What I think should happen is (for example) temporary castration at birth. Then if you want kids later in life you apply for a license to have your castration reversed.

Sure, it is just a discussion board...the "status quo" if you will. It is precisely the "status quo" that I am not fond of, and am fond of my unalienable rights so reviled by the status quo you pretend to have nothing to do with.
We have a right to spend our money as we want to.

Statements like the ops are why I don't believe charity would work as opposed to taxation for social programs.
The poor get so little already, but it is assumed to be so much - and it is begrudged to the point of wanting to castrate them for it? Or, if it were up to me, they'd only get rice and beans!
I can only think that people that would have these sorts of opinions are not that charitable, and I see a lot of it.

This bit of collectivist dribble follows the declaration that rights end the moment they infringe upon other people's rights and without a hint of irony. Do you declare that you as an individual have the right spend your money as you want to? Hell no! You declare the "we" this collective has the right to do that. Why is this?
I did mean we as individuals, and I think that should be evident.
Is that they only argument you have with my post?
Taxes suck, but I'd rather mine go to the poor than to agencies that keep people from starting businesses and being as free as they could be.
