Ok, so with how appalled I was at your original suggestion I probably didn't comprehend parts of your postings properly.
I took a step back and tried to re-read and comprehend your posts a bit better.
I hate internet debates because you never know the tone with what the other person is saying, and its quite easy to miss-read tones/meanings of stuff. So know that the following comments are not filled with emotion/hate/whatever and said in a calm discussing manner
- Single Parents Claiming benefits for Kids -
...divorce, hey both parents are still available to get cash off. If it's not suitable enough, make it more suitable.
Do you really think the world is this black and white?
And as a personal point, I'm completely not at ease with parents dumping off their kids and going to work (under the age of about 4, or atleast talking and being in pre-school). Family - fine. Carers, day centers - no freakin way.
For someone who doesn't have any kids and doesn't want any, you sure have strong opinions on what's the right and wrong way to bring them up.
So in your perfect world, everyone is working and isn't sponging off the system, who of the family is around to look after the children?
Can't afford them, don't have them.
You skipped over the part where I already told you why this isn't a valid point.
You also said earlier about the if you got laid off you could get another job tomorrow at half the wage, say if you've got kids and this happens, how are you now going to support your kids without tax breaks etc
- Sterilization Issues -
Having children, legitimately, is a choice.
Human rights laws for the most part are BS (at least what the EU has done to them), but as long as the children won't be brought into unreasonable harm/neglect due to being born, this is one of them that you or anyone else does not have the authority to say elsewise.
Close to one of the suggestions I've made.
Minus the pretty big issue of the sterilization.
I get the feeling you're not the type of guy to back down over anything, so we're probably going to have to agree to disagree on everything
