To think having children is not a right!

[cremeeggcook]

If you can't afford children thats just tough! IMO. We should abolish child benefit to be spent on real rights such as having something to eat and decent levels of sanitation. I would rather my hard earned tax went there than child benefit!!

Fatkorgasm: I was mainly thinking about the general population! But single women goodness! goes and lies in a darkened room.....

No seriously though why are people Sundays filled with this drivel when we could of started with a delightful dessert thread!

Ohhhh sticky toffee pudding! That would go down well after nice curry!

How can you afford to pay for that given the obviously inadequate education you have received?

No don't bother actually, I don't care.

Just an added point I wonder how many people actually go 'well we have 50p and no savings and can't afford to live so what shall we do...I know have a baby' hardly anyone I bet so usually those who have children by choice have decided they can afford them although not in op world

Well it's not a right, no, but then neither is getting a pension, having someone look after your personal needs when you're old, having an operation etc. If poorer people's kiddies aren't born to do useful jobs such as carers, cleaners, doctors, medical administrators, cooks, factory staff and so on, who's going to look after you when you're old? The rich people's kids who become career politicians and diplomats and things like that? Who usually have these positions not through merit but because of who they are?

I love the phrases 'hard earned tax' and 'hard working taxpayer', it gives me such a fun mental image of the type of person who says it
I bet you're a barrel of laughs down the pub on a Friday...

We're having steak and chips.

Do you not drive your car on the road? Does your bin get emptied? Do you expect someone to turn up when you call 999?

Your private healthcare will be fuck all use to you if you're ever involved in an RTA or have a heart attack. Good luck then!

I do l I've the idea of a pudding thread chillyegg I might start one hehe :)

The other day I had a hot gooey brownie with vanilla icecream. It was so fucking delish.

Making a generalisation but surely in family's where no one works, do the children follow suit?

I'm having roast chicken today, followed by Apple pie!!!!

Oh and Yorkshire pudding!!!!!!

Roast chicken here with Yorkshire Puddings flavoured with thyme.

I went to pizza express for my birthday purely for the heavenly chocolate cake

Will you all stop going in about chocolate cake? It's making the cheesecake look distinctly unappetising!

I pay tax but I'm not hard working. Am I OK?

Asian steak and noodle salad.

Sorry :( I bet it's lovely cheesecake

Why are you asking us op? I thought you had all the answers?

Is this what passes for debate in your house?

Anyone tried the 5 min microwave cake in a cup? Quite naice but needs lots of cream with it

Ha nice one Andy I will be hard working soon and pay tax but I guess till then I should sell my children

cremeegg they keep the police in business by robbing cars and the rehab units open by dealing drugs. Probably.

For the sake of disclosure, OP, how much do you pay in taxes every month?

I've never heard of cake in a cup twatface sounds quick and intriguing

AndyWarhol you just get half of the CB.
OP go on, entertain me, what do you propose we do about it?
Sterilise poor people? What about the children already born? What happens if for example a hard working, private education and healthcare using taxpayer loses their job, runs out of savings and becomes a poor person?
What are you solutions?
