Your previous post implied an association based on race, not your "associates," "family," or "circle." If the meaning that I used of association meant any of those three, you'd have asked the question "do I know this fellow?" However, the meaning was clear.
I'm not a language major, but based on your fuzzy postings, I think that you may need an explanation.
You have the right to be a bigot. However, it's probably a good idea to understand that your desire to use race is an effort to make yourself feel better, and it makes you feel better because you're not a member of the race that you're denigrating,and the race to which you belong becomes relatively superior with the denigration of the "inferior." You're tearing down others so that you don't feel as bad as you know that you should about yourself and your failings. This type of bigotry is just an effort to avoid looking in a mirror.
Perhaps you're overweight and wish to find something less painful to think about. Perhaps your wife dislikes you, your parents are disappointed, you haven't succeeded as you thought you would, etc. Whatever your insecurities, they're what you're running from by investing in racism.
Something tells me most of them will probably end up dropping out of high school. So I don't think college will be a concern at all.
I imagine they will take advantage of every taxpayer-funded benefit they can possibly get their hands on though.
No, it's more like they see it as their way of life. They were born into it and grew up with it all around them. I'm with these types of kids in the schools...11/12 year olds. This is just the way life is for them. Some may see a way out later on, but most don't.
[quote=afoigrokerkok;24367949]We don't know anything about the mothers or how well they knew this guy when they got pregnant. We can assume all we want, but all we know is about the father. I think it is reasonable to assume that the mothers are losers, but for all we know the guy could be a con artist. In that case, the mothers would be clueless.[quote]
You're a full blown sexist!
Not only have you allowed for the women to be, consistent with American myths, less than able to care for themselves, BUT you're also suggesting that the guy might be a victimizer! You don't know if he has an undiagnosed intellectual disability or mental illness, but you don't give him the benefit of these possibilities that "we don't know anything about."

I'm a sexist against men, eh? I am a man.
Look...this is what I think....these PEOPLE - both male AND female - are most likely pathetic losers. The father has issues and the mothers likely have issues but that does not excuse any of this. The father knew he had all these kids and he should have spent less time sleeping around and should have instead been working 16 hours a day, 7 days a week to support them.
There is no way to know for sure if all the mothers knew about the kids the man had with the other women. Even if they didn't know, they were likely irresponsible. If they did know, they were extremely irresponsible and stupid. They are likely receiving all kinds of taxpayer-funded benefits and will teach their kids to do the same. There's a good chance most of these kids will never graduate from high school, there's a good chance many could end up in jail. The whole thing is sad. Obviously, these women have almost no help from the man and they are *probably* (but we are not sure) unfit to be parents themselves anyway.
Yes, it does.
No one said you misspelled anything.
Here, learn something; sic adverb /sik/
Used in brackets after a copied or quoted word that appears odd or erroneous to show that the word is quoted exactly as it stands in the original, as in a story must hold a child's interest and “enrich his [sic] life.”
So what? Your posts prove it. You are immersed in the myths but refuse to accept it although it is crystal clear.

Then, I don't see it.

How is it crystal clear? The man is and all these women most likely are extremely irresponsible. How many times do I have to say this?
We had this round at post 39:
