Racine County Sheriff's Department
Corey Curtis, 44, was sentenced to three years of probation on Monday with the condition that he is not to procreate until he
can support the nine children he fathered with six women.
A Wisconsin judge has ordered a man who owes $90,000 in child support after fathering nine children with six women to not have any more kids, at least for now.
Racine County Circuit Court Judge Tim Boyle sentenced Corey Curtis, 44, to three years of probation on Monday with the condition he is not to procreate until he shows he can support his children, according to court documents.
Curtis pleaded no contest in October to one count each of felony bail jumping and failure to pay child support.
Assistant District Attorney Rebecca Sommers said Curtis owes about $50,000 in back child support, plus another $40,000 in interest to the mothers, the Journal Times reported.
“Common sense dictates you shouldn’t have kids you can’t afford,” Racine County Circuit Court Judge Time Boyle said at a hearing, according to the Journal Times. “It’s too bad the court doesn’t have the authority to sterilize.”
In his decision, the judge cited a 2001 case in which Wisconsin Supreme Court justices upheld a Court of Appeals ruling that a judge may, as a condition of a person’s probation, order the defendant not to have another child unless he can show financial viability.
Curtis told local station WDJT-TV he planned to comply with the unusual order in his case.
"Judges, they make rulings," Curtis said. "They make them kind of hastily. So, if that's what he feels one of my conditions should be then I'm going to abide by it."
This isn't the first time a judge has made a ruling intended to block breeding.
A Kentucky judge in March ordered a man who had fathered a dozen children by 11 women to refrain from having “any sexual intercourse” for the one-to five-year period he’s on parole.
A Texas judge in 2008 sentenced a 20-year-old mother to 10 years probation for not protecting her 19-month-old daughter from abuse by the child's father. The judge ordered her to not get pregnant during her probation.

Mandatory sterilization seems in order.
Why would you have sex with a man that can't pay for his children? Don't tell me these women don't know who he is or how to check his credit report or some kind of back ground check? A call to the local police should tell you if he has a warrant for his arrest or not. $40k in interest to the women? I think he's paid enough interest in women; he may want to change to men? It seems to be working for my little brother, he has 4 he can't afford but 1 that pays him!
This is why free birth control is a good idea.... If these women can't afford these children it falls on us the taxpayers, and it will cost way more than a few pills every month.
Little Johnny, and this is where welfare babies come from.
So true mathuin. Does ANYONE not think that sterilization is a good idea for people like this?
Great ruling but unfortunately hard to enforce. Of course there were two people making those babies and the women have a responsibility too. However a woman can only have one baby every 9 months, while a man can father as many as he wants in the same period of time.
They tried forced sterilization once and it didn't work out. Not a good idea.
9 kids 6 baby mama's - sounds about right. This guy could just have a really bad sex addiction.
Give him a choice... Either Cymbalta or jail. Either way, he won't be fathering children.
But.....but...um...ah....judge, when He gets to that place He feels like He can care for the whole damn state.
Do you really think the women that were crawling into bed with him were putting that much thought into it?
None of them probably knows how babies are made. They should ax someone.
Nine Kids, Six Stupid Women. Honestly.
Cheap idiot can afford a box of rubbers?
It's not because he's cheap -- using protection interferes with his pleasure.
Why does he care if the girl gets pregnant? He's not taking care of it, not paying for it. That's what the government's for. The girls don't care either. Having a baby means more money from the government, unearned income tax "refunds", welfare, housing, food stamps.
Free birth control means nothing if people aren't willing to use it. Face it, men don't like condoms, women don't like pumping chemicals into their bodies, and having illegitimate babies carries no stigma anymore. So why bother with the inconvenience of birth control?
What kind of moral women (NOT) allow this man to keep up his careless actions - a sad commentary for this race (70% illegitimacy) - where are Revs Al and Jessie to teach morality from the pulpits?
Parkwayne,
"A sad commentary for this race?" what a racist you are. Time to make an example of a dead beat dad. I say we start with that congressman, Joe Walsh. Or is he too "white" for you to make an example of? Just sayin'
according to CDC, Non-marital birth rates by race: White 32.9 per 1,000, Black 65.3 per 1,000, Hispanic 80.6 per 1,000
Today I found a Real Bleeding Tree!!!!!
It was a sign!!!!
To clean this earth of the viruses that walk upon it.
It's the responsibility of the woman not to make stupid decisions based on the FACT that they will be left with the responsibility if they choose to leave him or vice versa.
The true crime in all of this is the fact that WESTERN SOCIETY has stolen land that individuals can not work in order to have SHELTER, FOOD, HEAT ETC....
You all have the wrong perception about life and what it is all about!!!!!
Work the land and don't be a slave to the wrong direction that this planet is going in.
DESTRUCTION DESTRUCTION DESTRUCTION is what is occurring to our environment and to the minds of every individual on this planet!!!!
Go buy your tainted foods from the grocery stores that are getting you sick.
No, you all need to go work in the fields and feed yourselves.
Go cut wood to get heat!!!!
Use the wood for shelter!!!!!
Stop succumbing to the viruses on this planet that has infected the thought process of sooo. many!!!!!
If you don't it will eventually lead to all of our demise.
For thousands of years children would assist in helping the family support themselves....
Then all of a sudden when slavery became the way of the world, fathers started to get locked up by those who shouldn't even be ruling them.
And like a virus the disease began spreading across the globe.
Now the majority of folks think that money is the way of the world when it is actually the way to destroy it.
Give us our land back so that we and our children can live off of it.
Stop wasting land in order to build things that you all are going to leave deserted after you get tired of it.
There are so many homes that are empty and so many displaced animals that it is sickening.
Stop allowing instant gratification into your lives and do things right, step by step.
We can have technology but it has it's place!!!!
My people take your lives back and understand why you are here.
We all are the cells within a larger body that have been invaded by a virus like thought
process.
The virus wants you to believe that you need money to live from in order to survive.
Debunk those thoughts and lets take care of the place that we all live on.
Peel Layer....
Yes, the cycle of poverty/lack of education has a huge affect on how people live their lives and on the decisions they make.
I suppose if I placed the blame on the women, I'd be up a creek with anyone here.
Maybe I don't blame so much the first mother of the first child(ren), but the second one should have been alert. Once you're the 3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th mother of his child(ren), then you're just stupid.
go to jail if you have children and you owe the children.
That is the Dumbest SH#% that I've ever heard.
How about this....
If you get locked up for it....
retaliate...
Who are they to tell you what to do with your life.
Your life, your responsibility...
I hope that most people will make the right decisions.
But reproduction is your right and don''t let anyone tell you different.
Sterilize me and watch what I do to you.
You have a choice in this life even with a gun to your head and you have the ability to fight back against dumb thought processes of those who destroy the world.
Put a gun to all of the our heads and we still will say no.
Annie: all the man has to do is keep it zipped (or use a condom) and no woman will get pregnant. Case closed.
Maxwell -- it's a 2 way street. It's the woman who gets pregnant, not the man. The subsequent mothers were stupid.
He's not cheap. Like a lot of men he doesn't like or want to use them and doesn't think he'll catch anything from a skank that won't make him wear one.
Most of the black, male machismo is based on the ability to impregnate.
Peel-Layer - ..... And you're point is?
At least WI is trying to tackle the "Welfare" problem!
As Groucho so famously said: I like my cigar too. But, ....
sterilization? I assume you're referring to the plurality of women that have (or will have) sex and children by this man? After all, if you want to solve this kind of problem, go to the source, right? If those women don't have children with him, they'll likely have it with someone else like him. And there's no shortage of people like him! Geez, it's times like this I really wonder if government should require it's citizens to be properly trained and licensed before conception! Ah well, technology isn't up for that challenge yet, and neither are people. Everyone wants every professional they hire to be properly licensed, but nobody wants to demonstrate such ethics and professionalism for themselves. Is it wrong to think that teachers should be professionals, but not parents?
Peel-layer,were you born an idiot or did you have to work on it?
Did this loser really need a judges order to realize he shouldn't be running around impregnating women? It's illegal to enforce so he's not going to comply, he's a like wild animal and so are the women who sleep with him.
This is AMERICA...take a good look... this is the base that votes. All the smart ones bailed already with their money, education and sensability
areas with the most poverty can be directly related to uncontrolled and irresponsible breeding. seems harsh but it is a fact of numbers.
areas that are plagued with disease, famine, poverty, all can be associated. look at Africa, India, you know, those places that are stricken with AIDS and other epidemics. We have plenty of it here in our own country, shown by this article. it will continue to get worse unless something is done.
people like this guy will continue with their disgusting lifestyle, because he doesn't care, it is not his problem right ?
but then there are those who turn their heads because they disagree, well, that is not going to fix anything.
