Our 2 children were the result of a loving,commited relationship and we knew where to draw the line.We have done our bit for the future of our species and at that point we stepped out of the line...
Its very simple really, nothing dark or dirty about it......;)
Why do you assume that inherent traits must be dark or dirty? Weird.All over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda system, there is constant pressure to make people feel that they are helpless, that the only role they can have is to ratify decisions and to consume.0 -

I would agree there Willy, the WTC and CTC system are flawed ,they are indeed subsidies which is wrong.They also encourage businesses to keep wages low, try looking at some of my previous posts and you will see that I am indeed a critic of businesses...
I'll take you at your word on that. But why attack the recipient, rather than either the system or the real beneficieries? It seems that you are blaming the victim, quite frankly.0 -

I'm just glad you googled it, perhaps you'll learn something, who cares if it's hyphenated or not (apart from saddo's of course).
Seriously, what else do you expect me to say to people who treat children as if they are commodities, if not "up yours"?All over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda system, there is constant pressure to make people feel that they are helpless, that the only role they can have is to ratify decisions and to consume.0 -

If you're going to correct anyone's spelling, it's a good idea to check whether they are right before you offer an incorrect alternative!0 -

Having the children you can provide for by your own efforts is not treating them as commodities; having children to increase your benefits and tax credits is.0 -

If I've changed the spelling in any way, I'm most sorry as it was not my intention. I'm much happier debating the issue rather than typos, of which I make plenty.0 -

The self-righteous brigade normally resort to spell checking your posts when they can't answer the questions.All over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda system, there is constant pressure to make people feel that they are helpless, that the only role they can have is to ratify decisions and to consume.0 -

The urge to breed is not dependant on salary (don't believe I had to actually explain that one! lmao - see Africa if you don't believe me!).
LMAO at your desperation to move the thread when the heat is on.
Heat? Oh, you mean your sadly flickering candle!:rotfl:0 -

We are a sophisticated and well developed, wealthy society. WE can afford ALL of OUR children.0
