Chances are that's how marriage evolved in the first place -- it gave a survival advantage. Kids whose parents bonded survived, those whose parents were only about one night stands would quickly die.

Today we teach Darwinism in all the schools, but we interfere with it at every turn.

He likely drops off a package of Pampers every so often. His support is done then.

Yes it should -- he should pay back all the Medicaid, all the food stamps, the housing vouchers, WIC, etc that his kids have cost the taxpayers.

He and Octomom could have a reality show together.

This is very true and it is actually one of the right wing conservative solutions to the challenge of a nation's social responsibility to it's citizens. Fatherless children dying off IS the solution not the problem in their eyes.

You have no concept of ancient child rearing practices. Please read up on child rearing thought out our natural history...and not rely on "Leave it to Beaver" for historical reference.

Guess what -- there is absolutely no evidence at all of welfare offices in the Stone Age.

Human children have always been more helpless and for a longer time than children of other species, horse foals for example can walk the same day they are born. The long period of dependency is what led to pairs staying together, and men preferred to help raise their own children.

Fatherless children would not have the same survival advantage.

But when you mess with nature too much, the results can also be bad.

Today in many areas, more children are now born to welfare households, to single women, than are born to families where a man is going to stick around and help provide for them.

The welfare dependent class is the one growing at an enormous rate --- that is not sustainable.

This man is a good example. He's knocking up women right and left -- but the fewer and fewer taxpayers won't be able to keep on doing this for much longer. Already less than half the population actually pays taxes.

I feel sick to my stomach any time I hear anyone is having a kid. I know I'm not alone in this.
