People that live off the system their entire lives never contributing to society themselves and then procreating making more leaches for society. The fact that people who are physically and or mentally unable to care for themselves are able to have children at will drives me crazy!!! Children they will never be able to care for either due to their physical limitations or mental health. These children will then ultimately become wards of the state, where the tax payers will pay for them for their entire childhood and if the mental illness is hereditary their entire life will be paid for by the tax payers. What happened to Darwin's Law of Evolution?? The longer I am in the human services field the more I believe that maybe the Spartans had things right. Yeah I know that makes me a horrid person but I don't honestly know why our society allowed things to progress to the point where people who are unable to tend for themselves are allowed to have children at will?? Children they will never be able to care for on their own. I mean seriously, think about it this way a person must attend classes and obtain a license to do things like go fishing, hunting, drive a car or serve food but anyone can have a child when the responsibilities and consequences a having a child are much greater. I just don't get it!
I am sorry for that rant, but I just needed to get it off my chest. I am sure some people with judge me harshly for this view point but I don't really care. I think that having a child is a huge responsibility and yes it is a "God Given Right" but some people although are created in God's image are not able to function at a high enough level to care for a young child and so should not have one. If society had not reached a point in which people feel that if their child has special needs it is no longer their responsibility as a parent to care for that child, even when the child is an adult (because they still have special needs people) and families were still a functioning unit that helped and supported each other their entire lives then maybe I would feel differently. But I don't because many, I will even venture to say MOST, people/families don't operate that way. Society as whole feels that it is not their responsibility as a person to care but that it is the governmental job to take care of people with special needs.
Do you people know why severe mental health issues are on the rise? Why there is such a huge increase in the number of people who require constant aid from an outside source and are unable to function on their owns even in their own homes let alone out in society? Because "Society" deemed state and federal mental health facilities as "unacceptable" and "deplorable" and "unethical" so many/most were shut down as funding was cut because people fears upsetting the masses and losing political backing aka campaign $. Now where are these people to live? At least when they were living in a home they were cared for, had others to socialize with and yes were not allowed to procreate. SO these debilitating conditions were not passed on!
Okay well I am done for now. I apologise if I have seriously offended any of you, but they are just my opinions so don't think about them too hard. Okay??
Side note: Do you know where the work "Okay" came from? It originated in WWII when the solders would ask each other how their day went they would respond 0 (zero) K meaning Zero Kills that day and it eventually evolved into Okay.
