No. I understand why people might think it's a good idea, but where do you draw the line? Who decides? What happens when (not if) people who aren't licensed have kids anyways?

Not to mention people should be free to have kids as much as they want as long as they aren't directly putting the children in danger.

Hi! How you doin'?

Sometimes, all you need are a couple giant explosions to get you through the day.

I can see having restrictions involving financial stability, but the word 'license' seems too broad. They'd need to specify.

No. Impossible to enforce.

Violate the basic right of procreation?

Sorry OP. No.


People relinquish their lawful rights when they force a child to go through a hellish life. People relinquish their humanity when they have a child they can't support. Why not compromise, make it relatively cheap/easy to get a license, and have most people be able to get them, therefore substantially diminishing the amount of abused/badly raised children while boosting the lives of those whose parents got a license?

Yes.

Requirements:

GPA of 3.0 and up, OR a grade of 90 or above on an after high-school knowledge test

A home/apartment with with at least one kitchen, one bathroom, and one room for every family member

stable job

income that leaves at least $300 dollars a month for just the baby

minimal to no criminal history





As for how such a thing would be enforced, I have no idea. This is just the list of requirements that should be in place if such a thing were to happen.


HAHAHAHA implying GPA has any impact on my child rearing.


In case you have not noticed, those who are more intelligent tend to have more intelligent and better cared for children.

Saw this reply a lot already. Perhaps a hefty fine could be placed on those who had unlicensed children, and have possible rights taken away. The children, as previously said, could be taken to government-owned foster homes.

Really? Because I've been to school with tons of kids whose parents haven't even graduated high school yet get full academic scholarships.

Please tell me how book smarts translate into a good parent?

Come on DatDude, you know anecdotal evidence isn't valid in a debate.

So let's say a poor person has a baby (many people listed moderate-high income as a requirement to have a baby). So now, instead of trying to help them take care of the baby they love, which they created, you want to take away their baby and fine them?

Well I'm not googling for 20 min just so I can win a pointless argument.

Without The Flood, I wouldn't know what an opinion is.

Good luck regulating that.

You'd have even more babies ditched because parents don't have a license.

I can imagine all the nerds in this thread saying yes, because they feel people are stupid.

When in reality, it's you geeks who have no idea how to raise a child.

Obviously if they had a baby without the correct documents, they are irresponsible and inconsiderate, especially if they are bringing a child into the meager world of the lower class, rendering as them unable to be decent parents for a child.

Also, define poor. Poor people can actually be rather well off to support a child or two, but I'm thinking you are talking about very poor, like living in a run-down house in a crime-filled neighborhood barely surviving.

You really looked up my account hahaha that's funny.

But just because you asked. Work has been slow the past few days. I've literally just been sitting here on my phone. Hey I'm even working right now.

Seems to be working for China.
Except that it's not. Their one-child policy has done nothing except create an enormous sex imbalance because everyone wants a male heir for their one child.

No, that's stupid.

Provide your argument and prove why it's stupid against the gentlemen providing legitimate ones for it.
There is no legitimate reason to support such blatant violations of human rights.

A life so great, apparently, that you've taken to attempting to insult people in a backwater internet forum.

Seriously, you don't have ANYTHING better to do?

For the sake of this argument, I am defining poor as having $1 less than whatever arbitrary value you happen to have assigned as the cutoff.

And what if the child isn't found to be "illegitimate" until he or she is about 10 years old? Will the child's wishes have any impact on whether or not they get to stay with their family?

And if I have a child, and later lose eligibility to have more kids, will I lose my first child as well?
