Everyone Must have More Children!

But just think, with fewer people there would be less crime, fewer people would starve, the risk of spreading disease would decrease...... and really, there is so much more.

Not saying that we should wipe out the entire human race or anything. Just that our life styles are causing a type of population control that isn't necessarily completely negative.

The basic logic behind "smaller population=low economy" is that with fewer people there would be fewer consumers. But if you take into consideration the current low employment rates current consumers aren't buying as much as you would think. With fewer people, the employment rates would go up, average salary would go up, and most likely the economy would eventually balance itself out. Yes, times will be difficult for a lot of people as the population begins to decline, but in the end, is it really all bad?

Honestly, this guy sounds more like one of those, "let's find another way to make women feel guilty about not keeping in their place, but don't let them know that's what I'm really saying" kind of guys. Afterall, why didn't he suggest that "daddy" stay home full time?

Where are we at now, 5 Billion people on the planet?

Closer to 6,5 Billion.... http://www.ibiblio.org/lunarbin/worldpop

 

geez I thought four kids was enough, you want me to make more?(not that the creating isn't fun but....)

So what are you waiting for? go and have more people, people!

No way! 2 kids is enough.

I actually feel guilty about bring my kids into the world... t'was not thinking too clearing during conception though but if I or for that matter most of knew what we learn as we grow older maybe "most" of us would not even be here today? hehe

t'was not thinking too clearing during conception

Doreen....does anyone?....

BTW.....'clearly'....

How did that word get like that? hehe
thank you Mr. Spell checker

and bring? = bringing
Jafo are you changing my wording?

/me needs to jump back into bed

I mean I need to wake up (Bed is not a safe place) hehe j/k

The world is overpopulated as is. As the pop grows so does the percentage of freaks.

/me wonders if she is included in that classification.



Probably *s*

I think I'm doing the world a favor by not spreading my DNA around...

Indeed...

Yes sylva you me and everyone else here falls under the freak catagory.

I am NOT a freak....I'm a......

 

 

....OK....never mind....

That's the lose-lose problem. Too many people means more crime, etc but less children means less social security for older people in the future.

Doreen needs to jump back into bed

Isnt that what got you lookin into this thread?

(and I would start having more kids, but I'm only 17..... )

MORE, Cerebro?

How many do you have?

I'd love to have more children, but I just had a huge lunch and couldn't eat another thing!

Wife's 80% effaced, 2+cm dilated and the baby's at negative one station.....we're working on it

We've got one, a boy, and I would like to at least have a sibling for him, but right now he's going through the TERRIBLE twos. In foct, when I got home yesturday evening she told me if I even look at her in that way ever again she'd kill me in my sleep. (She'd had an especially rough day with him that day) So I guess a sibling's out for now.

/me has one and that is eeeeeeeeeeeenough...............



Wife went to the doctor to ensure that it was the last also.


Btw I have two frinds with eight each I thin they make up the extra 1.3 that my wife is supposed to have

sapphira thinks that it's just ot that simplistic. fewer people will not mean less crime if the fewer people are a bunch of freaks. behavior is affected by numbers of people, perhaps, but ultimately it is about values...
as to Social Security, it wasn't ever supposed to be a sole payment for retirement anyway, so START SAVING AND INVESTING for your future. to not do this smacks too much of letting the government have absolute control over sapphira's life, and she doesn't like that....
besides, typically a new waeve of immigration produces a larger working base to pay for entitlements of preceding groups, so perhaps we should welcome and benefit our newcomers a bit more kindly? after all, at some point all of our families were at that particular stage of the great capitalist experiment that we know and love....
as to women's guilt, the tables have turned and women who stay at home typically feel more guilt in our current culture [question at social functions to stay-at-home: so what do you DO with your life?]
sapphira thinks she is going to relax and have as many children as she is comfortable with and be happy and content.....she cannot solve the world problems alone

I don't know, when I take a serious look around the world I feel horrible I'm responsible for bringing my kids here... (But I have no doubt I'll be paying back for it until I die)