.....but I take it out once in a while. ----Groucho Marx
Annie I agree that the women are just as much to blame - it takes two to tango. Unfortunately, no matter where the blame lies, the damage lies with an innocent party - the poor kid/s born out of this mess. Ironic times we live in - I am 34, married, employed, with savings, and a house. I have been trying to get pregnant - unsuccessfully - for 4 years now. Guess we should've just made irresponsible mating decisions when we were younger. No good deed goes unpunished, eh?
Very contemporary America. The only surprise is that this story isn't completed with a 'Baby-Mama' living off welfare. Since 2010, over 40% of families don't have a father living at home. I'm guessing it'll take 60% for us to realize that 'something's wrong'. For the record, if the judge would've put the deadbeat in jail... that would've slowed down the procreation (and allowed some time for introspection). A nation of idiots.
"where are Revs Al and Jessie to teach morality from the pulpits?"
They're too busy calling out the immorality of the GOP for daring to suggest abstinence.
So is his parole officer going to go to his house for a sperm sample? I'm here to checked to see if your sperm level is low.
This is why, as a grandmother, it is ok with me to give out birth control at schools freely.
I once had a conversation with one of these 'women' who boasted that she would sleep with men for the very purpose of becoming pregnant and trying to leach off the child support. In this case, the woman was black too, but I have learned since then that this is a very prevalent thing amongst black women, and black men fall for it quite easily.
My father had 9 children also, but the difference is that they were all by the same wife, and he supported them. That was back in the old days when it was still possible to support such a large family. We didn't exactly live in luxury, but we got by all right. I really think it would be pretty much impossible these days unless you are very rich, which this man obviously was not.
Gee, I guess this guy and his litter are part of the great 47% that the the left wants to give more handouts to with my hard earned tax dollars. Well, I suppose as long as they can get them to vote how they're told to every four years it must be worth it, huh?
except is most cases.....just like with this deadbeat dad....these baby mamma's and their kids end up with nothing BUT welfare.....stupid women never learn!!!
This would be a great policy for both men who dont pay child support, and single moms who collect welfare. I'd take it a step further and force sterilize the men who dont pay, and the single moms who collect welfare. We'll pay for one child each, you are not using your vagina to cost us more money, then we certainly can be in your business.
Must have been a Republican judge! These are Obama voters plain and simple. All you ignorant whites who voted for Obama, hope your happy.
"Lack of education" leads to this...my A$$!!! All have been given the potential oppurtunities afforded a public education...didn't use it, doesn't care!!!
@j70141 in Colorado. I'm a black woman, divorced, mother of 1, late 30's, and have a professional and quite high paying job! No offense to anyone, but as a software developer, I've weathered the recessionary storm of the last few years with promotions and advancements. My daughter was born when I was 27. My friends and my family are quite similar. My sister is a director at JP Morgan Chase, my brother is a principal of a high school, his black wife is a partner in a midwifery company and also a part time university professor. My mom is a retired nurse, my father is a political activist and worked all his life at General Motors. I have never in my life had friends that want to get pregnant for a pittance of a welfare check. What type of company are you keeping? The next time you want to make a sweeping statement about black women, please talk to more like myself. Hopefully, you will realize that the 10,20,50, or even 1000 that you talked to does not represent all of us. Do you realize, that the media does a great job of acting like we are all like this? Dear, your prejudice is glaringly obvious!
You all fight hate with more hate. Two wrongs dont make a right.Really Sad. And to Peel-layer who is soooooo righteous, You are the leader of this. U talk of native american justice, when native americans murdered and massecred each other for thousandss of years before civilization arrived here in America. For crying out loud, you couldnt become a man if u didnt kill another person in tribal culture. SO sit on that and spin Mr righteous PEEL LAYR
@ jules78: There are already too many human beings on this planet as it is. Morons like this sperm donor have more than made up for the ones who have no biological children of their own. If you really want to be a parent so badly, do the right & logical and compassionate thing - ADOPT one that's been born already and needs a home. It's good karma, and avoids contributing to the massive overpopulation of this crowded planet.
You're so right! Look how well abstinence worked for Bristol Palin!
And another question...are people here suggesting we sterilize everyone having out of wedlock children or only black women---you know, the people you think are just disposable.
It is what truely seperates us from the other animals in the animal kingdom. Humans take care of their children. This guy is a slimeball, and the women are lowlife for using their offspring as a lever for welfare cash. The children will likely share the sae set of values. This sort of disregard for personal responsibility is not unique to one race or creed, and it is a tax on everybody else. I had the 2 planned children that my wife and I could afford.
Message to right wing republicans...........the most socialist left wing countries in the world do not have an out of control birth rate with irresponible parents because they provide sex education and free access to birth control....so this is not an Obama problem you idiots. The problem is with you tea partiers thinking abstinence will work.....never has, never will.
If you think we spend a lot of money on welfare....well how much do you think we spend on computerized prosthetic limbs for our young men and women we send to other countries to get blown up....so our defense contractors can get rich and how much money are we spending on veteran's pensions....there's a back log for God's sake.....you right wingers are so f$%king brain washed with your welfare crap. Yeah this guy is totally wrong to have nine kids, but if we spent the money on education and free birth control like Sweden does (no birth rate problem there) instead of the war machine.....we wouldn't have this problem. Quit letting the 2% richest right wing corporate elite brainwash your hillbilly minds. Do some critical thinking, idiots.
Although it is not made clear in the article, one would assume that at least some of the mothers and their children are receiving welfare benefits. We need a sharp reform of the welfare system now. The GOP is busy trying to turn Social Security over to Wall Street and investment bankers and make Medicare a voucher system so they can puff up their standing with the insurance industry lobby, calling them "Entitlement Programs", although every working American is forced to pay into them, yet they ignore the true entitlement programs where we really need reform.
Welfare was meant to be a hand-up for those unfortunate enough to fall onto hard economic times. It was never meant to be a generational hand-out to which a certain segment of our society has become addicted. There should be a twelve month limit on benefits out of every ten years. The current per-person food stamp amount should be for a maximum of four people regardless of how many babies get added into the mix (figure one mom, one dad and two kids, which is the national average).
The food stamp side of the program needs to be expanded to include certain necessities; soap, toothpaste, deodorant, toilet paper, dish soap, diapers and feminine hygiene products, even vouchers for fuel for a vehicle so they can look for work (as examples). The cash assistance portion needs to be stopped. If a person is provided with a place to live (public housing) with utilities paid, food, medical care, dental care, prescription drug coverage and the basic necessities for a year, they sure as hell should have time to get a job and begin to fend for themselves.
I have absolutely no problem helping people in need ... as long as they are willing to try to help themselves. When, however, you reach down to help people up, time after time, and rather than allowing themselves to be raised up they try to pull you down with them, it's pretty hard to take.
After working for over 45 years and seeing more and more of my pay go to people who take no responsibility for their own lives, I have to say, I have had enough. If those who consider welfare a career were booted the hell off of it there would be plenty of help to offer to those who need it for a short period of time so they can get their lives back on track after suddenly losing their job or falling on hard times.
How in the hell can this guy look at himself in the mirror every morning and not hang his head in shame? How in the hell can any self-respecting woman choose to be with someone who is little more than an rutting animal? Why in the hell are the working people of this nation being saddled with paying for their irresponsibility?
If we want to shave money out of the budget to help get our country out of the mess brought about by two unfunded wars, deceitful banking practices and corporate-political greed, the public welfare system is a great place to start.
Free birth control doesn't work if the women don't use it. Solution: Mandatory Depo shot BEFORE any assistance given. No shot, no welfare of any kind. If you don't want the govt telling you what to do, no problem. Don't get on welfare. Cap any kind of assistance at a level for 2 children. If a woman is on welfare, she is already proven to be unable to take care of the children she has and, therefore, does not need to have any more.
For the guys, failure to pay child support should be a crime per se because it is child abuse/neglect/endangerment. The more women with whom a man fathers a child, the more jail time. Next, the guys should not be lounging in jail with a/c and TV. 12 hour work days, 6 days a week digging ditches, cleaning up highway trash, etc. They obviously have had too much free time. All money "earned" should first go to paying their housing and food while in jail with the rest going into a state child support pool to be paid out accordingly. Finally, an "incentive" of maybe $2,500 would be paid to each guy who elects sterilization (and the same could go for the women). That would by far be cheaper than paying all the social costs associated with bringing another baby into this world who will no doubt be unwanted, neglected, abused, and unfortunately, many times killed.
Preventing conception is the optimum. I can think of nothing more horrible, devastating, and murderous to the soul than to be a child who goes through life knowing he is unloved, unwanted and doesn't matter to anyone.
There is no doubt that these types of people have no social responsibility, nor do they care to. They will not stop having sex. The only possible solution is to somehow keep them from bringing more children into the world who, from the moment of conception have no chance, and will only be born into a hopeless hell on earth which continues from generation to generation.
You are right and another fact people are forgetting here is that more white people are on welfare than black people. I learned that in my college social justice class from a book written by a guy with his ph.D. It's a statistical fact so people need to educate themselves before letting all their racist comments fly out their mouths.
