People with children should pay more taxes, not get brakes, your child contributes nothing, just takes takes takes, you love em so much, pay for em! lets put a price tag on your love. :twisted:
Ya know I have to say it kills me when I see how much of my taxes go to a school district that I'll never use :fp:
so youre saying you don't want to contribute to an educated society just because you choose to be kid free??? :think:

but having a strong school district helps your community and yourself even if you don't have kids. having a strong school district has a huge impact on home values which in turn will lead to more tax revenue for your area which leads to better services. paying taxes into a good school district in the long run helps you even if you never use that school district. now if you live in an area with a lousy school district...well then maybe you have a point.
Yeah, I don't mind paying taxes into the education system at all. I want the children in my society to get a good education. That benefits us ALL a lot. Plus, we were all kids once, and other people paid taxes so that we could get an education, so it only seems fair that everyone does the same once we're grown ups.

You went to Catholic school?? That explains everything!! :wave:
I could not resist, sorry.
I can see how that would change your viewpoint.
Well hey, at least we don't have to pay for the actual at home costs for the kids, right? :thumbup:
(not to say that I don't appreciate the fulfillment that parents do get from their children)

I went to public school but I got kicked out of religion class for asking questions more times than my form master was comfortable with. I of course was annoyed that my questions went unanswered.

religious class in a public school?
Hmm, thats a difference from here in the states. No religion class in public schools which are taxpayer funded. Vs a religious school which is tuition based.

I went to a public school but I always wanted to go to Religious class, all the kids would come back with little plastic animals ( I'm guessing Noah's Ark related?). I forged a note from Mum to go and they gave me a little religious story book instead. :evil: I took it home, Mum found it and went off her nut and chucked it in the bin.

My mom tried sending me to Sunday school for some reason when I was maybe 5, and the next week when she tried to take me again I threw the biggest tantrum of my life because I hated it so much, and she never sent me back again.

The person who wrote that may or may not change her mind. She is only 23. If she were 33 I'd say sure, she will probably never change her mind on this particular issue (but maybe).
I could have written this article when I was 23. But by the time I was 28 I had changed my mind. (and when I was 35 I changed my mind again... hey, who knows, maybe I'll change it again! Each time I have been very comfortable with my decision... shit just changes profoundly sometimes as life moves along. That is a good thing.). I don't really think anyone can usually really state whether or not they will ever change their minds... I am not quite sure why anyone would ever want to make such an assersion. I would think that it's better to always leave all options wide open even when we feel with complete confidence that we've made our final decision and express that decision. No shame in changing ones mind IMO, and nothing wrong with never changing it either. That said, so what if they do or don't change their mind?? Either way, it is simply them making their own decisions. I really think that people who act as though women or men who choose not to have kids have a big fat nerve acting as though that choice isn't okay for for someone to make. It pisses me off.
