Agreed. Children are a priveledge, not a right. If you cannot afford to bring another mouth into the world, you shouldn't be so irresponsible to do so.

You're making this too easy. So what should happen to the offspring when a couple exercises their right to reproduce but lacks the responsibility to be able to care for their children? What should happen when a pair of idiots get together and decide to have a dozen kids when they have next to no income? What's it going to be, CSS? Socialism or eugenics?

I can't decide what should happen on a hypothetical situation such as that. Perhaps relatives or friends might feel the need to take the responsibility and persuade the parents to take appropriate actions. Perhaps the parents will become motivated enough to find a home and put food on the table. Maybe a mixture of the two? Charitable organizations might supplement food and housing costs as they set up a job interview for the parents. If parents are total scum, and the child is abused, the police can step in and take criminal actions against the parents, and the child would be offered to near relatives first, then suitable friends, then adoption. Charitable organizations and volunteers would run the adoptions centers and pay for schooling. Life isn't perfect, there will always be suffering because it is part of life. Eventually the sun will explode and all life on the planet will be incinerated to death.

So you just assume "charitable organizations" will take care of everything, huh? For someone who distrusts humanity so much, you sure do put a lot of faith in their generous nature. Because see, this isn't a hypothetical situation... Sure, the "dozen kids" thing was an exaggeration, but lots of people have kids without having the ability to support them. Most of them end up on government programs (Which you would of course eliminate). There are even a fair amount of people who still consider both contraception and abortion to be "sins," so you can just imagine how fast their families grow... Do you really think that charitable donations would be enough to care for all of those kids? Because if not, well... Talking about a lot of infants dying of starvation.

Author of the Guardians Saga (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels)I don't know, this is all hypothetical. All I know is when the government has the power to command markets, redistribute wealth as welfare, and manipulate currency supplies, the economy suffers. Only the top 1% benefits from a highly regulated market and socialism. Once you give government the power to command markets and manipulate money supplies it will be taken over and used to rob and enslave the public while the top 1% in control of the system enrich themselves with vast amounts of money and power. With a free market economy and sound money, all those babies will be better off.

You're changing the subject. If your final answer is "I don't know", then maybe it's time to rethink your theory.

You said that already, and it's still not an answer... Have I triggered a buffer overflow? Is your response engine stuck in an infinite loop?

Perhaps in your own logic. I always know when I win an argument when the other person starts foaming at the mouth as in your case.

You win the argument when you disprove the other person's position. I'm still waiting for an answer.

Compared to the free market, in which the top 1% take their money to manipulate the market to enrich themselves with further funds and secure power. I'd take the system that pretends to stop them myself.

In a free market system, competition enables the little guys to team up against the big guys in a way that is nearly impossible in a regulated market. Today the regulators regulate in favor the the big guys and that is why we have a fascistic command & control corporatacracy instead of a constitutional republic.

Are we going to go 'round and 'round again? You admitted that you don't have a solution to the vast number of people who are NOT responsible enough to support their children and to only reproduce when they can afford to support their offspring. So are you ready to adjust your position yet?

Must be a magical little world this has all happened in. Last I checked the little guys generally only made it by hitting niches the big guys wouldn't touch, and then eventually getting wiped out by someone who's doing the same thing with a bigger budget.

The solution is having an economic environment where everyone can earn enough to have a home and put food on the table. That happens in a free market economy. Perhaps relatives or friends might feel the need to take the responsibility and persuade the parents to take appropriate actions. Perhaps the parents will become motivated enough to find a home and put food on the table. Maybe a mixture of the two? Charitable organizations might supplement food and housing costs as they set up a job interview for the parents. Or we could just forgo human rights, liberty, and prosperity and submit to megalomaniacs. Strap them down and render their reproductive organs useless, if they dare resist throw them in prison. Hell, throw them into a mobile execution van and harvest their organs right their as the body is being transported to the organ buyers. Let the government thugs take people's children and sell them on the market to rapist, only after the thugs have had their fun of course.

Last time I checked we haven't had a free market since 1913.
