Do you give your money to the bank.. and let the bank decide HOW and WHEN you are allowed to use your money ? I don;t think so...
So why are you letting the treasury aka Govt... dictate your life for you , using TAX PAYERS money ????
so until now you do not understand the difference between a govt and a bank?
but for the sake of giving you an answer, you actually technically get to choose the govt you want to represent you. and assuming they were choosen based on how you want things to be done, the money would actually be spent that way.
which apparently also means 60.1% of this nation thinks quite differently from you.
I supposed I'm the 39%.......ah....... but I also appear to have a different view from yours.
Is this getting through to you ?

A single mother does not have more rights... and I never advocate them getting more than a married mother... I have made myself very very clear that they should be given EQUAL rights AS A MOTHER.
Yet you keep harping on MARITAL STATUS.
What is the difference between a DIVORCED single mother.. vs a Unmarried single mother ??? Oh.. i guess one had a man willing to marry her but left her... and the other had a man who refused to marry her and left her....
Do you really believe more women will jump in the marital wagon simply becuase of the Govt"Rewards"... that's an outright insult to women folks.
We arn't gonna die if we don't get it , understand ?And no we won't say no to men when they propose just becase the Govt decided to stop giving it...
Worst is if we know the reward was at the expense of someone else who needs it. Then no.. we really DONT want it.
which is why the current laws in place allows you to farked the guy up who made you pregnant and not take responsibility.
you still get support, provisions are allow by the govt, just that the money isn't from them.
if you have ever read law documents before, you'll noticed the words used are darn detailed if they want it to be. when they feel like taking a stand.
no insults were intended but with your interpretation, if it makes you feel better to feel someone's insulting you.
be my guest.
you have the habit of adding stuff like that in

Jump through hoops ??? Old man... are you getting everything all muddled up.
It is current GOVT policy that's making it harder for couples.. nothing to do with single mothers.
Why are you punishing single mothers for the bad shit our incompetent government is imposing on couples ?????
Oh wait.. are you saying that ... single mothers had it easy.. as she does not have to jump through hoops like married couples ????? What the.... seriously.. dude... are you getting senile... surely you are not that old yet.
I'm punishing single mothers?
you're punishing me with your stupidity. this is a forum, not the home ministry.
you're the reason why when you learn life guard courses they tell you to knock the shit out of the person you're rescuing.
with other groups of single mothers and the benefits covered, let us go back to see why I made that comment. I was referring specifically to those who want to be mothers only. artificially or maybe unprotected sex with some guy who's sperm they desired.
easy enough?

Really. Well don't jinx yourself old man.
Frankly, I feel bad bullying an old man... I shall stop now... I see you flailing about with your thoughts....last I want is be cause for your stroke and heart attack.
Apparently , even after living much longer than most of us here... you have not gained any empathy nor sympathy through your life experiences.
You are a hardened old man.. and stubborn as that.
You may be living in a very crowded place... but you will die a lonely death.
If you so think you totally deserved all the goodies , even at the expense of another... then you are only a person who takes and care but himself.
The world can do one less like you.
chill man... dont turn a discussion into a war

that's right, when you don't agree, and you can't convince others to join you. you label them. call names. throw insults. demonise them.
and you're the one who supposedly labels herself democratic?
and you're married and a mother? really? govt's legal definition?or someone "shot" you?
you do realise what you do here affects the way you carry yourself off line? and assuming you really do have kids, by your self declared so very high standards. you are obliged to bring them up and instill them with good values via a good up bringing?
do your kids know how mommy behave online? probably not right? on the other hand I actually show what I post here to my friends though labeling you as crazy seems a little too much. but it's not like you can blame me if you've read your own posts.
the problem with democracy here in singapore.......... is it's simply a facist form of liberalism. people claim to be liberals , democrats so long as the other side follows lol.
once they don't get their way the other side must be evil. like how you perceive the world in an 80s cartoon.
I appreciate it when politicians do that to brainwash people. but the average person? plain dumb? dropped as a kid?

"it's hard but it's not harder, just not easier to be a single mother."
precisely, why shouldnt we make it easier for them than what they are having now?
Give them the right to public housing and equal maternity rights.
Not more.. just not less.
jojobird since you say you are married and a mother let me ask you this
you know who is going to support your generation when you become 70+, and people get sick, cannot work, homeless, etc etc?
answer: your children generation.
now, who raise your children generation? YOU. Mothers. and Fathers.
How about those who did not have children? They are relying on OTHER PEOPLE children to support. other people children will have to work very very hard, pay a lot lot of tax to pay for the hospital, doctor, nursing home, etc of the previous generation.
NOW, this mean people who don't have children are actually selfish. free loader. parasite on other people children.
BUT society now dont see it like this.
INSTEAD. we COMPLAIN when people go for maternity leave. AIYA must fill in for their duties, NOT FAIR.
SO all I am saying is. We should tell the truth. which is woman without children are SELFISH. and should be stigmatised that way.
THANK YOU

one surprising side effect of the one child policy was it contributed greatly to gender equality.
lots of families only had one girl so they focus their resources and sent that girl to school. rather then teach her all she has to do is find a husband.
if allowed a boy and a girl, the girl might not have the chance to go to school.

