Lately I’ve been noticing that the people who mainly should not have children, whether due to economic limitations, illnesses, or even mental instability, are the ones who have the most children, and many times they end up as single fathers/mothers. My question is whether it would be a good idea to implement some kind of regulation and set minimum requirements that must be met, mainly to prevent the child from ending up in the future as a criminal or a social burden due to those factors.

    Just wondering about other people thinking on it, I do not have any solution about it in mind, I was just wondering about whether it should or not.

    Thanks for your answer.

      And what are your own thoughts on this? Your concerns? At what is troubling you? Questions like these are not spontaneous. Something must have stirred them in your mind.

        Honestly I don’t care too much about it, I was just wondering what will happen if there is still no control about all the people just having kids wo any requirement while they don’t have any condition to support these kids correctly. But I stated in other comments before I don’t believe it is of any interest to the government or anyone with power to do such a thing, they need cheap labor force to move the economy so they will let everyone in such conditions to keep having even more kids.

        This comment thread of theirs was likely the start, but probably not the first time they’ve thought about this.

        Not just rich people, also stupidity is a threat to democracy but how to fix it?

        Unfortunately, most people didn’t realize their instance and replied in good faith. Someone replied to them basically saying that education was dismantled to keep people stupid to benefit the rich, and then OP replied with a lovely comment hinting at eugenics.

        Trust me there are people who even using the best education they stop being stupid is like it is in their genes.

        They commented that right before this post. Notice how they wanted to “fix” stupidity, and then they tried to pull the conversation into supporting eugenics.

          That may be it. Or it may be something else. And that is why I am still hoping OP will reply to me.

          Talking and exchanging ideas and viewpoints is the best way to push back stupidity, which I think it has been extremely abused as a word lately, when ignorance would be better used.

            OP’s mind is already made up, as you can see. They just wanted to ruffle up some feathers. They aren’t here for actual debate.

            They’re “just asking questions” in the Steven Crowder and Ben Shapiro way.
