Wow, such blanket statements about anyone younger than you.
Maybe you have a low oppinion of these "soulless" people you speak of simply because they recognise that you are a backwards old geiser who despises anyone who dares to live a lifestyle that is different from his own. That must be why you like the marines, as they are the only ones still indoctrinated enough to believe whatever you tell them.
I love that jammer is a "backwards old geezer"! That's priceless.

Maybe you can't read or have a comprehension problem .. or maybe you see what you need to see to maintain your own BS beliefs .. who knows .. or cares?
I didn't expect much from you .. and you didn't disappoint at all, very predictable.

You know it's not just young people being irresponsible (though some of that is occurring), on the flip side young people today do not have the support network they used to have 50-100 yrs. ago which makes it harder to raise the children they have. More parents than ever are in the workforce, working more hours. My great grandmother stayed with my grandmother when her 4 kids were little for 5-6 yrs. until they were old enough to live on their own and my great great grandmother lived with my great grandmother to help out with my grandmother. My grandmother didn't live with my parents growing up, but provided a strong support network. She and my grandfather kept all of us grandchildren for weeks at a time growing up. Now it's my generation's turn and my grandparents are busy "enjoying retirement." My parents both work, my sister is the only one of us with my niece who stays at home now. My brother and his affianced are struggling with this issue now as they're looking at getting married in another 2-3 months and trying to figure out how to have kids. I think it's just as unfair for people retiring today to get to on their soapbox and complain about "young people today being irrisponsible." I'm sorry, what are you doing to help raise today's current generation.
::sorry, for the rant. It just irks me when I see my friends struggling with how to raise a family.::
Originally posted by DoctorDaraI totally agree. It goes back to the old 'it takes a village to raise a child' arguement. In some cultures, the grandparents traditionally stay at home to raise the children as the parents are younger and stronger and can contribute more physical labor to the community.

Then you can forget about the things your granny did to make your sorry exixtence possible and go back to your part-time job at the strip-club .. you're free at last .. a 1st class citizen, and after all is said and done we all will finally understand .. it's all about you.
Screw granny, the stupid old geezer, who cares if she loved and nurtured you. She needs to get a job and become a modern woman, she's holding back progress.
Originally posted by DoctorDaraTrust me, young people of today are no worse (and probably marginally better) than young people of yesterday. They are playing the hand they have been dealt the best they can. No shame in that.

Regardless of what some backwards old geezers might say. 😉
Originally posted by scipio2The cost of single parenthood is much more than a vasectomy. They should encourage more of those.
70% of young 'offenders' in Britain come from single parent homes according to government statistics, and one in two cohabiting couples split up before the 5th birthday of their offspring compared with one in twelve married couples.
Clearly the government policy must be aimed at encouraging marriage by offring financial and other incentives.
Originally posted by slappy115Thank you Hitler, we don't practice eugenics. The right to have children is considered a basic right except in say China. How would you dictate who can't have children? The poor? The stupid? The short? Maybe only allow people with blond hair and blue eyes to breed? Wait, over 35, too old?

not force people to have them.
Given the tremendous overpopulation in many parts of the world (most
of them without the means to produce enough food for themselves),
this is not a bad idea.
The selfish insistence on having children (because they're sooooo cute)
combined with the decreased infant mortality rate combined with the
(largely male) refusal to use contraception is going to be a major,
major world problem in the upcoming century.
Again, I'm not arguing that a person has a right to have kids,
but a right comes with responsibility and the wanton reproduction
that is leading this planet into what will certainly become a tremendous
food shortage.

I think that parents who are drug users and parents with criminal records are more harmful factors to children than whether the parents are divorced. These types of parents (i.e addicts and crimianls) are also more likely to get divorced. In other words these studies you are quoting are not very meanigful. Single parents can be just as good as married parents.
Who cares? If u can't keep your manhood in your keks and consider any responsibility then why look elsewhere for any help from the state? Put your balls in the fridge! n Why debate? Children r not delegative financially. So stuff the question to those who ask it, the ones who don't care!
