Yes, Scourge, how do you explain that?
Here’s my response: “Define ‘degrading people’.”
The argument in this article can be summed up easily:
Drug addict welfare case mother who has six crack babies by five different fathers? Good.
Pope Benedict? Bad.
I have to disagree with that. People like that are more like black holes. They suck in and horde resources, vote down infrastructure improvements, create an instant gratification culture, and in general contribute very little to the coming generation.
Black holes? Nope, not degrading at all.
Do I need the sarcasm tag?
eesh. memememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememememe.......
Well, really, that isn't all that bad.
Why do you keep bringing up memes? ;)
But a foolish statement, such as voting rights of childless people should be revoked, deserved a wild reply!
What about people with ugly or stupid children?
They would get the vote when they leave the military. But like any other government employee, they have a vested interest in increasing the amount of money their branch of the government receives. So, that conflict of interest should prevent them from voting.
Actually, the more important issue for me is our tax status here in DC. DC politicians keep asking that DC be made a state, but I tend to take the opposite view. DC should not receive representation, but DC residents should also not be required to pay Federal taxes. Sort of like Puerto Rico- no taxation, no representation.
They pay double!
"What about people with ugly or stupid children?"
They should have negative votes. They should have to give away one vote for every ugly, stupid child they have.
John Kerry's parents?
LOL we think alike! (see my 292)
Heck, for that you can live in a villa in Mexico with the full-time services of a couple of senoritas who will be glad to dress up as nurses if you like... ;)
Maybe you'll be dead before you're in your dotage, but who cares? You're gonna have all that money to spend on yourself and your wife, MM!
Life will be good. And you'll probably have more visitors than Freedom Surge, whose kids will no doubt expect him to euthanize himself when his prescriptions get too expensive...
How many ugly, stupid children do FreedomSurge and Scourge of God have??
The market always wins.
LOL! I don't know, but I get to be the judge or whether a child is ugly or stupid.
They may have beautiful children, but any one is ugly, I get the vote!
Every person in the US receives some financial benefit from the federal government, either in direct funds or benefits that come from federal tax dollars. Most voters have a vested interest in how much of a benefit they receive and vote in a way to increase that benefit.
Since all voters have a vested interest in how much benefit they receive from federal tax dollars and vote in a way to increase that benefit for themselves then by your definition nobody should have the right to vote.
Perfect, we'll just scrap the constitution as a living document that has finally passed away, start a dictatorship and have someone who has absolutely no vested interest in any financial benefit from the federal government run it. Perfect plan eh?
Well, I will say that genetics aren't in their kids' favor as far as the intelligence factor goes...
Can I be a judge too? I'd like an extra vote.
