I don't think they should be punished, but should be required to take responsibility for their actions and choices. There are PLENTY of people that shouldn't be having children. There are plenty of mothers popping out kids left and right that have no business raising them. THIS is the downfall of our society. Those f***ed up kids will be f***ed up adults in all likelihood. The future generations will become worse and worse until everything is completely unsustainable. Actually, it already is unsustainable. Look how many idiots voted for Obama. As evidence of the high divorce rates, there are PLENTY of people that shouldn't be married. I am not sure why my aunt keeps getting married after failing at it 5 times. Too many people are brainwashed and too many people make choices based on the idea that someone else will take care of them WHEN they make bad decisions...Cornfed wrote:So you are in favor of a social system that effectively punishes people for being married and having children and/or makes it impossible for them to do so? Wouldn't this result in the extinction of your society? The proof of the pudding is in the eating. If your beliefs are likely to result in the impoverishment and extinction of your society then perhaps you should consider changing them.tre wrote:I was always bugged that government gives tax breaks to married couples with children. [..] How is that not discriminatory? Married couples with children make a decision to take on that financial burden.
There is no way to fix anything overnight and there WILL be pain for many NO MATTER WHAT at this point. However, to get things on the right track, people NEED to learn personal responsibility and personal accountability. The government will take care of cutting down the numbers in the world population, not the decline in couples having children. The reason they have that power is because we have too many stupid people in society that let them take it...
