    I wish people had to have licenses before having kids. Like a drivers license. You need one before you can operate a machine that can potentially kill someone, maybe we need one for an act that can potentially do the same and worse.

    Bah. If only.

    I hope everyone realizes the amazingly intrusive methods that this would require. People flip shit at the US still having a draft registry. Imagine if you were forced into state mandated birth control methods with periodic checks with a criminal penalty.

    "I'm a smart person and am tired of dealing with stupid people. Let's enact horrific breeding controls tied to state mandated testing means!"

    No! NO! If you think that you might as well admit that you've given up on understanding compassion as a concept.

    I don't think anyone here actually wishes for that scenario.

    It was a joke about people being terrible parents.

    It comes up a lot. A LOT. The idea of licensing children. It's horrible. The very idea, even as a joke, is horrible, because many people hold to that being a valid idea. Maybe have a standard birth and parenting course that you can attend for free that allows you a very minor tax incentive for the first two fiscal years after birth if you complete the course. No check-ins, just take the parenting course, complete it, get your very minor additional tax deduction.

    No licensing of the ability of human reproduction. That idea is fucking bananas.

    I'm getting old. Having kids isn't a joke area for me anymore. It's me. I'm the old fogey.

    I mean, really, if we want less stupid people in the world we should just focus on improving education and improving access to education.

    And really, I mean, we are smarter now than we have ever really been historically. But, we still have tons to work on, of course.

    I hope you realize that you are arguing about the practical implementation of something that is clearly a wish in a thread entitled "Pffft..I wish.."

    I don't think anyone but you actually thought that was a serious concept. Of course it'd be fraught - with complexities far past the practical - to the point of just being impossible.

    On another note, if I ever find out who you are (you know who you are <3 ), I am going to kiss you furiously.

    Oh, well in that case it was me

    I'm the person that uh

    did the thing

    I'm pretty cool like that

    Or something?

    I actually have a son who is amazing and has a great life with his mom and step-dad and step-siblings, and I've been a step-dad, so I'm a bit touchy on the topic. Sorry for over-reacting. I just don't want anyone thinking that licensing births is a good idea. Sorry.

    In my future government people will be tested for qualities, intelligence, and of course DNA compatibility. Chips will be installed into their genitalia along with bar codes and scanners. In the case of an unacceptable match, the proper hormones will be release to keep the female from becoming pregnant. Their will also be a punishment involved; a sensation similar to blue balls/tubes for two weeks.

    Caring for an enchilada is easy.

    Put it in your mouth and bite down.
    I am hoping you seriously confused an enchilada for a chinchilla so my post temporarily mortifies you.

    The extra foil wrapping makes sure that the the enchiladas are heated to a proper temp on re-entry.

    If the crowd funding goes through, we'll also attach some tapatio sauce to these tungsten rods and send them down
