My parents were very poor but brought me up fine. But they would have been below any 'recommended minimum child-rearing income', so by this argument are you saying I should have been aborted? It's not a bad idea to encourage people to be able to afford children, particularly if they have multiple children. But how do you enforce it.

It's all good, Bud. Don't get too worked up over people's opinions and reactions. There is a healthy dichotomy of opinions here, and it's good to listen to each side.

You think that disagreement equals dislike? It does not. You cannot have discussions without people who are going to disagree with you.
And yes, there are some that are going to flame you for being controversial and going against the normal grain of their comfort zone. If you are going to come and post what amounts to controversy, then you need to also don asbestos armor and stop caring so much. The sort of person who is going to go off the deep end on you on the internet merely for having a different idea probably isn't all that worthwhile.

Do you want to be so politically incorrect that you turn almost everyone off?

Why would I want to turn people off? Is there some kind of honor in that? What is the benefit? Seems like you may be realizing that turning people off with in-your-face political incorrectness is going to turn people away from you. And it will.

Yes...1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = will do the trick.

Another thread I wanted to start... "How are you different online from real life?" I think, if people were as honest as they can be, that we'd find out some very interesting info.
