> [@JayS](#): > > You can be as ugly as you want. I’ll even let you put those exact words in there. But if you have no financial means to raise a child, or your basic psychological profile shows you shouldn’t even be near kids, let alone raise them, then you shouldn’t have them. I’m not saying pass a law so only perfect parents can have kids, but how about some bare minimum standards. Even animals in the wild are smart enough to not have babies in the middle of winter, but humans will pop out a kid when they can’t afford to feed themselves and then just expect society to pay for that kid. But there are also dirt poor people who raise great kids, who go on to great success. To prevent them from having children because some (maybe even most) in the same situation neglect their children is wrong. That would be the same as saying young black men aren’t allowed to walk around unless they’re going to school or work because many of them commit crimes. Enforce child protection laws better and revamp the foster care programs…preventing people from having children through law enforcement is NOT an option. So other solutions need to be found. > [@AWDrifter](#): > > I am sick and tired of this bullshit! > And the government is gulity of conditioning people to live this way! > This country has been going downhill ever since welfare started. You very simply have no sense of social responsibility, at all. I guess that’s ok, but that is not what this country is about. This country is about helping those less fortunate, especially children WHO HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE WORLD THEY ARE BORN INTO. Yes, sure, there are those that take advantage of the system…There are those that abuse the system. Yes, the system needs work. But to say that “fuck you if you’re poor, I have no reason to help you”, I guess that just strikes me as wrong. The ME ME ME thinking is what hurts and divides our country. You want to stop stupid laws from getting passed? Educate the public so they don’t elect some asshole because “I like the way he looks” or “I love god, he loves god, he must be good”…Maybe with an educated public 3rd parties can stand a chance at winning some races because people wont base their vote on whoever ran the most 30-second spots. A well educated public goes a long way in making EVERYONES life better. Yeah sure, maybe those who pay the bill will get fucked a little, maybe your generation wont really see the benefits, but mine will, your kids’ will…but if all you focus on is how good can YOU live RIGHT NOW and fuck whoever comes after we’ll never make this country better. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/public-education-system/13602)._
