Agreed
Unfortunately no government will never have the bottle to tackle this issue which would be solved by introducing the following:
1. All teenage girls to be fitted with contraceptive implants which can be removed as and when they demonstrate the means to start a family.
2. Social housing to be provided for low paid workers and pensioners, social hostels for the rest who can't pay their way.
3. "Workfarms" to be set up where people claiming benefits must arrive by 8am to be available to do a days work should an outside company require them or to be put to work in the workfarm's own manufacturing/agricultural areas.
4. Prison terms to be increased tenfold. Existing prisons to be torn down and new ones built consisting of wooden huts, electric fences and armed guards.

Umm, that's all for now, I'm sure I can think of some more solutions if anyone is interested.

Why the teenage girls and not the boys? They're as much to blame.

It's easier and doesn't require an operation for women
At least until they perfect the pill for men, and possibly this new 'smash the sperm with ultrasonics' technique.

Course, if I ruled the world I'd apply mandatory contraception to everyone, with a no questions asked opt out. That way every child would be wanted (even if for moronic reasons). It might impact slightly on genetic diversity, though.

Some sort of zinc-blocking implant/pill might work.
Men with zinc deficiencies tend to have low fertility. This is because bollocks are zincy and fannies aren't, so when sperms are in a low-zinc environment they swim like mad because they think they're in a fanny. If a man doesn't have zincy bollocks the sperm go into omg-we're-in-a-fanny-find-the-egg mode and tire themselves out and die.

Don't we need zinc for other things though?

Because
if you did the boys, the girls would be coming to succesful middle aged men like us offering us free shaggings in order to get pregnant.

I meant do the boys AND the girls, not the boys instead of the girls.

( Bob Todd whee, Fri 28 May 2010, 15:09, closed)

The boys probably won't get pregnant anyway.
