I would probably agee with this, serious it is terrib;e that you need a license fpor a dog but not a child. I can see the downside really i can. But the p;anet is OVERPOPULATED!!! serious we need to start sterilising the third world and no im not being sarcastic. This planet has teh resources to support MAYBE two billion people perpetually, we are at 6 billion atm. We have far too many as it is, its time we stopped supporting the artifical support system and let natural selection take over again. I know we shou;d all hold hands and shit but thats just not going to work, we in the first world have to start thinkning of ourselves instead of others. You can want world peace all you want, but when we return to food being scarce i know which side im gonna be on.

That is such a good idea because we all know some piece of paper is really going to stop people from having sex and making babies, right?

*rolls eyes*

Edit: To answer this thread seriously...Any of the suggestions in here would never work, period. Not only would any law regarding something like this not make it past any serious form of debate here in the U.S. it would be nearly impossible to enforce. You'd end up just creating a whole new batch of "criminals" and achieve nothing. Well you'd waste taxpayer money so guess thats something.

It wouldn't work. We require licenses to drive, but there are still people who drive like morons because getting a license is piss easy. If I had things my way, I wouldn't even be allowed to drive.

Requiring a license to have children would just make life slightly more difficult without solving any problems.

i grew up in a place where every parent but my mother was a drug addict. i saw kids running around at midnight coming up to other peoples doors handing over money, or something else, and getting a bag of "sugar", is what the parents called it in front of them. I knew pretty early on a teaspoon of sugar doesn't constitute a $20 bill. And you not only let these people procreate, but you let them keep them?

its like, and as i later learned, weird bruce and old rick, actually was, letting a convicted pedophile babysit for you. I never left my house growing up, and i actually have people ask me why.

Here's to drug addicts handing their children off to pedophiles for the weekend! ah american legal enforcement.

Ew. A wigger, and a slut? 300 accounts of unprotected sex? Having sex in public? "All my girlfriends have babies, I'ma have a baby too!" And stupid? Hot damn, I think we found the winner of this year's "Most Blatant Display of Retardation" contest.

I think, after seeing that, that yes, we do need a parental exam.

No not at all, because that would mean that you would have to test a parent before the child was born so the baby would get taken away as soon as the mother had it. And some people make better parents than they think and vice versa.

YES, OH GOD YES. I hate it when parent let their kids wonder and then yell at someone els about something that happend to them.

And for those who are saying "we'll just take the baby away", these tests should be given to the soon to be parents when they go to the doctors to ask if its safe to have sex. When they get the all clear to get it on give them the test to make sure they can handle a baby. Sure this may not stop teenage pregnacys but still, we need one. Make sure they can support the baby with all the needed food and shelter, and also they must have an I-Q above 80, 80 is just stupid.

So YES GET THE PARENT TEST.

[sup]and if they ever quote Jack Thompson then they automaticaly get their child taken away because it shows how uniformed parents these days are[/sup]

A license to be a parent would probably be a horrible thing to introduce in our society. What happens the mother who doesn't pass and yet has had 3 kids illegally already? Do we arrest her and throw her kids in an orphanage and explain that their mother and father are in jail because of them? I would fear for the next generation.

It would be pointless, what would you do to those that fail? You can hardly steal their baby...
Every 3 years you have to take the test from 18 to Death.


If you fail to take the test, and you have a child you get fined.
What happens when the fine isn't paid?
Is the child then taken away? That would create ever biger issues than poor parenting.
Why don't you look at China's 2 (or is it one i can't remeber) child policy, if you have 3 kids you get an extra fine attached to that child, if the fine isnt paid (i think) the child gets taken to a new home. It may be a bit crule but thats what you get for not whearing a condom. And if the condom doesnt work (which can happen) then congradulations you're an annomaly get used to it. Nothing is ever going to be fair for everyone, people just have to get used to it.

why dont we install cameras in everyones houses, take over the media to drum the masses with subliminal messages of subservience and essentially pathe the way for a 1984-like regime?

that would keep those terrible parents in line.