That was a response to Missy.
Todd Grezel I Not every American Indian People's (tribes) are the same. There are many Nations within our borders. Take mine we don't follow the same traditions as the Apache. We follow our own. Oh and before Pre Colombian times. There where far advanced CIVILIZATIONS. Plural.
As for the murdering and mascaraing part. All mankind on every continent did this throughout MANS history. So much for the not fighting HATE with more HATE part. Truth be told most modern Nations are not to Civil are they? Look at the world news. Even our Nation the USA has a hand in killing for its interests.
Now back on topic. The guy is screwed unless he wins the lottery. Nah even then he is still screwed. Because his payments will go up. Fathering children to more than one women is a sure way to end up broke.
Here is a case were SNIP SNIP is in order..... This has nothing to do with race age or sex..... It has to do with the fact if you cannot take care of the children you bring into the world then do not bring them.....
Someone should follow this guy around and give all the women he meets a bottle of aspirin.
@KeepItRealPlease: Amen. I'm a Caucasian woman, and I've worked my whole life. I'm divorced with 2 children. I reared them alone. Their father abandoned them and did NOT support them either. They have grown up to be pillars of their communities. Our entire, extended family is fairly well educated and employed. We've had our ups and downs (who hasn't?), but by-in-large, we continue to improve our circumstances.
The kids' father, last I heard, was on his sixth wife. (I was #2.) I'm not sure that the other women were/are aware of his background. I really don't care. He is not my responsibility. I took my responsibility as a mother and provider seriously, and it burns me every time I hear of the stereotyping spiel from ignorant bystanders. 'Single mothers just have kids to get more welfare.' 'Single mothers can't provide a good home for children, they need a MAN in the house.' Etc. Yeah, right.
The women in this article may or may not have known that this serial impregnator had multiple children. I don't know. I do know that he is not alone in his escapades. He is not in the top ten of problem impregnators. Many, many, many males think that they are so "special" that they can have as many offspring that they can create, without any consideration for paying for or rearing them. I, personally, think they should be put on chain gang and made to work for the support of their children. It would be more effective than putting them out on a street corner with a shaming, "I'm a deadbeat dad" sign.
Racial divide has very little to do with this issue. Culture does. In one of my granddaughter's high school classes, she is the only girl who is NOT pregnant. We live in a backwater place in Ohio, Caucasian is the majority population. Our culture has gotten away from planning for a constructive future. It leans more now toward instant gratification on any issue, this includes drugs and sex. Thus, we have several problems.
The solutions to all these problems will not be easy. However, we all must work at creating a mindset that looks toward a constructive, somewhat "planned" future, and which we can live with and support. All of us need to pull together on this. Color, ethnicity, culture shouldn't be dividing lines, they should be supportive foundations for future constructions. We need to teach our sons and daughters this to educate them as to why it will be better for them (and their future children) in the long run.
Welfare has grown 63% since 2000. The defense budget has not risen that much. The street gangs are well stocked with the breeding program called welfare. Children from 2 parent homes do much better than welfare kids. Welfare enables. There is a lot more poverty now than prior to 1965 when lyndon Johnson started welfare. Nice of Johnson to empty the Social Security fund in 1967 to pay for his welfare. How's that transfer fund working?
What do you think the 47% does in their spare time while collecting unemployment and having no job? They fornicate!
The more children they have the more money the government gives them !!!
To MIssy - the other countries do not pay irresponsible parents MORE money to have MORE children!
To Confussed - background checks and police reports cost money! Do you think they had the money for a credit report or background check? Condoms are cheaper? We now know why you are confused!
To GLDM - agree! your stats show why the Democratic party will have an overwhelming population by the next presidential election! It will be a toss up between the black or Latino candidate! The brown population is also growing at a staggering rate. Denmark is already limiting immigration for this segment.
All of the participants were Obama supporters. Curtis is like the energizer bunny ... he just keeps boning and boning and boning, because Obama will keep on paying and paying and paying for as many kids as Curtis and the other 47% can make.
Someone needs to introduce this boy to Rosy Palm and her five daughters. I have a spare sock with baby powder get to him started.
@MireVo3 - Well said.
@geo - I wish your parents would have used birth control to prevent YOU!
@KeepItRealPlease - Excellent post! It seems some on this vine have found this to be a way to vent about their racism behind a thin veil of righteous indignation.
@Missy - You hit the nail on the head!
@Zapper - Wonderful! Good for you!
So many (mostly the right wing) complain that this forum and MSNBC is a 'liberals-only' zone. This article is highly inflammatory and plays to the prejudices some have against persons of color. The article could very well have been written without posting the guy's photo, but it wouldn't have created enough sensationalism nor coaxed people into screaming their racist views. What a shame ... and we wonder why we are a nation divided.
he impregnated the stenographer on the way out.
While I am in no way trying to show support for the mother's of the children, people are assuming that they knew he had fathered other children. I doubt very much that it came up in conversation as he was trying to get them in bed. "By the way, I've fathered 5 children out of wedlock with 5 different women. Hope that's okay with you."
Keepitrealplease, Sadly, the media has no shortage of pathetic black examples to base their portrayal on. A quick look at the US prison population shows that you (and your driven and educated family) are in the minority. It's difficult (but certainly not impossible) to avoid an overall dismissal of black contributions. Sadly, this challenge is only further exacerbated by the black tendency to throw the 'race/victim card'. When the black man learns to develop the same indomitable spirit as the Jew (who sadly remains the most hated race for over 3500 years) rather than whine about their past... they'll develop your resolve. For the record, I'm not a Jew.
I may be a liberal but there is a LIMIT. The bastard producer gets an ultimatum - get a vasectomy OR GO TO JAIL. Do not pass go, do not collect ANY $$. NINE IS MORE THAN ENOUGH WHEN YOU CANNOT SUPPORT ONE. His CHOICE - BTW - speaking of CHOICE...anybody doubt the VALUE of access to abortions NOW? Just how MUCH will those bastards COST?
to jon - depends on the country - SOME countries DO pay more to produce more kids - I think the Japanese are paying - their population is in decline
Well protection is out of the question I guess. There are 7 people to blame here, 6 women and 1 man. I am sure those women are all on some sort of government support and there continues to be rewards for having children out of wedlock and no ability to support them. Sterlize this man as soon as possible and require parents to do something to earn their government kickback not just birth more children they can't afford.
V and Missy, are you counting percentage? Don't spout more white people on welfare than blacks when whites outnumber blacks 5 to 1. I think a more important stat overlooked is how long are you on assistance. Everyone needs a hand up, but when you throw WIC and checks at people, and all you have to do is stand in line, it just becomes your source of income. And Missy, you call people brainwashed, and you think sex ed and education stops this problem....hee-hee...next stop, Hallejulah Mountains because you aint livin on earth baby!
Larry, in OK there are probably just about as many caucasion males, as there are black. I think the judge should've just gone ahead and ordered him neutered, and not next year but the very next day. If these women, by chance, didn't know each other I could see how he could spread his sperm amongst them all, and yeah they're just as guilty for letting him in.
I'm all for NO WELFARE after the first illegit child, and the father of that child should be ordered to pay child support in addition to the welfare.
The 1st comment by D. Appel was the the only post on here worth the read.
@AnanaBanana - The RACIST:
You are the most despicable vilest definition of a human being. You are so fast to “condemn” a person because he or she traits a black slang. What’s wrong you don’t hear blacks saying “can I axe you a question”? YOU are the problem you bomb throwing racist nut! Nice pic of Mitt.. Funny since you HATE White Males so much why isn’t your avatar something else that you can revel in your hate?
You’re nothing but a RACIST Hate Filled Human being!
I’m here you any day of the week to “School” you on proper non-politically correct terms.

Court ordered vasectomy seems to be in order here, although ethically wrong, would allow him to shoot blanks for the rest of his life and still please the women that are fool enough to do it with him. The chances of this man(?) ever wanting to become a serious and responsible parent are somewhere between nil and non-existent, so maybe it's really not all that unethical.
This is the typical Bozobama hope-and-change voter; no responsibility, won't pay for his debts or obligations, looking for Bozobama-money tokeep on. This is what folks voted for; good luck with changing ANYTHING about crap like this while we have BHO in office!
No. We need to look at the big picture here, and this microcosm can help us understand the impact to the whole.
Welfare. Social Security. Both are broken. Taking from the responsible and giving to the irresponsible is simply rewarding bad behavior and adding burden to those who are ambitious and follow the rules. Here's an idea, supported by self-reliance and ambition: INDIVIDUALIZE the Social Security system such that each person is responsible for his / her own SS account. People will study hard and work hard, and they will use the funds from their own SS account when they retire. IF they fall on hard times, they can then draw on their SS account (a form of self-welfare), and then they can replenish the account when they get back on their feet.
