by RheaWe need this to stop some abusers of the system from receiving an income solely for having children.
We are experiencing a population boom in this country which we can not afford and which is bad for the environment. We need to stop – as a society – effectively incentivising people for having large families. If they wish to have more children than two they should fund them entirely themselves and not expect taxpayers to do so.
I’ve raised counter-points to this argument before. Simply put: What happens to large families who are legitimately in need of actual benefits? Do they just allow the “excess” children to starve to death?

by joe challenor of the zeitgeist movementThe monetry system is now outdated and un-nessecary.It is a pyramid system of scarcity.Unequal access for people of the nessecitys and wants of life.We now have the technology and knowledge to create abundance.If we have abundance then the scarecity based monetry system becomes obsolete. A resource based economy will solve nearly all of the worlds current problems.No excageration.
I tell you what. You come up with a proper system, and demonstrate it with slideshows and diagrams and everything, and we’ll have a look at it. Because right now all you’ve sent in is a bunch of utter nonsense gibberish.
by Laura FellowesPaul and Rachel Chandler’s kidnap took place near the Seychelles on a boat at gunpoint. The British government have said they will not engage in agreements for ransoms. This is two peoples lives, their families, and the next innocent travellers this will happen to. Are the British Government really doing everything they can to help the Chandlers?
No, they aren’t. And given the circumstances, that’s exactly what they should be doing for reasons I’ve already stated.
And finally, two people who, I’m guessing, are vegetarian:
by MR Hngshin Devendra Dsramy-Williams of University of OxfordIt’s obvious that meats require far greater amounts of resources to produce than vegetables. Their environmental impact is also correspondingly greater. Given the need to reduce our aggregate consumption of increasingly scarce resources, it therefore makes sense to provide incentives for people to reduce their consumption of meat – via a tax. This should shift consumption to better foods like fruits and vegetables, which should also improve peoples’ health.
by Adam WelchScientific studies have proven that the meat and dairy industry produces MORE greenhouse gases than all of the world’s transport and aviation combined. In light of this, the government should tax the meat industry (including farmers, slaughterhouses and butchers) just as heavily as it taxes motorists.
But meat is delicious, so you lose the argument by default.

by Mr I GilmourAt the bottom of all voting slips should be a box marked “none of the above”. At the count should this box receive more votes than any candidate, the election should be repeated but none of the original candidates should be allowed to stand. This will mean that a vote actually can be used to “vote out” as easily as “vote in” politicians.
I can never understand why people seem to think this is a good idea. How is a “None of the above” option in any way good? Surely it’s a waste of time to get up, start the car, drive to your polling station, wait in line and then tick a box that basically say “I’m not voting”. You could probably stay in and masturbate two, maybe even three times.

by Miss Jade Tippingits a fair tax, 10 pound a year for cyclists to use public roads as any other form of transport requires tax, insurance, m.o.t, whereas cyclists dont need any of these to use our roads and with the governments new policy to keep the planet green they are forcing more and more people to use cycles for work etc, so there are more cyclists on the roads than ever before, i think most cyclists would not mind paying 10 pound a year to use public roads which would generate a very large annual income for the government to use where it is needed.
It’d be hypocritical of me to point out the people complaining about the 50p broadband tax and then turn around and say this idea here is ridiculous. That being said, cyclists account for a virtually negligible amount of wear and tear on city streets. £10 seems disproportionate to the amount of damage we’re doing, especially when you consider that one car alone pumps out twelvety-thousand billion billion yards of greenhouse gases a day. Possibly I am exaggerating.
And while I’m on the subject of the broadband tax…
by Leigh FavellWhy should we have to pay another tax to improve broadband speeds when we already pay tax on broadband.
BT have said the money raised wouldn’t come near to their estimates of the cost to get broadband to all homes.
Well that’s just because BT like to grab money, which explains those Direct Debit fees you also like to complain about.

