Australian college student takes in his 17 yrs old pregnant homeless cousin

[Evelisse]

He gets a Win for what he's doing and Australia gets a Win for apparently being able to only work 3 days a week and can pay for a new place to live and support himself and a mother and newborn.

Guy took in his homeless, pregnant teenage cousin

 

[Teelie]

That is awesome. Had he been in the U.S. though he'd be totally screwed because he wouldn't be able to take care of himself let alone another person and a newborn baby.

He's a good person to do that and hopefully he'll get some much needed assistance.

 

[Mr.M]

Sorry for the lack of empathy here, but who told the ***** to get pregnant? Was she raped? If that's not the case, then I would have left the girl on the streets. The welfare system is built on the single mother and it eats into the wallets of everyone else (not sure what Australian policy is on subsidies for the poor). Now this girl gets to milk her hard working cousin while caring for this kid and with little education herself if she isn't going back to school. Damn shame.

Oh I get it now... The 'M' stands for 'Misogynist.'

 

[Marvolo]

Good on him. Very selfless. Unlike some people in this thread.

 

[Apollo]

Whata great guy! She seems so thankful for him.

 

[Mr.M]

Sorry. Just because we loved to milk our mothers as toddlers doesn't give women the right to milk us for the rest of our lives. Robin Williams should be the last straw for any sane man.

 

[Evelisse]

is this a female hate thing or just general lack of empathy?

 

[Mr.M]

...wut?

He was milked by his ex-wives for everything he had and had to keep touring to stay afloat. For a comedian that was over the hill, he was never going to get out of the cycle of milking. Not being able to make alimony payments was a big part of his emotional distress.

is this a female hate thing or just general lack of empathy?

The former but I wanted to explain my point to your previous reply. I'm old school. I pay for the first few dates. Go out of my way to help elders, especially older women and their grocery bags. My dad taught me all that. I just don't subscribe to the notion that I got to support a woman 100% for the rest of her life. If she wants the big wedding or big vacation or large house, she has to front a large part of that. That's been my philosophy for a long time. Some guys relish the idea of providing completely for their wife and kids, but I don't believe in that because it wouldn't make me happy.

 

[Victarion]

That's your kid, isn't it?

Mr. M you have some seriously screwed up notions about welfare and women. You are grossly misinformed on both subjects. Maybe you should try and educate yourself before making an even bigger ass out of yourself?

 

[chaseter]

This guy is very kind and deserves applause. His cousin is not smart at all...read the article. I don't pity people who purposely make bad choices. I do pity that poor child and hope it has a bright future.

The US government spends a large fraction of a near trillion dollars subsidizing families of single parent households. No matter how you want to slice and dice it, it's a gigantic burden on the economy.

Remember Mr M's dream thread that he made last week, something along the lines of 'What if all the women on Earth disappeared, and wouldn't that be great?' It was ridiculously sexist and it got quickly locked.

Now, I'm no SJW as people here know, but this guy is legitimately bigoted against the fairer sex it seems.

It was a woman who brought you into this world clown.

Why don't you bother blaming all the corporations on welfare that don't pay a living wage and cost the tax payers an ass ton of money? You seem to be pointing the finger in the wrong area buddy, but I'm sure it's the woman who work menial jobs and use government assistance to help make their lives just a little bit less crappy that is really to blame

My intentions were to promote a discussion on the social implications of a hypothetical scenario. I should have worded it better to have a legitimate discussion, but the title of the thread was too outlandish.

I'm a firm believer that a man is the most vital resource to a woman (besides biological necessities). The same is obviously true the other way around in terms of procreation and human longevity, but the scenario was overcoming that problem via stem cells and artificial fertilization and gestation.

It's still a silly discussion regardless, but I am intensely fascinated in the differences in psychology between the sexes. That's the discussion I aimed to achieve.

I'm going to ask this question and I want to preface this by saying I have schizophrenia so I take meds daily, but have you recently gone off of your meds? You sound insane

Of course. Corporations are responsible by using their stake to consumers and leveraging that toward government entitlements. We can go in a round about discussion about government entitlement and corporate lobby. The two don't exist without the other.

The issue here is that woman cannot have kids until a proper infrastructure is in place to provide for the child. Mistakes happen obviously. Do we need family planning? Communist policies dictating family policy? Those are the pertinent political questions. Kids that can't be supported economically add to the problem; they do not mitigate it.

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

If the question is "Do we need more communist policies?" the answer is a resounding no and again, with all due respect, you sound bats*** insane

The ironic thing is communist countries in the mid 20th century were the most progressive when it came to women's rights and gender equality.

I stumbled onto this video (via IMBD) about gender equality. One of the most fascinating and elegant insights on sexism and gender equality. I urge any of you interested in the subject to watch it and get through the subtitles since the majority of it is not in English. It's what motivated me to promote gender discussions here and elsewhere. Anyhow, we are off topic. I will resort to my sexist ways elsewhere... hello MGTOW .com

Here's the referenced video: (unfortunately the video on youtube has some NSFW content I was unaware of. So I removed the link. Can PM if interested or search "Gender Equality Paradox").

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

Er.... Yeah, okay, dude. Whatever.

 

[Evelisse]

heh, I can't believe that website is a real thing.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

God, Eveliss just wanted to post a heart-warming human interest story and it got completely derailed by craziness...
