Gervais also says he’ll be doing a guest stint on the American version of The Office. Not in his future: marriage or kids. “There are too many children,” he opines, particularly those who are poor or unwanted. “What there is, is too many useless people … who shouldn’t have children. Should we impose some kind of limit? “Yes, based on stupid fat faces,” he replies. “If there’s a woman in leggings, eating chips with a *** in her mouth, sterilize her.”
Democrats like Paul Erlich have been saying this kinda stuff for years. They seem to think they have the right to tell people how many kids they can have.
That's why I often think democrats remind me of Chairman Mao.
With the way the welfare system works, kids are a cash cow, that become a tool to earn money, not a person to teach and raise, to the parents. 5 kids is pushing $4000 a month

Procreation is not a Constitutional right. I don't believe in dictating how many kids someone can have, but I strongly favor cutting off all forms of government assistance to those who reproduce without having the financial capability to do so. In my opinion, restricting public assistance funds (as well as making public schools private) would be a good form of population control.
Kids are a huge liability to taxpayers who are forced to subsidize everything from health care to public schools ... and it's all because the bleedings hearts claim that "children are our future". To me, that doesn't matter because most children are born as the result of the egg supplier and the sperm donor failing to use protection! The responsibility of the financial support should fall entirely on the "parents" (and I use that term loosely) who brought the children into the world. It shouldn't be society's obligation to pay for the mistakes of others!
This is the position I take on having kids ... and I am probably the furthest thing from a Democrat or the likes of Chairman Mao.
Well the title of that article & this thread is totally incorrect, he never said "useless" kids, he said "useless" people having kids, big difference. And he's right, why do people insist on having so many kids? I just don't get it.

Sad but true.
You repeat that over and over on the forum yet ignore requests for the link to back up that you get $800 a kid for welfare.

I agree, for the most part, with your comments.
If you can't afford to have children WITHOUT relying on handouts, then please, don't have them.
In the UK, and no doubt here too, there are GENERATIONS of families who have never worked and who live entirely at the tax payers expense - playing "the system" like a fiddle. I fail to see how "rewarding" non-productive members of society to produce more non-productive members of society can in any way be beneficial.
However, I don't agree with making public schools private. The last thing this country needs is a barely/non educated underclass.
The one thing that NO civilised country can afford to do is to remove the basic right to education.
I would also add that access to healthcare is a basic fundamental right in any developed country too.
