I've been to 5 African countries: trust me, they're shitholes

There is no way to sugar coat that fact and to continue behaving like that will mean their children and their children in turn will have a worse standard of living. It will also lead to more and more problems in Europe and likely see a massive shift to the right. I don't particularly want to see that happen. If one really loves the planet and wants to make a difference all they need to do is stop having so many children. It is that simple. 4 children is still completely unsustainable. Mathematically 1 is decent, 2 pushing it and 3 and beyond a bit selfish. We have all the knowledge and information we need. We know that to keep pushing it like this the consequences will be dire.

Bullshit and you know it. It's not about hurting somebodies feelings other than you, Brockton and Trump. Nobody is telling you vacuous degenerates how to live your lives yet here you are lecturing people insisting they be like you. My daughter has 3 kids and you are calling her selfish? She works and so does her husband but you with your PS4 and 32 weeks off a year think she is the selfish one. If you are genuinely worried then maybe you should adopt and help raise some of the next generation to be just like you ;D You are obviously afraid of having to meet more Africans as their population grows, but that is your issue, not the worlds. You are expecting the world to reflect your conservative right wing western values but that world does not work like that. When you say species survival you mean white men and asian women, not the human race

Yes I would say she is selfish.

That is a peculiar rant. If every woman was to have 3 children each the world would also be in significant trouble, though less quickly than if every woman was having 6 children. The average is actually 2.5 in the world today and we heading towards Malthus style consequences as a result of even that. Mathematically it is not sustainable on a finite planet. As for the 'degenerate' and 'selfish' accusations. Well, that is neither here nor there with me. I am quite comfortable with my own impact on the environment.

Most will claim benefits as they cant afford to keep the children they have , others will work minimum wage so never pay tax , their children will get free healthcare / education / etc. no real benefit to the indigenous stock.Taking in a qualified doctor is very different from a peasant with nothing , although id prefer to train doctors rather than take that option.Thats what happens when you let people from 3 world countries into a stable society , thankyou liberal ponces.

Indigenous stock :-X. Interesting perspective, never seen that. Not speaking for Countries I've never lived in or know, lot of that going around, but locally that's a bit of an unrealistic want. Fact is there will always be minimum wage earners be it a starting wage for first timers in the job market or a single parent working 1 or 2 to make ends meat. Plenty of hard working guys and gals also require Government assist. This society wouldn't have it any other way and frankly we need them. I have no problem with immigrants who are willing to work regardless of what scholarships they can show at the boarder. I have little doubt that someone living a life with little to no modern conveniences, looking over their shoulder with warlords or famine and plying enough to actually make a physical and mental change can come here and frankly put many a spoiled 'peasant' to shame as far as work ethic and earning an opportunity in a free society. Willing to work and working forward is key for me.

how the helz did this become about Sweden ffs ;D

And this bit.

You're essentially blaming the victim. Everything is the womans fault, even the terrible behaviour of the man, who bears no responsibility for the children, mother, contraception, etc.

The lives/opportunities of young mothers from the west and poor countries are totally different, you don't even make the distinction, they're all just terrible women making selfish evil choices.

You identify thousands of young possible squrters leaving their families to find a better life yet blame the women from those countries for not having the education, means and forward planning to comfortably raise the offspring. Most of these people are polluted with religion, the woman has no rights or choice in her partner, raising children is their job, they rely on the man as the bread winner, contraception/abortion is not even an option.

Generally getting pregnant is not about being a victim. If you are suggesting otherwise and that life for women really is this bad then where is the controversy over what Trump said? I am saying you cannot have it both ways. I am also saying why are you letting all these men into Europe too?

Certainly in the West getting pregnant is a personal choice and the woman is generally not a victim. She chooses her partner and lets things happen. It is a choice to get pregnant to men who are not suitable father material. The state will let them jump the line to housing and benefits. They are rewarded.

