[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Despite 13 pages of debate, I have yet to see anyone cite any evidence that there is actually a material problem with the current system that results in people on welfare breeding willy nilly just to get more benefits.

A long time ago Reagan popularized (and politicized) the idea of the "welfare queen," (also based on an anecdote and without actual evidence, but they didn't call him the Great Communicator for nothing), but that was a long time ago and there have been a lot of changes to the safety net since then.

So, rather than throwing out stereotypes as a reason for your position, why don't the people who think that this is actually a problem provide some evidence of the problem (bearing in mind that the plural of anecdote is not data). If you can't find evidence, then perhaps you should consider whether your opinions have been manipulated. [/quote]

Nobody has to cite, prove, persuade, justify, certify, or clarify a damn thing to you - if you are too stupid and stubborn to understand something then that's your problem.  Ignorance is just as much a basic human right as having a child, but if only people who can afford it should be allowed to have kids then only people with a shred of intelligence should likewise be afforded explanation when they can't comprehend shit.

Given the incoherence of this response, clearly ignorance is a fundamental right (although I'd expect that your high school English teacher might be embarrassed to admit that you were a student).

It's unclear what the point of your response was, or what position you're trying to advocate.

Perhaps you'd like to try again? [/quote]
