Seeing as you aren't tied to our Monarchy anymore, I recommend you all take one last vote, and nominate a US Monarch, who can save you several billion dollars a year by scrapping all of the politicians and forcing them to get real jobs, and then making all of the rules themselves like a King of Old.
Because when monarchs had real power they were always the most considered and responsible of people.
Sebster, you are far too bright to start acting like one of the plebeians, please don't make a habit of replying to my obviously jocular remarks with "Because.." or "So what you are saying is..." as I find it insulting. Like you are using the fact I made a joke to insinuate that I never went to school and am utterly unaware of my own country's history. I am well aware that for every good Monarch or benevolent dictator you tend to get three bad ones. Obviously for every Victoria there is a Richard III or Edward II... or every Irishman's favourite Oliver Cromwell.
As I said, generally speaking, on this forum is someone's reply starts with "So what you are saying is... its actually - insert nothing you said" or "Because - its - insert ridiculous comment" you can rest assured that said retort will be about as funny as finding a lump on your testicles.
So don't cheapen your otherwise almost exemplary posting record.

Subject: Idiot Politician (R, MO) talks about "Legitimate rape"
It will only work if the pro-Life side of the debate is, indeed, pro-Life and has as its main interest the preservation of the unborn children. All too many 'pro-Life' advocates are really just 'pro-I-want-women-to-behave-a-certain-way-and-punish-them-if-they-don't' and they won't go for this.
Ever since Roe v. Wade, BILLIONS of dollars has been spent in court and on advertising on the pro-Life side. MILLIONS of man (and woman) hours have been invested in the debate. And to what return? Bubkiss. Nothing. Nada. The country is just as divided on the issue as ever before. NOTHING has been resolved.
So obviously debate and legal action on this subject is a total waste. It is, therefore, irrational to continue wasting resources on the subject.
INSTEAD, how about funding medical research? With that much money behind it, I'm pretty sure a procedure to remove an embryo from a woman - and keep the embryo ALIVE in the doing - can be developed. I'm also pretty sure a method to bring the embryo to term outside a woman's body can also be developed.
Once this happens, the whole abortion issue disappears overnight. All the children can be saved, and women can still have their choice.
As a bonus, things like ectopic pregnancies - which are 100% fatal to the mother if not treated, and currently 100% fatal to the embryo - can be handled without killing the embryo as well!
All the pro-lifers have to do... is give up the joy of screaming 'baby-killer!' in debate and actually DO something positive to remove the need for abortions instead.
CHAOS! PANIC! DISORDER!

I think Schlock Mercenary did as well-- you had to have a license in order to have children after all.

At puberty (determined by pediatrician), lets gave all males a vasectomy (the reversal kind).
Then, when ready to have kids, reverse it and voila! Little critters on demand!
Then, there's not issue with needing abortion.
/snark off
actually... that may have some merits...
*be gentle... I'm sorta drunk now...
This is a pretty good idea.. I was planning on having one so I could choose when I wanted to have kids but still enjoy all the sex I wanted without worry.
I don't really see how there would be much of a downside other than having an operation, though I'm sure there are plenty of things people will find wrong about it and yell "freedom" at it for.

That's funny...
For what its worth ya'll... I had one... not that big of a deal.
Just make sure that you distinctly tell the urologist that you'd want the reversable kind.
I'll certainly remember that.

Except if one has to get a license for kids, then how does one qualify for the said license?

Sorry, I was trying to run with the joking tone of your post to add my own bit. It didn't work, my bad.
“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

Racial puri.... err I mean IQ of course.
Honestly breeding licenses just smack of eugenics.
I beg of you sarge let me lead the charge when the battle lines are drawn
Lemme at least leave a good hoof beat they'll remember loud and long
Figuring out who can breed? That'll be the fun part, won't it?
I favor the same qualifications it takes to adopt... but then, I think there are WAAAAYYYY too many people in the world and we need to trim down the numbers substantially.
Removing warning labels is a good start, in my opinon. If you're not smart enough to figure out shampoo is not to be used internally (for example), you don't need to be polluting the gene pool with your genes.

Adoption within the US right? Adoption from outside the US is a whole new ball game.

Removing warning labels is incredibly stupid Idea how many substances do you own that you know are toxic, acidic, bio-hazardous, carcinogenic, explosive, flammable, etc without looking at the label.

And not a one of them is in food, drink, or medicine. Shampoo, soap, and industrial solvents (among other things) are not among those, and thus are not consumed as such by a person of any intelligence. If you're not smart enough to figure out the difference between 'edible' and 'inedible' on your own, do we really need you to breed?

Of course we could just stop pretending that the warning labels are there for the consumers. They are only there to stop random idiots from deciding to take a drink just so that they can sue companies for not telling them that they shouldn't drink that.
Same reason why the same grill that turns my steak from red to brown has to have a warning telling me that it is hot.