Today at work, a couple came in looking at no contract cell phones. Their two ugly bastard spawns were busy knocking shit off of shelves, and being general wastes of space and resources, when the husband (or the guy, what kind of white trash gets married anymore..) asked aloud, "what's 80 plus 60..?" I stood there, moments after answering some phone related questions, simple blown away. His wife (or sister, whatever) turned her head up and responded, "I don't know.." I was terrified. So many thoughts ran through my head.. FUCKING 140! If your brain cannot process such a complex math problem, you should NOT be able to have children, let alone breath my air and fuck up my planet. I quietly responded, "140.. If you need anything else, I'll be over here." Literally depressing to see shit like that.. a couple minutes later, I rung the guy out at my register, where he paid in dirty, small bills. After sending them off, I promptly used some hand sanitizer and went about my day.


I weap for humanity.

Parents should at least:
1.) Have a partner (could be a spouse, parent, hired assistant) to help care for children
2.) Enough money to raise a child (which usually costs around $100 000, I think.)
3.) Have a secure career and future.
4.) Be reasonably healthy, mentally and physically.

Love children will be picked up by the pound and driven to orphanages, where, if they are never adopted, shall work at Disneyland. Every child's dream!

The plan is flawless! FLAWLESS!

Absolutely, unarguably, definitely no.

Opens a dangerous precedent. Like that guy in Louisiana that wanted to give tax breaks to wealthy families for having kids and pay the poor to be sterilized. There would also never be an adequate screening process, and plenty of people have fooled others into thinking they were good parents. Before you know it there'll be quotas for how many black/white children are allowed per neighborhood or how many lower class families will be permitted to have children.

What if free speech if that were also something considered for licensure? I'm amazed anyone would think it'd be okay for others to decide if and how they're entitled to use their own bodies.

I too have seen poor parenting in action, but I hardly think it's right for my ability to procreate to be decided by others because some other dumb-ass couldn't watch their own children properly.

As cynical as I am, I'm still a little stunned by this thread. I've seen people suggesting eugenics programs and PRC-style child bearing restrictions and even several people who basically want to use Brave New World as a guide for society. Yes, it's easy to look at truly bad parents and decide that you should have the authority to dictate to them, but down that way lies madness. This is one of the most despicable government actions that's even possible. Would you really be prepared to allow others to pry this far into your own life? Of course not, because those who suggest those policies never think of themselves as those in need of controlling. It's THEM, THOSE PEOPLE who need to be stopped. Before you suggest clamping down, please imagine yourself as the poor sod having to prove his worth as a parent before some panel.

I suspect that the problem lies with the audience. A lot of the commenters here are teenagers or young adults with somewhat above average intelligence but a questionable grasp on history and science. That's the other thing - forget how disgusting this is for a moment. Evolution does not work like some of you think it works. There is no such thing as a superior genome - every genetic change is a lateral move. If you gain something, you must also lose something. A race of supermen will inevitable suffer from genetic homogeneity, so it's just a matter of time until one good disease wipes them out.

I can understand the sentiment. I've seen some real problem children, and I'm sure there could be many horror stories told. But my first thought is that there was a similar philosophy applied to the concept of voting in the U.S., with rather disastrous results. So disastrous, in fact, that they were made illegal via constitutional amendment. I'm not quite sure the same problems would apply to this case, but perhaps the same questions should be raised nevertheless.

The general idea seems to stem from the general philosophy that a standardized test of some sort is the best way of measuring whatever is at issue, and I would think that most people would know that the main problem is that such tests tend to prove something completely unrelated to the subject at hand. Perhaps testing in some manner isn't really the answer.

Perhaps the real question that needs to be addressed, though, is whether this is an actual solution. After all, one could certainly posit that the general number of foolish parents would not have necessarily risen over the course of hundreds of years, yet, here we are. Maybe the problem is not that the parents themselves are ignorant, but they just don't have the time necessary to raise children, which would really be a problem with contemporary society.

But then, maybe this is something we don't need to worry about. Maybe the horror stories are extremely rare, and we just notice them because they are so horrific. If so, there is still a problem, but one that will never be fixed, and can't really be handled in any suitable fashion.
