All Your Children Are Belong To Us

A couple from Dundee, Scotland, face having their children taken away by social workers if their children don't lose weight by June:

Their parents have been told to send the children, the oldest of whom is 12, to dance and football lessons to shed pounds—or risk losing them.

Causing social workers most concern is the weight of the 12-year-old child, who is more than 16 stone, and another three-year-old child who weighs four stone.

They say they were warned that all six children could be taken into care unless significant improvements are seen by June.

Social workers have allegedly even labeled the 21-month-old child, who weighs 26lbs, overweight.

16 stone is about 220 lbs, 4 stone is about 40 pounds.

At first blush, many of you might be thinking that uprooting those children from their parents and putting them in foster care is an extreme and dangerous idea. Sure, there may be disadvantages to doing that, but there is also a host of positive advantages waiting for those kids if they are snatched away from their parents.

For instance: What could possibly be better than having two parents? That's right, having FOUR parents. There's two extra people to love them even more. Two extra gifts at Christmas (if it is still legal to celebrate), two extra gifts on their birthday...and I'm not even taking into consideration the extra gifts the family of mommy and poppy II will bestow upon them.

Kids love to travel. And what better way to travel and see the beautiful country of Scotland than being taken away in the middle of the night by caring strangers, driven hundreds of miles away and put into new surroundings?

Eventually in one's life, disaster and trauma will strike. Why not have it strike early for these kids so they can get use to a life that is filled with inevitable hardships? As the saying goes, "What doesn't kill you will make you stronger." If that saying is in any way true, these kids will be Herculian by the time they grow pubic hair.

We (meaning me, the gov't and better people than you) have already snuffed out most of the smokers. We have put whitey in their place and have taken away most of your money through taxes and distributed it to causes and groups WE deem necessary. Since no one has the balls to stop us, we are now taking away your children through bizarre laws and, well, just because we can. Oh, and because we care.

In other words, fuck you.

And have a nice day.
