A fact that, oddly, poor people in America don't ever seem to take into consideration. And yet their kids are always provided for. That's odd, right? LMAO

It's your contention re: "welfare doesn't work," another statement we can add to your "made up stuff file." Your various hate posts regarding your fears of "liberals" as the Satan of all things not in your realm of agreement, is certainly and obviously central to your poor debating skills as demonstrated here. I'm flat out refuting your complaint that I am making statements regarding your imaginary view of welfare as a thing that "doesn't work." Those are your own words inserted in others posts, and then attributed to them as a real quote. Please read the TOS on this forum..

I do agree that most young girls are not responsible enough to use birth control regularly or properly- which is why they should use LARC (long acting reversible contraceptive). Heck, offer a $100 target gift card to every girl who is willing to use an implant or IUD, it would pay off in the long run

And parents have never been able to solve this problem, I had great parents, they were very responsible lectured me on the importance of waiting until I was married to have sex, they warned me about how different (in a bad way) my life would be if I got pregnant, my mother taught me about birth control and my father threatened to kill me if I got pregnant.

I listened and agreed with them and then I would walk out of the house get in my boyfriends car and we would drive out to the country and have sex. My parents could not fix my stupidity and arrogance, I was just lucky and didn't get pregnant.

Sometimes, luck will only get us so far, as far as stupidity and arrogance some of us carry it with us until the bitter end.

This was a paragraph consisting of literally nothing except poor attempts at insults. I bet it was because of "corporations." LMAO

unsubstantiated generalities are opinions, not facts. I have not violated the TOS, I don't troll and I do not engage in personal attacks or rude remarks, if you ever feel that I have violated the TOS, please bring it to my attention. This will be the last I will say about this, it is off topic and of no interest to anyone reading this thread.
