so the use of the wors bastard in this instance is correct........it is not being used as a derogatory term.......just stating a fact.

but we no longer live in the past where that term was acceptable this is they year 2005 and not 1905 or even 1955 many of my friends are parents and they are not wed some are even single parents just because a child is born out of wedlock DOES NOT make it illigitimate and a bastard .......ignorance is bliss
