Humans breeding out of control

Ok, it's a discussion point, I agree, but on such a wonderful morning I would not be stuck in listening to politics, comedy or anything else. I was however in a wild flower meadow raking off the cut hay and loading onto a trailer behind a petrol paraffin David Brown, topic of discussion was as important as the bestest fuel for a Kelly Kettle, and the favoured outdoor brew. Its a different world down here Dean

I cannot believe that on such a beautiful sunny autumnal day that anyone could compose such a depressing thread so full of misery.

PS I live in a council house and had two kids by the time I was 25, i left school at 16 with the minimum of qualifications. Generalisations suck

 

Generalisations can be unfortunate, but I think in this case are mostly warranted. My mother in law, prior to retirement, worked in a nursery and despaired at the level of parenting amongst many of the families hailing from a Northampton council estate. 7 kids wasn't uncommon, with as many different fathers, often all with names starting with the same letter. In addition to this, some kids (aged 3-4) made it to school without being toilet trained, yet able to operate the latest games console. It's a dire state of affairs.

 

The problem is that historically, social support would not have been extended to those who recklessly reproduced without any regard as to how to provide for them. This kept this population demographic in check. Now, no such constraint exists and we have a situation where young girls actually aspire to a council flat and a string of illegitimate sprogs.

 

With regards to whether it's a beautiful day or not, debating is a wonderful thing and every opportunity should be taken to flex the logic circuits!

Maybe I just like my life too much to be worrying unduly about that which I have no control over. I can go out and play in a field with a tractor in the sunshine, others can sit and stew about human kinds future, if there is one.

Yes, the reckoning is coming...

Well I was metal detecting inbetween making sand castles on the beach with my girls, a fantastic morning only tainted by a woman reversing into a parked Suzuki jeep and driving off.

I wrote down the number plate and after walking down onto the sand the only person in sight was an elderly chap walking towards me with his dog. I asked very politely if it was his Suzuki parked in the car park and his reply was NO AND I DONT WANT TO BUY ANY HEATHER:lol:

 

Well I bet my bottom bollock that it was his and him. Being negative only breeds negativity imo, if it was his jeep then the damage will probably reinforce his outlook on life.

No Felix, the Guardian reader will be queueing to jump in front of the 7.45am express into London due to his depression at his life history.
