Hello,

Can someone tell me who caters least to families, children, and "no turn between 7-9 a.m." signs in the upcoming election?

Thanks!

I had never heard to people referred to as breeders before. You are right. It is inflamatory, and inappropriate for this discussion.

From the Urban Dictionary: Breeders (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=%20BREEDERS)

I first learned it over 10 years ago in San Francisco, but I am using definition #4. I thought it was a fairly common and widely used term.

I am tired of having to deal with legislation favouring parents/children while those of us who choose not to reproduce end up being taxed for it.

When you assume...

Urban Dictionary defines your definition as derogatory, and thus inflamatory in this context. The term assumes motives and misperceives shortcomings behind those who have children.

It would be akin to me calling a woman without children "barren", or assuming that she is childless purely because no man would want her to bear his children. Neither necessarily may be the case, both are inflamatory, both make unwarranted assumptions, and both insult.

Not having children was your choice. The rest of us need not be punished for it. An educated society benefits all.

In short, this is a diverse group of people, so, respectfully, please choose your words more carefully in the future.
