This is actually a very good point.

Why didn't they teach him anything about preparing for the retirement and help him prepare for it mentally and financially before they passed on? That's not some responsible parents, were they - just dump him to the taxpayers to foot the bill?

Yep, because moms are such awesome people: Breaking the Science: 71% of Children Killed by One Parent are Killed by Their Mothers; 60% of Victims are Boys


Bovines are bovines. Simple as that. If said bovine is one of the "good ones" that don't abuse their kids, at least said fat piece of filth can pay her own way.

And yes, I am anti-mom and have a general dislike of women who reproduce. And no, I will not apologize. Those crazy hamster brained imbeciles do not deserve anything but my scorn and spare me, SPARE ME the "not all moms" argument.
..

If feminist can roll their eyes at "not all men" and black lives matter buffoons get a pass for snickering at "all lives matter," than I can get away with vomiting at anyone who suggests that "loving mothers" do exist. I don't like bovines, never did and never will. I just happened to learn the truth about those things from the ape that pushed me out.

I am truly sorry for the childhood you had. Mine was awful mentally and emotionally, but not physically, so I understand where you're coming from.

Take this in the spirit in which it's intended. Do yourself a favor and love yourself enough to get help. These wounds that can fester within does nothing to change your history and only hurts you.

You're broken - that's why you're angry and filled with hatred. Luckily, that can be fixed if you want to fix it.

I sincerely wish you the best of luck.

You act like someone is going into your wallet and taking money that is yours. They aren't. Every job provides benefits. As I, and others, have pointed out, many times leaves are unpaid - or they're paid until the person runs out of their vacation days / personal days.

If you end up with some catastrophic disease causing the entire group rate to go up, shouldn't YOU be on the hook for the thousands instead of healthy old ME and everyone else?

With your way of thinking, the answer should be yes.
This is like rapist calling a rape just hot sex!

When you passed a law, it IS like someone going through our wallet and taking money that is ours, also with a gun on our head. Do I have the choice of not paying the taxes?

Unpaid leave doesn't mean free to the business. Who's going to do your work when you are away caring for your baby? Who's training and paying for your substitute?

You don't seem to understand the difference between by choice and by chance. You send your Catholic school by choice. By the way, your child care bill is tax deductible - none of my bill is. If by chance, we contacted some bad disease, it's not something we can control. We can't choose that but you can choose not have babies.

Oh, poor you!!!!

So getting back to my question - should YOU pay for the rate increase of company insurance if you're the one with the catastrophic illness bumping the rate up?

Insurance companies do charge more for smokers, don't you know that?

I came from a country where maternity leave is 1 year. I have a friend and she had 3 babies 3 years in a roll. She took off a year each time, went back to work, got pregnant again and again took off a year. In that country, unemployment, aka taxpayers, pays the maternity leave but that unemployment doesn't pay me if I decide to quit the job just for my own enjoyment.


I don't advocate from one extreme to another but I do like to see people take up their own responsibilities or at least admit it is morally wrong.

It sounds like you're bitter based on the hand outs of the country you came from.

But not being from the U.S. begs the question - why stay here since you're obviously miserable?

It's apple v.s. orange again.

In an insurance case, everyone benefits and disease is not by choice like having babies. In taxation case, only people with children benefit and having babies is by choice.

Now if I shoot myself on purpose causing a huge medical bill, I should be liable for that bill not the insurance company. In case you don't now, in the auto insurance case, when you have one too many accidents or you are at fault, your insurance does go up.

Healthy people would disagree. Why should I have to pay for people who don't exercise each day or eat healthy food? It's not benefiting me to have to pay more to save someone elses life when they could have chosen a healthier lifestyle.

By the way - you come across as though you think having babies IS a disease. Someones baby will be wiping your behind in a nursing home one day. I do hope you're grateful when the time comes.

If you're as miserable as you sound, it's probably unwise to stay here even one day longer, in that case.
