So, what do we think 36 years on? Page 2

If he was a fit father he would be raising the child. Simples.

What if the woman won't let him?

Fit lads do a lot more skirt-raising than child-raising.

When asked to explain why, a spokesman for fit lads said "It's more fun."

But that article has such an anti woman feel. It took a man and a woman to make every one of those babies.

Maybe he wrote something similar about the men involved, if so, do link us to it.

It's also worth bearing in mind that this was said just five years after the end of the 60s.

Times were different then, believe me, I was there.

Ha, yeah, I did bear that in mind (a bit). :)

Having babies is the new racism.

Won't be long before anybody with any sense will realise that allowing themselves to become impregnated is just as obnoxious as killing people in the developing world.

They are born to mothers /.../ of low educational attainment.

The link between education and birth rates is now well-documented, across the world. If you're worried about uneducated people having too many kids, then the answer is simple- educate them!

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D I nearly wet myself when I read that. I teach in a primary school in an area of high social deprivation. We currently have a class in year 3 (7 year olds) where 15 out of 26 chlidren have Individual Education Plans. That's 15 children supposedly to have their own tailor made activities all sorted by one teacher and a classroom assistant. This situation has come about through parental neglect and the so called Foundation stage in infant schools where the pupils learn at their own rate. Or not at all in this case. Educate that!

Well, maybe not 36 years ago.

No, I'm more arguing with the original quote's application to the modern day, which is what the thread is about :P

Too many chav babies?

Two words: King Herod.

Say no more.

Nudge, nudge.

Wink, wink.

Know what I mean, Squire?

Women are more obsessed with having babies than men, though. A lot of these lower class oikettes see a child as her God given right and something that will make them a worthwhile person. Wheras feckless men just want sex.

F**kless ones, too.

Behave yourself, Matthew.
