So your government doesn't want too many children? Good, now you can remove your uterus, and claim you are doing it for Queen and Country. Very patriotic! I'd suggest letting ovaries be, though. You don't want hot flashes and osteoporosis.
I can just imagine a minister saying that in Israel. Wow, he'd lose his seat before he can draw breath after making said comment. Breeding is a sort of local holy cow.
Oh, it's a lot better today thank you. But I shall keep this for another time. It looks very useful.
It's not even that they don't want lots of children. They don't want POOR people to have lots of children.
Which contains more than a few flaws, not least that childhood lasts for quite a while and of course there's no way your circumstances might change during those 18 years...
Just to be clear - I don't actually want the thing to be removed. Not really. Only for about 24 h a month anyway :D These are some pretty darn fine genes I have and should there ever be an opportunity to dilute the idiocy of the gene-pool with them I'm not against it per se. It's just willing associates I'm having trouble with :D
(There was a woman on the radio last week commenting that the worst-off in the country are the single people who work - I may have given her a "HO YUS!" and a fist pump)
I didn't mean to imply that you had to in any way, sorry. I tried, around 23, just to get rid of the mess. Some of my friends did. So I just sort of assumed ;-).
I don't doubt your fine genes, either. These days, I just pity any new person forced to go through the coming disasters. Them that won't be born with that silver spoon in their mouths, to be precise. And it seems to take the double amount of "silver" every decade, from now on....
Sorry, but who told you that?tomo2kOctober 10 2010, 13:51:45 UTC
There has been no mention of a limit of the size of a family in actual policy!
As far as I can tell, the quote that the media and politcos have gone for is the following: Parents should bear more responsibility for the number of children they choose to have, and cannot expect the state to fund unlimited offspring. - Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt
The actual policy is a limit on benefits for a household of £26,000 pa - or the median wage of the working population

My Genes be awesome! Look at the cut of that denim!
And yes, the future might be turrible and awful, but surely that's all the more reason to fill it full of cheerful optimistic little treehuggers?
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
