Feath said:I fail to see what's wrong with these girls getting benefits. Why are these people any less deserving that any other single mother?
Edcrab said:What's wrong with giving them money? Nothing, because the children (who are hardly to blame) warrant support, which their still-schooling mothers can't provide.
Doesn't mean I have to be happy about it though.
But as for being "less deserving"- the mother blames the same government (or more accurately the educational system) that's bailing her and her daft kids out of certain bankruptcy- well, that's just taking the biscuit. Feel glad you live in a country that gives handouts to the promiscious and the ignorant so that their children might live properly, you bunch of ungrateful louts.
*ahem* Nothing to see here.
mortiz said:Like their kids will get that money, the mothers will probably spend it on fags and booze.
Yes, well... I'm not allowed to comment on that because I'll upset Feath.
Besides, just because they're strangely inarticulate (well, they are very young) and their mother is a complete idiot doesn't necessarily mean they'll be bad parents!
Sure it increases the probability of it, but hey, maybe having half a country thinking their family is completely insane will shake them up a bit.
Feath said:Hmm, You've got a few prejudices there. It's not a crime to be poor and you shouldn't think that everyone on council estates are alcoholic chain smokers.
There's nothing to differentiate between a single mother of 14 and a single mother of 25. They both need to care for their child. You can't just decide "Oh, this person will probably be a bad mother. Therefore she shouldn't get any money, or she should get her kid taken off her".
CptStern said:children parenting children ...how quaint. I cant see how a person barely out of childhood could possibly raise a baby without something suffering
the chav mother of the three girls probably didnt have much of a childhood either ...she was aprox 21 when she had her first kid ...far too young IMHO
Edcrab said:I could start going into the concept of responsibility, but it'd be a waste of time because the issue has never been nailed. Blame the parents? Blame society? Blame a kid with no concept of contraception? Or maybe all three?
And I'm sorry to say that if the single mother of 25 had a child as an accident- and then supported her parent's belief that it wasn't either of their faults- I wouldn't be very sympathetic of her plight either. But it's not fair to make such a comparison because a 14 year old is markedly stupider- for want of a better word- than an adult.
So neither of us can really compare them- but I will say that the age of consent is 16 for a reason. I do hope their mother has a better matriachal sense than her sense of accountability, because it'll be difficult for them- despite all the government funding.
And, well said, you shouldn't presume people are anything other than what they are because of their background or home. But these people are smokers (unless they only light up for the novelty value when on TV) and they are, by their own admission, badly educated and ignorant blame-shifters.
It's tragic, and it pains me to admit it, but some people need to plan their lives more thoroughly. I'm sure those babies will be very happy to know they were accidents. Unless their parents destroy all the relevant internet sites and all the newsreels.

Feath said:I agree with a lot of what you are saying but the point I'm making is that they haven't done anything to justify not giving them benefits that other single mothers are entitled to.
What about just aborting the parents?SimonomiS said:Parenting Licenses. Abortions for anyone pregnant without one.
Too controversial? Too extreme? Too totalitarian?
They are quite simply pointless.KoreBolteR said:those 3 girls were ugly fat chavs.
they will live off benefits, that psis me off
short recoil said:They are quite simply pointless.
They are just leaching, taking from the government, not providing a thing.
Think, their kids will most likely grow to be useless pieces of trash
They will smoke and drink heavily, the hospitals will have to deal with their usless corpses.
They take over £600 in benefits...........for doing nothing.
"oh but they've got children to look after"
Damn that pisses me off, i would say let them and their children starve on no benefit.........but of course the children being inocent means you have to care for them, damn system.
They will help overpopulation, they will pollute, they will eat food.
What are they going to provide?
Nothing.........even if they get a job in mcdonalds there are better people you could employ, i've seen chav types at part time places of work when i was at school..........they are useless.
In theory like a usless peice of trash is cleared off the floor of the house they should be removed.
Extreme, yes.
I help the system, i pay tax, i don't pollute, i don't populate, i help people lots. it all seems in vain when these types drag me down.
Scum.