The same goes for immigration participants. Immigrants (legal, of course) will be given a CREDIT on their own SS account to the tune of $10,000 (pick a number) if they need help getting started in the USA (a form of their own welfare). They will eventually pay back this account and build a surplus for their own retirements.
It's a credit / debit system that functions both to support retirement (like Social Security), and help in hard times (like Welfare). It will encourage people to be self-reliant, independent, and ambitious. It will also not penalize people who stay out of trouble.
What about the unfortunate children that are brought into the world by parents who can not care for them? This is what orphan homes are for. You will get your kids back when you can be a responsible adult and pay for their food. YOU can choose sterilization if you want to.
Remove all of the other legislation. Get these cases out of the courts. WE are paying for the heavy burden of all of these laws and legal staff that are employed by such. Big government makes us poor.
Does anyone else agree?
Please respond, but keep it clean. This is serious, and meant for improving life as we know it.
But the 2nd post from D. Appel has me wondering if the two post were written by the same person. Maybe he/she simply had a moment of clarity when the 1st post was written.
@Missy - when referring to "the most socialist left wing countries in the world", you were refering to China and North Korea correct? You know, the ones that have a two child policy and a history of aborting or murdering the female babies... You need to either get out more, get educated, or move to one of those socialist countries.
Jules,
Best of luck to you!
@D.Appel;
You can thank Hillary's "War On Poverty" for our Welfare Reform as it is now. Ever since that day, I've hated her since.
I'd go back to college if I were you, you obviously missed a class or two on statistics.
If blacks make up 12% of the population, and make up MORE than 12% of the welfare recipients (and they do), then they are MORE likely to be on welfare.
What you merely quoted is what we called a 'liberal statistic'. One that is preached by the liberals to show a mis-fact, in hopes that nobody will notice how they twisted it to fit their needs.
@Readytochange,
#s aren't the issue, it is refusing to support the ones he has already made. As long as your 5 have food and shelter, you are still eligible for Dad of the Year.
or you can be a baby production factory like that 20 kid couple somewhere - he likes his quiver empty
DAppel, why are we a nation divided? In my shop, it is about 40% black and 60% white. At lunchtime, the blacks sit together, and whites sit together. Is it those redneck, confederate flag-waving neocons fault for not being more gracious? There have been no incidents, no fighting or words said. Are those poor black guys just victims, or do you think that everyone is just in their comfort zones, talking about like-subjects? How many blacks are you inviting over to Christmas dinner, and I'm not talking about Nigel the Wall Street trader, how about Corey with the nine kids. The media stirs the pot more than any raging racist citizens that you speak so lowly of. Check this out: http://youtu.be/Lqanl8hCjNE I contacted the ESPN program manager and said that the comments made were racist, they did not apologize and told me the skit was meant for satire. I responded by asking when they were going to do a story on why there are not many good black quarterbacks, and would they be willing to say they don't have the intelligence to read complex defenses or were too lazy to spend the time and effort to study game film. I received no comment. Thngs like that stir the pot more than anything.
Free birth control pills will not help these women...
They are too stupid to swallow..............
@Charles the Hammerhead
Um actually no humans aren't the only example in the animal kingdom that protects their young. If you limit it to mammals its probably most do. I would actually argue that humans are in the lower half of that category for providing protection and support.
@Anabanana,
and what does Joe Walsh have to do with this? Your comment is more of a "racial" statement with a judgement on parkwayne. He didn't write the article and it is about illegitimate children by this black man.
Also, here is some statistics for you; Outside of the educational differences, there are distinct differences between different races: 29 percent of white children are born to unmarried women, 53 percent of Latinos and 73 percent of black children.
If resource does not go through type in illegitimate children by race
articles.businessinsider.com/2012-02-21/home/31081751_1_illegitimacy-black-children-unmarried-women
I am not sure where you got your statistics from, however, I did look at a few and there are inconsistent percentages; not by much either way, but if you are touting "facts" you might want to post the information with a resource. I have seen other statistics in the past but did not add as I cannot remember where I read it, however, it is up at least 10% with blacks.
Percentage of recipients who are black-39.8%
Percent of recipients who are white-38.9%
www.statisticbrain.com
Black 37.2%
White 38.8%
www.huppi.com
Again, if resource does not go through, go to statistic brain.com and huppi.com
Where are all those right-wingers who say NBC never does any negative stories on Black people?
Wrap that rascal!!!!!!!!!!!
And according to the 2011 census 13.1 percent black 78.1 percent white population wise. So a larger percentage of the black population on welfare no matter how you figure. Unless you go with some of the cranks who believe that social security is welfare( more whites on ss).
When I first saw the pic, I thought what the hell has Barry Bonds done now.
Does that CONGRESSMAN still owe child support? Oh, maybe he is unemployed since last month. Think he is unemployed-- but this has been going on for years.
I work with a guy like this. He has 11 kids with 5 mothers 2 of them are currently pregnant and he just turned 30. He doesn't pay child support at all he laughed after seeing how much I had deducted from my checks for my only child.
He has every single one of his women brainwashed they won't go after child support.
Although I understand where people are coming from, a lot I don't agree with and some that I agree with loosely on principle, here's the thing. Nobody committed a crime by having sex, or having unprotected sex or getting pregnant. The number of babies made or the number of the mothers involved have little to do with the case except that he repeatedly committed the same crime. The crime was a failure to pay support. That is what he needs to punished for, not his moral choices or stupidity.
If a "good white Christian" redneck made 9 babies with his wife and skips out refusing to pay child support, is the crime really any different? Maybe because he did it once vs. multiple times, but the end result is pretty similar.
I just don't see this ruling as being Constitutional. On the one hand, he probably needs to be in prison, but on the other, being in prison does nothing to support the kids. Judges get pretty creative sometimes with conditions of probation, but telling this guy he can't have sexual intercourse is a stretch and it's going to be hard to enforce. No doubt, the source cause of the problem starts with this guy making babies, but he isn't crossing the line to committing a criminal act by doing so. There is nothing mentioned about any plan to pay the child support, I would hope that is also a condition of probation. The issue is that a condition of probation that rules out some legal behavior is always questionable. In theory at least, if the guys agrees to the terms of the probation, I suppose it is legal, but it is still debatable.
Through history, there have been cases where forced sterilization was ordered. We don't allow that anymore. Now I suppose when you make it voluntary it's somewhat different. However, if for example, the choice given were sterilization or prison, I think that is still improper. To me, the only appropriate way to do this would be to define his payment plan and add the condition that should he fail to abide by that plan or repeat a case of evading child support again, (as in getting somebody pregnant and skipping), he goes to prison. Outside that probation agreement I would suggest that he doesn't repeat the behavior that got him into trouble. I would also offer some help from the court to keep him from repeating his crime again. Namely offer for the court to pay for a vasectomy. (Not force it or make it a condition of probation, but offer it as a help to keep him out of trouble.)
I have little doubt that this guy is not going to make a major case out of the ruling. For one thing, I'm sure he can't afford it. For another, my guess is that he's not going to abide by it. However, I don't think the court can "order it" and very likely, making it a condition of probabtion is flirting with Constitutional issues.
Understand, that I am not in any way supporting this guy's behavior. He's an irresponsible idiot. But the criminal act is about child support, not having sex or making babies. Consensual sex and making babies is not illegal and when we try to use the legal system to prevent that, we're violating the Constitution. If the legislature passed a law to such effect, it would definitely be declared Unconstitutional by the Supreme Court and justifiably so.
The women were stupid and deserved what they got. 9 kids from 6 baby mama's clearly indicates that some of the women had MULTIPLE kids with this loser.
And frankly, it's not fair, but women have to take care of themselves not to get pregnant. Like it or not, the woman gets pregnant and when the loser man bails, the woman is left holding the bag and a lifetime of hardships.
Before you say it, I'm not anti-woman...it's fact. Instead of sterilization, he should get the death penalty for ruining 15 lives. The "dead-beat dad" laws are a joke in this country.
Many states give out free or low-cost birth control pills as well as free voluntary sterilization, find out about your state and pass the word along! The women may not want to take birth control but the option to be able to screw around without the familial consequences may be what some can do and the rest of the population can do with (less dependents of the state).
AnaBanana-1782128, flash8, you're each suspended for a day for violating #1 of the Code of Honor.
Some of you are very misinformed. We - America, that is - have had free birth control for 25 years at least. These women have absolutely no intent of preventing pregnancy because you on the left have no problem telling other people to pay their bills.
People on welfare, people who are having trouble doing a decent job of raising their existing children, people who can't afford children, people who are too crazy or stupid to be good parents, I ask that you do us all a favor, do the planet a favor...don't breed. It's that simple.
for those posting non-marital birth rates by race, what was the rate for pacific islander or asian?
Yep, whites have a way to go to get their rate below that.
Stupid plan, just send him to prison. If stupid was a felony the judge should go to jail too. He plans, this is the problem he does not plan.
Free birth control is available. It's called walking into Planned Parenthood and picking up some condoms. There is no cure for stupidity.
