So what are you waiting for? go and have more people, people!



I read this arcticle and I have to say it made me think. Our society doesn't exactly like children at all. 40+ work weeks, dual family mother/father working or single parent working.

Social Security??


I don't think so...

So the population is going down. Where are we at now, 5 Billion people on the planet? 2050 is not looking good.

But just think, with fewer people there would be less crime, fewer people would starve, the risk of spreading disease would decrease...... and really, there is so much more.

Not saying that we should wipe out the entire human race or anything. Just that our life styles are causing a type of population control that isn't necessarily completely negative.

The basic logic behind "smaller population=low economy" is that with fewer people there would be fewer consumers. But if you take into consideration the current low employment rates current consumers aren't buying as much as you would think. With fewer people, the employment rates would go up, average salary would go up, and most likely the economy would eventually balance itself out. Yes, times will be difficult for a lot of people as the population begins to decline, but in the end, is it really all bad?

Honestly, this guy sounds more like one of those, "let's find another way to make women feel guilty about not keeping in their place, but don't let them know that's what I'm really saying" kind of guys. Afterall, why didn't he suggest that "daddy" stay home full time?

That's the lose-lose problem. Too many people means more crime, etc but less children means less social security for older people in the future.
