Yeah, Asians get called 'yellows' but it doesn't make sense. Really, none of the colors make sense if you think about it. Whites - they have peach skin...olive complexions too. Reds - they have dark skin that is more bronze, dark tanned. Yellows - similar to reds...though they can have olive complexions too. Blacks - they have very dark skin but let's face it, they aren't 'black'. Also their tones vary too. In the end, none of these 'colors' are accurate and are just lame to have but that's how people wanted to classify others. I don't really use any of the terms if I can help it except for 'black' or 'white' because it's so darn common and both Caucasians and African Americans use them freely.
I wouldn't say they have no rights to be parents. However, I would say that it is time to analyze their lives and to stop being so selfish. If a child birth is planned for and people want children, it can be a very beautiful thing. However, if they just get married and are having unprotected sex, expect to not have a kid etc...then they are screwed up in their thoughts. The same goes for teens that go around having unprotected sex. Sometimes though things happen. There is a natural burden with having children, whether kids want to hear it or not and even the best planned out parents get tossed loopholes. There are times when any parent could wish they could put the kid back. There are times when kids are mad at their parents and ungrateful and that can drive any parent up the wall. Emotions change in people and it's normal to get frustrated at any situation if it's not going all too well. The key to happiness with children or anything in life is to stop putting expectations on things. Expectations and selfishness are the two reasons I think that parents fail at having kids often. Kids are going to be themselves so placing too much on them is going to be really hard to do and often will lead to disappointment. Also, placing too many expectations on the parents beyond doing the best they can is just going to mean the parents can't live up to the tasks either. Parenting is a day by day thing and though you want to plan for things like putting away money for them for college and ensuring they can go to the doc and dentist and get the best education they can...well anything else is just up in the air and better left that way. Some people though really don't want to live that way and it makes them unhappy. Selfishness is the other thing. Too many adults are not willing to cater their lives around having a third, fourth or whatever new member to their homes. Especially since now they have to take care of them and be called out of work, go on errands etc that take away from 'private time'. If parents are stuck on the fact their lives have to change, they aren't ready for the big step. Having kids doesn't mean 'life is over'. It simply means that now you have to alter things in your life so that the new persons are included and still take time out for the parents too. I think having kids would be cool when I'm ready for it financially because then I could play games and sports with them, go take them on vacations to see things and well watch them grow up. Of course, this takes away from time at the bar or whatever. I suppose though that means that the person I'd be having kids with would be someone I consider a friend as well as more than that so I can stand being around her. Makes sense, huh? Of course, parents need to get away now and then but that's also what a babysitter is for, or paying a relative if possible. The issue is a serious one and I do think that parents can learn to appreciate their 'new lives' more but have to be willing to do so because it is much different than living single or with someone else. You have to make time and have the feeling inside that now your life is bigger than before, not smaller. Too many parents feel life is done with and they are just there for the kids but really if they feel instead that they are there for the 'family' including themselves, they will feel a lot better. Unfortunately, there really aren't books or guides on being good parents and feeling the right way. When a kid is young though, there shouldn't be such tension if they learn to think and feel that there is a great thing to having kids such as the activities you can do with them that make you look like a dork if you do them without kids. :) Teenage years can be hard for a parent to cope with but if they've instilled good things in the kids at young ages, those teens won't be so bad either and parents and teens can become closer because you can loosen the cord. There are problems that happen with kids at any age, but keeping positive IS part of the parents' jobs. However, I wouldn't just say it's the parents' fault and all. They can turn things around but sometimes anyone needs to have a helping hand to see where they are going wrong.

I don't get why they say that about Obama. He can vote against the move but if the majority of Senators are going to vote for it, his vote is just 1 and what's it going to matter? The point is no one is forcing these people to do this unless they are bought out...which happens with lobbyist deals. If people are and were against this they need to be heard and do something about it. It's causing a stink but obviously not a big enough one. I am strongly against this and the thing to do is write the congressman/woman in your area. That's really all we can do and hope the votes come out the right way. We've already gone to war off skewed votes. We don't need to lose our personal freedoms now.