Maybe TLC should give him a show. Then he could have 10 more.
And for the record for those with short memories or bad history teachers. This country already when down the road of forced sterilization and it was abused. I'll bet you be all for it until somebody decides it you that needs to be sterilized.
If we required a simple IQ test, or the test the give immigrants to become US citizens...or you have to be sterilized...things would be a whole lot better. Pretty much do away with the red states...crime and the biggest crimes of all, stupid and redneck. Lif
They may be stupid and redneck, but they aren't judgmental and bitter like you are, Brenda.
Perhaps these type women would not be so lackadaisical about using birth control if the government were not so willing to give them free money for every child born.
An intelligence quotient in no way determines how well a father is going to treat his children, nor does it have anything to do with guaranteeing one will pay his bills. Personally, I think you need to take an IQ test so you understand what an IQ test is, because you clearly have no idea. There are a lot of rednecks out there that might very well have a higher IQ than you. Be careful what you wish for, you might fall into the <100 IQ group, and be exterminated.
what we need is a long term birth control for both males and females, given to all kids before puberty. Then, when you reach a certain age (21? 25? maybe), you can have it reversed for a fee (nothing extravagant, maybe 1k each?). Of course we're not there yet, science-wise, but imagine if every child had a good chance of being born to parents that are adults, most likely mature, and could afford at least the basics for them.
Brenda; wow you throw your hatred of southerners around a lot; first it is not the Rednecks that are breeding with all these women(a redneck girl would cut her mates..k off if he was caught with other women; it is the welfare crowd, that start breeding around 14 years old, each new baby means new money, food stamps, aid ti dependant children, a bigger apartment; the new welfare housing being built all over, each unit cost of construction ins over 300 thousand dollars, with furniture thrown in, they are in the business to have baby's.
saxon - you are right on all accounts regarding the welfare situation in this country. Unfortunately, it's not going to get any better because everyone in government who can do anything about making changes is only concerned about his or her reelection. They have no intention of displeasing the masses sitting on their rears and living off the rest of us because they have become the biggest voting bloc.
As far as Brenda is concerned, how can anyone denigrate Southern rednecks considering what the rest of the country has to offer, such as the Jersey Shore crowd or the California airheads?
Brenda, I really doubt that this guy is Republican or a redneck and Wisconsin is not a red state, it was a swing state in this election that went for Obama, or don't you read? You need to think (if you can) before you speak. If an IQ test were given, or forced sterilization for that matter, it would not be the Republicans who would be affected, it would be the Liberal welfare crowd. Republicans for the most part try to teach their children morality and personal safety, not how to equate babies into dollars.
Sadly, he and the guy last March who fathered 12 children by 11 women think it proves that they are studs to shag any woman who will have them. It proves that the women involved are not too bright also. Condoms are cheap and a lot safer than IUD's or BC pills. They also help protect women from all the diseases guys like this spread from person to person to person...
Brenda, TLB (that would be typical liberal bigot). What would be more helpful is an IQ test before you're allowed to post on Newsvine.
inmissouri - Yes by all means let's forcefully make people sterile (temporarily). While we're at it let's invoke the one child rule that they have in China. We can just kill the second or third kids when they're born; or tie the mother down and do a forced abortion. If you want to live in a third world country, please move there. Otherwise I might suggest that here in America, individual liberty, including the freedom to have children, is more vital than your particular brand of social engineering.
The last time I checked, Wisconsin [the location cited in this case] is nowhere near the South, Brenda. Seems reading comprehension isn't your strong suit. IQ test? Oh, indeed, hon. Dismissed.
With that silliness out of the way: This is happening all over the USA, and has been for years. It seems to be making news more often lately; not sure if it's because states are getting tougher [at last] on child support collection and catching up with these deadbeats, or because so many of our states are so tapped out from years of these subsidies that they're trying to get blood out of a turnip at this point.
As recently as 50 years ago, involuntary/mandatory sterilization laws were on the books in every state; California hold the distinction of being one of the most active in that vein. Male or female, anyone who was deemed "incorrigible", "feeble-minded', or a host of other antiquated and judgmental terms could be locked up in a "home" and sterilized, many times without the knowledge of the person being sterilized. [Reasons given ranged from appendectomies to who knows what else.] It was eugenics, pure and simple... and that isn't a road we should ever consider traveling again. Our early 20th century sterilization laws served as a model for the atrocities committed by the Nazis and their quest for the "pure" Aryan race. One should be very careful what one wishes for.
That said, I don't see a thing wrong with mandating temporary [read: reversible] birth control for anyone who is receiving government assistance for dependent children. There are shots available that will not permanently impact someone's ability to have more children once they're on their feet and self-sufficient. But as long as someone is not self-sufficient, there should be limits. It would benefit the children who are already here, and may just serve as an incentive for someone to work toward a better life for themselves, who knows.
joemike-
Why is preventing kids from doing something that could derail their life a bad thing? We already try to keep kids away from alcohol, tobacco, etc. And what the heck does reproductive limits and abortion have to do with my post? (besides the fact that when birth control use is widespread, there tend to be less abortions.)
The problem, Inmissouri, is that when you start arguing that "Why is preventing kids from doing something that could derail their life a bad thing? We already try to keep kids away from alcohol, tobacco, etc." to justify the government making serious changes to the inherent biology of a person at birth and charging them to reverse it years later for a fee is that it isn't the same as keeping someone from being able to buy an unhealthy product. Not even remotely. It also would have done nothing to stop the man in this case, as he's well above the age you are putting as the cutoff. It also would set a horrifying benchmark for restricting a basic human right "unless you pay to have that right back." You proposed solution is thankfully not possible with the medical technology we currently have, and I can only hope when the technology does exist that people have thought it through enough to avoid misusing it in that way
according to CDC, Non-marital birth rates by race: White 32.9 per 1,000, Black 65.3 per 1,000, Hispanic 80.6 per 1,000
Not that I agree with Brenda at all, but she said nothing about the south. She said rednecks. I have been to every one of the continental states. Every state has rednecks. They aren't just from the south. This is not just about blacks this happens to all races and political parties. It has to do with education.
Jvalen13 - you are correct to a degree. However, people with all ranges of education are popping them out nowadays without regard to who will be responsible for raising the kid. Blame it on TV, movies, etc. Every day we hear about another Hollywood actress or popular singer who is pregnant and not married. The younger generation wants to emulate them. Remember, these kids are so immature that they will vote for whomever their favorite celebrity tells them to vote. The problem is that they can't see that their favorite celebrity is worth millions and has the means to hire an entire entourage of nannies to care for the baby.
Uh, your point? What the CDC is counting is the ethnic origin of the mothers; I'd be interested in seeing the ethnic origins of both parents, otherwise one really can't make such a broad proclamation with any real accuracy. One can assume that the parents are of the same ethnic background, but that doesn't make it reality.
Look, there's plenty of blame to go around without having to single out one particular ethnic group. Is it a culture thing? Maybe to some degree. I think it stems more from ignorance, and I mean that in the true sense of the word, not as a slam.
According to the CDC, the United States isn't unique with regard to children born to unmarried women. Iceland, Sweden, and Norway stats are all well over the halfway mark. France and Denmark also have high numbers. Go figure, huh?
Jvalen13, 2.12: Brenda did mention "red states", which pretty much damned the South. And I'm sure they're weeping into their mint juleps over her condemnation, truly... ;)
I was born and bred in the Deep South and spent most of my life there. I now live in the middle of the [usually] frozen Midwest, and I agree with you 100%. "Rednecks" are all over the place. Oh, yeaaaahhh, buddy! :)
some people believe in the mentality that the more kids they have, the more $$ they will get from handouts. BRING ON THAT FREE HEALTHCARE !!!
the only ones that have to pay for anything are those who work...
more kids = more $$$
why in the *** do I continue to work everyday ? Oh yeah, because I don't like to take handouts, I'm an adult. Man it sure would be a lot easier if I didn't work though, with the way things are going.
David M- I wish people in general were responsible enough that this wasn't an issue. Right now, we really only have two options in dealing with kids who have parents that won't support them. Either we feed, clothe, house them (and a parent or two), or we let them starve. It would be nice to have a third option of universal prevention of underage reproduction. Since we're working on the theoretical here, of course you could say the contraceptive should be something that would wear off at whatever age, or it could be something that is reversed upon request anytime at age 18 or older. I'd prefer something that at least required going to a doctor's office to reverse, as someone who can't be bothered to make a slight effort to be able to conceive probably wouldn't want to put much effort into parenting.
Wasn't it Newt who was caricatured about congregate care for children with the caption, "Get a job and then get your kid back."
joemike, so you think no matter what happens with regards to supporting them, you should never take away a person's right to reproduce?
Let's say there is no safety net, and the coroner has to go over to homey's every other month and pronounce another one dead. Is that still cool, or is ot now a human rights and safety issue?
But that will never happen because there is cash for everyone...and there les the problem.
