Re: Take Responsibility!

You gave well-thought responses to my messages, and I appreciate and respect that. Where I am coming from is not a sense of justice or deservedness for indivual people, or for all of humanity. My point of view is to cover your own ass, and take care of yourselves, because, as I wrote before, no one gives a shit about anyone else.

For women, get some valuable education/training and real-world, marketable work experience before starting a family. Just as important, don't get married to irresponsible men. I know it's easier said than done, but having higher standards can prevent a whole lot of misery down the road. Waiting a few more years before marriage/pregnancy can go a long way toward weeding out undesirables. If you end up alone, then so be it! It's better than being stuck as a single mother with no money.

Regardless of your country's fiscal irresponsibility (it happens everywhere), a sense of indignity will not help. No one will ever get paid a respectable salary for having and raising kids, and that's a fact. Just get tough, and then try to pass some sensible ideas onto the younger people in your sphere.
