WE MUST NOT PAY TEENS TO BE MUMS

30 May 2005

SOME good news from the baby factory - Britain's most famous single mums are going to take responsibility for their children.

"We don't need their dads," says Jade, the middle sister (she's 14). "We give them all the love and support they need."

Great! So can we have our £31,000 a year back?

........The middle-class get degrees. The working-class get jobs. And the underclass get a baby as soon as they can.

THIS fellow makes interesting comments about how Christian the US is, and why we lag behind the UK in teenage pregnancies....and also decries the public having to PAY for these little indescretions....

[goodnesswins]

THIS is an EXCERPT....

Over $56,000 a year???

How stunningly sad. Time to bring back the old fashioned concept of shame.

[The_Englishman]

That's between four of them.

The three young mums and their mother (who is also unemployed - these things are hereditary it seems).

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I thought they were talking about FLOWERS...

I know, but...

...over $56,000 a year???

In America, there is a vogue for militant virginity among some young people but that is largely inspired by the huge Christian community in the States. It could never happen here.

America is a deeply religious country - Britain is not. America has the Almighty - we have Big Brother.

Looks like the evangelists have their work cut out for them. There is a great Christian rock band called "Delirou5" from the UK. I didn't realize a lack of faith in God was a problem in the UK too.

"We don't need their dads," says Jade, the middle sister (she's 14). "We give them all the love and support they need."

No dear, you don't. Taxpayers, going to work every day, earning money, paying taxes and being responsible, do.

Sleazebuckets like you and your sisters simply confirm the fact that if a society rewards pathological behavior, they will simply get more of it.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

LOL!

[Publius6961]

Over $56,000 a year???

Closer to $76,000, when you factor in the taxpayer-paid housing and health care they get.

[The_Englishman]

Believe me, it's ridiculous.

And we can look forward to their kids going straight onto benefits when they hit their teens (and probably siring a few illegitimates to boot).

This culture needs to broken.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

If the mothers were giving them ALL the love and support they needed each new generation wouldn't be continuing to participate in promiscuous sex practices.

[Anvilhead]

What the hell is wrong with you!?!?!?

You really expect these MOTHERS to give their CHILDREN non-designer clothes. They need at least one meal out every night at a four star restaurant, and you, you compassionless, stony hearted, black souled, greedy CONSERVATIVE, can't expect them to take their innocent babes out in anything less then a 4 door full sized Jaguar.

Granted only one can drive, but the other two need cars for the kids or else those net curtains will start fluttering and there goes the little angels self esteem.

I mean really how do you expect the mealy mouthed crotch pheasants..errr.....doting young mothers to get along?

Hey, I'm not greedy!

The only differnece between this and what was going on 20 years or more ago in the UK is that the girls are younger.

Only a civilization founded on (gasp!) traditional Christian values has any staying power. We are only one generation away from the 60's and look how far things have fallen, then look at the nearly 200 years before.

[RexBeach]

Sorry, Tony. It's too late. Great Britain isn't "great" anymore. And more's the pity.

[Lorianne]

I agree. The dads should foot at least half the bill.

[proudofthesouth]

Why isn't the subject of putting the babies up for adoption not being discussed in the media? These "Mums" obviously don't have the education or emotional maturity to support their babies - so GIVE THEM UP FOR ADOPTION!

" if a society rewards pathological behavior, they will simply get more of it."

How true. Unfortunately that's where Liberal/socialism is leading us, and eventually to total economic collapse.
