    A lot of people say this, but they don't actually behave that way. Were you a virgin on your wedding night?

    We have too many people on the planet. People who can afford to raise a child or many children. Those that cannot afford the cost should not be allowed to reproduce. This would take care of our welfare issues. There would be enough jobs for everyone.

    Common sense tells us that people should only have as many children as they can afford, but I would certainly never advocate for any governmental intervention or regulation.

    The Chinese were finally forced to take measures and they were strictly enforced. There were some unintended consequences but they simply could not continue to churn out babies at previous rates.

    Ha ha ha. The advocate of uninhibited drug use suggests we should "use socialism to bail out capitalism".

    Perhaps you should limit your drug use to the point where you don't need others to step in and take care of you. A few economics classes would do you a world of good as well, but first, you need to get a decent job and work hard instead of complaining that the workers should take charge of the means of your coffee shop's production.

    Ha ha ha ha ha. You low-grade communists are hilarious.

    simply being clueless and Causeless, does that to those of the opposing view, even without drugs being involved. there is a religious, technical term for that.

    We have a Commerce Clause; there can be no keeping and bearing of False Witness to our own laws for Persons of morals, well regulated.

    There's plenty of room on the planet, let alone the United States.

    As far as welfare is concerned, I'd be happier seeing attempts to scam the system being punishable by enforced labor in incarceration until such time that the system receives proper recompense.

    As far as prison is concerned, since I've provided a segue, I believe hard labor in prison that benefits society should be mandated in order to exhaust criminals and dissuade them from further illegal activities even to the point that some prisons are seen as gangland boot camps.

    "Being a current or former Pelican Bay SHU inmate establishes credibility in the streets. Its gang leaders are housed there, and it’s considered the hardest of all California prisons. One court document said Nuestra Familia members refer to it as the “White House,” where inmates looking to become leaders need to live." http://www.triplicate.com/News/Local-News/Inside-the-SHU-Part-2-Prison-gangs

    What's the point? It's not just being able to afford kids. It's being able to raise them without them turning to the streets and becoming criminals. We can always use another productive member of society and there's always room for such a person. The attention should be on the portion of society that is on the news every single night for something negative. They shouldn't be allowed to reproduce.

    You speak yet say nothing. Druggies tend to do that. By the way, in case you were trying to make some clever ironic dig by your capitalization of the word "Causeless", you should know that the word "caustic" is not the opposite of "causeless".

    Oh, I see. You capitalize random things because you're being weird. I thought only Germans did that. Regardless, you're still making no sense. Put down the bong and say something useful.

    they have entire empty cities over there. i believe a domino "theory" should be "decommissioned" for the fallacy it actually is.

    vertical hydroponics could solve for agriculture within a city for better time to market value.
