This is how it works. I ask a question. You either ignore it or answer what I asked. Responding to a question with a question does nothing for me. It may turn you on. I dunno. Now just because you are complete stranger AND you are newby to me I shall comply with your request and answer your question. One time only. I support population control this way. Whatever the couple consensually can afford to support without resorting to welfare gets my vote. If they are billionaires they can have 24 kids for all I care. If they are paupers no. Did I answer your question?
He is pointing out that the "great" Bill Gates supports population control.
And how it works here is users ask and answer questions as they want as long as both the question and answer do not violate the rules here.

It wasn’t supposed to be sexual. I only answered with a question because your question raised that question in my mind. I’m sorry if it upset you. That wasn’t my intention. Thanks for answering though.
I think being able to have children shouldn’t depend on how much money you have. It saddens me when the rich talk about eugenics and population control. Let’s not forget where Jesus was born. Sorry again for answering a question with a question. I didn’t realise that it’s not the done thing.
You don't think parents should be able to raise their children/be responsible for their welfare? It takes money. Would you buy a house you couldn't afford? I know some do. It applies to everything Gk. Being financially responsible. I'm going to ask that question. Thank you for your reply and Happy Thursday.
I’m against mindless consumerism. I believe that the gift of life shouldn’t have a price tag. Jesus was born in a manger. I was brought up in poverty and I’m not ashamed of it. Hope you have a good day too Rosie :)

I asked a couple of questions based on this discussion Gk. Would you buy a home you couldn't afford or a car or a Rolex watch that was beyond your means? I think having children that you cannot afford to provide for and take care of is mindless. No disrespect intended. Anyone can have children. That doesn't make you a parent. A parent protects/cares for/provides for/guides their children. They don't have them wantonly without thought of the future. Providing or helping out with a college education is something most parents aspire to do. If you have two children that is easier to achieve than if you have ten. Different strokes. I have never had a check bounce, had a creditor call , declared bankruptcy. NEVER. I live within my means and always have . I have one son. He is a college professor and lives a very good life. I was a single mom having divorced his dad when he was 3 years old. Now if I had 6 kids how do you think they would have fared? I earned a good living considering the only degree I have is an AA degree in Liberal Arts. No further formal education except night school. I earned a good living having one child. If I'd had a lot more their futures would have been dicey. Your philosophy works for you. Mine works for me. I'm a retired Internal Auditor. Surprising considering my education did not prepare me for it. However I took night school courses and was mentored throughout my working life by brilliant knowledgable CPA's with whom I worked at various jobs. They took a liking to me and so I got my education on the job. As a retired Internal Auditor I audited many things. Being able to pay my way and have a good credit history was very mportant to me. OK. I 've said enough. You get my drift. Thank you for your reply.
I don’t believe in divorce. I think when selecting a partner women should be more selective and then when they marry they should honour the vows that they make to God. Children need a mother and father. A mother to mother children and a father to provide. I believe it’s much more important for a man to be able to provide, and believe that the growing number of men committing suicide is down to not being able to provide for women and children.
Providing used to mean hunting, let’s remember that. The monetary system isn’t natural in the same way that child birth is. I was born with the ability to produce sperm for reproduction. It was given to me unconditionally. I don’t have to put coins in to make the sperm work. My testosterone makes me seek out women to reproduce with. That’s why I’m here.
We could all be forced into poverty. Does that mean that only the one percent should reproduce?

The issue is not marriage or divorce Gk. The issue is should you have as many children as you want whether or not you can support them? Can you stick to that subject and not get distracted and go off on different paths? Your point is have as many kids as you want. My point is you shouldn't because what happens to them if you can't support them. Divorce/living in sin/loving a same-gender person/being an atheist. None of that is the topic. OKAY?
If God wants you to have 10 children then you will have 10 children. He gave us everything we need. We have enough resources on the planet for everyone. Why should the poor be punished for poor distribution of wealth? I was brought up in poverty and it made me stronger than if had been brought up with a silver spoon in my mouth.
I know zip about Bill Gates' parents Zack. I do know that Fred, dad of donjohn was arrested I believe way back when for marching with the KKK long ago. I do know that Fred and donjohn were sued for discrimination against black people who wanted to buy or rent from them. The Fred and donjohn lost! So of course the apple doesn't fall far from the tree does it? The racist bigot donjohn rode the coattails of his daddy dearest. I think he has had 6 bankruptcies so far? How many has Bill Gates had? I'm gonna Google it and then ask a question about it! SIGH. Thank you for your reply and Happy Thursday! :)
