I KNOW I'm going to catch h#ll for this, but I honestly feel that there should be a mandatory test that all people who intend to have children must take... And they MUST PASS IT to prove that they can be responsible parents and teach their children the right way to behave.

I think there should be mandatory (reverseable) sterilization for everyone on the onset of puberty, and they should have to take the parenthood test and pass in order to have the sterilization reversed.

Feel free to cut me apart... but I stand by this. After all - you need a license to drive, a license to get married, etc... but any loser can become a parent. It just doesn't make sense to me.
