    Do people on the dole get the snip for free. If they dont, they should as it would save a fortune in extra allowances. Before anyone starts going mental i didnt say they should be forced to get the snip...

    Like after hours would know. Ask your GP can it be done on the medical card.

    Is it not bad enough that they have to shop in Penneys?

    OP, are you in a long term relationship or just trying to save on condoms on a night out?

    Whatever about the snip being free for people on the dole etc, thats just a personal choice tbh, but this thread put a very memorable quote in my head which I heard a few years ago and tis one of the few quotes I actually 100% agree with really, probably wont be favoured by everyone or even many tbh but it does make sense by Sir MM :)

    “You should have to pass an IQ test before you breed. You have to take a driving test to operate vehicles and an SAT test to get into college. So why dont you have to take some sort of test before you give birth to children? When I am President, thats the first rule I will institute.”

    Here you go. Free on the medical card. Let us know how it goes.

    You'd get on well with Mrs gufnork.

    What happens if they fail the test? Baby taken into care when born?

    They throw in a free blender, just in case.

    It would be for me. Nudge nudge.







    It's actually such a simple operation that a doc performed it on himself.

    how much did you pay for your lobotomy?

    genuinely curious....

    Well I would assume, and hope, such a test would be taken before the person actually got/tried to get pregnant tbh :)

    If they fail the test, how can they be stopped having sex without contraception or even with contraception but it failing? Or would failing the test mean mandatory sterilisation?

    Basically just chop their cock off all together?! What age would you give this test? What if the mother was a genius and the oul fella a tool, what then?

    I would say that if the test was failed that they would be put on some reliable form of birth control such as the pill etc/sterilization if really needed, since we dont have any form of abortion clinic in this country as of yet :rolleyes:

    But to fail the test would mean basically that you were unfit to parent a child because of some actual reason, as there should be something to study of before you take the test as well as your own thinking/way of going about things etc, its a big decision to either stop someone having children/force someone to so the test in question shouldnt be at all flippant :)

    Tbh if the woman is on a reliable form of contaception and is taken properly at least then, as much as accidents do/can happen, its minimising the risk greatly imho.
    As for the age the test should be mandantory, thats also a personal choice, but imho Id say up to about mid 20s minimum then the test should be taken by people who want/think about to have children, but thats just my opinion, thats a very personal part of it.

    More kids needed rather than less, when I'm getting the pension I'd like a population triple what we have now so they can pay for me :D

    I asked my nurse would they tie my tubes after I have my second child by c-section, they said not until you are at least 35. I dare say they say that to young men too.

    What if they passed the test but were crap parents, does someone take the baby and look after it for them? Is this where the experts who carried out the test come in?
    No one knows what it's like to be a parent until you actually become a parent.

    The snip is not reversable. Would an implant on the women not be better. 3/5 years with no risk of having a baby

    How do IQ tests prove anything other than an ability to do well in IQ tests?

    Anyway test ≠ real world experience

    Good to know.

    It's not something I'm considering now but down the road its probably something I'll opt for.

    Would never have thought it was covered by the medical card, they should advertise this service because there are people do want it done.
