While that basic argument is ALWAYS a credible one, it's unrealistic in today's enormously diverse society which includes millions of uneducated and/or poverty-level families. While that's nice to preach to a gathering of a hundred or so, it's hardly effective as a workable tool for millions in untenable situations to abide by. I swear some of you people never climb outside your comfy little boxes and take a good long look at the REAL world.
What does anything you just said have to do with people feeding their children? Or personal responsibility?
Allow me to translate: Preaching about what people SHOULD do represents nothing but all talk and no action. You can drag a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. Expanding on that analogy, if you have 20 horses at one water trough, some of them will still be thirsty. Need I go on?
OK so in order to force people to take responibility for themselves we must first abolish every single welfare program. Beginning with school lunches, now either the parents will step up and take care of their own children or they'll starve. Makes no difference to me.
Your analogy is lame, no horse would go thirsty, either they will drink to satisfy their thirst or they will not drink meaning they were not thirsty in the first place. A horse has a lot more sense than most parents.
