Another constructive post.

If you have an argument, please make it out loud so we can all benefit from it.

Couldn't agree more.

We should maybe go further, and advocate that each couple have a "right to reproduction" - up to a maximum of two - which is fair.

From third child onwards, parents should become totally liable for cost of health cover, education costs, or at least significant contribution to each). Triplets etc. excluded.

There would be no logic whatsoever for a government payment to me if I chose to buy a second car, and a third. There is no logic whatsoever for the government to pay me money if I want to look after 15 dogs, three horses and a goat. There is no logic whatsoever for the government to pay me each time I choose to have a child.

I will have all, some, or none of these at my own choice, and pay accordingly.

And what about the children born before your enlightened law is passed.

Don't they have any rights?

I take it you are one of two or less and that your parents were likewise, or if not, that they were in the first 'lucky' two deemed allowable under your system.


When will people understand that children are people too, not just expensive accessories, like overgrown labradors or indeed Ferraris, or something?

Children have rights irrespective of what you may think of their parents.

End of.
