"since there are thousands of children born into single parent families and teenagers each year, do you think that we could cut this rate by introducing a law whereby in order for women to have children they must have been married for a least 2 years to obtain a birth permit to allow you to have children.

if you did not have a birth permit you could not obatin a birth certificate whereby everyone needs one to get into schools open bank account be recognise by the government ie national insurance numbers and be accepted by society as a real person.

if a child was to be born without a birth permit could we fine these families a large amount ie £50k or the child to be taken away for adoption."

Ah, it was on Bounty - that explains it.

MN still a beacon of intelligent sanity on the net compared to some of the dreggy shite that's out there!

Anyway it's the law to register all births/stillborn babies within 6 weeks of birth or be fined. Presumably these people are going to overturn a law which has been in place since at least 1837? .

apparently it was research for some arguements for and against it for a university assignment

so what happens if a woman gets raped then and becomes pregnant from the rape?

I prefer the dick tied to leg plan. Actually it would be much more sensible to make testosterone a controlled substance. Only made available to men at the age of 25 and over for a few year and only in small quantities.

So the logic is.....

if your parents 'cock up' (and not being judgemental- I'd be a well and true cock up under these criteria, ds1 conceived after 3 months) what you do is, you stigmatise and lebel the innocent child.

What a fabbo idea

It's a good way of making class sizes smaller and waiting lists shorter, unemployment will be low as most people won't be in statistics. It's also a good way of having a nation full of uneducated, unemployable, unwell psople, abandoned babies.

Who ever thought that up is a real idiot!!!!!

Soph73 · 19/11/2007 13:28

God it´s the stuff of nightmares. DS was conceived after 6 months of marriage. Should we have waited 2 years?

Why not do what the Romans did and have a rubbish heap outside the cities to throw such babies onto? . I thought foundling hospitals had been phased out sometime early last century.

mummyvontummy · 19/11/2007 20:34

NA you bounty betrayed us!

i had to use it cos for some reason facebook and msn decided to delete my friend from my list (i personally think a jealous friend may have something to do with - bit coincidental she went missing on both lists) i have tried millions of times to get her onto our side but she likes having a due in june board and a 2+ board rather than the really long ante natal and post natal threads we have.

tbh i might keep going on there just to fish out amusing threads like that one!

what a wonderful ida nappy.
lets write a petition to the govenment to push it through as legislatio pretty damned quick.
it doesnt soundmany more mad than many of the ideas they have already pushed through.
so why not this?
as has been mentioned, it would sort out the whole statistics business, and it would mean they wouldnt have to worry about a whole host of people. because hey, they are nto people.

ScottishMummy · 20/11/2007 09:03

lets start with the aristocracy and royals first, with their inbred and bedhopping (eg Princess Bignose Diana and JugEars Chuck) chop off their heads that should take good few years to round up all the toffs/aristocrats - leaving decent people alone

nappyaddict · 22/11/2007 19:23

this comment is just as stupid too

"OMFG - I cantr get over taht u are giving her coke ???? i mean - yes josh has dipped his fingers ina glass b4 but no way what the hell have you gave it her for ????

its awful !

very very unhealty for her head, teeth.

as for her hitting u - that should have been stopped as soon as it started josh is 16 montsh and if he hits be back wen i tap his hand or pull his arm away from somthing he gets really shouthed at and left 2 sit and cry !

josh runs aroudn teh house shouting juice juice juice - he actually means water!!"

I just have a vision of 2 drunk 16 year olds about to get down to it when one shouts "Stop, we don't have a condom or a permit".

Yeah, right....

buzzybee · 23/11/2007 04:03

Yes FFS abso agree, ranks right up there with most stupid ideas ever

I mean, I'm 38, single, have well paid job, own my own home, have gorgeous 6yo from former marriage and am 36 weeks PG with baby I fully intend to raise alone with full support of my family and friends, plus childcare etc which I will fully fund from my own income. Is that wrong???
