He's asking the so-called men who won't take responsibilty for their evening of fun.
And that is just it, they do not want to take responsibility. That is what it is for most of them. Then there are those that have doubts (real doubts, not made up ones to get out of paying) about the baby's paternity, and you also have those that do not have jobs. And also think of the ones who are expected to pay but are not allowed to see their kids (small percentage but they are out there).

I have my kids and don't get any support. I think part of the reason is because the person who no longer has the children only thinks about themselves which is usually the reason why the couple are no longer together in the first place. I have heard so many excuses it's not funny. My favorite is " Well, I had to pay my bills." Apparently I have none to pay. LOL

most child support issues are pretty clear-cut-and-dry... in other words, one parent is unable to, or does not wish to, care for the child, therefore, it is a given that that person should then at least provide for that child financially. however, there are exceptions to this rule, as in my case. i had always been the primary parent in my childrens lives, and always, always wanted them. i have spent years of my life on bedrest to bring my babies into this world, had countless surgeries, and nearly lost my life. my ex husband was never a very active part of our childrens' lives, and was even pushing to have them live seperate lives from one another, him wanting custody of our daughter, because she's the older of the 2 and easier to take care of. i have always been a good mom. unfortunately, the guardian ad litem (attorney appointed by the state to oversee the best interests of the children) in my case was biased against me from day one, after having met w/ my ex first, and hearing his b.s. as well as that, she made untrue claims against me and slandered the legacy of my motherhood all over that courtroom, never once actually doing her job and investigating the facts. as is typically the case, the judge trusted the guardian ad litem had done the job she was entrusted to do, and ruled in favor of her "findings", and awarded primary placement to my ex. i was ordered at that time to pay $222 a mo. for child support. i have been in and out of court and jail for non-compliance, and only pay what i can at the last minute to avoid jail. it wouldnt be QUITE so bad, but for all the thousands of dollars ive paid in support since 2003, much of it in $1500+ lump-sum payments, and my children run around dirty and in rags, and dont even have dressers to put their clothing into at their dads house!!!!!!! when he gives half as much of a damn about those kids as i do, and starts treating them as such, i may be motivated about complying w/ this situation. ---either that, or he can pony-up the years on bedrest that i did, or go get an incision from his navel to his pubic bone----- then we'll talk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not all ppl who dont comply w/ these orders are "bad" or "deadbeat" parents...sometimes there is more than meets the eye. PS-- im currently back in court for custody, and the new guardian ad litem says i was "hosed" in my original divorce proceedings... the validation is unreal!! also, the old guarian ad litem in the case is no longer able to do such work.. seems shes been dismissed from this line of work because she was found to be out to make a name for herself around here by always awarding custody to the father. ...how interesting, huh?!
