Married with Children? You're amongst the elite in America.

Its good and dangerous at the same time. Generation upon generation of highly-educated, highly-intelligent, well-to-do kids is a good thing. But we also have generation upon generation of institutionalized, under-educated, drug-engrossed, poor kids as well.

Now here's the rub. Capitalism, the best and most proven system in the world, is based on competition. So we have one class emerging that is uniquely positioned to compete and another class emerging that is wholey and inadequately equipped to compete. The risk of our society bifercating and having no middle class is great.

which is why our public schools need to be made the best in the world......and the adequate money be put into it and the whole damn thing overhauled. But I thought you weren't a proponent of public education??

In most ways, it doesn't, in fact, it discourages marriage, as I have itemized ad nauseum.

.

no it doesnt...........every where you turn in this fucking country there is pressure to get married and have kids. It's A GOOD THING THAT PEOPLE ARE WISENING UP to the fact that hasty marriage can ruin your fucking life.

Just not a proponent of Bad public education, which is the majority of public education. So you could say he is against public education by de facto. Chucking more money at it wont fix the problem either as evidenced by the legions of private schools who turn out a much higher quality product with less costs.

Good Lord does anyone else feel the need to put their waders on? The hypocrisy on this thread makes me want to vomit.

It's really very simple: If one thinks that the institution of marriage is being threatened by divorce - then as with abortion - if you dont agree with the practise JUST DONT HAVE ONE. Shut your mouth and go about your business as ye who is without sin should cast the first stone.

Pay more attention to your own garden for a change then perhaps the garden of your neighbor will be of less interest.

The US Divorce rate was 4.0/1,000 in 2001,in 1951-1953 it was 2.5/1,000. Divorce has always been a major issue in US society. Heck, in 1946 it as 4.3/1,000 in the United States.

Or one could simply homeschool their children but there are very few parents who would take on such a tremendous commitment and responsibility.

Yes, by all means, lets nationalize education so the poorest children can be even more fucked-up than before. That government magic bullet will sure fix it!

Typical response... we just need to put more money into government. Some people never learn from past mistakes.

Now we could, just for fun, address the real issue of generational welfare recipients who are wards of the state and crank-out crack addicted kids but that would be too pragmatic. Even if you spend $10M in education on a crack-addicted, fetal alcohol syndrome baby from a third-generation welfare mother who isn't even sure who the father is, chances are he's not going to be a productive member of society.
