If you can't afford children you shouldn't have them.

[MrsArchieTheInventor]

"If you can't afford children you shouldn't have them" [and] "child benefit and tax credits should be abolished" with the mantra that if she choses to be childless she should not be forced to pay for the 'breeding' choices of others.

A Facebook friend of mine. I didn't retaliate.

@tetheresend. I see you're at the end of your tether. I'm not breeding like a farrowing sow. 1 kid. He's all I can afford.

We are back to the teeny tiny exceptions NOT being responsible for the national defecit.

No, LittleTeddy, you didn't say that, you said:

"Why the hell should I pay for other women to breed like farrowing sows while I work my arse off bringing up my child at my own expense?"

Oooh, I could CnP that all day, it's like poetry

"I'm not breeding like a farrowing sow"

Oh. How do you breed then?

Is it only poor people who breed like farrowing sows?

There was a 'woman on the TV the other day.'

Scarily, that is how government policy appears to be set these days. Are you Theresa May?

Now I am confused
I thought poor women 'popped out babies'
now they 'farrow' ?

[buconfused]

Also I'm complaining about the clowns who think that the deficit can be eliminated simply be selling Trident and taxing a few bankers. Sounds appealing but just dreamy nonsense.

ha ha ha ha ha

Whatever you do teddy dont buy Take a Break, your head would blow clean off.

I want to know my breeding style... Can I go for antelope?

I like antelope.

How does it work then?

As your income gets lower,your vagina gets bigger?

@tethersend. My farrowing sow analogy was intended to convey the idea of having lots of children. I have only one.

Female pigs are extremely responsible parents.

That does confuse matters, MrsD- I had a cs. Will be having another.

Vagina is the same size.

Unless I get bonus points for bleeding the NHS dry?

@AdmitMrsDeVere. Hmmm... maybe poor people have more ovaries.

Your farrowing sow analogy was intended to convey your utter distain for anyone less fortunate than you.

And it did its job very well.

Must go now. Happy farrowing everybody. Toodlepip!

Oh, right LittleTeddy- for a minute I thought it was a cack-handed attempt to belittle and ridicule.

So, how many children do you have before you breed like a sow? What's the cut off point?

And what's your breeding style, just for accuracy?

Oh, are you off, Little Teddy?

Shame.

You didn't tell us your breeding style...

My breeding style involved an actual MAN.

Wha....?

bub bye now.

I have found elements of this thread unedifying, I have to say.

Oh, Mrs De Vere - you are on form tonight! [bugrin]

So - just to clarify. No limit on state benefits - ie taking other pople's money - for people who can't afford their own children is a Good Thing. Even when the state is de facto bankrupt.

And arguing that maybe, just maybe, this has to stop now, is actually a Bad Thing, nay an Odious thing, and all people who think this are Cunts.

That makes a lot of sense.....or at least explains why we are where we are now.

Crikey, WhatMeWorry, I hope you don't end up summarising policy documents in my office. (Well, not unless you're writing for Twenty Twelve...)
