oh so that's why the biggest school in Germany that I went to only had 32 students... [img]tongue.gif[/img] And that also explains my lack of play-mates while in kindergarten... LOL I was always stuck playing as the badguys in our uneducated roleplaying games... *sigh* I still think that i learned everything that I ever needed to know in kindergarten...

Did you know that the death rate in the former Soviet Union actually EXCEEDS the birth rate? I guess nobody wants to have kids in such horrible conditions. By 2020, the USSR will have a lower population than America did in 1900!

I've only read excerpts of the book, but Pat Buchanan makes a lot of these points in his book, "The Death of the West," where he shows that traditional Western civilization is gradually being replaced by other nations with much higher birth rates. For instance, in some parts of eastern Russia, the Chinese outnumber the Russians by 10 to 1. It is a similar situation to American history where white settlers moved in and pushed the Indians and Spanish out through sheer weight of numbers. In the US, the Roman Catholic Mexicans (who don't believe in birth control, and do believe in large families) are taking over the southwest. In fact, some Mexicans talk about the "reconquista" of their lands in the US. White people are already a minority in California.

I'm not racist, I just don't think that there is any reason for anyone to have large families anymore (including the white Mormons). With economic pressures the way they are, and the rapidly shrinking ability of the Earth to sustain such a large population, it is irresponsible for any couple to have more than two children.

Related to that, in our Ed Psych text we just learned that, as a teacher, the best expectation to have of US families is none at all. There really is no standard family structure any more here, and that means that kids grow up in very fragmented households. That tells me that a lot of people who are having kids are really too immature to create a stable life and family for themselves and their children, and that they should not be having kids at all. In fact, they've told us to refer to "your family" not "your parents."

Nah, I think we're just careful!!! We don't just screw anyone here (well, not every week)......

We don't need more babies, there are too many people in this country as it is.......You say there isn't enough people to fill jobs, but there are tons of people unemployed...

Culture and economics affect birthrates. In societies like ours where everything is, "learn,learn,learn-work,work,work! If you don't keep up you're a failure!", we have less children simply because we have less time. They can stymie your career and it takes longer and longer to get that career these days! ! In impoverished countries, children are eventually EXTRA income and someone who will hopefully care for you in your old age.
