[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"ah, I think it is because of the selfishness of this ME ME ME generation. Sad. They will regret it, and they are destroying their societies as a result. "

sad that people limit their kid-making to the number they genuinely want (so children are wanted and not simply accepted) and actually afford?  yeah, I suppose that's so sad. Everyone would be much better off to simply keep having babies regardless of the ability to support them![/quote]

sad that they think they want zero kids.  these are wealthy countries, the families can support one or two kids each.[/quote]

NO what is sad is people who have kids because they "think" that is what they should be doing or just because they can financially "support" them.

What is selfish is having children just "because" that is what everyone else is doing or just because you  have money. Money and wealth does not buy the love of a child.

The decision to have children, IMO, should be based upon FIRST your desire to bring another human being into the planet, the desire should come from a genuine place and with lot of thought. SECONDLY you should be able to support those children and provide them with opportunity, which is based on your personal finances.

I respect people who choose not to have children.  There are far too many people ALL OVER THE PLANET who have children that they cannot support. I'm from south Africa and there are far too many people having children all over Africa that they cannot support, feed, or care for.  The number of orphans is tragic.  In additiona to fighting malaria, they should be passing out copious amounts of birth control, probably in the form of IUD..

well, coming from Africa you are looking at this from a completely different perspective.  One of too fast population growth as compared to catastrophic country killing population decreases.  in 45 years the populations of these counties will have been cut in half - how can a small younger generation pay off the debts of an aged society?  This kind of issue leads to revolution and war.

so it is selfish - selfish to your country and to your culture.
