[Opinion] A theory about having babies

[Ancalagon]

All I can hope for is that the OP is infertile.

Why the hate? He posted a news article about fertility declining in developed economies. Did he trigger you?

Africa i would agree , however Asia ? A list of 190 countries , we have Taiwan , Japan, South Korea , Thailand and China all in the lower 40 countries.

Total Fertility Rate 2022

Asia specific https://www.indexmundi.com/map/?t=0&v=31&r=as&l=en

Asia is slowing down, simply not at the same rate as Western Europe.

I said exactly that .

You're a woman?

Are you assuming my gender?

 

[Mila]

People had 10 kids back then because half used to die either at birth or as infants.

Looking at my family tree it's sad what they went through in those days, losing babies so often.

One for a Heir and one for a spare.

One for a Heir and one for a spare.

Actually it was 12; 6 Male, 6 female. Now it's three, one of each.

If each couple only have 2 kids our population should stay same or decline slowly .

I'm asking the question, so no.

pulling your leg.
Yes. I Have two X chromosomes.
I identified as a cat when I was 4 so I guess in today’s society my mom would have given me cat hormones and not assumed my specie

Phew, close call! Careful!

Just imagine if @Mila was one of those! You'd have to answer to the SAHRC, have your face plastered in the media, get calls at home after some SJW warrior h@ck3d you ...

Ummm not in all countries.

Umm is the sound made in dumb.

Personally think it's education levels as well as budget. Kids are not cheap...

True. Proven by now that the more education a girl has, or is allowed to have, the fewer children she will bear.

 

[Pineapple Smurf]

it depends where you come from, we have 1 guy at work who has just had his 6th kid last week, he is from North Africa.

100% this, the less educated tend to have many kids and leave the upbringing to fate / government handouts.

Those who take personal responsibility for actually raising every child they have (i.e. "educated" people) will naturally moderate themselves as time and money is certainly not infinite.

Really don't think fertility makes a difference in the big picture.

Indeed. Or my back-fence neighbours who have 4. They're both White South Africans.

SO's Brother in America has 4. ( They are well off.. very well)
He says in his part of the country it is considered a small family.


SO's mother is pissed off with me for not having babies.
Told her if she wanted more grand children she should have had more babies.
Needless to say I'm not popular cause all the grandbabies are in the states.

It is a matter of choice.
Contraception has made it possible to say I like sex but are not interested in PJ drill and diapers.

Condoms are free.
Poor people should stop using being poor as an excuse. 6 babies at 6 daddies isn't because you are poor it is because you are stupid.

 

[konfab]

I don't mind if people decide not to have children, all the more space for me to propagate my superior genes .

To all my haters on mybb: there will be more of me on this board in 20-30 years time

Afaik, Members of Watchtower, Catholics and Mormons aren't allowed to use contraceptives... Islam as well I think?

That isn't the reason. Just about all social classes are vastly richer nowadays than they were 80 years ago.
