Not important at all, though it would be nice. If I get married we will just open a daycare, easy money.
How much should the government subsidize parents who need childcare?

Sounds great, Clopin. You could get your own children's childcare taken care of that way, too. Now stick a good (painful) percentage of what you take in away in low to moderate risk investments, and retire rten to fifteen years early. Congratulations. :)
This is a very difficult question, and I don't really know the answer. When I lived in New Orleans, the standard practice was for poor girls to get pregnant as soon as they were physically able, drop out of school, and collect government checks while watching Oprah and letting Gramma raise the kid (Daddy being long gone). I'm not saying that practice was wide spread elsewhere in America--I don't really know. Pre-Katrina NOLA was an unusual and shocking place in many ways. But it was a really bad situation that led to children having children and lots of alienated and angry boys with no dads but plenty of gangs and guns.
So if a permanent violent underclass of destroyed lives is what it leads to then give nothing, because "nothing" would be better than that. But if there were accountability--genuine widespread accountability--then in my opinion it would be worth investing in; because "nothing" may be better than the nightmare I saw, but it's still not very good. And babies are innocent. So I don't know. It troubles me a lot, though.
Same question.
As much as the general population who subsidizes government is willing to pay.
How many large concerts have you attended in the last 5 years?
Zero--in almost 40 years.
How many baseball games have you attended in the last 20 years (approximately)?
0, then again we don't play baseball much in the Cayman Islands.
How many traffic tickets do you have in the last 10 years?
Several warnings, no tickets. It's the damnedest thing, Tony, but after a certain age they just let you go.
How many people have you known who have killed themselves?
None so far that I know of.Quote:

What should happen to frozen embryos a couple no longer needs?
Stem cell research, though I am absolutely and totally opposed to abortions past a certain date except in life threatening (for the mother) circumstances.
How many people do you know who have killed themselves? I was actually named after my dad's best friend who was a suicide.
3.
In what way are you most creative? And, which creative talent do you enjoy the most? (They may or may not be one in the same thing).
Were you named before he did it?
I've known four, by the way. One was a really good friend who I had lost touch with. I called last year and got his wife. "So where's -----?" I said. Awkward moment! The other three were neighbors. One was a "grown up" in the house across from the one where I grew up. Two were the son's of a neighbor after I grew up, about three years apart from each other. I always despised the guy, but no one deserves that.
If there's no next question, how about: do you have any severe allergies?
No, after.
I don't know where I'm most creative because I don't have any artistic ability yet. I think I'm relatively creative in my own thought though, often I'll read a sort of out there theory or something by Borges and know that it's something I've considered and thought of on my own.
Severe allergies? No, but I used to have what felt like life threatening asthma which was triggered by cats, dogs, dust and a few other things; when I was a kid we often had to go to the hospital so I could get some sort of vapour mask.
Should women be portrayed differently in video games?
no.

I answered already!
Okay I think I enjoy drawing/painting the most but I just started.
Sorry, only saw your first answer.
Does Buddhism appeal to you in some way?
