Congratulations! A new record!
You just wrote something FAR more stupid than what you replied to!
How so? Would you actually argue that the time and resources of two people are not more effective than those of just one? Or that any child needs both male and female role models and people of trust in their lives?
Your argument seems to revolve around:
More parents = more resources = better children
How about a single mom who is a self made millionaire? She sold her internet startup for more money than you and I will ever see and retired at 30. She can spend 24 hours a day with her child, and never has to worry about money for the rest of her life.
What can your average middle class married heterosexual couple provide that she can't?
Also, I'm curious what your thoughts are on a polygamous/ polyandrous household. Let's say a woman has three husbands, and they are all parents to that child. That should be twice as good as just one mom and dad, right? Does it change your opinion if it's one man with three wives?
