[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is clearly a testament to efficiency of birth control methods and deficiency of dual income economic model but obviously other factors are involved. [b]Probably number one being no-one wants to bring kids in such a messed up world.[/b]

It can't bode well for future of social services net. May be we need paranoid conservatives and their ban on women's rights? Or do we need liberals with open borders? [/quote]

You people are so stupid.

“Such a messed up world,” why? Because there’s a couple low-level skirmishes underway on the other side of the globe? Not enough quality teachers in public schools? A largely reviled one-term former president under multiple indictments is facing off against a barely coherent dementia patient to lead the free world (that one’s admittedly not great).

We have lives and homes and access to medicine, food, knowledge, entertainment, beyond what kings could have dreamed of for virtually all human history. Torture, rape, and child labor were 100% legal and routine for millennia until about 5 minutes ago in historical terms (and still are in “Palestine” and most other third world hellholes you guys love so much). Ghengis Khan roamed an entire continent skull-f$cking every village he encountered. WWII, all kinds of death and destruction arising from one man’s largely successful effort to exterminate 10s of millions of people. JNCO jeans in the late 90s and early 2000s.

Anyone not having kids because the world today is “messed up” is a navel-gazing idiot and we’re glad to have your weak sauce eliminated from the gene pool. [/quote]
Well said, and secondly, births are only trending down if you cherry pick the last few years and believe numbers without context.

Um, your chart lacks context and should show birth rates and not total births. In 1909 the population of the US was 90 million, in the 1950s it was 160 million, now it’s 333 million.

Either way, it’s good that people aren’t having as many children. We’re getting better at robots so they can do the work for future generations. [/quote]
Agreed. The point is births aren't collapsing even with lower rates. That's a good thing because it means population is stabilizing. Not something to refuse to have kids over.[/quote]
