text: should one parent family's, poor people, smokers, criminals and obese people be stopped from having children? this not meant as an insult but to get an insight in todays society. my points are:  one parent family's - the stats show that teeneagers who are out of control come mainly from young one parent familys, we could reduce crime this way.  poor people - it is proven that unemployed people don't inspire their children to get jobs and have a good work ethic, another burden on our overstratched social security system.  smokers/obese people - children follow in their parents lifestyles and therefore children from these parents are going to have unhealthy lifestyles putting huge pressure on our national health service with lung cancer and diseases caused by bad dietry habits.  criminals - why work when daddy can teach you how to burgle and rob people, you know, keep the trade in the family, again putting pressure on our overstretched police service.   i know this may seem quite a right wing, but with actions like these we could have a great nation in 3 generations, please comment i think this is one of the most ridiculous questions i have ever read.  what are you going to do..have people fill out a form before they are allowed to have children?  this is stereotyping.  some children follow in their parents footsteps and some don"t...you obviously dont get out much.  crimes are committed from folk from alll walks of life stupid.  do you not watch the news?  millionaires commit murders, people with money steal..single parent homes dont usually start out that way...most times a loser decides they want out and leave and the single-parent mostly women stay and hold it down as best as she can...i know cause i am a single parent of 4 boys (7-18)  none of my sones have been arrested for anything.  my 18yr old son is going to college this year so dont talk to me about control.  did you not just see that dana reeves died of lung cancer and she was a non-smoker so what now?  idiotic people shouldnt be allowed to have kids and i hope you never do because ignorance kills ya loser.