At the end of the day you typically choose who you sleep with and with and can choose if you get pregnant. We see in Asia people have less children. Africa for various reasons refuses to exercise the same vigilance and it is even more cruel considering there are no resources. It is selfish. To be fair I will say the men are being selfish too.

Why the fuck anyone gives you the time of day is beyond me. You are a freak. Why would I let a guy who takes pictures of himself gurning with other people's kids anywhere near my family A married couple choosing to have three kids is not selfish. You are just sucking up to Miles who like you seems to think everyone should be like him.

I thought your dad was a rotter that abandoned you and your mum (maybe I have you mixed up with someone else)? So you believe it was your mothers fault that he left? That she should have picked a better partner?

Millions and millions of pregnancies are an accident. It is very naive to think any of us were planned, whether we come from a family unit or not. The choice isn't always the mothers whether or not they have/keep a child, a whole load of factors determine that. However, invariably mothers are left with the child when relationships breakdown whether they like it or not, they get a far rawer deal than men.

China's 30-40 year one child policy has only just been eased.

On the whole, I agree with you, it's a disgrace that people have kids that they can't adequately support/raise. Thickos raising thickos. However, the mother is not solely to blame, that's all i'm saying.

Beans I don't see anything wrong with letting me near your family. You just told me that I would not say it to their faces. But now you have retracted that statement and replaced it with an even sillier one. I'm just waiting for an even sillier one from you after that I know you can outdo yourself beans I just know it

In terms of my own situation I see two parents that were completely incompatible from the start. A prime example of two people that collectively managed to cause a lot of trauma all because they failed to consider the impact that their own behavior would have on children. If anything my understanding of that situation only confirms my belief that people without means or any decent reason to be having children should not be having them. It is selfish and inconsiderate not just on the kids but the state who ends up having to subsidize the lifestyle. My own beliefs are that everything should be done to minimise any of that ever happening.

I am cool with people having children who are genuinely devoted to one another and children who are raised with security, love and confidence. However, we all know that this is becoming less and less common and that to me is a tragedy. To have 6 kids and have them trying to escape to welfare states. That is an absolute disaster and it makes me angry. How dare those women and yes, how dare those men do that! It boggles my mind and instead of saying 'How about we stop this nonsense!' you have lefties saying it is me who is selfish. I am not selfish. I consider my impact to the extreme. I don't demand that people be like me. I do demand that nobody have children unless they have thought about it properly and will never abandon them or put them through things that never needed to happen.

The notion that it is an accident is all too true, but not a good enough excuse. That is why as an adult I have consciously rejected the path my parents took and refuse to ever countenance the possibilities of 'a mistake'. A child should never be a mistake! It is the most serious thing you can ever do in life. To bring a life into this world. A being who has no say in the laws, the methods of parenting, the trauma that will inevitably result from poverty, constant moving, the lack of father figures etc. To pass it off as an accident is just wrong. It isn't difficult to avoid accidents.

In the sense that women seem to be attracted to men who won't respect them. That to me is problematic and their fault. Not all men are scallywags, but many are and a woman typically has the say in who she dates. If you take the time to court someone, to build a relationship, over time you know who they are. If you get pregnant in a month, well that is terrible judgement.

I agree with Miles 100% that the woman has far more responsibility as it is she who has to carry the child for 9 months and then nurse the child and most likely raise the child so therefore it is she who has four more responsibility to her own self.

It takes two to tango.

That's true, Al. Brock makes a good point there though. Technically a man could have a one night stand and never see the woman again. She would be left with a baby and it would hardly be the ideal situation for that baby. In that sense she needs to be more wary and understand that it isn't just a bit of fun. She will have to be pregnant for a long time and be left with a child to raise. Surely she should be more sensible and be responsible for her body. In the olden days you would be more careful about all of this as there was no welfare state, but today there are no consequences for reckless behavior.

It's not about blaming the victim as someone who does one night stands is not really a victim. If I knew a one night stand would result in something growing in me for nigh on a year I would avoid them completely or at least go on the pill or demand that Mr Romeo wear a cap.

