Given that most of the nation lives below the poverty line, should there be no more children born? Since Social Security won't exist, we need those kids and grandkids to support us in our old age. That's why poor people have always had children, the more kids the more likely you will have such support when you can no longer work. Do you people really not understand how this works in most of the world?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-28805899068359455502015-02-03T11:42:57.229-05:002015-02-03T11:42:57.229-05:00Where is your respect for the freedom to procreate...Where is your respect for the freedom to procreate?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-1648609318236645382015-02-03T11:41:28.386-05:002015-02-03T11:41:28.386-05:00Good one @ 11:17!

As a result their comments make them seem like Poo Flinging Chimps.<br /><br />In order to prevent PFC syndrome on this topic, this is what Walsh actually wrote:<br /><br />"To me, Kristof is not the enemy. He’s done great work on class, and occasionally on race. Of course he’s privileged and thus occasionally blinkered and befuddled when it comes to race, but someone who consistently tries to understand and communicate about racial injustice is an imperfect ally; a work in progress, not an enemy. <strong>People I respect may disagree.</strong>"<br /><br />I highlighted her last sentence to show, despite Mr. Somerby's savagery in revealing Walsh as a leading cause of culture melting, she has a shared cultural backgound with him which is reflected in literary style.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-39826310180126012272015-02-03T00:22:04.859-05:002015-02-03T00:22:04.859-05:00Heyla, dayla.Heyla, dayla.Kynda Biggnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-23752556720135215542015-02-03T00:17:07.913-05:002015-02-03T00:17:07.913-05:00IMHO they are not so much contributions as "o...IMHO they are not so much contributions as "opinion offerings" within safe parameters of rigid assumptions.
