It is inconsistent to defend government schooling and then gripe about help to the mentally retarded.

I sure can gripe while mommy has no job.

Further, she is supported by the fact that she has a defective child.

NOT MY PROBLEM.

Does she work, other than caring for her little darling?

Sorry. Sympathy is not my thing.

I did not sire this child, and it is not entitled to anything other than normal education.

Surely the mother is not entitled to a living.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Having no job doesn’t prevent a person from using the government schools and having the taxpayer pay for it.

Ditto for help for the retarded.

Hey! Listen, I **agree** with you. Parents should plan ahead for the possibility of a disabled child. If private insurance were available for this it would be a great help.

But...At least I am consistent. If parents should be prepared for a mentally retarded child they should also be prepared to **pay** for their schooling as well.

You totally avoided responding to her comment.

She’s right. It’s inconsistent to defend public education and gripe about helping the mentally handicapped.

If you object so much to government handouts because people should be supporting themselves, then why do you support the government handout of public education?

If you sent your kids to public schools, you’re leaching off the tax money extorted from other taxpayers to provide them with the education that you should have provided them yourself.
