Blogger is wrong about gender roles

Andrea You do know you are allowed to pay more to the Government don't you? You state you want more to go to these causes so send the Government more money.. Or are you just saying that to make yourself feel good about it?

I suspect you really have no intention of paying more!

So You continue to enable these people and they will continue to*****the country dry.. Pretty soon the non-working*****from the taxpayers will out number the taxpayers..

I will not live long enough to see it but you Andrea will be in your 70s or 80s and you will see what your thought process has brought upon America.

The depression years will be here upon everyone because no one will want to work and they will all want it for free.

It was not free 20 years ago and we made it but now this generation cannot make it, and Lord only knows what the next generation will demand..

Just continue to support all the free Andrea.. Its going to come back to bite you in the end. The country cannot survive if we continue to allow freeloaders to burn up all the revenue. Every day this country gives away more free and does nothing to find the root cause..

Where do YOU think the money will come from when everything becomes FREE?

Like I said, you'll pay for it one way or another even if the government goes away like you want. No health care coverage means more sick people who go to emergency rooms for care, racking up huge bills that result in higher medical costs for everyone else. No safety net for children of single mothers means more kids in the foster care system or juvenile justice system or eventually in prison, which society will pay more for than if it had funded early childhood programs or required insurance to pay for birth control for the mother. People who don't deserve help have children who do and kids who are raised in chaotic households and in poverty grow up to commit more crime, which you or your family may fall victim to. So, to answer your question, as long as you are a member of society, you will ALWAYS pay for it somehow. I pay taxes too and I wish more of them went to fund those policies.

Just tell me where it ends Andrea.. Just tell me when its NOT my responsibility to take care of someone who has no desire to work, no desire to be morally responsible, no respect for adults and users of the system..

How far are you willing to go with YOUR PAYCHGECK to take care of those who REFUSE to take care if themselves?

At what point do people make a decision to FORCE people to become members of a normal society and quit living off others.

When you give people a crutch (especially with money attached) they will use it ALLL their life.

Drug Counselors call you people ENABLERS!! That's what you and the Government are. You take away any desire for people to make it on their own because you pay them NOT TO!!!

I also think you cannot legislate morality, which this seems to be an attempt to do. I prefer laws that address the problems in the world as it is, not as I might wish it to be.

They already do fine and jail fathers who don't pay child support or who have fathered kids with younger girls. As far as I can see, all that does is ensure that the father isn't around for the kids and isn't able to work to pay child support. Doesn't do much good. Child support also tends to be high enough that some guys can't pay it and still support themselves adequately. I'm not sure what the solution is, but better use of birth control would probably prevent some of those unplanned pregnancies.

You and I have a fundamental difference in the way we look at these issues. I believe government has a responsibility provide social welfare programs for the good of society; you apparently don't. Well-funded social programs are a good investment because they prevent worse problems further down the road. One way or the other, we're going to pay for the ills caused when people don't get adequate health care or can't afford to take care of their children on their own.

Where is it going to stop Andrea? What do you see as an end to this Government game?

Putting a band aid on it is not solving the problem.. Money does not solve the problem..yet you want to continue to support the bad habits of these people.

I for one would rather see a fine put on the father with jail time.. Maybe then the guys wouldn't be so quick to engage in*****sex..

Maybe they should serve some jail time..

Andres young mothers only get Government help because the dammmm Government gives it to them.. The problem IS the Government. Years ago your child was your responsibility now its the Governments responsibility..

We have Government Babies now in your Generation. babies that have the Government for a Daddy..

If they are born out of wedlock take them away and GIVE them to Government Orphanages..

People like YOU and the Government don;'t let people EVER do anything for themselves.. That's why America is becoming a welfare state..And you and folks like you are called enablers..

One way or another we are going to pay for the results of somebody's sexual conduct. Poor single mothers end up requiring government assistance to raise their children, which the government does indeed pay for. If we don't pay for that assistance, we end up with higher child abuse and higher crime rates and fewer kids who are educated enough to get good jobs and pay taxes. Paying for birth control, health care, etc. will save all of us more money in the long run.

Its not society's job to pay for your acts of sexual contact..

Why is it other peoples jobs to pay for your lack of judgement?

What next? Will we have to buy their Tampax and kotex and such so they don't stain their underwear? After all underwear is very expensive especially if you are going to college and need to look your best..

How about we solve this problem once and for all. Lets just castrate all male babies at birth then we would never EVER have to deal with this problem again..

I mean geeeeze.. If we did that look at all the medical expenses we could prevent FOREVER!!!

How stupid are people that they think OTHER PEOPLE should pay for our sexual activity?

REALLY????

Andrea you are way off base on this one..

