The only way he could win this is retire from the NBA and dedicate all his time to being the best father he can be to all the kids hes made.



Umm, he busted a n*t in several chicks. That doesn't mean he had any intention of being a father. It was their decision to carry the children to term, not his.

So he has no obligation to be the father of children he probably didn't even want in the first place...

He may not have to be a father to the kids, but ethically speaking it is his responsibility to take care of the kids financially and emotionally. When you have sex you have to deal with the consequences of having sex.

He is obliged to take care of the kids financially by law. But that is the end of the responsibilities...he isn't obliged to do anything beyond that (morally or ethically).

The women almost certainly have full custody of the kids anyways, so not only does he not have an obligation to be in their lives, he might not even have a legal right to see them.

He delivered a knockout to this chickenhead. He usually just knocks them up.

She is right about the ring part, though. Dwight doesn't have a mindset that's going to take him over the top.

Haha. As long as you send them cash in a card, you don't have to be physically present at their birthday parties. Kid calls father crying: "I need your help, Dad!" Dad: "How much cash do you need?" If young Ripp had an absentee father, he'd be singing a different tune alright.

Ejaculating in a woman without a condom is the definitive proof that a guy doesn't want to father children. Forget hundreds of thousands of years of hominids bearing offspring in exactly that manner.

What kind of bizarro world are you from? Planet Houston? If so, you're in for disappointment. He skips out on his kids, he won't have a problem not living up to your expectations.

Wow this is so sad if you are serious about this.

So he busted a n*t in these girls, but its their fault for having the kids, just because they didn't choose to have an abortion?

If he didn't have any intention of becoming a father, why is busting a n*t in so many girls? Think he would learn after the first one (second, third, etc) how the process actually works?

I guess this sort of attitude explains the epidemic of deadbeat dads in this country. :sigh: :sigh:

There is a difference between being sharing genes with someone and actually being a father.

The former often implies the latter, but it isn't always the case.

If I donate my sperm to a sperm bank, this doesn't mean that I'm interested in being a father to some child.

Similarly, if you meet some girl that you find attractive, have sex with her and she becomes pregnant, doesn't mean that your objective was to raise a kid.

He has met his legal obligations, and nobody is in any position to tell him to do more than this.

I love how women can kill babies and it's cool. He didn't choose fatherhood but he is still providing them with a privileged life. That's better than being an aborted fetus.
