If you are on welfare you should not be allowed to procreate because you have demonstrated you do you not even have the ability to take care of yourself (regardless if it is because of your own laziness or because of a situation you couldn't control).
My stepfather is a police constable in the South Yorkshire Police force. He is widely regarded as one of THE best police officers in the area, and has collected several awards for his services to the community. A couple of these are detailed below:
1. 01st October 1998 - he was searching one particular house for a suspect and found him in the loft area. This guy didn't want to go quietly so he escaped through the neighbours house (no idea how). My stepdad chased him until this guy crashed through a greenhouse. Even though he was inevitably arrested, my stepdad could have just left him and said "you get what you deserve", but he attended to his injuries, which later saved his life, as the ambulance was delayed. He was awarded a Superintendent's Commendation.

A policeman who spent his weekends putting up Neighbourhood Watch warning signs has been commended by judges in a national awards scheme.
Ken Shentall's dedication won him a commendation in the national Neighbourhood Watch awards after judges were told of his success of his work in north Sheffield.
In the nine months he has worked as North West Liaison Officer, he has helped add 37 more groups to the scheme and set up a community Shop Watch in Chapeltown, equipped with two-way radios and detectors to identify forged cash.
PC Shentall even spent his days off erecting 190 Neighbourhood Watch street signs and organised a fun day for shoppers in Chapeltown to raise the cash for CCTV cameras.
His work is more remarkable because he has returned to work from a serious road accident.
Although he was allowed back to work for four hours a week on medical instruction immediately after his recovery, PC Shentall often defied the advice and put in a full week voluntarily. PC Shentall will receive his certificate at a special presentation to be held later in Sheffield.
He was also one of the first officers in the South Yorkshire Police force to be issued with CS gas. He is an advanced driver and before his accident (see below), was regarded as one of the best drivers in the South Yorkshire Police Traffic Unit.
On September 23rd 1999, my stepdad was on the night shift, and was in pursuit of joyriders along a wide section of road near to where I live.
My mum was woken at 6am by a phone call from his Inspector saying that he'd had an accident. The car which he was driving suffered an ABS failure and had caused it to lose control and hit a wall at 90 miles per hour. He called for an ambulance and was found to be sweeping the road of glass and other debris when the ambulance finally arrived.
His colleague in the passenger seat was treated for whiplash, whilst my stepdad has had to go through 3 years of operations on his back, the initial one of which nearly cost him his life. He has a titanium rod supporting his spine. As you can read above, he's now the North West liaison officer for national Neighbourhood Watch - a job which he's not particularly keen on, but cannot help. Add to this the fact that he's on
Disability Living Allowance (a state benefit I believe), and he's not been the best person to live with for the past 3 years. Put simply, he cannot stand it.
My stepdad couldn't control these events. He was doing his job, as always, to the best of his ability. He wasn't looking after himself. He was putting others first, as always.
Would you care to respond, Jerrek? Or are you just going to let it go and start another gloriously unintelligent thread such as "so guys, would you mind another guy going down on you?"...
At least have a think about it.
EDIT: Before anyone starts going on about "oh, you're missing the original argument", I don't give a rats ass about the original argument - it's just the particular bit at the top of my post that really fucked me off.
Guess we should snip deadbeat dads too....
