[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got my citizenship recently and grew up abroad. I find this entire thread fascinating. America is such an individualistic country, I don’t think I’ve seen this anywhere else. There seems to be a notion that because having kids is an individual choice, they also are that individual’s burden and they are expected to carry that burden alone with absolutely no help from society. [b]Yet having kids is a societal good[/b] and an aging population is dangerous for society especially now with ppl living longer. Who is supposed to look after you when you are older though? I’m not talking about individual arrangements. I’m talking about the nurses, the doctors, medical staff etc. Who builds the roads, houses, and infrastructure? Provides goods and services? Pays into social security? U know all the things needed for society to function? These are other people’s children. So there needs to be a way to figure out how to make work compatible with having families. Sure many of you can hire care but who looks after the family of the person you hire? Do they have affordable childcare? If we want to remain functional as a society we need to stop thinking in such an individualistic manner. Back home, the village literally raises the child. What’s America’s solution? [/quote]

Fewer humans would be better for world society overall. We want fewer roads, houses, infrastructure. [/quote]

+1. Went to several national parks recently -- they were so crowded it was unbearable. There are just too many people, and no need to add even more. [/quote]
So your solution is for humanity to just die out altogether? That's rather extreme.[/quote]

Obviously the rest of the world (without extreme views or individualism values) just can’t help themselves immigrating, I say we are fine. [/quote]
