Stupid people having kids

[POWER2]

Is this the greatest threat to our future? Ill tempered and impulsive individuals procreating at an accelerating rate? Is there an ethical way to curb this?
Maybe a bigger focus in our education system on just how big of a task raising a child can be, and the ramifications of being a bad parent?

The scary part is 99% of people who will see and like this post are among those who fit the description. It's hard to see how dumb you are, when you're dumb.

As long as our government continues to pay poor, uneducated, unmarried women to have babies, this will never end. Gotta get that guv'ment check every month. We are generations deep into people that are born into welfare and die on welfare. It is a culture and way of life. Welfare, subsidized housing, food stamps...... for millions it's not even looked at as good or bad, it just "is".

Some forms of government subsidies are temporary and have a finite limit, like unemployment. But, as long as you have a fresh baby in the house, the checks keep comin'.....

Most people on welfare actually have jobs. In fact, most have two jobs. Try again.

And 7th and 8th. She had hell teaching them as well, they did not care or want to be there. They need a big scary man to teach them and not have his hands tied while doing so.

If I were a teacher and the lil' fucktards didn't care about learning, I'd connect the dots for them so they can understand why they should WANT to learn as much shit in school or risk being a druggie loser bum smelling like shit & piss and not having warm food or cold drinks on demand.

Should have school sponsored field trips to go see the homeless and show them what bad choices bring.

Lots of great people
Came from less than respectable starts and vicea versa.
The bigger problem is the lingering effects of colonialism and the proliferation of the cultures who “took over” the earth. What we really need is new countries like the us that took the terrible cultures they originated from and made a better country.

 

[Jack Reacheround]

Idiocracy...art imitates life. Stupid people outbreed intelligent folks at an alarming rate.

This. Fortunately I don’t think the way genetics yields intelligence is so simple as to think two dumb people will automatically have dumb kids. Or the opposite, that two geniuses will automatically have smart kids.

 

[gonads20]

A small part of it is that society doesn't shame single mothers anymore. Back in the day to get pregnant and keep the child without a father was seen has a negative thing. I see girls getting knocked up and throwing it all round social media with no father in sight.

Another thing I notice is all these safety nets are in place now. People can have a bunch of kids and they will get money from the government.

and my last observation is the government has replaced fathers. No longer a woman needs a man to raise kids. All she needs to do is get pregnant and tell the guy to fuck off and collect child support and a government check and be okay.

 

[Merlotte's]

I've met women at bars. Spent days with them. Only to find out that these women have kids.

So I ask out of curiosity "why are you with me and not your kid?"

For some reason this is an offensive question to ask because "don't act like you know me, you don't know me".

I'll be the first one to point out that I'm a complete idiot. An idiot who takes precautions as to not have kids though.

Not just see, but smell. SMELL!!!

I'd imagine that really a lot of the welfare budget in the US is as in the UK really about underhand subsidies to big business, basically propping up people who can't live on the merger wages there paying.

Intelligence is not the issue. Entitlement and lack of values is problem.

I know plenty of lower intelligence people who work hard to support their families that do good honest work.

Alternatively plenty of Boise dimes walking around thinking they can make it big as an instagram star and deserve that princess lifestyle.

 

[Deleted member 110072]

The real issue of course is a lack of values at the top of society were a culture of greed over everything else has been growing for decades.

Lol is this a sarcastic post?

 

[ebe9]

Do you disagree with the threads premise? Do you feel borderline people and people who can barely can handle themselves should be encouraged to reproduce?

I disagree with your premise. It is dehumanizing and again none of your business.

 

[zapataxiv]

Lol is this a sarcastic post?

A little bit.
I do feel that British culture has done a number on the planet. Just because they did it doesn’t mean they are great, and countries like US, Canada, Australia improved a lot on what the British did.

Also history is full of people from humble beginnings that achieved great things.

 

[Phlog]

See thing is, stupid people have always had kids, they just had a lot more when mortality was higher.

Education is the answer to the question you didn't ask.

Derp.

Not picking on you because most posters ITT make the same mistake:

Back when there was less welfare people had more kids. Kids are a resource if you're poor enough, the pooreat people in the world have the most kids, the richest the least. It's always been so.

This doesn’t sound right. Most people I have met on food stamps for example work part time, because if they went full time they would make too much and lose the food stamps. I’m sure welfare is similar. The reality is if you work two jobs and are just barely able to get by, then you deserve food stamps.

 

[usmctanker242]

Some scary posts in this thread basically talking about selective eugenics...holy fuck people, get a grip on reality. Not everybody can be a PhD scholar but that doesn't negate their right to exist and procreate. For fucks sake what is wrong with you mongoloids?

 

[Hatorade]

Intelligent people not having children is an even bigger issue.

 

[KBE6EKCTAH_CCP]

I don't want to be that guy but I am not sure that more intelligent people love their children more than the plainer human variety. And a child needs love before all else.

