I know you lot like a good debate.

So noticed this article, Kiwi politician says offer the underclass money to steriles and the whole country will be better off:

Kiwi politician calls for the 'underclass' to be sterilised to solve the country's child abuse problem

A FAMOUSLY-rude Kiwi politician has proposed a new solution to the country's dire child abuse problem - sterilise the "underclass''.

Michael Laws - who stirred up contempt by calling the late Tongan King a "bloated brown slug'' - has again hit headlines for the wrong reasons.

The regional mayor claimed that the children of beneficiaries, drug addicts and criminals had little chance in life and were prime targets for child abuse.

Sterilising their parents was the best solution, he brazenly suggested.

"If we gave $10,000 to certain people and said 'we'll voluntarily sterilise you' then all of society would be better off,'' he told the Dominion Post newspaper.

"There'd be less dead children and less social problems.''

He was commenting on the latest death of a toddler, two-year-old Karl Perigo-Check, who was the son of a convicted murderer and gang member.

Well, maybe mass sterilisation is going a little over the top, but I would be in favour of breeding licences. Maybe some form of test or training that has to be completed satisfactorily before you get your licence to procreate.

I can think of a variety of certain types of females that should be sterilised

I agree with your licence model. Not every person is suitable to be a parent. And that has nothing to do with classes (where I thought that we did not use such a system in the western world).

I think I am not suitable to be a parent so does my OH. What a match no licence needed, no kids scheduled.

Interestingly that would cause a massive problem


There is a large swing in upper class requiring IVF where as lower class are mainly el natural

Well this isn't PC at all and therefore I am outraged!

I agree BC its JUST NUTS!

Dorothy

With no bogans who would we watch on Today Tonight or A Current Affair?

Or who could you rely on to burgle your house while your away? I can't imagine a middle manager taking an hour off work to trash your house and take a dump on your bed.

No, me neither. And who is going to drive the house prices down in all those lower class suburbs?

Really, I think this politician had better rethink this idea.

Where does the underclass begin, for starters.

scottishcelts

I think Dorothy hit the nail on the head with the bogans.

Dorothy

Anyone more bogan than me. And anyone who ends a question without a ?

Well this will probably get this thread taken to the TIO, but...

Does anyone else think they can judge, just by looking at someone for 5 seconds you can tell whether they should be allowed to reproduce or not?

Just the look in their eyes, their facial features. The slack jaw, dull facial expression, facial tatoos.

Yeah yeah, I know I should have been born in Nazi Germany
