[QUOTE="bucky, post: 1331504, member: 10588"] Who knows. Like I said, it's just a theory that makes sense to me. Might be legitimate, might not. About my "strange ideas about Hispanics," they were formed by years living among them in their own countries, speaking their language, and marrying into a Latino family. Where have you lived in Latin America? Do you speak Spanish? I can't get too specific about where exactly I lived, but it was mainly in some of the most impoverished and dangerous parts of Central America. In spite of their allegedly strong Catholic values, families are almost entirely broken there for the reasons I stated above. Not to single out Catholics, there is also a large Evangelical minority in my wife's country. Catholic, Evangelical, or indifferent to religion, the men rarely remain faithful to their wives, most children don't grow up with their dad in the house, and the general society is roughly as dysfunctional and violent as anything you'll see in an inner city in the US. It might be different in other parts of Latin America, but from what I've heard of South America and seen in Mexico, I doubt it. [/QUOTE]
