Topic | Why is it expected in society that we praise someone who has or is having a kid? |

If anything people should slow down on having kids. They take up more space and resources. Overlooking that overpopulation isn't nearly as big of an issue as people seem to believe, that's only for THIS generation. If nobody has kids, the race dies. However, even if there aren't enough kids, the system falls apart. Even if we scaled down the population, it needs to happen slowly. And, as a general rule, the countries with the highest birth rates tend to have lower life expectancies so you kinda need more kids to offset that. Far-Queue posted...

Granted, that's also just a way to bring new money into the state and build their economy around it. States like Vermont tend to be left behind. rogerskg1979 posted... helIy posted...i dont think people realize that the entire population of the world could all live comfortably in a place the size of Texas. A *lot* of China's space is unused. It's not like you have an even distribution across the entire country. Kigalas posted... Because its a pretty major thing, as having children upends your life. You go from normal people living to a place of massive sleep deprivation for multiple months or years, while learning how to care for a completely helpless being that they just send home with you and you have to figure it out - no manual included. And once you figure them out, then their needs change just enough that it feels like starting from scratch again. Becoming a parent is simultaneously the best and worst decision you can make in your life. Yeah, it's a huge sacrifice. Even if you're a shit parent, it's still a lot of extra work. --- (\/)(\/)|-| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. ...
