This post#38 to which you keep referring me and gosh, I don't see a "yes" or "no" here.
Now that you've had even longer to "think about" it, is mandatory birth control applicable to both sexes?
Oh wow, you needed a yes or no from that post?
NO! DUE TO WHAT I SAID IN POST #38.

I can't find any questions that you've asked.
Where might they be?
Why should I bother? There is obviously some type of reading comprehension problem going on. There are questions there though....with question marks and everything and even.

Indeed.
Is every welfare recipient in your personal experience abusing the system then?
Half of 'em?
About how many?
How is it that you come into contact with all these people- from posts in the lounge about vacations and home theatres, you seem to be quite comfortably middle class.
What does that have to do with who I come in contact with? Wow you are truly ignorant of folks on this area.
I also wasn't always where I am today (although I've never been on welfare).
Look guys, my point the entire time has been this...
I have no doubt that abuses occur.
Certainly,
some people do buy drugs with benefit money.
Some women do get pregnant and feed off the trough irresponsibly.
The question is, are the costs of implementing mandatory drug testing and birth control lesser or greater than the amount being siphoned off by abusers?
Once you provide an answer to that relatively easy and neutral question we can move into the real minefield.
Cool beans. I never disputed that there would need to be a study of cost/benefit analysis before deciding on implementation but you seem intent erasing the thought of such a measure.
Busy, since you live in the DC area we'll use that as our test locus.
The population of DC is overwhelmingly black, therefore it's safe to assume that the majority of welfare recipients are also black.
Gee, I wonder how mandatory drug testing and enforced sterilization of a black subgroup by the Federal government is going to go over.
Care to venture a guess?
