Good news is life expectancy should drop accordingly. We'll correct back eventually.

This is really surprisingly true. My wife works in the child birth area and the amount of moms that come in with no dad, tweaking, having another kid at 18-24 years old and no insurance is absurd. A stable couple having a child is the minority. It’s sad.

They need to start going full feral cats on these moms. Spay and release them after they come in for their free baby delivery.

That's disgusting.

I thank God every day that I was able to make a career in the US military and retire as an Officer. I may be fat but I'm not a loser.

Friend,

It is very sad — evidence of a deep spiritual problem in our land. Fornication, drunkenness, sloth, and gluttony are all accepted because the world tells us not to judge anything, do what you want, and as long as you do not harm anyone else, anything goes. This new religion of America must be overcome by the powerful grace of our Lord. Jesus said, “Get up and follow me.” Let’s all start walking, Book of Common Prayer and Bible in hand. It’s time for some prayer hiking.

Yours,
TulaneLSU

I get that this is an anonymous board and no one believes each other but I can truly say my wife and I, 2 kids, are far better than every statistic in the OP. We are an EE(not even management yet) and a nurse. I feel like we are behind and then I see post like the OP. We are "rolling in it" per the metrics, how do these people sleep at night?!
