You don't think there is any benefit to having fewer people to support.
- Less poverty
- Less use of natural resources
- Not adding to the child care shortage problem
- Less absenteeism from work due to child care concerns
Another great post. Nice work.
That's a lot of detail. I must have missed that thread but it does explain some things.
Do you really think those people were actually having kids for the good of society or do you think they were accidents or just shitty people teaching their kids to be equally shitty.
There have always been kids with bad parents. My wife and I both have the mental scars from constant bullying to know it.
Too bad I didn't proof read it before I posted. I fixed my their to there mistake.
I didn't know anyone considered this a bad thing. Seems strange, plenty of people having kids out there.
The same thing could be said for men who choose to go single and childless. And I also said that individually people are free to make those choices, but as a society it becomes selfish.
This is exactly it. I would care a lot less if we have a birthrate of 2.1 children per woman overall. But too many people are deciding not to have kids. And sadly it's the people who are best equipped financially to care for children who do that.
I'm sure everyone loves their careers . . . but your careers don't love you. People don't die wishing they spent more time at work.
I was responding to the post that I quoted about having kids for the future of the country. And my point still stands, people should have kids because they WANT to have kids, not because they think the country needs it. When you have even more parents that don't want to be parents, then you have more shitty kids.
I'm not even really sure what you're attempting to get at with your post.
Bro, do you not even Harrison Butker?
Because some people Harrison Butker in this thread. Big time.
Elon Musk believes it’s his duty to procreate and it seems pretty clear he’s a pretty shitty father.
I think it's less a problem of single and childless and more of an issue of people who are in long term even married relationships but prefer to be DINKs for the rest of their lives.
I don't know very many people who are perpetually single or hop from one relationship to the next at my age. I do know some that are DINKs or chose to only have 1 kid.
Again on the whole when too many people make these choices it damages society.
I've known that all my life. Learned that back 30 years ago when being weird was an offense worth a daily beating.
I mask most of the time but they still havn't beat it all out of me yet.
cons: it selfish not to have kids
cons: if you can’t afford kids don’t have them
cons: if you can’t afford kids don’t have them
How about this? No, people who don't want kids or are shitty parents shouldn't have kids out of obligation because the country needs it. At the same time, those families that do want more kids and are good parents and will contribute to providing the next generation, that our country does things that incentivizes and rewards it and makes it less burdensome to do so.
Trust me I think the schools should be held accountable for their failures to combat bullying.
But we do need to get the birthrate back up to 2.1 or our society will face more problems because it's oldest generations decided that it was all about them.
Boomers did that with tax cuts. Millennials and Gen Z are doing it with not having children.
Well Jr. Here I am fixing you Kraft Mac n Cheese instead of going on that month long backpacking trip because I had to replace myself. Stfu and eat it you little ingrate….
This doesn't help your argument.
Which party generally tries to do that and which party does not?
Which do you vote for?
I don't consider it a ponzi scheme. A ponzi scheme is where you take someone's money say you are investing it and then spend it on yourself. You occasionally get new people into the system to pay off the others but no one knows what you are doing.
Social security and medicare are a covenant with society. That covenant is that you take care of the elderly and the disabled and the next generation will take care of you. It becomes a problem if there is no next generation.
NOT all single people are so because of choice. Nor are all childless people childless because of choice. Just ask schoolmarms of old and how about nuns and priests.? And those with fertility problems? That said if there is choice, it's their choice.
Harrison Butker is right. The world needs more Harrison Butker’s and less Travis Kelce’s. If given the chance you would rather make love with Travis Kelce than a strong conservative woman.Bro, do you not even Harrison Butker?

Gotta put them in their place, right Northern?! Show em the back of the hand occasionally as well, amiright?! God you're a tool.
You are becoming a message board advertisement for birth control.
what is the .1? Like birth a hand like Mae Young or something?
So you won't acknowledge that immigration can supply any of the bodies you are looking for?
My problem with boomers was the constant tax cuts they voted themselves while watching the problems pile up for young people then deciding they still need another tax cut.
Their parents laid down a foundation of relatively inexpensive post secondary education and affordable housing. Boomers collectively took that, decided not to fund post secondary education and took the extra money they got from tax cuts to buy investment and rental homes, left very little homes for their children to buy. Then voted themselves another tax cut because they still didn't feel like they had enough.
The cool part here is that this is solely your opinion. You see not having children as selfish. I see it as just another life choice in a long list of life choices everyone can make. There's no selfishness in living life how you want to live it. I don't like babies/toddlers. At no point in my life have I ever wanted one. Do I owe America one? **** no, I don't.
Anyone that thinks people "owe" or "need to contribute" a child to society has a very dumb, narrow minded view on things.
