I hate it when single mothers on welfare go out and find another man and get pregnant again. It just bugs the hell out of me. Some have no proper place to live, no car, no savings, no education or even food and clothes for the children they already have and then go and find some other loser and get pregnant again. It just bugs me. I see them all the time walking in the mall spending their welfare cheques getting there hair and nails done. Example (octomom)Why do women do this?
Do you think it's normal?

Unfortunately, the only alternatives are to either let truly needy people starve or live in a police state. You choose.
I'm all for involuntary sterilization under certain circumstances, but this is a slippery slope.
Young girls are basically stupid that why they get pregnant and ruin their lives and we have to pay for it. They should be sterilised
Seeing it is one thing, but realize YOU will be paying for it with YOUR MONEY for the next 40 years or so, depending on your age!
who knows why. It is like saying all men are stupid. Not every woman on welfare does this but society has developed an it is ok attitude and there is no real way of monitoring it. unforunately common sense and maturity are not automatic qualities as a woman get older
sounds like someone i know. she has six kids all diffrent fathers no job. a true leach on the system. i'd get rid of the welfare system and make them get jobs. if they don't let them starve.
Im actualy a welfare Mom myself ,and proud of it. My 5 kids bring me a great deal of joy.
The only problem ia that they are not old enough run down to the shops and buy me my bourbon and cigarettes.
Running a brothel from my trailer has been
a challenge too.....
You should be proud.

Sounds like you support yourself by providing a service that others are willing to pay for.

American entrepreneurship!
You're stereotyping single parent moms on the basis of a few. Are the "leaches" that did subprime better than these few pitiful women?
I'm a welfare mom in a relationship. I have 3 children, yes with 3 different fathers. Before you go judging, i haven't exactly been dealt the best life. My boyfriend who I have been with for 3 years and yes is the father of my 3rd child is now in college. His ex was the type of person that would not let him have a job and after all the crap ass jobs he did have he's decided to make his life better to start a career. I stay home and take care of my kids as he does this. In september two out of my 3 kids are in school all day and then I'll be going back myself. I DID NOT purposely go out and get pregnant 3 times and I haven't always been a welfare mom. It's harsh to judge all moms on welfare like this. Some just have a rough time in life and don't have a choice.
you its funny that you say this...now feel free to replay but please only serious ones...i dont need ur bullsh*t...

well anyway my mom has been on welfare ever since me, im the oldest...im currently doing my own thing now 19 n e who...shes had kids from three different dads three from my dad one from my step dad who shes still married to but separated from...and one from her new guy... any who i myself ask myself wtf is wrong w her doesnt she know that she doesnt have any f**kin money oh n by the way they stopped giving her welfare after the 3rd kid... and she was actually w my step dad for yrs but it just didnt work out...

so i dont know u know...i think ppl just make mistakes and some a little more than others...i just wanna get a really good job soon and take her off welfare so that i dont have to hear everyone b**ching about how its their money... and for those that said let em starve...u have no heart...
people should be limited to having three children max. then they would have to be more careful about who they go with, and they won't be out breeding us. after than, a tying of tubes. reversable, if need be, and also less expensive then pills that have no guarantee that they won't be sold or tossed. less babies, less welfare. They system needs to be revamped too.
They actually had a welfare to work program in Detroit that Michael Moore critisized in his bowling for columbine video. The woman had to get on a bus and work minimum wage every day. The mayor or whatever of the town said it wasnt productive to have them do work to pay back for the resources they were using and him and moore agreed it was a good idea to just have her be with her kids and useless all day.

Problem is everyone can become low income it isnt mandatory to get a job. She willingly accepts to work for minimum wage when she could get a decent paying job at one of the car factories. People might say that she shouldnt have to do dangerous work but we all drive cars so exactly who deserves to need to put their life at risk for your driving pleasures?

If everyone just gets preggers and poor and needy that who will be out there to sustain your lifestyle? If everyone is there collecting checks whos going to go to work to mail the checks out?

Police state vs starving people I would have to go with starving people. A police state takes all your freedoms and you might as well kill yourself if you live in socialism cause your life will never be better just the same dull flat line it will always be. People will eventually get sick of starving and do something about it.
why just pick on the welfare moms btw i dont think octomom was ever on welfare. I hate seeing women have babies for dumb reasons period. dont get me started on young girls tht want to have a baby so they can have somnething to love.

ppl should be responsible period why these women keep haveing babies is beyond me some might have a unnatural attractioin with being pregnant some just want love some want to screw the system. some dont know any better but

if you want to know why just stope them in the mall and ask or better yet work at the nail salon and chat them all up u might even get some just make sure and put on a rubber we dont want another one of you
don't tell me you're jealous...
Don't get me started on this topic! it pisses me off to no end!!
People have choices to use birth control. Congrats to you for helping your mother. At least you learned from her mistakes.
Octomom was on welfare from day 1! Now she's saying that she now regrets it. I wish the government would get rid of the welfare system for at least 1 month without telling anyone, just to see what people would do.
@: futaa2
Jealous? HA! I've dropped many friends because of this scam because they think it's easy money. Do you know how many times I've had lend them money to buy diapers and formula?
I think you are racist
Uhh they should really learn the meaning of the word CONDOM.
OMG!!!!!! I feel totally the same. The government needs to seriously enforce stricter regulations on people living on welfare. There are people who need it, but a majority are lazy, ambitionless, sleazy-scum bags who want to live off my parents hard earned money. It annoys me sooooooo much when people take advantage of the system, and because they know they can they will continue to do so.
It is now known what causes pregnancy and it can easily be prevented. If sex is your way of attracting men then use condoms or birth control, available free at the clinic.
Wrong - the majority are abused women, or are ill or have children who are ill.
I could go into a long rnt, but I'm not going to cause it will only piss people off.
rnt = rant (sorry for the typo)
PLease NOTE: my "u" button doesn't work all of the time so please excuse the mis-spellings.

Alright where shall I begin.

Well for starters, I'm a single mother of a beautiful five yr. old, daughter named Imani. Yes I was defined as the term "young & dumb" and I "slipped up" I guess you can say.
=)
When I was pregnant with her, I was on welfare up until she was two and believe me, even though it was tempting to stay in the "system" until she was seven, I choose not to because of what you're stating now. The only reason I went into the 'system' was because my parents wanted to show me the difference between making my money & depending on the welfare checks and also they weren't supporting me. (harsh bt true.)

I'm very educated, with a proper place to live, a mustang, and a very very nice savings amount so my daughter can get whatever her little heart desires (she's FAR from spoiled lol!) So obliviously, I haven't RUINEd my life as one person so rudely commented in an earlier post.

I understand that you think that all of welfare moms are like this, but you have to understand that majority of welfare moms have no choice. What about the moms who have disabled sons or daughters who can't afford the medical bills even if they have a well paying job? What about the moms who are on welfare because they are sick but have no choice but to take care of her family. That's where welfare jumps in and helps.

I agree 100% that the welfare system needs to tighten up their restrictions just a little. But trust and believe, the people that suddenly get on the right track and get off welfare, will DEFINITELY be paying that money back. How so? because the government taxes the sh*t out of them that's how.