If the state raises a child with downs sundrome, and the child turns 18, do they give that person an apartment and a drivers license? Nope. This judge's conditions are kind of the same thing. He is taking away someone's right to reproduce as much as he is preserving the health and welfare of a future child.
It's not so unusual. Kill someone, you don't get to vote, claim conscientious objector, lose your right to government employment forever.
This is brilliant, too bad courts don't have authority to sterilize. Pretty sure you should have to have a license to have kids. You should need to pass a test, child development course, obtain atleast a high school education, have a job with the income to support the child, and medical coverage to be able to have children. Both men and women. Maybe there wouldn't be people out there with 10 kids collecting a government paycheck.
Even some of the brightest people in the world are without jobs and health insurance! I agree an IQ test might help some but birth control for the ones that are to dumb to know better would also help, are you willing to pay for it? We are currently sending millions of condoms to Africa, why not keep some here? Studies have shown that girls born out of wedlock are more likely to conceive out of wedlock, and the cycle continues!
If you are struggling financially, you can go to Planned Parenthood and they do give FREE birth control pills to women and condoms to men, most community health centers do as well, so the problem isn't free birthcontrol it is people's refusal to use them for whatever reason. Men use the excuse it doesn't feel real, TOUGH, use protection or support the outcome, I am personally tired of working and paying my taxes while others choose to lay on their backs and collect a check for every extra baby they bring in to the world. It is not the children's fault, but this is a vicious cycle that keeps repeating and is a growing problem...
There was nothing in this article that says the mothers of these children are collecting welfare or any sort of public assistance. They might actually have jobs and medical insurance, but that doesn't mean this idiot isn't responsible for paying his share of the financial responsibliity.
Very true Sally, and hopefully that is the case, but unfortunately for a great deal of the country that is not the case.
Thank you for pointing that out Sally. Of course we don't know about this case, but most custodial parents seeking back child support are not relying on government assistance, but are busting their humps trying to support their children themselves.
Concerned,
Planned Parenthood does not exist everywhere. In many areas they are few and far between. In some states, they are trying to get rid of PP altogether. So, you cannot make the statement or assumption that everyone easily has access to them. That is why free birth control, information on how to use it, and the consequences of sexual activity (you may think everyone understands how it works, but you would be amazed what some people do not know) needs to be universally available. Recent research shows that the abortion rates drop dramatically when these conditions are met.
if this man is a true American, I congratulate him, he should procreate more, if they are born healthy and strong the Government and the people should support him. We here in North America, ( Canada, and the USA ) are under assault by hordes and legions of Communist Chinese, they want to dominate , us, control, us and outbreed us, they are the ENEMY, I do NOT want to see America Chinatized. Walter ++++
Walter, I certainly hope that your comment was meant as some sort of sick joke! Even so, it is in very poor taste and I hope that if this is truly your position that you are sterile, the world does not need more people with this kind of mentality!
concerned, we also don't need anymore people like brittany who want to engage in unconscionable social engineering to create a society of her liking.
Jed even in states where they are trying to get rid of Planned Parenthood, like Texas due to them supporting abortion, there are other Women's clinics that these women can go to and get birth control. They just don't want it. My sister-in-law was one of these stupid women when she was a teen. "It will make me look cheap if I am prepared". The out come, a baby at 17. At least that is where she stopped.
I'm sorry but the court did nothing.
He was sentenced to:
Which amounts to a slap on the wrist. Want to be if he does father more children he'll get another slap on the wrist?
I doubt anything will change with this guy. He'll still owe all the money and will father more children.
Oh get the President on that quick!
When I was in high school there were two girls in my class knocked up by the same guy in our school, and three other, older girls with his kids. This was a very small town, there's no way you couldn't know about it - I couldn't believe those girls could be so gullible to think the same thing that happened to the other girls wouldn't happen to them with a guy like that.
Your logic is for civilized men, not for this guy. The women who got knocked up by this stud are slightly more developed than animals in a zoo during matting season... they are savages but look and act as humans in order to get a welfare check. It's an ego trip for him to spread his seed to as many fertile whores he can find in his jungle, err... I mean Ghetto. Your logic or for that manner, civilizations rules will never be understood by these barbarians who have the brain capacity of Neanderthals.
....no need to worry......
ALL of the women he has had children with, can, IF THEY ALREADY HAVEN'T, file for free Obama phones, food stamps, welfare, housing subsidy or just free rent ,courtesy of tax payers, Energy assisstance ........
@inkabob, so your thesis is only white men are civilized?
Another thing to think about: some people here are saying that the women should have known better after he had kids with another woman. What if they didn't know he had kids or he made up a lie?
I remember a number of years ago on a radio station, they had the 'war of the roses'; the radio show would help women find out if their man was cheating on them. The dj would pretend to be from a florist delivery service, call the man and tell him he won a free bouquet of roses that can be delivered to anyone. In one instance, the man sent his 'free flowers' to his fiance of a few years (she thought he was cheating on her), but then asked if he could buy some roses to send to another woman, currently pregnant with his child, with a 'romantic card inscription.' Mind you, his fiance was listening to all this and obviously blasted him on the radio/phone.
There have also been cases where men have committed polygamy without women even knowing he was already married.
gee walter - is your favourite tree a BIRCH, by any chance?
The people involved are both responsible to meet the financial needs of their children. Period.
The article states that he was guilty of not supporting (paying support) for his children, not that the mothers were on welfare. They may or may not be.
Those of you who think that going on welfare is a choice that people make to make ends meet, its not. It's what people who have/see no other way out (for whatever reason) do. The reality in WA state is this, the mother of one child gets 453.00 and 100.00 per month for each child she has after that. I do not know about you but I could not raise a child on that, or the "extra" 100.00 per month. I would need to have 12 children to pay my rent and utilities for my 2 bedroom apartment in a not so good side of town and then cloth them if anything is left over. And the waiting list for subsidized housing is 2 years. Washington is one of the more liberal states and having childrten to "get" welfare is NOT viable here.
I think there should be a law. If you cannot afford to take care of your babies, stop breeding. If they fail take sterilize woman and chop of nuts of a man.
It is not a freedom issue or moral issue. It is like telling I want steak and shrimp dinner every night but let society pay for it. I do not have that right.
If they do not behave, chop off their nuts.
Women are crazy also. If you cannot afford use birth control or get abortion. You do not have to walk around liek a slut and sleep with a dude who is in business of breeding and not taking care of what happens after.
What an idiot. Enough said
I don't know, David. Imagine if people really were responsible and only had children they could afford.
Not the taxpayer.
I'd like that world a lot. Much better than the trailer parks and walmarts full of people living off of my hard work.
Yes pete by all means let's ignore the thousands of smart well-off people who also abuse their children. But heck, they can afford them so it must be okay.
Your "trailer parks and walmarts" comment is so incredibly bigoted and hateful that it is ridiculous.
I bet joemike is really Cory Curtis stuck at home with an ankle bracelet on and nothing to do now but read articles about himself on-line until his crack ho comes for a fix.
Weeeoooo! Get the President on that pronto!
some people believe in the mentality that the more kids they have, the more $$ they will get from handouts. BRING ON THAT FREE HEALTHCARE !!!

why in the *** do I continue to work everyday ? Oh yeah, because I don't like to take handouts, I'm an adult. Man it sure would be a lot easier if I didn't work though, with the way things are going.
you of course are especially referring to the white red state trailer trash where no child born is legit...not one
Why castrate men?? It's better to sterilize women who are in heat like cats on a hot tin roof!
joemike, I wouldn't say it's hatred. Bigotry isn't right either.
More like contempt, disgust, disdain, disapproval, and dismay.
I think you're trying to put more into my comment than there is.
Unless you can support the position that welfare queens are entitled to a cut of my paycheck?
Perhaps you need some exposure to folks like this.
I don't want the VASECTOMY, doc... JUST THE SCARS!
The stupid, moronic women who copulated with this scumbag should be kept from breeding as well . . . . . forever.
Then all the women would scream misogyny. Misogyny has become the new race card.
they would scream the war on women....what a joke but people fall for it
Oh no now the ACLU will have to go after the judge.
If they don't, in 50 years anyone wanting a child may need a license/ government permission to have one. Of course, the ACLU may be beat to the punch on this "punishment".
So Brian he should just knock up a few more for you to support? Let the ACLU pay for them then!
Contrary to right wingnut, angry white guy tea bagger opinion, the ACLU does not defend the left. It's client it is the US Constitution, not a bunch of "socialists." Case in Point: A judge "sentenced" a teen to attend church. Yet, the 1st Amendment prohibits the establishment of religion. -a slam dunk. If there were no ACLU Freedom could not defend itself !
It's offensive for you to pretend the only defender of freedom is the ACLU, when in fact they firmly stand against freedom and the constitution at every opportunity.
