broke but deciding to have kids

[krunchbubble]

well, if there already broke and want kids, where does the money come from to take care of them?
only logical thinking would be welfare or some kind of government handout.
broke people aren't all of a sudden going to have a wad of cash out of no where when they have kids......

I never heard the OP say these people were on welfare asking others to pay for their kids...... What's the deal with all the negative hate? It never occured to me before these forums, but it seems tokers are some of the most judgemental people....... It doesn't take a fat bank account to be a good parent. And some of the best people I know came from homes that barely made it. But they did........

The OP said his friends were "broke" and "decided to have kids".

Using your incredible moderator wisdom JJ, where does that end up?

Please, enlighten us.

Thanks in advance.......

Broke doesn't have to mean welfare... But you can spin it negative if you like......

I got friends I'd consider "broke" and they both work. They just don't make much and they're always broke....

When my first was born I had a borrowed pot to piss in. But you cut back on something and you work harder. I look back on it now and it was some of the best times of my life........ Maybe I'm just a 'glass half full" kind of guy.....

I knew I wasn't alone on these thoughts

having children is serious business

they may not be thinking about it yet but welfare is where it ends up

it just seems it wasn't properly thought out but what can you do? this world is crazy people do what they do...there is no talking to some people

I was holding my friends baby the other day and its just this little crying miniature sack of shit replica of the parents. no disrespect all or most baby's are like this but my friend is only a couple years older and no where near better off with the kids in the picture...

its just insane to me..I don't get it...I respect them and their life decisions even if I don't agree with it

Spend some time working in a kitchen for the homeless and let me know how many children of WORKING couples are going through the line for a meal.

How did we get to a point in this country where we have to quibble over feeding the poor? Why do we have to denigrate them simply because 'there but for fortune go you and I' - I seriously don't get it.

What does a vaccine cost? A 'free' lunch at school? Pennies with great returns.

JJ, do your friends collect welfare, unemployment or other government assistance?

If you can honestly answer no then your comment of unnecessary negativity stands.

If they're welshing, kindly eat your words.......

Coot, we're not talking about helping folks who've fallen on hard times. That's from the heart.

We're talking about marginalizing scumbags who've decided to play house on the government's (MY) dime.......

I just said they both work and they barely make it.........

They did tell me they applied for HEAP though..... Shame on them......

i do! i volunteer every thanksgiving and Christmas at churches throughout the bay area. i see what your saying...
but, these are broke people "deciding" to have kids. an already not so good situation, about to get worst. these people "know" they are broke, but they are choosing to have kids. why? because they can! at other peoples "expense"....

Well, having kids when you're young and broke is the only way to do it right. Screw this crap about stockpiling a big wad of cash, so you can 'raise them right', if you wait till you're old and well off, you may have just missed out.
Kids cost, but so what, lots of us were raised on very little and we turned out just fine.

like JJ said, broke does not mean on welfare. Stop being so judgmental about folks you don't even know.

To the guy who thinks we should have to get permission from our government(license) to have kids, go kiss some cop ass and ask for permission to get high.

I learned that lesson in the most painful way.............

Ease up there knucklehead.

I didn't say we should license parents, I said it's easier to breed welfare checks than it is to own a dog.

Put the pipe down once in a while.

A bunch of serious bullshit about "living on my dime" from a bunch of people that grow for a living and don't pay taxes...... And then judge who should have kids when both people work above the table and pay taxes...... Whose dime is it?

my dime.... i pay taxes, its the law.......

Why do I need a license for my dog but you can breed little welfare douchebags with impunity?

Knucklehead?
That seems to imply bigtime that you think people should be even more required to have a license to have kids.

Maybe I just inferred something that you did not imply. Sorry for being such a knucklehead.

The last thing we need is the gov deciding who gets to have kids. And that's where that line of thinking will end up someday.

I don't "grow for a living" JJ.

And I pay more in taxes in a year than most folks earn in ten.

On top of that, I support a number of food banks in my community to keep the truly needy from falling between the cracks.

With all of that said, my dark side rages when I hear and see morons take advantage.

yeah i want all my dimes back.

Hmmmmmm............

No discussion about 'corporate welfare' - interesting but hardly unexpected.

Well you have to consider that some of the poor are 'coloreds' or 'aliens' - hardly worthy of note for a professional grower.

Even those who are too f*cking stupid to pull basic PM before jumping into their ride before riding around with a pack of pot.

Heh...........
