FamilyRe: Should Drug/alcohol Addicts Be Bribed Not To Have Kids? by madlady(f): 5:38pm On Nov 11, 2010

^^^ Many or most?

What level of addiction were the sample pool we are talking of?

In regards to this scheme, the kind of addict that will collect 200 bucks will not be a doctor.
That's why I said the scheme takes advantage of the poor and needy.

A child having a decent and supported life is more important than bearing and rearing a child.

I would disagree that the approach would successfully be able to target poor people as I believe not a majority or even significant number of poor people are drug addicts.

I would also disagree people there is a strong link between drug addiction and mental illness.

If they take drugs and still can support their families, I see no reason why they should not be able to have kids.

I doubt this is the case. Only a minority will be able to and that is after a severe exhaustion of public or family funds.
To me rearing a child in a decent and supportive way must be one of the best things a human being can ever do.

There have been quite a few  studies done on the link between drug/alcohol  abuse and mental illness.

Many addicts do turn their lives around, doctors are amongst those who do.

Yes your right but I do resell certain items.

Not boots that was just an example, accessories and bags make a good profit.

I go more for quality than the LATEST TRENDS so I find certain high end garments are almost always undecided in fashion.

Your explanation of that incident does show that some people do go  to the extreme to possess some things.

I see buying good quality things like an INVESTMENT.

Like I said before I would rather have a FEW good quality items than wardrobes full of things that I cannot use after a few months.

People have different reasons for buying the things they buy.
FamilyRe: Some Family Women And Materialistic Issues? by madlady(f): 7:23am On Nov 11, 2010
I make myself afford them, it works out more cost effective for me in the long run

NO I don't stick them on cc cards, I would end paying more for them in the long run.

Yes I understand what the OP said, that's why I said I come at this issue from another angle.
FamilyRe: Some Family Women And Materialistic Issues? by madlady(f): 7:10am On Nov 11, 2010
@Topic I come at this issue from another angle.

For me I find it PROFITABLE to buy SOME high end goods. I buy and sell and buy and resell these goods.

I don't buy them because they are so called  luxury goods I buy them because I find  some to be better made and longer lasting.

I would rather buy 2 well made boots for the year than 6  that I cant  wear again after 2 months.

That's my humble opinion.

iaabc:
I think that what I really want to know is, is child bearing or rearing the major problem with this group of people? Are there other areas that need to be considered so that they may have healthier lives?
I considered this also then came to the decision that NOTHING can be more important than bearing and rearing children.


I think the idea of sterilizing drug addicts seems to be a way to target the poor and those suffering from mental illness.

What of the 1 in 6 UK doctors who are addicted to drugs and drink.

I think many addicts do manage to turn their life around, so sterilization maybe a step too far.

Paloma noticed that Lord Sugar had already made a negative comment or two about Sandeesh,(that she hardly makes any real decisions, is not forthrigh etc) so she saw Sandeesh as a likely one to bad-mouth, too. Let's face it, during some arguments I've watched Sandeesh take a back seat and never contribute she is too careful. She has lovely eyes tho'. They joked about it on You're Fired. Make sure you watch that sister show!
@maedan, thanks to your great commentary I've rediscovered this great show. Cheers.

Bye the way, when is the sister show on?

I couldn't find any modern threading styles, but I really have seen a few very young girls (6years old or so) sporting that style here in the UK. It's done with shiny thread, I think

What do those artistic  SA styles look like? you've really got me interested cool cool cool

I hope I can braid/plait at four months, I so look forward to that. . . . . I am almost certain your hair will have grown when you take out the braids!

Yes, patting down it is actually, NO hot comb for my hair and the only heat to come close to my hair will be when I go under the dryer when I do treatment at the salon, I will start blow-drying it when it is long, not now. Yeah I am going to plait as soon as I can, looking forward to it, I like cornrows with or without hair extensions.

What's threading? Maybe I know it but call it something else. . . . . .
I've avoided the hot comb for some time, sadly I will have to do it for 2 occasions coming up. angry


I'm sure threading goes by other the names. My sis-in-law laughs when I ask her to get her hair done in that style when she goes home to Nigeria. She said that style went out in the dark ages. I heard that threading made your hair grow quickly. I love it, it looks like ART.

I see re: second wash, it sure took me long enough cheesy

Mine I press down with the hand after brushing just so it looks neat and not too "grown" (long)

I am definitely getting the heat cap, my hair is not soft so this should help a great deal, thanks for the tip!
grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin to your first comment.

We call that patting down. So you don't use a HOT COMB, they can be ok if used with the correct products.

Are you going to plait ? do you ever thread your hair?
