The docs didnt remove a tumor, they removed his compassion!

Has nothing to do with compassion. Honestly. Do you want your money to pay for someone else's booze, butts, and bonghits?
I'd rather have those funds pay for my own, thank you.
This thread is ultimately about children and all we've discussed are parents. Is it fair that we punish these kids for their parents mistakes? Should we just ignore the correlation between poverty and crime? Hard questions.
we should punish parents for their kids mistakes
it'll make people start thinking twice about having them

Who's punishing the kids? I thought we mentioned that.
a) They should stop doing the things that prevent them from taking care of the kids if they really want to take care of their children. (i.e. drugs and alcohol)
b) They shouldn't have more if they can't currently support what they have at this point (thus adding more attention and care to the kids currently in question)
If anything we're aiding the kids. Letting the parents buy drugs will not help the kids.

Guys: the word is "leech".

I agree with you that they should work to control their addictions, but that's not how addictions work. You're thinking about this problem as though these people are rational. When I go in to a grocery store and see someone buying booze with cash and necessities for their kids with food stamps, that's upsetting. It's easy to just conclude that the food stamps aren't necessary and are just enabling people to use their cash to support their habits. But addictions will fuck up your priorities. If you take away the food stamps, they'll just starve their kids. The habit comes first. Just ask Kiki, or both my uncles on my mom's side.
If it's alcohol, then constant requirements to get assistance (i.e. AA, etc.) should be required. Same goes with hard drugs.
If it's marijuana, they have no excuse. If it's tobacco, they can suck it up.
I like how tobacco is a suck it up drug. You do know how addictive it is, yes? Just because something is socially acceptable does not mean it's any less addictive than something like heroin dude. Tobacco is not something you 'suck up' generally. That's kind of besides the point though.
