> Unwed parents are a disaster for both society and the kid(s). It's pretty much a guarantee of long-term poverty.

on what basis?

My partner and I had our 3 children out of wedlock. Who are you to say that unwed parents is a lock-in to food stamps and crime?

Next you'll be blaming unwed parents for the break down of the fabric of society.

You are way out of line.

If you are living exclusively together long term you are effectively married even if you don't have a paper saying so.

Some states call it common law marriage, but even if they don't you are still effectively married.

Marriage is not a piece of paper, marriage is a family structure.

Relatively few people who have three children out of wedlock are "Smalltalk hackers". Just sayin'.
