Most of our friends either are trying, or already have young children. I can't help but feel sorry for their kids, and almost resent them (parents) for being selfish enough to not even think twice about what they are bringing them into. They just decide they want a baby and go for it, never thinking about the actual unborn child itself. They're all great people / parents or I wouldn't be associated with them. I know these kids will have a great upbringing, and for the most part be molded into useful members of society (at least statistically they should, coming from said upbringings). But I can't help thinking of it as anything other than somewhat selfish. I am typically the "negative thinking, worst case scenario" kind of guy, that over analyzes simple tasks and situations though. Could just be me.

We are all called to be salt of the earth my friend, but as we all know, salt can only preserve meat for so long before it finally decays.....

My wife and I have 3 small children and may have more, my mindset being that we (Christians) should do our best to help spread God's word, grow His family and ultimately produce more salt to help this quickly decaying world from falling any faster.....Plus I really love kids......

You and your lady friend should contribute to our team, we will need all the help we can get.

Just a simple question, do you think the earth is over crowded as it is ?

My first experience with today's America was about 15 years ago, I was working a summer job in Jackson, MS during my college years. My lunch was a PB sandwich and water. I stopped at a Wal-Mart to use the restroom and get another bottle water. The lady in front of me was buying her lunch with one of those magical government cards. Her lunch was cold snow crab legs. I learned that the system is broke after that instance. You can buy cold seafood such as crawfish, snow crab legs and such as long as it is cooked then chilled.

In summary, I was working in the hot Jackson heat and eating PB sandwich while that b**ch was eating snow crab leg and probably going home to produce more kids so that card balance can grow. It's F'ed up.

Verbatum ""yo kidz gets uz sum candy or whaeva yo wants, i gots 12dalars on my card left"

After the crumb snatcher distroyed the check out isle of last min crap, she swips that card again, "maam" you have $1.25 left"
"I getz me a coke, gots to get all dats mine"

I turned to the woman behind me that was watching this as well and i said "this is todays America, Im glad someone is enjoying it" she said " yeah and we get to payfor it."

Wonder how Greece is handling being broke............

This nation is a stone's throw away from being a socialistic society. People have bought into the idea that equal opportunity means equal results, which is far from the truth. A little factor such as discipline, determination, and HARD WORK play key roles in achieving the "American Dream". Most "have nots" in today's society choose their path in life.

I was behind a woman at Walgreens and she bought 2 16oz redbulls. The total was $9 and she paid for it with an EBT card. You are supposed to be poor why are you drinking $4 redbulls instead of tap water. That's what I do. You should only be able to buy the essentials bread, meat, cheese, rice, milk etc. Not soft drinks and candy bars.

Follow the money! Don't get mad at the "swipers" their just a "cog in the machine." Who actually profits from this money?

[keakar]

sad to say but its too late to save America, the water is coming over the top of the transom so grabbing a bailing bucket is useless at this point.

there are more voters receiving a government check to not work then there are hard working tax payer voters who actually still vote, so nothing will ever change, it will only get worse.

even those who want to vote to restore this great country get left with the likes of john mcain or mit Romney, both big government rhinos, not conservatives, so people who can make a difference decide to just stay home because no one who represents their views on what needs to be done is there to vote for. this is done on purpose and not by accident.

add to that the queen of socialist progressive party, Hilary Clinton, is being beat in the polls by a guy who announced he was a proud strict hardline socialist "his own words" so that tells you where we are in America today.

there are no more then a dozen small government conservatives left in congress at best, and none of them have positions of power.

you know its a shame, but if iran blew up a nuke in Washington, they would be saving America, not attacking it. then we could start over new with politicians who represented the people who voted for them like it used to be 50 years ago.

At this point, I feel terrible for what my kids will see in their lifetime. I would almost rather make them swipers so that they don't grow up working themselves to death to not have anything left! <<Of course, I doubt that will be the case. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to teach them to rack up a lot of $, rat hole every dime they can and spool out to Costa Rica at a reasonably young age.

I really believe he may be the candle that curses the darkness for a while.
We could use a third party for sure.

and, regardless of the country, I see American's living abroad becoming a big deal...........for me, it would be Dominican or even a USVI, but somewhere I can not deal with stupidty and polictical correctness..........I have no problem helping poor folk, in fact I feel good about doing so.

Challenge is...........politics has blurred he lines for those that really need help.

The biggest problem is these blood sucking freeloaders on this site who won't go
Premium and help support it. They just take their handout and think nothing is wrong.

I guess after reading some of the responses I'm sure some would deem me a "contributor" to some of America's problems.

After all ... I couldn't possibly be a good person for having 3 kids that I love dearly. Add to the fact they are a from a broken home. There is just no way according to here that they can be respectable, Godly, hard working Americans that earn what is theirs even at a young age. Guess this means they will automatically be a "swiper" some day ...

Its not the Kids ! ...

Its the darn parents who blame everyone but their own self for their kids not being good people. If parents would be more of a part of their kids lives and actually raise them. Show them right from wrong. Teach them pride, dignity, work ethics, respect, and for every action you do in life there is a reaction so think before you do. Don't always spoil them and teach them that not everything in life is free you have to earn it !

We (America) wouldn't be in this situation with all the "swipers" if there were TRUE parent out there raising their kids ...

We as parents need to look in the mirror before blaming the kids.
