Society has a train load of bad failed parents - - period!!!!!!!!!! People are people - - individuals. Like gays - - people are not a group think.
Money does one thing. It gives you more and better choices. You - as an individual - still have to be responsible for the decisions you make with the choices afforded you.
Yes - - some have to work to create better choices for themselves. It still boils down to the responsibility of taking advantage of those choices.
You are so hung up on money - - - I think you better start looking inward as to why.

Then whose to say the poor shouldn't have kids or that people should only have 1 or 2 kids? You cannot judge the individual based on the majority or likelihood of something.
Parents who have only one child - - focus all their resources personal/economical on that one child. My older grandson is an only child. I see how he was raised. He is an amazing kid - - and he loves that he is an only child.

Not really. Probably honestly from the discussion with Maslo. However,
I'm not saying you hate the poor. Maslo clearly does. But I cannot help but suspect that you at least feel that the poor should not have kids. If that's what I'm feeling and I'm wrong, sorry.
But bare in mind that you did claim fewer people use fewer resources, which is simply not true under all sets with that conditions. Maybe some, but not all. And to base one child policy off of greed, simply demands that then the poor be the only ones allowed to breed, because the rich sure as hell don't seem to be contributing much with their kids consuming as much as a small village in Africa.
of course I disbelieve all these positions. Because I believe laws should not be based off majority, but the individual.

If brilliance comes from poverty, why make rules on reproduction?

You did say that a world union should enforce strict reproduction laws.

No. I have no problem with people having money. I have problems with people having money and using it to destroy others who do not.

Why is having a problem with wealth wrong? I am quite stoic.
The difference is, will I do anything about it against others? No. While you have clearly shown a desire to force your ways unto others, I have no desire to do the same, other than the areas of protecting life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Everyone has their biases. The question is if it gets in the way. So, well, prove it.

You say this but without proof nor evidence. Saying the same thing just because you believe it doesn't make it true.
Oh also, people with money DO have the right to sit on top of a tower and laugh at the world, weather you like it or not. yes I don't think those people have character. But its still their right.
