So the court and rape me over how much I have to pay in child support while restricting my rights to spend time with my child and have no say in how she is raised?
Child support doesn't work. You basically tell one parent he or she is responsible for the upbringing of the child, while the other parent has restricted access to their kids, no say in their upbringing, and tell them that a portion of their salary goes to the other parent?
And we wonder why society is so fucked up. Fathers walk because they can't afford to pay out 30% of their salary to the woman who won't let them see their child.
What a bullshit system. I thank god every day I never knocked anyone up. I have child, by my wife, and we are still going strong.

I agree with you that things aren't working very well as they are. I never said that the way things are right now is perfect. However, I do believe that babies have the right to support regardless of whether their mother was a gold digging bitch or their father was a loser alcoholic or whatever. The laws happen to agree with me in that respect, but they still have a lot of work to do to set things up so that actual parenting is shared equally.
Also, I don't understand this part: "Fathers walk because they can't afford to pay out 30% of their salary to the woman who won't let them see their child."
They wouldn't have to pay the support unless they, as you put it, "walk" so I'm not sure I follow the logic there.