It's about time a judge made a ruling like this. Why not force the offender to have a vasectomy? He can still have his fun, but he just won't get any more women pregnant. And the taxpayers won't have to support his progeny. However, to be fair, the same standard should apply to females that repeatedly get pregnant by different men who will not support the children. Make serial unmarried unsupported pregancy a crime that requires tubal ligation for the offender. Then, taxpayers won't have to support her progeny either. Heck, abortion is legal, voluntary sterilization is legal and birth control is legal. Why shouldn't involuntary sterilization be allowed as a judicial remedy?
Slippery slope. Once we allow the government to start mandating sterilization, what's to stop them from imposing it on more and more people? Who's to say that they wouldn't eventually start mandating it for every woman after she's had her 2nd child (even if she is married and with her husband capable of supporting a larger family)?
I see no problem stopping at 2.
Slippery slopes never matter on a whole littany of issues. Why is it suddenly important with respect to other people paying the baby-bills.
What about the women? They are as much at fault, right? They should check about the man's background and financial stability before making out!
You can't really use that as a yard stick, there are members of congress who are dead beat dads.
Men should use condoms, period. Not only does it protect against pregnancy, but is the best way to cut down on the transmission of STDs. To say it deprives a man of pleasure is just too bad, Harry. I,ve never met a man who could not achieve orgasm because of the use of a condom. People are just too lazy to take a 15 second break to put it on.
No method of contraception is 100% effective(cept for abstinence), and condoms do break. But it does take two to tango, and women could refuse sex without protection as well. The onus is split 50-50
That is so true Jerseyshore.
not everyone has the means to run background checks before the first date....
Comdom breakage means either: A) Dude bragging, or B) Girl pretending
This is a bad idea.
We play games, yet nothing changes.
Imprison him for a year, then work release with 85 percent withholding.
The objective is to provide for the children, not to start a debate on CNN.
Perhaps some public works projects dedicated solely to these types would help.
The objective is to get the kids what they need, NOT to make some social statement
Imprison him while working until it's paid off. There has to be ditches to be dug somewhere.
Included with that would be "mandatory birf control for his lil' sumthin' sumthins".
Good call by the judge.
The man obviously does not intend to care for his kids financially, and the mothers have virtually no chance of ever seeing support money from him.
You also have to question the intelligence of these women who get pregnant with this loser.
It is about damn time we started having this discussion publicly! Too many people fighting over resources. Nature has ways of culling the herd and they are not pretty. Perhaps we should exercise our brains more than our gonads and figure out ways to forestall the inevitable many of us see looming on the horizon. Let us stop glorifying people who have their 21st child -- even if the parents can afford them, the planet cannot.
We must learn to live sustainably or we will all perish.
Nor do I believe in mandatory sterilization, except perhaps under carefully controlled conditions and much due process. I have a gene mutation that causes my blood to be hypercoagulable. This inherited condition killed my father and his father. It almost killed me. But I did not find out about it until well after I procreated (genetic testing for this had not yet been developed). Had this condition been discovered before I had a child, should I have been ordered to be sterilized? Should those who carry other defective genes such as cystic fibrosis, Huntington's chorea, muscular dystrophy, sickle cell anemia, Tay-Sachs, etc.? Do we want to be like China and limit the number of children?
We must discuss this and find some practical, sustainable, yet compassionate way to work toward every child being wanted, cared for above the poverty level, educated, etc. There are ways to do this other than mandatory sterilization. Personally, I would not want to live in such a country. It's a tad totalitarian, yes?
Female literacy has been proven to give the most bang for the buck when trying to get birth rates down. Let us make a goal to ensure that every girl born on this planet gets at least a middle school education so that she has options other than being a baby factory. How about it, Bill Gates Foundation?
It's also totalitarian to take tax money from me - at gunpoint - to pay for other people's spawning.
I will never understand the objection most men have to vasectomization. You can have all the sex you want with none of the worry. It's great!
Actually it increases the risk of STD's exponentially if you're running around thinking you dont have anything to worry about now that you've been fixed.
david j- only if you're running around to multiple partners. My hubby will be getting snipped before my IUD runs out (unless we win the lottery in the next couple years and can suddenly afford more kids). He's very much in favor of it, especially when the 2 and 6 year old act like their blood was replaced by red bull.
david - cite references to support your statement. Otherwise, it is only your opinion and not based in fact.
UMGator - Do you really need references to accept that having multiple sexual partners would increase the risk of STD's? What do they teach you Gators???
All the sex you want does not mean risky sex. I know many times with girlfriends where sex wasn't an option because she forgot the pill or we were out of condoms. Sometimes we even took risks. And don't get me started on how panicked we were if she was late for a period.
None of that sex was "risky" as far as STDs are concerned.... but pregnancy was a constant worry. Then I met my wife, got married, and we had kids. *sigh*
No, joemike. However, I do need evidence that "Actually it increases the risk of STD's exponentially if you're running around thinking you dont have anything to worry about now that you've been fixed", as david johnson stated. Perhaps you can explain why STDs will increase exponentially merely because someone has been "fixed". I see no connection there. If someone is using protection before getting fixed but assumes he doesn't need protection after he is fixed, then yes, he might be more susceptible to getting or giving an STD. However, someone like the man in this article clearly doesn't use any protection whatsoever, so how is his chances of receiving/giving an STD affected if he has been fixed, Einstein?
Doesn't increase the STD risk ANY in this case. Dude is already living a Risky lifestyle.
Looks like he doesn't feel any responsibility for the kids and the judge has to ask him to keep him zipper zipped. He doesn't seem to agree.
Unfortunately, this does provide ammo for sterilization.
What do you mean, "unfortunately"?
Take THAT, all of you who think I'm a liberal!
"It's too bad the court doesn't have the authority to sterilize."
I say let us vote on it!....unless we are outnumbered by these type of people...
Set up some laws for dirt bags like this...of course it sounds like the women involved have no better sense since the dummies were having babies with a loser like this......I think drugs are involved here in some way....hmmmm?
Yes Troy let's vote, and in my bill that we vote on the first to be sterilized will be the people that voted yes (since they thought it was such a good idea).
Really. With logic like that your testicles will probably vote to sterilize themselves no doubt. Lay off the pot dude, it's not even 5:00 yet....lol.
You don't approve of voting on sterilization yet you want to vote on sterilization?.....how do the two of you share the one brain smeagol?..lol.
I think sterilization should be a free service to any consenting adult.
The judge does NOT have the right to do this for one simple reason. It is NOT against the law for a man to get a woman or multiple women pregnant. If he was spreading a 'disease'(STD's) then it's ok because he would be protecting society. If you give ANY government the right to force people into sterilization, or to stop having sex, or procreating, then we are all in for SERIOUS trouble in the future. The NAZIS did the same thing..........History repeats itself, because no one listened the first time. Don't think that it can't happen here.
Yeah that ruling is one of the dumber things I've heard lately. If you people want to let the government into your bedroom go ahead, but I guarantee it will end badly.
But why should we pay for his carelessness...each time he has a kid and that mom is on welfare WE pay for it. My daughter picked a loser like that. He has 4 kids and does not pay a penny. He is supposed to, but doesn't. He goes from job to job paying him cash under the table. Then when he gets caught he serves 30 days, then gets released to maybe work for a while until he is caught again for not paying. His parents stick up for him and say it's the law if you have at least 10 kids you don't have to pay child support anymore........they are all idiots and all live off the state and keep procreating. If you want the government to pay for your mistakes and keep supporting you and your offspring I think the government should have some say in what you do.
Me,
Hate to tell ya, but the Nazis modeled their sterilization program after that of what the US had in the early 1900s....of course they took it to a whole new level but there ya go.
Your reservations are certainly valid, but I think this guy is the perfect castration candidate in all honesty....screw sterilization! I'm tired of watching my federal tax dollars go to taking care of future idiots kids...nothing against these kids...since they are here we should take care of them since their parents are to stupid to. Lord knows it isn't their fault and I hope the best for them but I'd rather my tiny contribution go to a new computer for an inner-city school or to pave a foot or two of road....The judge should not only be allowed to order castration but also to take the kids away from these idiot women and adopt them into families that can provide for them and turn them into productive members of society. They are obviously on their own in that regard with this dumba$$es as parents.
But Troy, we stopped doing that in the US, didn't we?
Indeed. It seems that it is in order here though. The practice was used in the wrong way. Since you object so vehemently, what would your solution be? I'm open for debate....though not interested in another smeagol comment as you posted in response to my earlier thoughts...lol.
I know right? I don't have time to dig into WI statutes but I'm thinking we better get the President of the United States of America on this one!
Okay, let him procreate. Now, "Me" & Dave Johnson get the $90,000 bill. Where do they send it?
Your point is well taken,working "middle class" will get the bill. Unless we bring the "Gold Standard" back.
