Fortunately most people saw how stupid it is :-)))

But are there people who still believe in the philosophy of the Victorian plonker Malthus, (that the poor shouldn't breed)?

(Here is a quick wiki link for those who need a refresher)

They should so not be banned. Even if they are unemployed whats to stop their children curing cancer or something. If that doesn't "contribute to society" what does?

Lots of unemployed people contribute to society. We do this by taking time to raise our kids right instead of dumping them in a daycare 8-10 hours a day and letting them be raised with ignorant, snotty-nose kids (probably like yours). We also spend time trying to teach them not to grow up to be shallow-minded like yourself. Have a nice day! :)

no.. that means some of us wouldn't be born. Just because they have no job doesn't mean they shouldn't be able to have children, what if your mom is a stay at home mom, technically she is unemployed, so your saying she shouldn't have children!

i don't think anybody should be banned from having children... any woman is entitled to it... what i think the authority should do is impose a law on the maximum no. of children a family should have....

I think we should go by IQ

Imagine this: you are happily employed and have 2 or 3 kids. Then, after ten or more years, your employer decides that he/she does not need you any more. You're fired. Will you a) kill your children; b) give them for adoption; c) love them and do your best to feed them and raise them to be valuable members of the society?

How can it is said that they are poor and unemployed, when they are producing children?

Well, watch a movie as profound as Waterboy, and you will understand the basis for his thought.

We need to have humanity to live in a society. If you start controlling our biological needs, than we become totalitarian.

Yes. I think people should have to be fully evaluated before they are even allowed to have children. It would cut down on all of the abused unwanted children out there and it definitely almost annihilate the welfare system as far as children go.

revolution is brewing

LOL you're right they were both stupid questions.

I think we need to be more concerned about child abusers and pedophiles having children, and less worried about poor people having them.

No, we need bodies to fight our illegitimate wars.

No, the unemployed should not be banned from having children.

They should be banned from having tax money support that child, however.
