People not fit to breed

I've been stewing over this for a few days, waiting for a period of relative
sobriety to post it.

A while back a six-year-old child was killed when he had an "accident" on an
ATV. His father let him use the ATV without supervision on the farm. The
father didn't think it would be a good idea to put a helmet on the child in
case he might come off, or overturn, or just lose control (the child's legs
wouldn't reach the footboards).

The inquest was this week.

"Well, I thought he might break a leg or an arm, but I never thought he
would hit his head", said the father, who says he has been around bikes and
ATV's for 40 years. "He was a very experienced rider, he's been riding
since he was two". "He did nothing wrong, it was just a bad break".

The mother said words to the effect of "Accidents happen, it was just bad
luck"

They both have been doing the rounds of the news shows saying how unlucky
they are and how they'd hate people to think that they didn't care about
their child's wellbeing.

Pond scum.

The press report it as a 'motorcycle accident'. No motorcycle, no accident.

 

I've always believed there should be a license system for breeding, similar
to driving a car. Some people should not be allowed to do either.

Isn't it funny that you need a license to drive, ride and catch a fish, but
anyone can create their own humans to wreck havoc on the world.

 

Licence system for breeding, similar to driving a car? Hmmm. Does that mean
a theory test followed by practical. With Transport Dept. watching?

I think you mean licence for upbringing!!!!! If that were the case, some of
us wouldn't be here!!

 

With current technology you'd have to be very unlucky to get knocked up
unless you tried (and some can't when they DO try) so I suggest some form of
"You can't have kids unless you prove you can keep them" test.

Sad to say it but Hitler -almost- had the right idea.

Tell that to all the girls who go into the abortion clinic where my wife
works.

I'd bet a fair whack of them are 'oopsies'

Exactly. The window for conception is fucken small so to stumble across it
by mistake while taking proper precautions is un-fucken-likely.

Oopsies?

Oopsies = not taking proper precautions when they know full well the
consequences.

Ahh. Probably most.

Met a woman in her mid-40s at the hospital when my daughter was born. She'd
had her kids in her 20s and planned and worked toward a world tour after
they'd left home.

She'd been told she was six months pregnant. Not happy Jan...

 

Hech some people reckon 6 is ok for unsupervised gun use too.

 

ugh, thatd put a cramp, uhm, crimp in your plans

WTF ??? didnt know that she was 6 month pregnant ??

Sort of like standing at the prison gate upon release only to see the gate
open into another prison...

Haha! That's a pretty dim view of the concept of having children, isn't it?

Garngeffuct, paulh, I might be soft but I'm not whiny or sanctimonious

Are you suggesting you could mount an argument that the parents have
exercised normal common-sense? (I _know_ you could mount an argument about
anything, but I mean a cogent argument).

 

"I'm not cynical, I'm a realist..."

 

You sell houses?
