So anybody else find it shocking that Obama basically took over GM?

My son is fine. For me, being a father doesn't mean I follow my son around all day and night and forget completely about myself. Maybe one day when you have kids you can raise them however you want. He's my son, and so I will be the kind of father that I want to be.
I don't view fatherhood the same way as most people do, obviously. Look around the world and ask yourself this question. How many of these kids, if they were to see their fathers out in public, and had no idea it was their father, how many would choose to be friends with that person and be close with that person. I think that's a serious question.

Sounds more like a poor rationalization for a lack of support and parenting. You're lucky, you probably have a lot of other people to carry your slack.
If you ever get the chance to watch Boyz N The Hood, Larry Fishburne has a great speech about fatherhood and the correlation between crime and crumbling community with the lack of active fathers.
I think I have it on VHS if you want to borrow it.
Go be a father, you don't have to be their best friend, just provide structure so they have the sense of self you never gained.

Damn your stupid....
I wasn't saying that I didn't want to be my friends best friend. Because actually I do. What I was doing was making a point that if society supposedly knew so much about fatherhood, then how come most kids would not choose their parents as friends if they were to meet them in public (without knowing it was their parents).
My point was actually that conventional wisdom on parenthood is very flawed, so you thinking I'm a bad father means absolutely nothing to me. Because conventional wisdom is the ruin of souls.

muaha, briguy you're so far gone it's not worth talking to you. I hope your kid grows up happy and self actualized, despite your terribly misguided outlook on life affecting his upbringing.
btw: "You're stupid.", "You're", I love seeing grammar mistakes accompanied by insults at one's intelligence.