Miles on the contrary women in the United States get paid $440 per month for each child if they are single moms. If you go to the ghetto areas where I used to live like East Orange New Jersey for example or Paterson New Jersey or in Jersey City you have single moms there with four kids from two or three different fathers and she is collecting $440 per month per kid so technically 1800 US dollars per month from the for kids that more than pays her discounted public housing known as Section 8 housing plus she will get food stamps as well so basically it covers the rent the utilities the food and the transportation.

You are cheating on walrus with Mr Romeo? You cad!

Miles is 100% correct. Miles has completely dominated this point and hands down using pure logic and Common Sense and human decency and dignity he has completely exposed the ugliness of people who just continue to have children with no foresight and no intelligence and no preparedness

Luton is pretty bad and so is the Bronx. Both shitholes

Is this an argument for your own nonexistent existence

On the night of miles' @Gandalf departure from the United Kingdom which he is being hit with mixed emotions and mixed feelings after having not been for so long and he has really just tucked into some nice cozy newspapers and playing snooker and even went to the corner store few times even though the lady looked at him like he was an alien and even though he tried to speak Korean to a few Koreans who probably are British at this point he is about to head back for that Korean New Year's and he has to get up at 2 a.m. to cook some mooncakes and s*** like your wife has to cook @walrus

I am not the one asking for amputees to be burned or hanged. I am not the one asking for celebrities to be arrested and humanitarians helping refugee children to be tarred and feathered, blaming women for absent fathers that fuck off and abandon them, and then telling us an article about a Scottish women having sex with a dog is your kind of article. I think you will find that it is you who is pretty fucking warped. You fetid stretch of armpit flesh.

If one is to believe Brock and Trump who think it a mark of bravery to call another country a cesspool, then you have to wonder quite how their brains operate.

What is wrong with me liking the Scottish woman? First you said it was me and Lyle then you said it was me and Miles now you were saying it is me and Trump. In your wild paranoia you always try to put people together in groups or gangs to try to label them because it makes you feel less insecure and less scared.

I just think it's a bit insulting to call an entire country a cesspool. Sure, the African countries I lived in and visited regularly were very different from Western countries. They certainly weren't as technologically advanced in things like WiFi, Internet, mechanisation, recycling and even some of the basics like regular electricity or plumbing. People didn't have nice cars and lots of gadgets. There were some houses that were much nicer than ones I've seen in the West, but many weren't. There was definitely more open corruption (I have found the West to be equally as corrupt, but just a bit more hypocritical and better at hiding it)

Having said that, everybody knew their neighbour's and looked after them. Kids played outside, not on a computer or games console. People weren't bitter and angry about things on the news or didn't get all het up about unimportant things.

Probably most importantly, people were proud of their country, they knew where they were from and were optimistic about the future. Personally, I wouldn't insult them all with a throwaway line about their country being a cesspool (or even Turd World ;D)

Trump is a builder, is talking about infrastructure, about roads Bridges and tunnels ...Trump is talking about garbage removal Trump is talking about open sewers. Trump is talking about infrastructure. All snowflakes alert alert all snowflakes alert calling a spade a spade is no problem in this world calling things what they are let's get back to Frankness and get away from this daffodil petunia little Daisy politically correct let's not hurt anybody's feelings now garbage that has rotted out the minds of human beings since the late 1980s.

I have been to five African countries they were all shitholes. I have been to seven South American countries they were all shitholes. I have been to Detroit Michigan and Oakland California and Newark New Jersey and the Bronx New York and they are all shitholes.

Get it, Beanzss? Sssss. Bwaha.

So it's just like Britain 30 years ago.

Britain of 30 years ago wasn't that much different to today. The only difference was less immigration, no Internet, cheaper houses and actual cashiers.

You forgot to mention that in 1987 Beanz was living in the woods somewhere over there by Bristol in an abandoned LSD van