Going to ask all of the "Prophets" in this thread, where in the HELL did it say that the woman were on any type of assistance. Got news for ya goobers. If they were on assistance, the state would be going after he for the money that he OWES the state, NOT for money that he owes these women or the INTEREST on that money that he owes to the women. And yes I do know, because this is part of my JOB. I do payroll for a living and I get these from various states. When the state is after the non custodial parent for money (yes they go after women too) then it is stated that the MONEY is going to the state not the custodial parent. In all likelihood these women (gasp) work and are going to court to make him help. (Although they should have thought of that BEFORE having kids with this irresponsible jerk)
I see that the standard card carrying — — — — — — — are out in force and think they are being so smart.
NOT! All you are being is, well an — — _!!!!
Troy - Solution to what? People having children that they cannot afford? That's been happening as long as people have been having children. What I object to is the very notion that the society in general, and government in particular, should have any say in how many children people choose to have. If the government can decide that my procreative rights no longer exist, then the government can decide how many children I have, what sex my children should be and whether or not my children are smart enough, pretty enough, talented enough to continue living. You, and many others here, seem hell bent on turning over to the government/society the power to control the sexual lives of the people and I find that to be offensive, dangerous and morally/ethically untenable.
I have absolutely no problem with society holding men (and women) accountable for the support of the children they produce. But ordering someone to stop having children sends us down a slippery slope, the bottom of which, I doubt even you would like.
Joe,
Agreed on most points in part. I am just being a wise a$$ mostly. Evidently we aren't holding people to account for not taking care of their chiildren. We had the same problem in my family growing up....daddy just moved to a state with no extradition laws and bam!
I am a bit bitter against loser men that do not make any effort to take care of their children but I did learn a valuable lesson.....I will never do that to my children so at least some good came of it....thanks for the fight...lol.
You have to admit that a case like this warrents some kind of societal intervention...
This pretty much should be a requirement for obtaining welfare and food stamps.
Everyone in favor of laws dictating who may procreate please send a memo to President Obama. I bet he will think that this is a great idea!
Tacowhittler
He wouldn't care one way or the other now. He got his votes.
I say limit govt assistance with no added assistance for children born to women currently recieving assistance providing free IUD's, tubals, or DEPO for women in order to continue to recieve funds as well as a requirement that they either be enrolled in school or have some type of job (think of all the govt jobs such as custodians, secretaries, and clerks that could be held by these women and they could get a small salary plus their food stamps and welfare). I've got no problem with taking care of the kids (not their fault and they deserve a chance), but we DEFINITELY need to stop making it profitable, and stop adding to the problem with more and more children that the parents don't have the resources to take care of. NOTHING is ever truly free and if people on welfare had to actually do some kind of work they might try to do better by themselves.
This is careless, irresponsible behavior on both the man and the stupid women who let the guy in. I just wonder how many of these women were hard working and model citizens to fall for such a loser. The best thing would be to throw the guy in jail for not paying child support. However, the women are so stupid that they'd end up "gracing" us with more of their progeny.
Just throw the dude in jail and be done with it. He doesnt need to be told he cant reproduce. He more than likely did not have that many kids on purpose. He did however not pay his child support on purpose so throw his sorry ass in jail and call it good.
didn't have that many kids on PURPOSE? So what was he doing - playing "bury the sausage" with an inflatable plastic girlfriend?? Let's extract our head from our anal orifice, eh?
Ah, but see... you've already given the government the right to start dictating what you can/cannot do because it now has an interest – it pays for your activity. So, it can tell you what to eat because it pays for your health care. And if it is paying for the kids' care, then it CAN tell him to zip it. The work release idea above is good, but it doesn't really address the problem, does it?
We're just too PC and afraid to call it what it is.
He says the judge "hastily" made his decision?? right.....like this boy knows all about hastily...like hastily having 9 kids and probably more he doesn't know about.. Maybe don't be so hasty in the future and use some protection or be a little more selective.
Must be another of those right-wing big-government judges. Let's just keep government out of the bedroom and out of our personal lives.
Uh, Patriott - I believe it is the right wing that is opposed to big government. They want less regulation. It's the left wing that wants government in every aspect of out lives, Einstein. You are a good example of why we need birth control.
Yes as we all know that Personal responsibility, accountability and self control is not one of a Liberal's strong suits is it?
Yeah, he definitely must be one of those "evil Right wing nuts" to actually have the nerve to tell this creep to keep his peter in his pants if he can't afford to take care of that many kids! How dare he "infringe" on the rights of this poor excuse of a man and father? He's such an EVIL MAN for wanting this punk(and definitely old enough to know better!) to grow the hell up!-lol.
You obviously haven't grown up yet either!
Great, morons creating more future morons! Just what the country(and world) needs right?
*eye rolls*
Patriott: I'm sure it won't be hard for you to contact this wonderful fella and contribute money or adopt one or a handful of his litter. Typical liberal hypocrite. They should not allow anyone on welfare to get paid for more than the national family average. They might stop procreating like roaches. Sterilization and/or mandatory vasectomies.
I would suggest you folks investigate "Buck v Bell" - involuntary sterilization where the judge said "3 generations of imbeciles is enough". Of course, it was Virginia and Buck was no imbecile herself (having been committed to state care apparently to hide a rape by her adoptive mother's nephew) and the daughter placed well in school until she died of measles in 1932
Octopornmom has 14 kids, and we are paying for those kids while she is out doing porn films. HELLO ?
He can make a porn film with her! At least it would be income for the both of them and the are already skilled at what they do.
This is why America is in decline.. every dead beat has 9 kids while people with brain cells choose to procreate less and less. Idiocracy here we come!
Black men are known for not supporting their kids.
It isn't about race, it's about class. I know some African-American men who are in stable, long-term marriages and are fantastic dads. I also know some deadbeat white men with multiple "baby mamas" and kids whose lives they are not involved in.
I'm going with Crimson Wife on this one...I know plenty of white trash losers who don't take care of their children too!
Looking up people I went to high school with I found one who had 6 children with 3 different women in 10 years....didn't look him up again...he was a jobless loser...he was white. That's just one example...I could go on and on.
True Wayne. Most don't marry the mother....70% out of wedlock birth rate 'mongst the people o' color.
The difference is, you had to try kind of hard to find one. This is way too common in the black community. Men having sex with anything that walks, never contributing to the many kids they father, either monetarily or as a parent. Black girls having sex when their in their young teens and start having babies when they're in their teens. Multiple kids from different men. This is just the way it works now. They know good, hard working tax payers will pick up the tab. It's sickening. How about we take the national family average of 2.5 kids and that's all you get, no matter how many kids you have.
Nobody ever said "all black men don't take care of their children." But you have to admit the statement was accurate.
Accurate in the same way a shotgun is from 200 meters...
so lying racist, eh? Using "boys" emphasizes it.
MONEY,
you didn't finish reading my statement...I can come up with plenty more examples of white trash not taking care of their children.....my father included...lol!...you find what you are looking for. If you are only looking for black men who don't take care of their children then that is what you will find.
Some of you are just closet racist kluckers I have no doubt.
well, lying, I am NEITHER (sorry to burst your poor widdle bubble)
I work in a retail establishment and can always tell the gov't supported ebt slackers when they come to the register. They have $75 nail jobs,$300 in body tattoos, aerospatiale shirts, and lotto tickets to cash. After buying junk food with their ebt they break out a $ 100 bill to pay for the lotto, gas, cigarettes, and rolling papers. Aren't us working middle class people a bunch of suckers to pay for this! Daddy knows momma won't starve to death if he doesn't pay his child support. So why should he pay it. The kids are living fine on beef jerky and Twix bars.
Wow, aren't YOU bitter!
So your life sucks... too bad. Mine is better. Poor you! ;-)
-god, you offer no rebuttal to phubai12, only a personal attack. Come on, let's hear some specifics!!
He's got nothing because it is true. I've been behind these clowns at the grocery store. A tactic I have recently experienced is that they will use this money to buy $hitloads of soda...eventually cash in the aluminum and use that money to buy smokes and whatever else they can't get with those damn things. Some of these people literally brag about how they get around the system....not all. Lord knows their are people out there that need our help, but there is a huge amount of abuse as well. The people should have to submit mothly financial reports or be tracked in some way for this reason. There is ridiculous abuse of our compasion
I'm with CME mgmt... Dear God, personal attacks can be enjoyable if the attacker is witty and intelligent. You are not witty, and your intelligence cannot be quantified at this time.
Troy that scam wouldn't work well. Spend 50 cents to a dollar per can for a 5 cent deposit? That's like getting less than 10% back in cash.
I have heard about them trading food for cash/other items though, directly. So maybe they buy pop to trade for money. With the pop still inside.
This would be funny if it were something new but Blacks are their own worse enemies.I gots me 9 kids with 6 different Mama's.Hell,if it wasn't for Blacks we'd have no reality TV murder shows.
So I guess everyone is now in favor of regulating what happens in the bedroom. If the dude cannot pay for the children he is legally responsible for he should go to jail. Other than that forced sterilization is not the way to go. We are not China or anywhere else who would do those things. Freedom to procreate is already a freedom, get it.
