I would vote for it twice if I could.

If there ever was such a law, they'd surely have limited me to 0. I mean, the powers that be almost certainly have no interest in adding the genes of a mentally unstable dope fiend to the national pool.

So frick those people.

I would seriously consider it. Overpopulating the planet is definitely something that needs to be considered.

no, but I'd yank government assistance and make people suffer the consequences of their stupidity, after a while, things would take care of themselves.


Man, I can't believe a Jew would say something like this. Let children just die of starvation? Wow

Not that I support your idea but does it include free birth control for all? What about free abortions?


I hadn't thought about that when I posted, but why not? With all the money the government would save on welfare and whatnot they could afford it.

The right to procreate is a fundamental right, highly unlikely that law would stand up in the Supreme Court

Oh there's no doubt in my mind it never would. It was just a hypothetical.

It would solve no problems and create a whole host of other problems. It is not in the least bit a feasible idea. Not to mention that overpopulation is not a current problem in this country. If you take out immigration then we are currently right around population sustaining levels.

Correct to accomplish this reversing the tax rates would work. More children more taxes.

I think his point was that if you want to control the population, do it on the immigration front, not governing procreation.

As crazy as it sounds, it is much more likely to have strict immigration reform than to make procreating illegal.

I think it just comes down to limiting government assistance. People who can afford the kids can have as many as they want. People who can't afford them now have less of a reason to have them.

I was thinking like a "scholarship" for kids to be paid for not having babies until they're 18, at least.
