This thread has been long on unsubstantiated generalizations that we are supposed to take on faith. :-\

Debating ISSUES is what we're all about, so let's cut down on the characterizations of the individuals posting those issues, and keeping the personalities out of the mix. Casting aspersions on each other usually suggests someone has run out of intellectual fuel to debate an issue intelligently, so showing that "tell" usually suggests you are about to "fold your hand." It is perfectly acceptable, if a debate has exhausted its course, to simply agree to disagree and move on to the next issue. We're all neighbors here, so let's always try and keep things civil.

I think that is a wonderful idea. And since I have now blocked the person who was making the somewhat hysterical comparisons to the Third Reich death camps and the other person who seems to be very easily offended, I am happy to continue exchanging posts with those who actually wish to examine ideas relating to welfare reformation.

It appears to be yet another reference to the Third Reich. Somehow it would appear that the person who posted this thinks this is just a devastating response.
I have noticed that frequently those on the left will automatically charge racism and sexism when their assumptions are challenged. The Nazi references are just this strategy taken to its logically absurd conclusion.

So now, in your view, not only should welfare recipients avoid having children, but even the working poor (or even middle-class single parents, I guess) should not have them? In other words, you find it preferable to live in an incredibly wealthy country in which people below a certain income level should be discouraged from partaking in in one of the most basic human experiences ... than to live in an incredibly wealthy country where the haves lend a hand to the have-nots??

people should not have children which they can not afford to raise. This is a crime against the child, and it is robbing the tax payers. Theft and child abuse.
