Ew, your hatred of people and desire for others to be suffering or non-existent is showing and it's gross.

It's such a 19th century-ass take that it's on the verge of proposing eugenics and Magdaline laundries.

according to OP we should apparently murder the homeless because nobody below a certain income level should be allowed to live or have kids. i've seen this argument before... mostly from people who had wealthy parents and feel like nobody should have kids unless their parents have millions in the bank to pave an easy life path for their children... just like theirs did.

Your ignorance of the realities of famines and resource management shows, and it's fucking pathetic. I am poor, I don't hate poor people, I am explaining the problem is that religious people refuse to have sensible limits on procreation when there are government handouts. For example, in China, they have sensible procreation policies at times. I don't support their lack of freedom of speech, but nature and math are realities that can't be ignored. Clearly, you prefer platitudes and would rather ignore science.

I dont care for what lies you tell yourself to make yourself feel better about them.

Plans that involve the suffering of others should never come first. And your choice to pretend you have gone through all others plans is not reality.

I wasn't saying that there shouldn't be housing first... I'm just saying that there are conflicts between religion and religious values and proper resource management

maybe there should be housing first and then cultural and religious problems that lead to resource issues should be sorted out later

The idea "poor" people shouldn't be allowed to breed is basically equivalent in my eyes to Nazi eugenics. A human being's true worth should never be measured by the size of their bank account, or by their social class. The only reason poverty exist in the first place is because of evil, greedy fucks like Jeff Bezos. If anything, the rich shouldn't be allowed to breed. That would do a lot more to address poverty than anything else.
