Is getting labeled a racist worse than solving the problem you have with funding welfare?sleeper;1454841 wrote:The problem is any time you try to bring up the welfare problem you get labeled a racist. You can't do anything in today's PC culture; it's a joke.

Solve the problem then Con_Alma. You seem to be one of those types that points out problems and then offer no solution to the problem. If you worked for me, I'd fire you for being a shitty thinker and whiny bitch. :thumbup:Con_Alma;1454842 wrote:It doesn't solve the problem. The problem to those with whom you think the issue will be a debate isn't that contraceptives are immoal but rather that we have an immoral society as you put it. Contraceptives don't solve that problem...especially if they are free. No thanks.

Sadly it is. I have no problems with people that aren't white, but minorities are annoying as hell with their racist baiting and racist cries. Seriously, try criticizing anything Obama to someone who isn't white and they will start berating you as a racist.

If being labeled a racist is worse than addressing the issue then we get what we got. It's a trade off.sleeper;1454850 wrote:Sadly it is.

Happy ? ...not necessarily but I am realistic about it. I also, however, am not as concerned as you are about being labeled a racist or anything else for that matter.

I can understand how you wouldn't be willing to labeled a racist then if you aren't passionate about the issue.
You have no more of a solution than I do. Both of us have ideas that a speculative. I have agreed with the ideas above which would eliminate the incentive to continue this behavior....although I certainly wouldn't call them my solutions.
I didn't think it was a solution you were seeking as much as an opinion on your proposal. That was the premise the thread was created on, wasn't it?

I wouldn't bitch about this situation at all. My simple view is I pay for the issue and if I didn't pay for this issue the same amount I pay would simply be diverted to some other social issue.sleeper;1454906 wrote:I only care about solutions.

I also have never said people should be more moral....anywhere in this thread.
Another has stated our society is not moral. If I accept that premise, I don't believe providing the tools to avoid pregnancy is going to solve the issue. They won't be used. It's cultural. It's a lifestyle. Didn't you agree with some part of that?

Only one of them works and its a shitty job at a retail store(can't be more than $10/hr). It seems the whole pregnancy was this glorified celebratory experience when in reality these people are being grossly irresponsible. Why do we as a society celebrate stupid people with no money having children they cannot afford?
I don't think these people are bad parents, but they shouldn't be having children until they can afford it withstanding government support.
Thoughts? :thumbup:
Yeah...if they need govt support I'm not a fan.

And you know they're on the pill because they tell you they are?

I can't remember the last time I wore a condom because I simply won't have sex with a woman who isn't on birth control. There's 2 reasons behind this, #1 being I don't trust condoms and they suck so what's the point anyways? #2, a woman on birth control signals to me that she goes to get things checked out down there on the regular and actually gives a shit what enters her body.
Tell me you don't just take every woman's word for it. You don't want some gold-digger looking for an easy payday a la child support.

This is a pet peeve for me.
I was speaking with a woman the other day, the leader of a local youth center where I am involved. I, and several others, were raising an issue with one of the guardians (grandmother of several kids in the programming). The woman improperly medicates the kids, sometimes keeps them up all night, leaves them home alone (they are both under six years old, and one has an IQ of 63 ... both were crack babies), and apparently doesn't feed them regularly.
I said we needed to do something. #1, we needed to have a frank conversation with the grandmother to ensure the boys get better treatment. #2, if she continues in this pattern, we need to call CPS.
The woman to whom I was speaking replied with this ... I shit you not: "Well, we need to tread lightly. We've built a good relationship with her, and we don't want to make her upset. Plus, you have to remember that all those things are part of the culture."
No, we don't need to tread lightly. Not at the further risk of these kids who, if we continue to do the same thing we've been doing, will perpetuate this cycle! If we've built a good relationship with her, then I think it's okay for us to have a frank conversation with her. If it's not, then we haven't built that good a relationship at all.
And fuck the culture. The culture is part of what is screwed up. I'm not saying we vilify everyone who has grown up in it, but hey, maybe we should try to CHANGE the fucked up parts of the culture ... STARTING WITH THE KIDS WHO DON'T YET PERPETUATE IT!
This woman does love the people, but sometimes I want to slap her and maybe get it into her head that loving someone does not equal enabling them. Fucking A!
And I know that around here, a single generation of that being enforced would go a LONG way toward people wrapping up.ccrunner609;1454923 wrote:if people wish to have kids, they should raise them. Not the american taxpayer.

Ok then.

It's all about signaling. Typically highly educated women that have something going for them don't want to get knocked up. I mostly sleep only with B1G grads and Ivy league grads(if I feel like slumming it) that have a job with a salary. When the time comes, if they ask me to put a condom on I'll say I don't have one. If they have one, I'll say it doesn't fit. After that, I'll know for sure if they are on pill or not. Some girls still won't do it bareback unless they get to know you better; and that all depends on how hot she is if I'm willing to wait around. :thumbup:Devils Advocate;1455232 wrote:Ok then.
