The biggest issue for the future is the lowest of intelligence are outbreeding intelligent people.

The world will be a non benevolent monarchy in the future with a bunch of idiots controlled by the few.

Conservatives value family and marriage over casual hookups. Just because you are a free market capitalist doesn’t mean you are a real Conservative.

If affording it was the problem they would get on welfare. People don’t WANT kids

Their children don't necessarily identify as children.

People voted most of these taxes and regulations in. Democracy is the reason we have them

It will crash or it won’t matter because America will bring in even more immigrants. Hopefully we bring some that can actually integrate better

Like he did nothing else until he became a game show host? Just sat around turning orange, then POOF on NBC?

You teach children? We ARE in trouble.

Where did I say that I valued casual hookups more than marriage? I'll wait.

Lol. Free market economics is the basis for modern conservatism. Social issues cross all boundaries for people with open minds. "Real" conservatism is not a thing.

Responsible (smart) people don't make the decision to have children when they can't afford them. When they can afford them, and are comfortable enough in life to have children, they are higher in age than most, so they either have one or no children for fear of birth defects. That is countered by someone stupid who has been popping out babies since they were 17, and now has five or six at the same age. By the time each family hits 40, one has 6+ idiots, while the other has 3 smart people.

Smart people are being phased out, and we're subsidizing the growth of a dumber society. You could go so far as to say we're promoting it monetarily.

I live pretty cheaply but if I had a kid right now I wouldn't be able to give him/her the life I'd want it to have. I also recognize that I am not ready to be a father. I don't see this as having higher priorities, it is more a recognition of my flaws.


I'm not criticizing you, just the notion that the reason people have fewer kids is because they're more responsible. That may be true for some, but on the whole, I disagree.

The reasons are not hard to figure out. As the cost of day care and college spiral out of control it's simply too expensive to have lots of kids and be educated.

As a result, the population that is booming is those with subsidized housing, daycare, and non college grads.