Pretty sure they attempt to get child support from the biological father before paying welfare. No idea on how hard they try.

yes i more or less just don't like the idea of people having children without knowing the ramifications. You are the biggest factor in your child's success and how they live their life. Having a kid should be treated as more than something you just do

 

[no fat chicks]

I disagree with your premise. It is dehumanizing and again none of your business.

the premise being, hey maybe we should spend sometime sending home the fact that having children and being a parent is an enormous responsibility? That by raising a shit kid you will not only be doing the child a disservice but society as a whole?
Controversial stuff i know. . .

[Only Here for Attachments]

This could all be solved by needing a license to reproduce, but that seems to trigger too many people who'd rather complain about issues than do anything to solve them.

 

[punky brewster]

I'm well aware of that.....

Where in my post did I say they don't have jobs? "TRY AGAIN" lol

The bottom line is, if you don't make enough money to support yourself with one, two, or three jobs, and you rely on other taxpayers to provide your food and shelter, you might want to hold off on having kids.

Talks about the horrors of eugenics...... then uses 'mongoloid' as an insult.

Whether intentionally ironic or not, that is an awesome post....

Sherfront gonna Sherfront.

And no, that's not an exaggeration. Drastic eugenics were a big part of Nazi ideology. The idea was that "unfit" children would only create unfit adults, so you gotta keep these kids from existing in the first place.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_eugenics

In his Second Book, which was unpublished during the Nazi era, Hitler praised Sparta, (using ideas perhaps borrowed from Ernst Haeckel),[19] adding that he considered Sparta to be the first "Völkisch State". He endorsed what he perceived to be an early eugenics treatment of deformed children:

Sparta must be regarded as the first Völkisch State. The exposure of the sick, weak, deformed children, in short, their destruction, was more decent and in truth a thousand times more humane than the wretched insanity of our day which preserves the most pathological subject, and indeed at any price, and yet takes the life of a hundred thousand healthy children in consequence of birth control or through abortions, in order subsequently to breed a race of degenerates burdened with illnesses.

In organizing their eugenics program the Nazis were inspired by the United States' programs of forced sterilization, especially on the eugenics laws that had been enacted in California.[10]

The Law for the Prevention of Hereditarily Diseased Offspring, enacted on July 14, 1933, allowed the compulsory sterilisation of any citizen who according to the opinion of a "Genetic Health Court" suffered from a list of alleged genetic disorders and required physicians to register every case of hereditary illness known to them, except in women over 45 years of age.[22]Physicians could be fined for failing to comply.

In 1934, the first year of the Law's operation, nearly 4,000 persons appealed against the decisions of sterilization authorities. A total of 3,559 of the appeals failed. By the end of the Nazi regime, over 200 Hereditary Health Courts (Erbgesundheitsgerichte) were created, and under their rulings over 400,000 persons were sterilized against their will.

I did a stint witg a local prosecutor's office, and the idiot hyper-angry girl they put me with acted like kids were a disease. Her and anotger guy were talking and realized how much they liked each other more because neither had, nor wanted kids.

Fkn weirdos, really. I don't think it's "smart" to hate kids. It's weird.

 

[Fungoose]

This. Fortunately I don’t think the way genetics yields intelligence is so simple as to think two dumb people will automatically have dumb kids. Or the opposite, that two geniuses will automatically have smart kids.

That’s a fair point, it’s not an absolute. Unfortunately, even bright children raised by two dumb parents are often going to be diminished in other ways as well.

Oh, I know that. But, we live in a different world now.

Kids used to be able to help on the farm, work with dad at the blacksmith shop, help in mom and dad's store, etc. Now they sit on the couch, watch an LED screen and eat cheetos. They bring nothing to the proverbial table, other than the government check. They're not earners, they're consumers.

If you were to take a kid who grew up in a city apartment complex, raised on welfare and compare him to another kid from a third world county, lived in real poverty (with no government welfare), and who had to hustle everyday just to survive, you know which kid is going to have the better work ethic.

But like you said, it has always been this way, and will probably always be this way

 

[Amerikuracana]

Yes I know this really dumb chick that doesn't know how to raise a kid .

I'm partly to blame because I got this dumb chick pregnant

Man.. Going through it now. This last one has turds for brains. You meet them soneolace where people are supposed to be smart, but it doesn't always work out that way. She's also a hard lefty. So yes, she turns to the media for how to do everything. Doesn't work.

That is what most teachers think. Then you call home to their parents and realize they live in a messy trailer and telling them they won’t survive due to not having a job won’t work because their single parent doesn’t have a job either. Or her boyfriend sells drugs. Or in sad cases the parent is never home because they are working 2 jobs to get by so the kid does what they want.

 

[Mark Hunts FIST]

Stupid people breed very intelligent people.

Edit. Shitty parents can have successfull kids. The kids are obviously at a disadvantage.
