The whole world needs to adopt China's one-child policy

[slim 1,533]

But what really pisses me off is having to also pay for other people's kids, why aren't they working their asses off like I had to? Those are the people that should not have kids, but are having them quicker than I can pay for them. Damn property taxes skyrocketed again mainly due to school cost and buying insurance for kids that don't have it from their parents.

The crowd that's trying to "help AIDS in Africa" by purchasing insanely expensive coffee and "help make clean, safe, drinking water available to everyone" by purchasing overly priced water (in green-friendly plastic bottles) is the same crowd that wants to make sure the poor kids here in the U.S. get a fair shake at life, even though their parents are deadbeats.

What they fail to realize is both conditions have absolutely zero to do with their money and contributions, and everything to do with population control on a community level.

Probably the same people that whine about 50% unemployment among low skilled black youth while the overall unemployment is 10%+, but cheerlead the coming illegal alien amnesty legislation as if there is no connection. So...what are their priorities? Probably to hoist themselves on some sort of moral pedestal without actually having to do anything but throw peanuts from the peanut gallery and feel good about themselves. The usual suspects.

You are so right the one-child policy. And remember, The ####### is NOT a clown car.

My only complaint about those "save the world" folks is they never seem to get personally involved. It's like adding an extra nickel for their $4 low-fat soy mocha latte is really helping. At least that's what they'll argue with you - "well you're not doing anything at all. I'm helping kids in Africa get clean water. What are you doing?"

Well put, peejay - the usual suspects.

Please refer to the fisting thread for details since they're related.

How mindlessly unriveting.

It riveted your mind long enough to post.

Now please pass the hand sanitizer, Charles.

Damn I actually laughed out loud to that reply.

Dave gets a point for consistent wit today.

And what is the solution then? Mind you, you can't unborn them ghetto or African kids.

Which should definitely be listed. I do wonder though... if the opposite to these usual suspects are actually doing something themselves other than b!tch about those liberals that do try to help from home... then why is there a problem to begin with? No, I don't think so.

At least being more honest about this, I think back to the people that I know- including personal work I've done as a volunteer throughout my life... and they are politically inclined to making sure all people's have the access to the people they elect. I smell another Red Herring with a whiff of selfish basterd. No inglorious insult intended.

I know this won't come as a shock to many here as we have often seen these Ultra libs for the Phonies they are but here in this story we have another glaring example.

Diane Francis who tells the world "They" need to adopt Chinas -one child- policy ...... has 2 kids.

Di Bi

I was born and raised in Chicago, or Skokie Illinois to be precise. Had an idyllic childhood and wonderful parents, Paul and Mary Davis. My sister, Laurie Michie, lives in Overland Park, Kansas which is a wonderful community. Her husband, Scott, is an urban planner and vice president with Bucher Willis in Kansas City. A great guy and they have two terrific kids, Sarah and Aaron.

I got married to a Brit, Frank Francis, at 19 years of age and one year later we immigrated to Canada, or Toronto to be precise.

We started a graphic design and typesetting business, Francis Graphics, which became very successful. I left the business to stay at home with our two babies, Eric and Julie, for six years.

At 29, I decided to become a journalist and took a community college course. Within months, I landed a job at a small daily in a nearby suburb, Brampton.

Worked there for 15 months and went freelance. Built up a sizeable magazine "practice" as a generalist, then in 1981 was hired by the Toronto Star as a business writer. From that came radio, television gigs, book deals and a fabulous offer in 1987 from a rival media company. I then wrote four columns a week for Maclean's Magazine, The Financial Post and Toronto Sun.

In 1988, the Financial Post went daily, I became a director and in 1991 I was named Editor. It was the best job in journalism in Canada and we grew the business from an annual loss of millions to its ultimate purchase by Conrad Black and his Hollinger Company for $200 million.

Ever since, I've been Editor at Large of the larger entity, National Post, and it's been an interesting and frustrating ride.

In 2005, I decided to move to New York via Harvard's Shorenstein Fellowship and it's been a wonderful move. Now I'm a blogger which is really nothing more than a self-publishing journalist.

Manhattan is an amazing city and I'm thoroughly loving it here.

What's been most interesting, however, is the difference in the business and political cultures between Canada and the United States.

Americans embrace competition. Canadians usually avoid it if at all possible, or try and eliminate it. Americans like winners. Canadians resent them.

Politically, I'm a small "c" conservative in Canada which, surprisingly, makes me slightly left of the Democrats here. The Republicans are so extreme (social conservatism, religious fundamentalism and plutocratic disdain for government, except the military) that it's hard to comprehend their following but I'm trying and will be writing about U.S. politics as time goes on.

The whole world needs to adopt China's one-child policy!!!

Certainly not the parents that are well educated and can support children. After a couple of my kids to give me more grandkids, but too busy working and making lots of money to do that.

I was guardian of two, adopted two, had four the hard way, and now two step kids. Wife never had to work, the tenth one is starting her 3rd year in college. Paid their way through college and they always had medical and dental insurance I paid for.

But what really pisses me off is having to also pay for other people's kids, why aren't they working their asses off like I had to? Those are the people that should not have kids, but are having them quicker than I can pay for them. Damn property taxes skyrocketed again mainly due to school cost and buying insurance for kids that don't have it from their parents.

Not sure where you are trying to go with this. Some of those kids have no parents, others have parents that work their rear ends off and still are where they are... and then there are some that do have deadbeats for parents. Lumping people together like that is what intellectually lazy people do when they have a particular selfish reason for being the way they are. I think you are not like that at all.

