You shouldn't be allowed to have kids.

Until you can get your life together

if you have debt in excess of two years total income (not including medical debt), no kids for you.
if you have been formally evicted more times since you were eighteen than there years since you were eighteen, you shouldn't have kids

And if you can't tell the difference between the healthy meal, and the unhealthy meal when a mcdonalds #1 and a caesar salad are put in front of you

no children.

this has been a public service announcement

now get the fuck off my lawn.

 

i concurr. people wanting children should go there a series of tests to check the ability to look after a child. a bag if flour can be a start.

 

Who wants kids anyway?

 

The world has enough rules and regulations.

You should fuck off and live in China, imperialist swine.

 

You have to take tests to get you license, you have to take a test to graduate out of high school, you have to take a test to get into college. We should have tests to decide if you are capable of adequately raising children.

 

Do you really think any of the people I'm eliminating from having children should be allowed?

and if they REALLY wanted children, they could fix it.

social eugenics, no more imposing than aftershave, braces, it's just a much more socialist means by which to do it.

 

I agree. PS-Do student loans and car payments count with the debt?

 

i'm terrified of having kids right now
i could not support them
it would be a god awful mess
and even when i am capable of supporting a family i think i only want one kid of my own
i would like to spread my genes but there's too many kids in the world
i want to adopt from the ukraine

 

I don't think student loans would I think you'd have to get a waiver on car debt (like if someone making 40,000 a year has a hummer and that and credit card debt put them over the line, then, hell no they shouldn't have kids)

 

i duno ... i know people who have had kids, younge girls like...
obviously they werent planned....

but the kids are great theres nothin wrong with them they hav everything they need...
.

.
yano sometimes having a child forces people to get their life together...

so i think i have to disagree..
.
.unless, someone is in a horrible debt situation or something.
.
.
.i duno , people who cant take care of them shouldnt.. i suppose is what im tryning to say.......??

 

YES. People should be free to do whatever the fuck they want.

Unfortunately, this means that some people who we disagree with are free to do what they want but freedom has a price.

 

Kids don't force everyone to get their life together, some people, absolutely, but a lot of people just fuck up even worse, and then do horrible fucked up damage to their kids.

which is wrong.

 

if people are free to do whatever the fuck they want I should be free to own a tank and mow down dumb asshole lookieloos who hold up traffic by staring at crashes on the side of the road.

having the freedom to do what you want is reckless and stupid, we don't deserve freedom, as a people we are too stupid, too reckless, and too selfish to deserve it.

 

Hmm some of those criteria are a bit high..

But I didn't settle down recently because I had other commitments.
Likewise I dont think it would be fair to kids if I was never there/ never focused on em.So that phase was put back.

 

I think you should have to apply for a license to have a child.

 

yeeah i suppose... but it depends on the situation, the people i know hat have kids turned out fine.. but they got halp from family and stuff..
.
.if people dont have that help and support i suppose the poor child will be neglected and stuff...

i say "and stuff" too much :leaving:

 

In my original post I said that there were enough rules and regulations already, which implies that I understand that there are some laws in place at the moment.

to be quite honest, I disagree with most of them.

But, I would have a special grudge against anything that requires financial evaluation as one of the qualifications. For a start, I wouldn't have been allowed to be born. I'd have been terminated.

 

so, apply for a waiver.

and honestly, guys should be temporarily sterilized at birth (totally reversible upon turning 18 should they choose it)anyway just to reduce the number of deadbeat dads.

I mean, really, how many less "at risk" children would there be without "oops" pregnancies?

 

Why? Who would evaluate the applicant? What would the method of evaluation be?

 

the system we have is inadequate.

Any single family system will be inadequate

we need colonies, we need extended families, we need villages, but what the "first world" has now, does not work.
