Go get a job or an education but don't make us pay for your kids.
Can you believe this guy? Is it just me or is Merovingian a complete moron? Anybody else with me on this?

You posted the definition of REGIMENT, the noun you turd. The definition of REGIMENTATION the transitive verb is

tr.v. reg·i·ment·ed, reg·i·ment·ing, reg·i·ments (rj-mnt)
1. To form into a regiment.
2. To put into systematic order; systematize.
3. To subject to uniformity and rigid order.


I was wrong. Apparently you don't know how to use a dictionary, moron.
WOW! You still cannot provide a solution. Asking people to pay their way is some sort of strict social order? Are you serious, get a job!

i think he way refering to the whole "need a permit to give birth" thing.

No, he's just trolling. Needing permit to give birth just seems insane in this day and age but then again so does paying people more money for not having a job and having more kids. Anyone can troll here especially on this subject, it takes courage and intelligence to find solutions.

The libertarian in you wont provide state funded birth control.. but does allow for the state to fund and encourage families to remain on a cyclical cycle..

Do you think the current system of welfare is libertarian-approved? :confused:

I agree, do libertarian rights allow people to bear children that they cannot take care of? Do they allow the state to pay for the child? Doesn't seem very libertarian to do that, so then what are we left with? Let the child starve?

certainly better than your alternative. For that matter even zendari's idea is better than yours.

I have not commited to a solution, I'm exploring, which solution did you think that I was poised to defend? And which solutions do you think are viable?

Private charities. They can enact whatever restrictions/conditions they want for their aid.

Should oracles not provide solutions? I find it interesting how anyone would back a solutionless idea. It happens, "solve world hunger" now who is with me? You have to think things though more than that to see the problems with declarations made by "oracles".

Good point, but is the idea that people should starve if not? I'm just curious about you opinion.

My reply was a spin on terrorist vs freedom fighter

Many people here who identify themselves as either Republican or Democrat call people trolls who do not speak what their party wants to have heard...

Or when someone says something that they do not want to agree with then they can be considered a troll etc...

I think anyone contemplating parenthood shouldhave to post a performance bond. Live up to your partental responsibilities and the kid stays out of trouble you'll have a way to pay for college, you screw up or the kid screws up you lose the bond. Fail to post a bond => garnish wages until bond posted.

I don't understand you question. Are you trying to set me up to say I want kids to die or that I'd be OK with it? Could you elaborate on your point?

Interesting duhunan. I'm not a dem or a republican, I think of people who troll as people who just come to argue baseless points just to argue but I don't know a formal def. For example,

Ideally the married guy with kids would get more deducted from his check than the single guy.

First, most companies don't cover insurance 100%. It's usually split with the employee, and so married people do pay more.

Second, why do single people care that the company pays more for other people's insurance? Are they jealous? Why are you promoting jealousy?

Finally, why shouldn't it be the company's right to choose?

Why are you promoting jealousy in this context is just picking a senseless fight. He likes to argue you should see the guys posting history. If someone feels that the company is disriminating the are clearly not trying to promote jealousy to point out the alleged descrimination. It's just not very community minded, IMO.

Why are people complianing about welfare? It's less than 1% of federal budget and right now has time limits -- I think 2 years max which seems to be enough time for most to get on thier feet. I wish they had to work for it a bit.. but it's really a small expenditure which I think does families and most of all the defenless, e.g. unable to work, children some good.

Sure, I wasn't clear here. If there is no private aid, what happens to the children? (from a libertarian stand point IYO)

I see two possibilities, one is that they starve or two they are supported by federal funds (not very libertarian). I guess I'm asking if there is a third option IYO.

I agree Zebo, but do you think that people should be reproducing while on welfare?

Well first, I certainly don't believe that if we had serious welform reform, or if it was removed entirely, children would start dying left and right. There are *many* non-government-funded programs out there to help people. Why would private aid disappear? :confused:

Even if I have libertarian views, I certainly am no anarchist. I fully recognize the need for governmental infrastructure, subsidies, and social programs. With reform, such as dahunan's suggestion of financial and parental counciling, along with work-incentive programs, welfare can be restored the temporary "bootstrap" process it was intended to be.

We'd still have child-welfare agencies, so if a child is in danger of starving or what-have-you, due to neglect or lack of effort on the parrents' part, he/she can still be taken away as necessary.

Private charities. They can enact whatever restrictions/conditions they want for their aid.

Been there done that. I've seen Bobby Kennedy on film touring the south and appalachia in the mid sixties where starving children were. This is how and why welfare came about. One reason it does'nt work is charities are for the most part localized. Meaning rich cities have rich charities while poor areas have poor or none charity. Another reason it does'nt work is amounts needed far exceed what people are willing to give freely. If we take all social programs which is around 1 trillion dollars, people would have to give 5 times the amount to charity to replace them since giving in USA is ~200billion a year. Nevermind allocation of that is usually to anything but poor folks. But Universities, libraries, science and research foundations, pastors new plane, etc instead. I find it hard to believe poeple who so hate paying taxes are going to voluntarly ante up 5x what they normally give.

Meh get rid of welfare for all I care. When the stories hit news again and children are begging on the streets like in mexico it will come back with a vengance. They pay just enough today to keep the public ignorant to the dispair..out of sight out of mind.

While you're at it get rid of public schools. I hate paying so much property taxes for something I have never used.
