The 33-year-old Knoxville, Tenn., resident has reportedly set a Knox County record for his ability to reproduce. He has 30 children with 11 women. And nine of those children were born in the last three years, after Hatchett -- who is something of a local celebrity -- vowed "I'm done!" in a 2009 TV interview, saying he wouldn't father more children.
But Hatchett is back in the news this week because he's struggling to make ends meet on his minimum-wage job. His inability to make child-support payments on such a meager salary also means he's back in court again and again, most recently to ask for a break on those payments.
When Hatchett is working, he is required to turn over 50% of his wages for child support -- the maximum allowed under law. Child support payments are based in part on the ages and needs of the children.
Some of the mothers of Hatchett's children get only $1.49 a month, reportedWREG in Memphis

Some people really shouldn't breed

Kinda makes me wonder sometimes if Darwin didn't have it backwards. Instead of evolving, maybe we're de-evolving. Chaos theory and all, and everything seeking out the simplest state. Maybe all those ancient civilizations were actually much more intelligent than we are and we're just too dumb to see it :/

I think a better idea is to say,
"Okay. Here's the deal. In 3 years, we (the government, social services, welfare) are going to stop paying for everything. We will not reward poor decisions, poor parents. You have 3 years to get your life together and start taking responsibility for your actions. If you choose not to, then it will be considered criminal neglect of the children. Subsequently, we will take your children and jail you.
Have a nice day.
Kindest regards,
The beezzer government."

And here we go.
Instead of making people responsible for their actions. . . .
We take away freedoms.
And people wonder why America is becoming a fascist state.

Will definitely make for a much smaller government. While we're at it, go ahead and get rid of all politicians, lawyers and.... telemarketers, they irritate me.
After all that is implemented, give universal IQ tests and provide free training/education to all adults for 5 years. If, after that 5 years, they're still dumb as a rock, sterlize them and put them to work digging ditches. The stupidity would eventually die out and we can raise the standards of intelligence over two generations of working on it, then we can have a much better future.
I'll support your government as long as I can be second in command with all the protections that come with it, (so if you get out of hand, I just knock you off and take over ) then we can clean this planet up!edit on 18-5-2012 by PurpleChiten because: (no reason given)

I'm good with this.

Nope. No such thing as "free" training. Someone has to always pay. No forced sterilization either. Personal responsibility. As for IQ's?
Comparing IQ's is akin to comparing certain parts of anatomy. Laarger doesn't always mean better.
