Why do poor people knowingly have children?

[Koba St]

some people use their new born as a source for motivation and inspiration to get out of bed and make a better living

Worst motivational idea ever.

So basically only people who make a certain amount of money should be allowed to have children.

What's wrong with that? We already have over 7billion people on this planet and growing fast and the world is becoming more mechanised meaning less need for humans.

I actually would support a ban of having kids if your wages are below a certain threshold.

Black children aren't born into poverty because their parents can't afford a 'better' life. They are born into poverty because Black people have been marginalized, segregated, and manipulated for over 300 years in this country and only control about 2-3% of the wealth in it. African American people's entire familial structure has been destroyed and reverse engineered to engender inequality on a world-wide level. Most current wealth was generated generationally and our ancestors were never allowed to have any part of it to hand down to their descendants. Truth be told, over 70% of the entire population of this country (Black, White, Hispanic, etc.) can't afford to have children according to the criteria established by the elitists in this thread. I know this because I've worked for Federal programs specifically designed for low/fixed income households for nearly 20 years.​

Because with all the other supposed 'freedoms' we possess, that's the only one that the Government doesn't control.......yet.​

Basicially.

The only thing you can't take from people to physical intimacy.

It sounds crazy but some people don't give a fukk about money or a plan for anything

One of my friends is a reasonable intelligent human being, he got his girl pregnant while in college and wanted to keep the baby despite not having a job, not being financially stable, just wanted that family with his girl.......crazy, I know. She ended up saving him from himself

I also met a chick off tinder who worked at boston market and was still in school talking about how she wanted a baby. I looked at her like she was crazy & asked don't you want to be stable before you have a child....& she just was content.

but yeah for the most part there are a lot of accidents out here.

I mean some people don't agree with killing unborn babies just to "save yourself". I see nothing crazy about a man wanting to take responsibility for the life he created instead of just killing it.

Accidents happen when it comes to children being born. Some of us choose to run from it by taking a life, some of us choose to own up and take responsibility for that life. Sounds like your friend was just trying to be a man

He didn't use birth control, neither did she. He willing put himself in situation where he could have a child and embraced it despite not being in a place where he could raise it properly.

I can't speak for anyone else but I don't go raw in chicks who aren't my girlfriend and are on birth control, otherwise I stay strapped. I don't want a child right now.

We don't pay all these gat damn taxes to not get benefits. This America the kids will be good.

And don't act like a cac thinking people on assistance are the reason your taxes are so high. That's welfare you giving to rich cacs.

Procreate

 

[Mowgli]

My friend and his wife both black, educated, making over 200k dont want children . This is Idiocracy in real life where the intelligent are dying out and being replaced by morons.

How intelligent are you really if you got money and believe procreation is a bad idea.


For the collective elite that's obviously proves they're actually stupid.

My 2nd child due in may. And we gonna have 2 more

Think you winnin in life because you smash unwifable whores bruhs.

 

[Mr Hate Coffee]

Because the p*ssy was to good.
Or because the sense of achievement in creating a human being.

 

[philmonroe]

Who should regulate who is fit to have kids? And if money is the issue what amount? Maybe only people making 100k and over should be able to have kids.

I don't know who is fit to regulate but realistically most people born into bad situations usually stay in them right? I don't have no studies even though I'm sure I could find them but that's been said on here and other places and I'm sure everybody isn't pulling it out their ass. Also why would you want to do that to your kids? I thought the objective was to put them in the best situation to succeed and the like.

 

[philmonroe]

Its a lot of high earners that are having kids... .and also, because you're a high earner doesn't mean you're intelligent either..... and vice versa

Nah I disagree with the intelligent part all day everyday. A small percentage of people are high earners but they aren't intelligent stop it. They may not be book smart but they smart enough in their chosen discipline to be paid well. I'm also speaking about those who earned the money themselves not from a trust fund or the like. That's intelligent to me even if not the way some try to use intelligence to shade people at times.

I'm not disputing how he got her pregnant, I'm saying he stood up like a man and was at least willing to try and raise a life he created.

There is no perfect time to have a child, and finances are not the only thing u need to raise a productive member of society. There are many rich people who are totally unfit to raise children, just like there are poor people who actually make great parents. It's not as black and white as ur trying to make it seem. There is no income level that determines if u will be a good parent or not.
