Challenge: Accepted

The South does not have proprietary rights on stupid people. Idiots like that can live anywhere... ever watch Jersey Shore?

It's another stereotype in our society. Ever notice that there aren't many TV personalities, news anchors, weather reporters, sports casters etc. that speak with a "southern accent". That's what Jeff Foxworthy says anyway.

Would you perhaps like to re-think that question now?

I doubt much thinking was involved.

Next thing you know, conservatives will be wanting the gooberment involved in enforcing Eugenics.

After all, it works for our dogs right?

To you as I posted to Stan and another member. Let's not get personal.

I just don't like being forced by the gov't to pay for other peoples kids.
Spent the morning at Brenners Childrens hospital with Magic. We go every week and he helps the kids with physical therapy. "Playing" with a dog is fun rather than "work".

Well, as tempting as that sounds, I don't think I would go that far unless I was the one making the decisions, ;-) but, in all seriousness, I wouldn't object to eliminating the rewards (tax benefits, ADC, WIC payments, etc.) which the government dispenses for child production. We are long past the point where there is a need to encourage people to have children. Personally I would like to see some effort to reduce our numbers. No, I'm not suggesting killing folks or even letting grandma die. A little procreation discipline is all it really takes.

I can only hope that you never fall upon hard times and need some government assistance. If you do have that misfortune come your way, I would hope that you stand by your principles and would rather starve than have somebody else's tax dollars help you.
