Keep in mind that every thug, criminal and lowlife parasite alive also had a mother and a father. Did those "contributions to society" help more than if they had not been born? Simply making babies is not enough, IMHO, to count as a contribution to society. Those that chose not to procreate and simply let those children run wild have also perhaps contributed to society.
Nope.
You owe nothing to society which is nothing more than a concept in the first place.
Every persons life is his or her own to do with as they see fit.
Now that's interesting. You deliberately warp the position of those you disagree with to present them as some kind of 2-D cartoon character, apparently confidently assuming that you understand what we believe far better than we could, and then try (and fail) to back it with data that is half a century out of date, and yet try to accuse others of being patronizing.
When you are ready to debate people rather than strawmen in this discussion, you're going to be a lot more effective. As for JB :shrug: if you could link that, I'd appreciate - I'm in the process of dramatically cutting down DP time, and it's quite possible I simply never got back to the thread.
:shrug: sure. If you live by yourself on a tropical island, I suppose. If, however, you live inside of an actual society, you do indeed owe it lawful participation. Having had society make the necessary investments to keep you from being killed, for example, you owe it to society not to kill random people yourself, and they are right to demand remuneration from you (possibly in the form of your own life) if you disregard that burden upon you.
If you are going to honestly disregard the Social Contract (as you seem to do), then I think you need to consider whether you should replace your "libertarian" self-assignment with "anarchist".
No it applies aywhere you live. Every persons life is his or hers to do with as they see fit. Living in and participating in society may benefit one in many ways but in no way does this constitute a debt owed to society.
Many couples don't have children for various reasons. Should they be considered inferior in society?
Considered inferior by whom? Other people? Don't care, by the state absolutely not.
I think couples that adopt patentless children should be celebrated, because they are fixing problems. A lot of problems at that.
I think an childless couple can be a big brother or big sister to many children thereby helping much more tan one or two.
Why would anybody look down on a childless couple?
Hell in China they might win a prize.
Parenthood is OPTIONAL, not required.
CP, not only does nothing you said here make any sense in reference to my own posts, but you probably get thrashed on your evidence more consistently than anyone else on this entire forum. I just can't take you very seriously.
Umm.... I don't get this.Which kids come with patents? Could be quite an investment...
Umm.... I don't get this.
Which kids come with patents? I don't really understand this question.
The other sentence fragment I am more confused about.
Come from where with parents? Do you mean to say some children have parents?You said: I think couples that adopt patentless children should be celebrated
That would indicate that some children come with patents. Seems pretty simple.
Come from where with parents? Do you mean to say some children have parents?
I was talking about children that don't have parents. They are at a disadvantage.
So I still don't understand. Please take some time and think about what you are trying to say.
okay, sorry Ididn't catch it. I am dyslexic and often over look misspellings.I was making a joke out of your misspelling of the words "parentless".
Not according to my ex it wasn't...
When you have a marriage where one partner wants children and the other does NOT want them, it usually leads to divorce down the road.
We got divorced...
Many couples don't have children for various reasons.Should they be considered inferior in society?
Sorry. That is usually what happens when the partners can't agree on the "kids or no kids" issue.
