What if there's a law that required you to meet a certain income requirement b4 having a baby?

I think when someone is pregnant they should have to take some basic classes.

I have no problem with that.... but what are you going to do to the people who don't take the classes?

no idea.

how much money you have is not a bases on who will make a good parent. the family across the street from me are rather poor. But they are the best parents i have seen. there children are kind, smart and very respectfull. the 2 oldest boys (15,17) help me out wiht stuff that i have trouble doing all the time. Just every now and then i have to throw on some extra hamburgers or hotdogs on the grill.

I also know a few very rich people (one friend of mine makes $400k a year) and while a nice guy and great business partner. he is a very bad father. he does not play with his son (5 yrs old). he lets the kid do whatever he wants etc.

Income is not the issue. Stupidity is the issue.

The actual issue is fate. Things happen to people, someday it might happen to you.

right, I can see it now:

US implements Chinese birth control--says poor can't afford to have babies anyway because of the cost of health care, education, car insurance, etc.

Bush said, "If our Capitalism is good enough for the Chinese, then their birth control is good enough for US."

The US is to start forced abortions in late September.

When you goto public school, your gota show your immunzation shots b4 attending. why not just add birth control shots that last a year to that list?

Or add some sort of liquid birth control to the water, like floride?

And when you're ready to have a baby, fill out the forms to prove that you can financially raise one, and the govt sends you a pill that reverses the effects.

No more class warfare between the haves and have nots because there will be no more poor!??!?!?!?!?!?!!?

hey, shouldn't we do the same thing for voting?!?! income requirements for voting!!! I'm sure that will go though, no problems!!!

Obviously someone prone to violent anger would be ruled out... Hypothetically it could be stretched to encompass low self esteem, even pessimism/defeatism, who knows?

How do you define violent anger? Someone that yells at his monitor and smacks the keyboard when playing certain computer games? Someone that curses when a blonde on her cellphone stops up traffic? What about pessimism? Do people think the nation is turning for the worse not deserve to have children? If one group had to be prevented from having children I'd pick the group of people that want to control people's lives. They're the ones that turn their children into spoiled pansies that can't do anything on their own.

Don't get so violent and angry man!! :Q

:laugh:

But yeah, you and the other red-faced people with veins throbbing in your foreheads really need to calm down. If an offhand comment gets you this upset, I can't see you living past 40 due to hypertension (another 25 years seems like forever, but trust me it'll arrive before you know it). Obviously these things will never come to pass, we'll devolve to chimps first - and at an alarming rate, if the current trend continues and keeps intensifying.

Awesome idea! Think of the economic stimulation this would bring. The Big 3 would get sales of full size vans converted to Mobile Abortion Vehicles(MAVs) and all the jobs in Law Enforcement. Regular patrols through Trailer Parks and Inner City neighbourhoods. Surveilance of women getting fatter. Pregger Checkpoints setup in Malls, on sidewalks, or even Door-to-door. Awesome!

I want to live in your Paradise!!

Because there are lots of wealthy people who are ##^% parents and lots of poor people who are great parents.

This from the guy that blew a gasket and rambled on about the decline of society when responding to someone's misuse of the word "then" versus "than" in a forum post.

Science fiction authors rarely even come close when predicting the specifics of a certain situation, I'm sure your vision is even farther off. I'd picture something similar to modern-day China though with more respect to individual rights.
