Talk:James Dobson

message: James Dobson was nearly thirty years old during the time of voting rights expansion for poor Southern African Americans.  What do we know about causes and politicians that he might have supported during this time, which presented many changes to the beliefs and values of white Southerners? In his publications and broadcasts, all of which were developed and presented well after his PhD in psychology, and long after he had left the South, he simply does not mention any family value themes relating to matters of poverty or any admonition to Christian followers regarding care for and supporting attitudes toward the disadvantaged.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.97.65.236 (talk) 15:52, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: That sounds like a valid topic for inclusion in the article if any reliable sources have discussed it.  Do you know of any?  If we include editor suppositions without supporting evidence, that is called original research, and is not appropriate, especially about a living person like Mr. Dobson.

thread_title: Pre-Civil Rights Southern Upbringing

message: the term "traditional marriage" is not a neutral term -- when it is used by persons such as dobson, it refers to the evangelical christian concept of "traditional marriage", which is between one man and one woman, permenantly, until death.  globally, there are myriad forms of "traditonal marriage", therefore, it is imperative that wikipedia -- as a global, neutral source -- specify precisely what is meant by dobson when he uses the phrase "traditional marriage".
the meaning and connotations of the phrase "traditional marriage" are only self-evident to those who live in cultures where the term "traditional" equals "christian".  if this article -- and any other article that refers to "traditional marriage" where what is meant is a "traditional christian definition of marriage" -- is to be truly neutral and universally understood, it is imperative that the term "traditional marriage" either be explained/contextualized, or replaced by an alternate term, such as:
* traditional Christian definition of marriage
* orthodox Christian definition of marriage
personally, i prefer the term "orthodox Christian definition of marriage", as there are an ever-increasing number of christian denominations who have expanded their understanding of marriage...
the wikipedia entry for "traditonal marriage" provides a rock-solid basis for a wiki-wide consideration of a nomenclature change/clarification...  oedipus (talk) 04:17, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  the term "traditional marriage" is ''not'' a neutral term and should not be used without explanation/contextualization

message: Hello. I rolled back James Smith1967's edits per my comments on his talk here. I don't have time at this moment to go through and add archive links (or even research every reference he removed) but having found two ref removals that were unnecessary indicates there were likely more bad edits.