This week’s Reject Rednesday takes place on a Saturday, because I want it to. So let us once again trawl through the ePetition site’s Reject Bin and pay heed to the braying and neighing of farmyard animals.
by Linda Homan (rejected)Please stop all migrants entering the UK. This includes our European partners. Residents from Europe should be allowed in at the rate of one UK person leaving – let in someone from Europe. This is a small island that is already overcrowded and we are facing huge unemployment without additional people. The argument that migrants help with work can no longer be used. We the British people are not prejudiced. However, if we are to remain the great nation that we have always been, we need to stop the madness that migration is bringing all over this wonderful country of ours!
Yes, because the “madness” going on in the UK these days is solely because of people clawing their way onto our shores like mindless zombies, hungry for the brains of employment, nourished only by the knowledge that the job they’re doing now has been stolen from a hard-working Brit.
The problem with people like this is that they’re complaining about immigrants taking our jobs in one breath, and then decrying “Benefit Britain” in the next. The irony of this is just sickening.

by Kevin BradleyChristmas Day is just that,one day,but now seems to last for three months or more.From sofas to food to presents we are bombarded day after day,week after week in the shops and on television from as early as September with companies trying to take money from us for Christmas.They don`t care about us,they just want as much of our money as possible.Quite apart from most people being driven mad,becoming sick and tired of the whole thing,so many people who can least afford it are spending much more than they can afford,causing untold hardship year after year.Indeed,many people are still paying for last Chrismas when the next one is on our screens.This used to be a time of year to look forward to but sadly,few now do. If Christmas was condensed to just the month of December it may re-kindle peoples enjoyment of it,helping them to possibly spend less and bring back the true meaning,which is not to line the coffers of big business. It is,after all,supposed to be a time for us to celebrate the birth of Jesus.
Poor guy. He takes this so seriously.

by Tony HumphreysI request that the Government scraps any plans to add 50p a month tax to phone lines to subsidise further broadband roll out. It is wholly unfair to tax my phone line to pay for someone else’s broadband, and it is as simple as that. It is recognised that rural areas do suffer a slower connection and higher costs, but they have fantastic views, clean air and a safer environment – its a choice people have to live in the country – and a decision they take. Please see sense, and stop this poll tax – broadband is not a vital service.
We’ve gone over this before – it’s 50p. All that means is you get to yam one less Kit-Kat in your gob every month. Can you really be so hard-off that you can’t make do without that extra £6 a year?

Remember Cathy Connor’s petition to prevent landlords from “discriminating against children”? Well apparently she sent it twice as today the ePetition admin team, in their endless, bounteous wisdom, authorised another, identical petition. It has one minor difference from the one we shared yesterday – an additional “s” in the URL. Genius.

by Mr Jan Paul GiergielRenting a property should not be the pain it is at the moment, as a Renter myself I am fed up of Landlords feel that they can dictate how you should use the property that you are paying them handsomely to occupy.
I believe that a landlord should only be able to demand that the property is in the same condition at the end of a tenancy as when the tenancy began. I feel it is unfair that they can impose silly restrictions i.e. No Pets. I feel that this is an infringement of ones human rights, I think that as owning becomes further and further away from the average person the tenant MUST be given more rights and freedom during a tenancy.
But it’s not your property. It’s theirs.

Christopher Bristow really likes his hydrogen-powered cars.
by Mr Christopher Bristowto combat climate change by the introduction and eventual change over of an alternative and non polluting feul of hydrogen gas.
by Christopher Bristowmore than 20% of uk CO2 emissions are produced from the nations car exhausts. The thought behind this petition is to advise the government to create a bigger incentive to car manufacteurers in producing hydrogen feul cell cars and to feul stations in providing hydrogen fill up points, to the eventual event of a switch over to hydrogen cars when a growing trade produces as if not more efficent hydrogen car than the standard petrol and deisel cars.
As pointed by Robert Llewellyn, who is famous for playing a square-headed robot in a sitcom and is therefore an expert on such things, hydrogen power actually expends more energy than is collected. You have to use a ridiculous amount of electricity on rather a lot of water to get a halfway decent amount of hydrogen and that, to me, seems rather wasteful.

All of these “enforced National Service” petitions are, I am sure, having a detrimental impact on my blood pressure. I may stop sharing them entirely. For now, though, here’s another one.
by Mr Alan MannThis may help and / or stop the violence that is currently happening in the UK with respect to other people’s lives. If this was compulsory then it may even make them think before some of their atrocious actions. Incidentally if this became a prerequisite, this law may be helping out more than one person in the future.
Sigh. I need to see a doctor. This isn’t healthy.
(Sidenote: I like to think that Mr Alan Mann is that gormless fella from Little Britain who went into a toy shop looking for a pirate memory game suitable for children between the ages of 4 and 8).
