Not to mention that I would bet that a majority of teenage guys have no interest in raising a child. Condoms people, condoms!!!!
Na, I think guys want the best for their children, but when the rubber meets the road, they find out the hard way they can't make the money that they see other males do; so they bail. It's not right but it happens...
1.There are video cameras on every corner watching you and recording your tags.
Where in the world do you live? I don't know of any city in the U.S. that has video cameras on every corner.

2. We pay a form of income tax which is unconstitutional.
According to which court?

3. We have a degenerated culture (binge drinking, Drugs, random sex with strangers for fun).
Sounds like freedom to me. If you don't like those things, don't participate in them, but let others decide those things for themselves.

8. More people are in prison then any other time in American history! Remember, before the white man came to this land (well, the Minoans were here BEFORE 1492), there were NO SUCH THINGS as prisons. So much for the indians being "uncivilized".
If we eliminated laws against victimless crimes (recreational drug use, prostitution, etc.), we'd have a lot fewer criminals.

Hell, I could go on.... .... But anyway you only feel you are free because you have nothing to compare it to.
I can read and easily compare what life is like today versus what it was like 50 years ago.

I'm sure that may be the case in a few instances but honestly I think the majority of guys just don't want to ante up. I mean, how many lifetime movies have been made about this very situation? On the other side, too many teenage girls seem to think of having a kid as like having a pet & then the real world hits them & they're like "oh crap".
Hell, I could go on.... .... But anyway you only feel you are free because you have nothing to compare it to. The fact is that most of us are slaves in one way or another here in America. You don't pay rent, you are in the streets! You don't pay to register your car eventually it will be TAKEN from you. You don't pay your taxes the Government will come after you; and if you don't set up birth certificates, and other documentation, your children can't go to school.
Hey, we're trying to run a society here, not a summer camp for those with Severe Entitlement Disorder...

Emergency shipment of condoms headed to Olympic athletes. “Health officials in Vancouver have already provided 100,000 free condoms to the roughly 7,000 ahtletes and officials at the Games. That’s about 14 condoms per person. But as of Wednesday, those supplies started running dangerously low.”
We need to go back to the industrialized nation we once were. We will never get back to where we need to be without. We need manufacturing jobs, not service jobs. Temporary rebuilding jobs wont last and wont help us much. We need permanent manufacturing jobs period.
You are arguing the same stupid case as some earlier but just as disinformed generations of Americans argued over prospects of declining agricultural jobs. We need farmers, not factory workers!
There are no new manufacturing jobs to be had anywhere in the world. The number of manufacturing jobs in ALL of the world's top twelve manufacturing economices has DECLINED since the mid-1990's, and in eleven of the twelve (all but Taiwan) since 2000. Yet manufacturing output has soared. The US is still by far the world's largest manufacturing economy. We just don't need as many people to do it anymore. That's the way it is, and that's the way it will continue to be. Linus and his security blanket make as much sense as right-wing whiners and their manufacturing jobs mantra. It just isn't going to happen...
