independence. On the internet 50k people have already signed a petition for London to gain independence.
Correct me if I'm wrong, of course, but... RIP UK

I've always wondered if a gay couple had a child, assuming an adopted male child. Even if the boy was straight(hopefully), would they try to make him like males, act more feminine and (maybe?) dislike women?
What about dress? Would they make the child dress more feminine, or more manly - as the perfect male /wife?husband?/ fantasy of the parents?
Same question could be applied to opposite same-sex couples with reversed words.
FYI, I don't support same-sex couples, no matter if they are gay or lesbian. It's just a personal belief.

Ouch.
@ UK issue, I'm not sure what to think. I guess I'll just /popcorn for now.
P.S. I also hear that my own country mobilized 40,000 troops into somewhere in the Eastern European region for """training""". Meanwhile, FEMA (assuming you guys know what that is) has been permitted to operate freely within their jurisdiction on the US Pacific coast, and there's apparently a build up of US troops in that region too.
It's hearsay, so it may be completely off base, but more /popcorn.

do you have any sources or did you hear this from someone who heard it from someone

What would one thing have to do with an other based on gender orientation? Ever heard of straight parents who wanted a boy or a girl and, when they got the opposite, they did what you're describing? This has nothing to do with what you "don't support," it just has to do with rotten people who want to "shape" their kids (to a much more drastic level than parents usually do).
Why "ouch"?

The answer to your question is in the post.
Though, the part about FEMA is old news, as that happened a month or two ago when there were wildfires in the northwest.
Because apparently I'm an "old fart".

That's the sort of thing that, based on where it comes from, you take as a great compliment.

I wanted to know where you actually heard it, just the other day people were talking about a rattlesnake/bullsnake hybrid which is impossible but they heard it on the radio. Both would be all over the news, NATO moved troops to eastern europe however NATO is not only the US, the only articles I can find say 3,000 US troops.
Also, when a state of emergency is declared FEMA and any other government agencies take over to manage, they kind of have training on how to do this. Guess who also helps during a state of emergency? The National Guard. Especially during a wildfire, people are evacuated and the National Guard holds lines to prevent people from entering the mandatory evacuations zones and they also patrol the area as looting occurs.

I myself live in Latvia (Eastern Europe) and I can confirm that NATO is about to station 3000 soldiers in the Baltic States (1000 in each of them), as well as US want to move more soldiers here, however regards the US soldiers I do not know the exact numbers. Might be around 10000, since there was a talk about operative defense or smthng.

Yeah, i give that 1.2% chance of the information being correct and a 98.8% chance of them misinterpreting things and then passing it on. The FEMA thing is them not knowing what actually happens during a wildfire, and the US/NATO thing would be all over the news.
