Family Free-Riders (Childless adults are economic free riders)

I'd prefer those who don't pay taxes to be out of the voting pool. Otherwise you are supporting (in oh so many ways) irresponsible non-taxpaying welfare dynasties over those who are productive in business, if not in children.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

The childless shouldn't be allowed to vote. They have little interest in the future of the nation.

Darn right! What do the childless think this is, a free country???

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

WRONG, I am almost 36.

And I see my friends with kids stuck while I run and they are the ones who regret it, not me!!!

Grandkids, please.

Old spinster, I am married. I do not play Bridge. And We will be on the bike not a senior bus tour!

70's whose planning on living that long?

[Scourge of God]

WRONG, I am almost 36.

Can't be wrong. I said "probably."

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Hey, Shannon! I'm childless! Why don't I just stop working, go home, apply for welfare, and stop paying taxes! Then you'll see a REAL parasite, buzzard-breath!

[Die_Hard Conservative Lady]

Thank you, you said what I couldn't put into words as nice as you did....!

[steve-b]

Solidarity. That's a good word in anybody's vocabulary.

A.N.S.W.E.R. is fond of it, I notice....

[Brytani]

Well I'm a Redskins fan so I root for the Skins and anyone playing the Cowboys...

I remember that game, I was going crazy...just too bad the Texans haven't been able to win many more since that one!!

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

Yes wrong, I was referring to this statement!

"By your thirties you’ll have a whole different attitude."

[Allegra]

Yes, but unlike some here, I don't see anything divine or entitling about them.

That's because you're cool.

Scourge and Purge are just funny.

And fulla crap.

Go to bed, Allegra.

OK, OK! Good night!

[HairOfTheDog]

In your fifties you’ll hate all your friends who talk about their grandkids.

No more than I ~hate~ my friends now who talk about their kids. (Hint: I don't)

There are lots of joys in life in a free country... don't mistakenly think I want yours, and I won't resent you for being presumptuous and wrong. :~D Deal?

[Mrs. Don-o]

I was thinking Lech Walesa.

[stands2reason]

Go to hell, troll.

[CzarNicky]

George Washington Carver had no children. Was he a freeloader?

The original George Washington didn't have children either.

[Scourge of God]

And fulla crap.

Oh, what a zinger! Yes! I am cut to the quick! So wise! So profound! So elegantly stated! I reel, staggering, from such a heavyweight intellectual blow!

[Allegra]

Oh, what a zinger! Yes! I am cut to the quick! So wise! So profound! So elegantly stated! I reel, staggering, from such a heavyweight intellectual blow!

Gosh. Thanks. {blush!}

That biological clock is ticking.

You should try reading the actual conversation before you spout off nonsense. I've got my Mother-In-Law for this kind of brow beating and I certainly don't need it from you.

[numberonepal]

Time moves very quickly here. ;-)

Here's hoping you do too.

[Scourge of God]

Yes you do. Give me your email address, and I’ll send you lots more.

"The childless shouldn't be allowed to vote."

Au contraire, voting rights should be allocated as a percentage of the tax you pay since you are voting on who will decide what will be done with your money.

Besides, there will soon be no room for children, the space having been taken up by illegal immigrants and their children. Humm, that gives me an idea: every childless American can be forced to adopt a Mexican family and pay for the Mexican childrens education, medical costs, etc. But then again, that's no different from the present status.
