If You Can't Feed Em, Don't Breed Em.

I've seen it lots with my own eyes. This is why I believe in hand ups (meaning job training, incentive for working etc) vs handouts.

What if there are no jobs?

@plebian_angel Said

That's a different issue altogether.

@_Samantha_ Said

No it isn't - you can't just seperate these things lol.

So you're saying that a person with no job and no means of supporting a family should have the right to have children knowing that they would be supported by the government? That's pretty close to having the child just to be on welfare....

@_Samantha_ Said

Nah babe. Its saying dont tell people what they can and cant freakin do. 8) Choosing who can or cant have kids for snobby reasons is well dodgy.

@plebian_angel Said

FFS there is a difference in training and applying for jobs and actually trying to be a productive member of society
than sitting on your a** and not even trying!!!
If the area has a low job availablity rate that can be taken into consieration. But if you're not even applying at mcdonalds and instead just sitting on your a** 24-7 that means you're not even trying!

Saying people should be able to feed their kids is snobby reasoning?

@_Samantha_ Said

No - saying society has a say in who has them based on economic status is though.

@chisa96 Said

Well, if your economic status is so low that you can barely feed yourself, then it's not snobby to say that you shouldn't have a child at that point in your life. It would actually be incredibly selfish of you to bring a child into such poverty without taking steps to raise your lot in life.
