‘Do it for Mom’ campaign wants Danes to have even more sex
The Washington Post ^ | October 4, 2015 | Rick Noack

Denmark has a problem: At some (still quite distant) point in the future, its population will disappear because people aren't having enough babies.

Now, the Danish travel company Spies says it might have found a solution. Its campaign "Do it for Mom" encourages wannabe grandmothers and grandfathers to "sponsor" trips abroad for their adult children. Studies have shown that Danes have much more sex when they are on vacation.

"Send your child on an active holiday and get a grandchild within nine months," the company says on its Web site.

"The Danish welfare system is under pressure. There are still not enough babies being born, despite a little progress. And this concerns us all," a video for the campaign states. Denmark has one of the world's most generous welfare systems, and it will need more young workers to help pay for it.

Aren’t the muzzie immigrants with their 10 kid per family approach making this problem go away? Not to say it won’t be replaced with a new problem....

If we allow the Muslims to outbreed us and then eliminate us, it’s our own fault.

It says the “Danish welfare system is under pressure.” Thats why they need more Danish babies. So they can grow up and support the immigrants on welfare.

Too many young couples find out too late that children are a lot more important (and more satisfying) than “stuff”. The Danes might do well to recruit some of the yuppie types in this country rather than playing Russian roulette with Muzzie hordes.

In addition to pumping up the Danish population (yes, I know, a double entendre), they could give the mossies free vacations back home and cancel their visas and citizenship while on vacation. The kids the mossies left here, convert them to Christianity. This would solve so many issues in Denmark.

I don't know if this chart is accurate, but its sources are listed:

http://www.johnstonsarchive.net/policy/abortion/ab-denmark.html

If those numbers are valid, there has been a substantial drop in the number of abortions by Danish residents in recent years: 28,405 in 1977 to 15,111 in 2014.

Mark Steyn in “America, Alone” blames the demise of Christianity and nihilism for declining fertility rates. If you don’t believe in God and an afterlife, you just become hedonistic and there’s no point to having kids. I think it also goes back to the “lost generations” caused by WW I and WW II which almost completely wiped out the cohort of marriageable young men in Western Europe.

Can’t these younger couples look to older folks who grow old with no family and start making plans not to end up like that?

What....and give up on hedonism? lol

These young people must "find" themselves. So what if by not having children these young wastrels are destroying their country and by extension western civilization. More important to travel to other countries and be clothes designers or some other witless avocation.

Socialism needs a lot of people,to steal from, so it can give that stolen stuff to others the state deems more deserving.

If this is what the really believe is good, they need to die off. Horrible ideas have negative comsequences.

One would think so. But they are so focused on getting the lasted I-Phone, perfect overseas vacation or some other trinket.

I just turned 60 now and still think sex is great, wonderful, marvelous and a gift from God. But as thrilling as intercourse and orgasm are, children are, by far, the happiest and longest lasting consequence.

It’s simple really. Abolish welfare and your birth rates go up.

So you're saying only cowards survived the world wars to procreate?