eh, how old are you really. It's quite strenuous to explain things to a child pretending to know adult stuff.
Actually, most part of your post is BS. I really don't know what you have been taught.. perhaps by your very selfish parents.
A parent who uses their children as retirement insurance is SELFISH.
I am a working adult... and I am socking away a lot of money for my reitrement. I have no intention at all to rely on my children to take care of me when I am old.
If they do stay close by for my sake.. well.. that will be because they WANT to.. not because they HAVE to.. and I will be grateful for that.
The true teaching of Filial piety is a two way street.. along the generations... self serving parents exploited this teaching and distorted it for their own convenience...get yourself properly educated please.
Not only am I planning for my retirement.. I am also putting money away for my children to send them to top schools..so they may acquire skill/knowledge/ability to take care of themselves when I can no longer take care of them. And at the mean time.. I am spending a lot of money on my children to make sure they are living a comfortable life.
Do I expect them to take care of their children, yes . Do I expect them to rely on my grandchildren to take care of them ? Hopefully NOT.
"How about those who did not have children? They are relying on OTHER PEOPLE children to support. other people children will have to work very very hard, pay a lot lot of tax to pay for the hospital, doctor, nursing home, etc of the previous generation."
This you have mentioned... is a PONZI scheme. Google it.. if you dont' know what it means.
It will never work.. and it is the MAIN reason why we have HUGE INFLUX of immigrants.. which our govt has used to justify their open leg policy.
You have been brain washed.. fool.
If your reason for stimatising women is based on your stupid fear of them being a freaking burden, then you can shut up now... it's rubbish in rubbish out.
"INSTEAD. we COMPLAIN when people go for maternity leave. AIYA must fill in for their duties, NOT FAIR."
Again, you are stabbing yourself in your own feet. Obviously you are just merely a student with obsolutely ZERO working experience. And you have ZERO appreciation for what your parents had to do for you... to raised you into the idiot that you are pounding away mindlessly on the keyboard.
When I was a single working female, I was glad I didn't hav to deal with the "difficult family life most of my female married co-workers had to live with. The pressure and many "family emergencies"...goosh... I told myself maybe I'll stay single forever.
A working mother takes a LOT of leave days... not only during and after pregnancy... also along the way till their children attain adulthood.
Children get sick very easily...whenever they get sick.. parents take time off.. and when they need to go see doctor for maintenance checkup.. someone has to bring them there.... and when the school call.. we have to be there... when the school got holidays... who take care of you ?
So single women with no children are actually MORE productive than a single man with NS obligation... If you are too stupid to understand this.. you should climb back into your mother's womb forever.
"SO all I am saying is. We should tell the truth. which is woman without children are SELFISH. and should be stigmatised that way."
Now if you insist .. sure.. why don't we make sure ALL women no need to work.. if they no need to contribute to the working society..because they don't have to worry about paying their bills and their SOLE responsibility is to be a INCUBATOR.... OK.. shame them if they don't produce babies. Since having babies become the SOLE purpose for their existence.. yes ? Feasible.
Now in order for that to work... we need the government to issue all women who hit puberty (child bearing age) with a monthly stipend , sufficient to let women enjoy an acceptable standard of living... so they need not rely on individual men nor themselves to provide for them... rather from a pool paid by working men and managed by a centralised agency.......MEn go work... and pay into the resource pool to be distributed equally to the women. Do you agree with this idea ???
But YOU AS A GUY.. dare to complain when a woman doesn't want babies.. when YOU are UNABLE TO BE PREGNANT... and you are unable to SUPPORT/provide for your girlfriend or wife without her going to work and bringing home the dough...now that's a shame isn't it... shame on you dude.
All I am saying is... currently our women need to go work to help pay the bills , give birth, raise babies, take care of family, be faithful..make you feel like a real man.... do you want them to wipe your ass for you too ?

oooohhh.. now you wanna rope in your whole CLAN and supporters...I am shaking in fear...
Well actually no... you see.. it doesnt matter how many clan members you show my post to..... what they say has no effect nor does it in-validate on my opinion.
Here's why... because it's their job to SUPPORT you the fool.. no matter what you say or do...right or wrong... they have the fiduciary duty to back you up. That's what friends do, and that's what family do.
So yah... go ahead.... and show it to everyone you know... their answer will be.. " oh she's crazy dude.. just ignore her... why get all worked up ? not worth it de"... right ?
Well.. that's what I'd do to my friend too... even tho in my heart.. I think the other party is right.. and my friend is nuts.
Because when my friend come ask me for support.. I know they really just need to feel validated... so they feel good about themselves... now why would I deprive them of that.... it will be just cruel.. especially to a stubborn old man like you.
So there there... go live in your little bubble.... Mr right.. OK ? Good.

"Book of Songs" (1000-700 B.C.):
"When a son is born,
Let him sleep on the bed,
Clothe him with fine clothes,
And give him jade to play...
When a daughter is born,
Let her sleep on the ground,
Wrap her in common wrappings,
And give broken tiles to play..."
Coupled with their preference for male heirs leading to gendercide, sex selective abortions... they are heading for a population implosion.
I worked with a China lady not long ago ,and I ask her how are they doing with the one child policy.
She says its hard on her son.. as he has to take care of 4 elderly parents and his own family.
However, the China government is very generous with pensions and retirement safety nets... thats why they are not too worried about the one child policy.
So her main concern is that it's already difficult for her son to find a good wife.. because the ratio of men out numbers the women....
She thinks her grandson not be able to have a wife...so their lineage will likely end in his generation.
History is a great teacher.. but with few students - W.Durant.
In order to understand how./why we got to oue current sorry state... we need to find out where we came from....
So I highly recommend the book from W.Durant , Story of Civilisation - Our Oriental Heritage.
A very easy read.. and available for download from Amazon.com
Skip to the chapter on Family and Marriage... onwards...

LOL.. of cors... it's shameful these men thinks by shame-ing women... women will want to become mothers.
Seriously.. ANY woman who read these male losers posting will only make them LESS likely to want to marry these loser SG men, let alone have babies with them.
Whoever treats the female better wins her heart before getting her body.
These fools only want the body... morons. No different than those cowardly Talibans.
So to all the male dumb farks out there... get your acts together or NO babies for you !! UNDERSTAND !!!
