In the interest of balance to Monty's barely disguised love for all things bumderish below.
There was a piece on the radio this morning about an American charity that wishes to set up in Dear Old Blighty. Their purpose is to offer drug addicts £200 to undergo voluntary steriliasation. This is not permanent sterilisation, and the emphasis is on the word voluntary.

Cue a number of 'experts' crying "eugenics" and "Nazi Germany".

What's your view? Or alternatively, which Glee character would like like to give a good old, Monty style punch in the face? I've never seen it before but I'm assured that there's probably an outrageously camp character on it so I'd go for him, on the basis that Graham Norton ruined Doctor Who on Saturday night for the second time in five years and therefore all camp men are evil.

So if I take loads of drugs
I get PAID to take the contraceptive injection, which lasts three months?
Or have I missed something?

I'm trying to find a link
but yeah, that's about it.

I think it's a damn fine idea.
Shame it isn't permanent though. £200 for a pre-frontal lobotomy, now that would be a bargain.

Why are they being paid to do it? 'Snot fair!
Loads of women go and get that injection all the time.
I'm sure if you offered that option to a smackhead they'd take it anyway without the incentive.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 27 Apr 2010, 10:09, Reply)

I think smackheads will do anything, only if it allows them to buy more smack.
So, the incentive is essential.

Sad, but there you are.

If it's not permanent then it's not sterilisation is it?
More like long term birth control like the injection or coil.

I see no reason why it's a bad idea really.

Sterilisation was the term being used this morning
but yeah, my understanding is that it's basically long term contraception. Personally I think it's a good thing if it prevents addicts from breeding whilst they are addicts. SOMEBODY HAS TO THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

I'll think of the children...

This has all the hallmarks of one of Right-wing American Christian 'Know-How'
And sounds like a system I'd happily abuse - I earn £200 and am spared the expense of regular contraceptives for three months or so if I pretend to be a heroin fiend? Bargain.

On the subject of Glee, I have been unfortunate enough to encounter snippets of it due to my flatmates' insistence on watching it. From what I've seen, there isn't a single person on that cast whose gleaming, pearly-white, expensive American dental work I wouldn't happily punch down their throats.

You have to prove you're an addict first, apparently.

Do coffee, chilli or cask beer count as addictive substances?

(LongJohnBaldry, Tue 27 Apr 2010, 10:19, Reply)

Probably not, no.

Erm....the need to punch the irritating?
*sigh*
Oh well, I guess I'll just have to go back to microwaving my bollocks.

how do you get the door shut?

( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 27 Apr 2010, 10:58, Reply)

By cunningly bending my wang into the catch on the side
I can trip the saftey mechanism and fool the microwave into thinking it's shut. As well as having something on which the scratch the annoying itch that seems to strike my phallus at inopportune moments.

Seems ok to me.
There's a few non druggies out there that should get this incentive too.

yeah
they should include workshy people in that as well, where they get a council house if they don't have a baby instead of the other way around.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 27 Apr 2010, 10:59, Reply)

If they'd have had that on offer
a few years back I'd have been spared a whole heap of trouble.


I'm glad my daughter's around, but still...

People always use
"eugenics" and "Nazi Germany" as negative terms. It really pisses me off.

The Nazis did not approve of progressive rock from the 1980's
So Twelfth Night would not exist. How do you feel now?

Yes we did.

I'm fine, thanks.

Liar, Liar pants on fire.
Either that, or dangling from a meat hook. Both practised by the Nazis on progressive people in general.

Glad you're fine though.
