Dear Paul,

«What is better, plant the seed and water it, watch it grow into a healthy tree»

A baobab tree!

"Now there were some terrible seeds on the planet that was the home of the little prince; and these were the seeds of the baobab. The soil of that planet was infested with them. A baobab is something you will never, never be able to get rid of if you attend to it too late. It spreads over the entire planet. It bores clear through it with its roots. And if the planet is too small, and the baobabs are too many, they split it in pieces . . . "

Hi Yuyutsu,

Don't take me serious about old folk, there is a certain (older) element on this forum who are anti young people. I defend the young, as I find them not the bad, miserable, ignorant, unintelligent lot these old wowsers make them out to be. I have confidence in tomorrows generation.

Dear Paul,

It is the responsibility of young and old the like, to stop this uncontrolled infestation of humans on this planet, which inevitably thwarts both the environment, including the other species, and the freedom of humans themselves.

While the young should refrain from procreation, the old should stop expecting and pressuring them to give them grandchildren and grand-grandchildren. One thing for sure, nobody should receive prizes and financial incentives for their irresponsibility.

If any of them, parents, grandparents, uncles, whatever, are found to encourage having children, overtly or covertly, then they should foot the bills for their health and education to the last cent they've got.

I think one of the very very tactics left to us is to educate the Left to the point where they can see their own stupidity & fake righteousness.
To achieve that we need to rid our education system of the Leftist hierarchy & put people with some of the little common sense still found on the Right in those positions.
Youth crime is directly attributable to Leftist ideology which is heavily represented in the Justice system yet no attention is ever drawn to that.
I'm aware that stupidity is not indictable but rewarding it is simply going way too far ! Corporal punishment should be applied if compensation isn't offered to victims.
Do-gooders keep saying that jail isn't the answer. Show me one jail in Australia that has conditions below those experienced by many old age pensioners ? Jails have gyms, computers, kitchen, good food et etc. All the things that people who have worked all their lives can't afford.
Childcare should be in the home & family assistance rather than working mothers is the answer !

Paul1405,
You're going to upset your Public Service Union by so freely displaying to us how they shaped your & other members mentality ! Brainwashing does work with minds like that !
