[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, I don't agree, but those people will just say: "They shouldn't have had kids if the couldn't afford childcare." Only upper middle class people are entitled to reproduce I suppose.[/quote]

Kids are a luxury item. They are expensive. I cannot afford a Range Rover although I really want one. I can afford a Toyota Corolla though so that’s what I have. I really want 3 kids but I can’t afford them so I only have one. It’s called personal responsibility. [/quote]

So no one should have children unless one parent can stay home? I assume that's your logical conclusion to this.

And btw, children are not a luxury. They are actually a fundamental part of human existence, without which we could not survive nor provide for our aging population. [/quote]

If you cannot afford one, don’t have one. Period. I’m not talking about this year. I’m talking about all of the time. If I couldn’t afford one, I would figure out what I needed to do to afford one. Maybe a second job. Maybe it down on expenses. Maybe both. Other people should not fund other people’s inability to plan and have some personal responsibility. [/quote]

So let's get rid of all social safety net programs then.[/quote]

Exactly. Kids are not luxury handbags only the rich can afford. Kids deserve life and they deserve not to be treated like crap just because they aren't born into riches or "worthy" parents.

That same poster will be making the argument when they are 75 how all those irresponsibly-born kids should be taking care of them and yelling for their social security. But with that argument, older people should just all be burned in incinerators when they hit 50 or 60 (depending on when they hit menopause/start to lose their faculties or physical performance) because they won't have as much to offer society as a 20, 30, or 40-something. In fact, it would be irresponsible to keep parents and grandparents alive beyond a certain age unless you can pay for them from your own pockets. Cause why should the rest of society have to pay to keep them alive? How irresponsible not to "take care" of them with a pistol out back.  [/quote]
