he lives in Canada. You'd think with national health care they would take care of his mental illness.

The man obviously does not want help.



Not everything is covered by provincial health care. Murphy's been given hell of a lot more opportunity and resources than most people in similar situations.

Not to mention there is no magic pill to solve mental health problems.

Yeah he has brain issue, and doesn?t want help unlike the working poor everywhere. My sister helped a friend at a place that helps people last night here in Michigan and she said just about every one of the people who came in were people who had Jobs but could not afford a place to stay. She checked in a family of 4 a man and women with a 7 year old and a baby who just looked disheartened and totally exhausted trying to make it day to day.
It is a shame this happens to people anywhere.

I always find it odd...why do people have kids when they can't even afford to take care of themselves?

You have know idea why or what happened to those people to put them in that spot. What you just posted is a terrible thing to say.

I'm not talking about those people specifically, but people in general who can't afford to take care of themselves and choose to have kids. It's stupid and irresponsible.

No.

Not many people who can?t afford to have kids are doing so in my opinion. Maybe we should not be cutting planned parenthood services that teach school age kids about birth control then? Any and or all education when they are young is needed.

Yeah I know you were not talking about The family last night who were the working poor. They had jobs but no place to stay. So who knows what happened. You can?t give your kids back to god because you lost all your money. All the cuts that this country does is to Social services is just shameful when you compare to to military spending. Stop being so heartless.
Geez.

 

[tomdalton22]

No.

so you think it's smart and responsible?

 

[Mitchrapp]

so you think it's smart and responsible?

Hard to regulate. Not everyone uses protection as a married couple. That's a different subject I won't get into but if we're being honest some poor couples with children they have a better life then some children with rich parents.

And 'can't afford' is open ended meaning..
