Re: The Philosopher and the unsuited breeders
"Only the qualified are allowed to work, but even the most disqualified are allowed to breed. It should be the other way around."@@@@ And the qualified, employed, taxpayers (at least here in the U.S .) wind up paying the expenses for a lot of children carelessly produced by the disqualified breeders. If one tunes into practically any daytime teevee talk show in the U.S . these days, one sees a frightening number of unmarried, unemployed teenage girls absolutely *determined* to have babies of their own.I'd suggest that somebody simply give them a puppy instead -- except they don't look mature enough or intelligent enough to raise a dog, let alone a human being.-- Nanaea

Disturbing...If they indeed wish to become pregnant and not have a husband to share
such great responsibility, which a child is. Then I must agree with you that they are too young to have children yet. I am not sure they realize how much work there is in having children. When you are two then it is alright but alone and even unemployed then it is very rough indeed.Let us hope that if they indeed become pregnant then they have families who is able to support them. If nothing else for the sake of the child.-Selwyn
