Fathers Day AND Mothers Day sucks for me - both of my parents abandoned their parental responsibilities.

Spaying xor neutering people who cause these problems will go a long way towards remedying this issue.

Take a “positive” revenge by breaking the cycle. It ends with you.

The Cost to Taxpayers of Missing Fathers

The truth is that 99% of them aren't missing.

They are hiding under the bed in the back room when the child services, welfare people or police visit.

Or they are next door impregnating the younnger sister, or best friend, or the grandmother.
Or all three.

Or they are in jail.

Or they are out looking for some dope to share with the baby momma.

Or they are shacked up across the street with another "single mother" or two.

Or hiding out somewhere until last night's carjacking blows over.

“Spaying xor neutering people who cause these problems will go a long way towards remedying this issue.”

Hundred percent no. Who is going to be in charge of deciding/enforcing the spay/neuter? The Dept. of Health and Human Services? I have no doubt they’d like to stop FReepers among others from reproducing.

At a parole hearing, I once heard a felon put forward the argument that he needed release “to spend time with the kids”. That is a common rationale. What was uncommon was that he had 40 children by a couple dozen or so women.

Yes, the pardon board confirmed the record. 40 children.

His petition was denied.

I am sorry. From your moniker though, it appears that you are determined to reject such selfishness. Good for you, and may God bless you.

Oh it ended.

Me, my half-siblings (there are a few) and my cousins are all decent, well educated, well employed, and most importantly, good parents.

It’s funny how both sides of my bio-family were scum bags until my generation.

Of course, some freepers may still think ill of me...I’m a Federal Employee that owns a Pit Bull........

I have 4 - two bio, 2 adopted.

I was raised in a foster home. It provided empathy for others with even lessor options. My two adopted kids lived in orphanages in China.

Ever child deserves, and wants, a Mom and Dad and a home.

Even when they’re my age.

I’d rather have FReepers as fed employees. . . anyway we are pretty much for limited government, right? Not “no government.”

He was fairly young, too. Early 40s. Ugly, not that smart, but lots of swagger. He was a career drug dealer, which was probably his main attraction for the females.

I am sure he has been released and convicted yet again since then. Most of his adult life had been spent in jails or prisons, with shortish terms but lots of them. Stayed busy during the intervals of release, apparently.

I hate having these culls in my memory. I wish there was a selective delete function at times, to jettison the rubbish.

With Father's Day coming up, we should ponder the sad plight of the 20 million American children who are growing up without their fathers in the home.

Fathers? What a quaint notion. That's a phrase that only applies to the male parents of legitimate children, these days. The rest of 'em are called "babydaddies" and the are sperm donors who live to impregnate their "b*tches", who once impregnated, become "babymommas", and go off to raise their little bastards alone, with public assistance of course...

But hey, what do I know. I'm an old guy, I'm probably too old fashioned. My parents were married until they died. I've been married to the same woman for 41 years. I'm way out of date.

I thought this was going to be a nice tribute to fathers but instead it ends up being another “women are evil” posting....

I'd make being spayed or neutered a condition of being on welfare. The problem is, these people continue to spawn and yield litters of more and more humans who will not support themselves. The rest of us are taxed higher and higher to cover the costs, so much so that WE cannot afford more children of our own. I am sick of over half my paycheck being taken away to cover these costs, which is exactly whu I propose such an effective, yet humane, solution to the problem.
