I have now officially taken over this thread! It's mine now...you may play in the thread but everyone has to hand over two pieces of bubble-gum, a bar of chocolate and a bottle of a delicious liquor...otherwise...I will become extremely miffed!
Really? Because that would mean that even though I owned two houses a few years ago and then sold them, I would not be able to vote. That would essentially put me out of voting and I have voted in every election since I was 18.....
Just a simple statement I-Z...I did not bring religion into any of statements and I honestly don't see the need to...I don't believe that you or I will see "eye-to-eye" on this subject as I view it differently than you and our interpretations of what each is meaning...so I will stop answering after this and just enjoy reading what you and others post.
#1-What is the meaning of this question? Not all parents who have children intended themselves to be "poor." Within the last few years, some parents have lost their jobs, their homes and their savings. Now that the parents are "poor" is it right to penalize the children, i.e., medical assistance, food assistance, clothing assistance?
#2-A "perfectly" healthy child can become "handicapped" at any time in their lives (Traumatic Brain Injury , Vehicular Accident, etc.) Would it be fair to the child/children to not seek any and all available avenues of assistance? Every child has the potential to have some form of "handicap", so should no child be born?
#3-Each country is different in how it handles children who are "dumped" (call it what you will). No country is more right or more wrong than another. All we can do as citizens of this world is to help as best we can.
I love that my children are adults and out of the "nest." This is ME time and I am, quite honestly, enjoying it to the hilt! When the first one flew the coop, it was a bit hard but it got easier with each child and now my youngest is out of the home and making his life and I am re-discovering ME! Turns out I am more than just a "mom"....who would have thunk it?
My oldest daughter & SIL belong to a bike club! Have ridden to raise money for charities, have performed as riders for funerals for dignitaries and both hold good jobs...oh yeah! They both have tattoos and piercings.