Fluke may have exaggerated the actual cost of birth control for a law school student, but they are an extra expense for young women who might not be making a lot of money. Realistically, whether you think it is morally right or not, most unmarried and married young men and women are sexually active; most would like to avoid an unexpected pregnancy if they are responsible.

If we're looking at it realistically, paying for birth control is less expensive than paying to raise a child. if the mother is poor, single and stressed, an unwanted child is likely to cost society more in terms of subsidized day care and medical care and Head Start and, possibly down the road, in the juvenile justice and foster care system. I'd far rather see birth control better used than see women getting an abortion, too.

Oh wait YOUR generation Sandra Fluke was just on TV She wants you and I to pay for her s e x life.. Just because.. she wants to not spend her own money on birth control pills because after all she is doing the whole fing world a favor by going to college..

Whats with your generation Matt???

Matt over my lifetime with the interest accrued at an average of 3% I paid in over $353 Thousand dollars which includes the interest earned....It will take me 17 years just to draw out MY portion.(and thats not counting the interest it is drawing for these 17 years). Now I may very well live beyond the 17 years but just to use up the 17 years I have to live another 9 years..

But what about all the druggies on disability.. How much have they paid in? How about all the kids out there collecting ss death benefits how much have they paid in? You see its not US PEOPLE who worked and paid into the system that are draining it.. We have our money in there.. Its all the freeloaders (as usual) who are drawing things they have never put one single nickle into.. That's your Governments way of taking care of people yet they now have drained the swamp and the alligators are at their door and they are hungry..

So far I have not taken ONE NICKLE of your money or anyone elses.. Its the money I

Compound interest wasn't enough to make up for it. As we can see now, the fund is going bankrupt because you drained it.

Do you really want to defend your 76% of stolen income?

I guess we will have to wait till June and see what the Supreme Court does with Obama Care.

If the court sees it Obama's way 60% of the people will vote against Obama just to stop him from shoving anything else down the throats of the American people.

If the court rules it unconstituional.. 60% of the people will vote against Obama..just to keep him from squandering anymore of the peoples money on wasted legislation.

Either way Obama will become the "biggest" loser after the court decision June 2012.

Where is Walrus????

The Blunt amendment has been defeated. I think that is for the best since it would have given insurance companies too much latitude to deny coverage just by citing conscience.

Olddoggiepoo.This is not just about birth control.This is about any procedure that they feel is not necessary,You know like heart,brain, cancer,So get off the pot and read the Blunt admenment.

the Blunt amendment, which is expected to come up for a vote in the Senate on Thursday, would reverse the national health-care law’s requirement that all employers, including religious-affiliated institutions, provide health coverage that includes contraceptive care at no co-pay cost to employees.

Ratt some of us are getting abit tired of paying everyone elses way.. If they don't want to use birth control knock off the sex.. Just use the Clintion method and they won't need Birth Control..

The reputents(scott brown) is trying to pass a bill called the blunt admenment.lOOK IT UP. I guess they will not get many women votes. But they can always count on the one percent.

So I paid in 24% to the IRS Matt how much did you TAKE speaking of takers in earned income credits and such that you guys use and get back everything you paid in and more..

Do you know anything about compound interest Matt?

And maybe you should look at all the people who are drawing SS for drug problems.. I know you are a big supporter of legalized drugs and no laws and I can almost bet once you smoke your brains out you will be getting SS for a disability along with all the other drug addicts who now are disabled from brain damage and draw off the system

Old Dog: You may have paid into Social Security for all those years, but you also spent your share years ago. Now you have the gall to come after mine? Yeah, you're a "taker", not a "giver".

Andrea I was making $1.20 an hour when my first child was born.. He cost me $350.00 when I took him and the wife out of the hospital.. Last year my grandsons wife had a baby. My Grandson makes $23.00 an hour The hospital bill was $9000. So you do the math. But let me explain something first.. When our 1st was born I didn't have a cell phone payment, I didn't have a TV Cable hookup payment, I didn't have a computer, I didn't drive a new car and the one I drove was used and paid for. I didn't have a new house or all the toys people cannot live without today.

You see its possible for these slugs you want to pay for to have money for the hospital bill or for insurance if they could just give up all the toys they think they cannot live without. My family lived and survived and did very well without them but people today "DIE" if they cannot have everything.. So no I don't want to pay for others Babies so they can have all the modern crap

Well Matt lets compare income tax this year and we will see who is the Giver and who is the Taker.. Mine is 24% of my income.. Whats yours? And 24% of my income is just about what I get from Social Security.. AND MATT that happens to be the SS account I paid into for 42 years.. Now lets hear how much you are paying in in taxes.. My guess is you and your wife and kid are probably collecting off the earnerd income credit.. My guess is you are a taker and use your wife's company as a means of not paying taxes right?
