EDIT: Just because one or a few women take advantage of the situation doesnt mean the rest are as such.

A group is judged by its worst members, not it's best.

Yeah, thats true unfortunately:(

WTF do you want? I'm chatting on Skype with some Aussies and Kiwis.

Gatsby PM'd you, didn't he? Quik: Which is worse, Families where both parents work, or mail in rebates?

Nope.

Depends on the parents income and who's watching the rugrats while they're at work.

Parents make $58k year, rugrats are put in daycare. And there WorstBuy rebates.

That's not an easy decision to make.

I'm afraid we'll have to re-convene the Ferengi high council before making an official decision.

Well you better start sending out Subspace PM's.

Hi all,

To: TICK.....try purchasing a decent 4 bedroom house in New England on a single income. Yup, you guessed it, if you are not a Surgeon or a Corporate lawyer, forget it.
I have a modest 4 bedroom home and my house taxes alone are in the $6500 area.

To: All with no kids......It is very hard to empathize with those who have them and their needs to care for kids when they are ill. Trust me someday you WILL understand even if it is a niece or a nephew that you are watching over.

We all get reamed on taxes. Sorry it is the truth. Single, married whatever and to you singles pissin and moaning about the taxes. Wait til you have kids and then you will think that taxes were like a gift compared to the cost of children and the "costs" that come with them.

On which frequency? I forgot the co-ordinates.

We're expecting a new transponder but who knows when it will arrive. Apparently it was ordered from the NewEgg galaxy and being sent via UPS?

This is exactly why you should only have kids if your rich. If you don't have $600k in the bank, don't have kids.

Ack, UPS. They'll probably break it, or launch it into a star or inject into the nearest warp core. Also, these days NewEgg is having problems with it's interstellar tracking systems. And further, do I look like a com-console? I sure don't feel like one.

More government intervention into our private lives is the absolute LAST thing this nanny-state country needs.

I have a niece and a nephew. My nephew lived with my parents and me all through high school because my sister made some mistakes (not the issue). I feel I have a good grasp on what its like to raise a young child, while I don't know the feeling of having my own child I know about and have seen first hand the tough times.

Possibly move out of new england if you can't afford to live there? Kids are not a right.

Two options.

1. We continue to "help" poor people, but with that help, we monitor and babysit them.

Or.

2. If you don't want to be babysat, you don't get the government handouts.

We won't babysit you, but don't come asking for a hand out.

What about the people who don't have children? Should they have to pick up the slack?

The expectation is that you get your work done. If you can't get your work done you lose your job.

But like I said, eventually something will happen in everyone's personal life that affects their job.
