Messed Up World

I was talking today with a guy who has a lot of problems… I’ll give a quick recap. Four kids with the woman who ran off with his best friend. He gets served with jail time and a personal protection order after flying off the handle with her and her new beau. That was six months ago, and since then: his former girl got Chlamydia from her new guy, he got another girl pregnant and he has been served papers for child support.

Here’s my problem with this and many situations. This guy has four kids with his former girl who was ‘stolen” by another man. So, he is going to get a child support order now that will take all the money he legitimately earns in order to pay for these kids.

I’ve seen guys in this situation that will circulate from job to job trying to stay ahead of the Friend of the Court garnishment orders. I’ve also seen these guys work out cash and payment-in-kind deals in order to stay clear of the friend of the court, and I’ve seen them start their own businesses.

I find it easy to condemn the men for getting in the situation in the first place. I guess the women or at the very least the women’s fathers are equally to blame. The idea that they would engage in sexual congress with some to the complete trash for men that I’ve seen in these situation is beyond my understanding. At least prostitutes are smart enough to ensure the guy has the money to pay to play.

I think there are two obvious solutions to this. First, fathers have a responsibility to be pillars for their daughters. They should teach their daughters what real love is, and what an irresponsible letch is. Second, the law should not allow fathers of illegitimate children to have any parental rights or have any parental responsibilities. I could actually see the logic of illegitimate children being automatically eligible for adoption by law.

I see this problem growing. This guy is about to have his fifth illegitimate child born. Most couples are have two kids or maybe three. What kind of life are these kids being taught? They will perpetuate the problem… I guarantee... Makes me think of the old song, "Jesus is the answer for the world today..."