Certainly can't accuse me of being a socialists from those remarks, but bringing children into this world is a human act of free choice. One example of this would be in a 3rd world country where lack of food is already a major problem with insufficient food for the population that is already there, why are they bringing more children into an environment like that? What are they thinking?

Another example is how Wisconsin in the late 60's started paying women to have babies, the law has been changed now holding the father responsible if they can find him. But this lead to the migration of people from all over the country to cities like Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha, and Madison that destroy major sections of those cities with under educated kids, gangs, drugs, and murders. A good share of our taxes are going to those communities because they cannot support themselves.

Really no expert on China, but did read that one child preference is a male leading a shortage of females in that country that could end up in bunch of horny males ready to go to war for a mate. Maybe far fetched, but sounds logical. Other somewhat scientific reports that that the capacity of the earth is 8 billion and we are very close to that figure.

That movie, Idioracy kind of hit home in the science of genetics and devolution if you want to call it that, not too bright parents even have less brighter offspring. Certainly can't argue either about the outcome of inbreeding.

But either nature or wars will take care of the overpopulation, in our lifetime, HIV popped up out of nowhere and no telling what is next on the list. Unfortunately, two close friends died of HIV from infected blood transfusions and not by uncontrolled sexual acts. May sound cruel, but nature itself is cruel, and it does not require that you be a Ph.D. to bring children into this world, any idiot can do that. But you would think people would have enough common sense to realize if they cannot support that child, no matter how meager, they would avoid it.

And those that do work hard to support and raise their kids are penalized for it for those that don't. Can you argue this point?

Can't argue against it Nick. And I certainly think sometimes we're devolving as a society when idiots put everything in black and white without much thought involved.

[PlatyPius 5]

I find it amusing that directly below this topic is a topic about the freak popping out her 19th **-trophy....

duggar mom gives birth to baby #19 - 3 months early

[slim 1,533]

Which should definitely be listed. I do wonder though... if the opposite to these usual suspects are actually doing something themselves other than b!tch about those liberals that do try to help from home... then why is there a problem to begin with? No, I don't think so.

The problem lies in people tacking on an extra nickel and saying they're doing something. They aren't doing dammit. If they really wanted to do something they'd forego that $4 mochachockalattefrapachino and send the whole $4.05 over there. Or, they'd save up that $4.05 for a while and actually fly over and do something.

Either way though, that's still missing the point as people without adequate water or whatever don't have those resources because they have other problems too. If a village doesn't have a well.... well, why not? Why are they still living there and/or why haven't they made a well? Why do people who don't have access to clean water not have access?

It's not about the water.

At least being more honest about this, I think back to the people that I know- including personal work I've done as a volunteer throughout my life... and they are politically inclined to making sure all people's have the access to the people they elect. I smell another Red Herring with a whiff of selfish basterd. No inglorious insult intended.

So you're saying those who volunteer - regardless of who they volunteer with or why they're volunteering - can pretty much agree on the principle of having access to elected officials?

What about places that don't have elected officials?

bringing children into this world is a human act of free choice. One example of this would be in a 3rd world country where lack of food is already a major problem with insufficient food for the population that is already there, why are they bringing more children into an environment like that? What are they thinking?

OUTSTANDING!!!!!

to cities like Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha, and Madison that destroy major sections of those cities with under educated kids, gangs, drugs, and murders. A good share of our taxes are going to those communities because they cannot support themselves.

So more kids with more problems equals more tax money to support the continuation of the problems? Surely they've figured out a fix to this by now. I'm positive the government has a "plan" to deal with this. There's no way they'd let this spiral out of control until there's no more money left to combat the problems. Not our government.

That movie, Idioracy kind of hit home in the science of genetics and devolution if you want to call it that, not too bright parents even have less brighter offspring. Certainly can't argue either about the outcome of inbreeding.

I think Mike Judge should run for president.

But either nature or wars will take care of the overpopulation, in our lifetime, HIV popped up out of nowhere and no telling what is next on the list.

I too believe we have a good chance of seeing this.

May sound cruel, but nature itself is cruel, and it does not require that you be a Ph.D. to bring children into this world, any idiot can do that. But you would think people would have enough common sense to realize if they cannot support that child, no matter how meager, they would avoid it.

I'm all for having a "child license" and not being allowed to have a kid unless you get a permit. You'd have to be licensed in order to have the privilege of reproducing and you'd only get that license after a long training period - and it would probably include some OJT with real kids. Then you'd have to get a permit for each birth - requirements would be showing you're 125% above the poverty line for the number of mouths to feed in your family.

Can't come up with the money? NO KID!

But slim, that's wrong, it's God's will if someone has a kid and they want to bring another life into the world and ...... Well that's great. When the kid gets hungry, maybe God will feed it. When it gets cold or tired, maybe God will provide for clothing and shelter. But maybe, just maybe, God has more important things to do and has willed all of us the capability to provide for our offspring ourselves. If YOU have that capability, great! Use it all day long and have 19 kids if you want to. If you DON'T have that capability, sorry, no kids for you. Or, OK, you can still have the kids, but now you have to place them in govt. run daycare centers while you go to work so you can pay for your housing, food, etc. - I forgot to mention there's no more welfare either. Only free daycare. (Where your kids can get free food and healthcare, 24/7, but you can't.)

And those that do work hard to support and raise their kids are penalized for it for those that don't. Can you argue this point?

They're not penalized, they just get the privilege of paying for future criminals and irresponsible people!
