    I think the Chinese have it spot on when they limit couple to 2 children (May even be 1)

    We should do that over here, limit people to 1 child per person, Unless they could prove that they could support an extra child, and for each extra child they must prove that they can support said child.

    I've just had enough of some of these scumbags just popping out kid after kid then claiming a fortune in benefits, never have to work a day in there life and the likes of myself, hard working tax payer, having to pay out just cos they can't keep there legs closed.

    As for the young lads, Fine them and stop there dole or charge them 33% of there earnings for every child they father, that'll soon sort them out.

    What does everyone else think?

    My first thought was 'your ma' but then I thought 'the OP should never be allowed to have kids for fear they will grow up to be bigots'. You decide which you like best OP.
    Ive just had enough of people putting down those less well off! I seem to hear the most rubbish from low paid people, go figure.

    Forced abortions, we'd still have to keep abortions illegal for those that wanted it though.


    so, what? pregnancy squads roaming the streets asking pregnant women for their credentials?

    if you needed to you could hide a pregnancy until the window for abortions has passed.

    and once again, what about children that are born at home? you can't abort a baby*.



    *i mean baby as in born, rather than a fetus still in the womb.

    And if you only have a provisional license to have kids you must have a fully licensed parent with you at all times.

    I think there was some talk of delaying puberty (Don't know what country) in teens until 18. Would solve a few problems.

    it is probably impossible but, assuming it were there would be a lot of problems.

    you would get a bunch of 18 year olds who are full of raging hormones* and able to buy drink.

    *it would be like allowing twelve-fourteen year olds into clubs now and filling them with alcohol.

    I think scummers will pay as much attention to it as they would any other licence or law. And what would be the reprecussions of having a child outside this licence?

    Mate you really should warn people if you’re going to put a photo up like that.

    While I understand why you did it is a really disturbing image.

    It seems to me that the economic problems this country faces always brings people to the fore who would willingly deny the Basic Human Rights of others, just to reduce their own tax bill.:(:(

    Maybe we should also murder the children whose parents could afford to support them two years ago, and are no longer in a position to do so - through no fault of their own, I might add!

    It's a grossly unjust solution, of course, but, hey - the demands of extreme Capitalism must be met, right?:rolleyes:

    I always thought that it was a good idea.

    I mean, you need a
    • licence for a dog
    • licence for a TV
    • licence to drive
    • licence to shoot
    • licence to thrill...
    I wouldn't have it brought in for tax reasons or to reduce the population, but rather to stop complete and utter fúcktards from breeding, and poorly raising their kids.

    Blah, blah, basic human right, blah blah. I don't care. A lot of people shouldn't be allowed to bring children into this world. And making them pass a test, and possess a licence should stop them.

    How it would be policed, I don't know. What should be done if some procreates without a licence? Prison? I'm not sure.

    This a perfect solution. It would be almost impossible for a scumbag to obtain a license.

    Therefore knocked up scumbag has baby taken away.
    Baby given to good people.
    Baby grows up to be a respectable individual.
    Scumbags die out.

    Everyones happy:D

    WOW thats a great idea and it would really work! Have you ever thought of running for election? What about running of a cliff? By my standard someone that believes taking babies of their parents because their parents are not respectable individuals are in fact a scumbag! Dont let that type of scumbag have kids and we have a solution.
    Everyones happy:D I guess its all about perspective.

    Scumbags have seven more children.

    It's impossible to stop people breeding. The state can already take the children off their parents, I suppose what you'd need then is bigger orphanages to deal with all the new children under the states care. Bigger but with less paedophiles obviously.

    Yep, but it would be hard enough to get abortion here, never mind forced ones.

    The snip would a better option.

    While I cant stand the filth firing kids out for the benefit, its a bit drastic to do a China on it. Maybe paying them a lump sum to get sterilised?

    Yeah, thats a great idea. Simple, motivated by self interest, major money-saving.

    It does surprise me that you have to have a license to fish, but any woman can pop out a human like its no big deal.

    I also lament he phrase they use: "Having a baby".

    Girls: you are NOT having a baby. You are having an ADULT. It just starts off as an infant, but 46 years later, they might not be so cute. Its terrifying how candidly women talk about having a kid. Terrifying.
