Hello!

Mom of six here! (-:

[PGR88]

so-called “youth unemployment” is caused purely by statism and socialism.

“The World Has a Problem: Too Many Young People”
Wrong. Too many young people who don’t amount to anything, who murder, rape and burn. You know who they are.

[Justa]

Yay, more FReepers on the way.

[TADSLOS]

Nothing that a lil’ ol’ world war can’t solve.

[old gringo]

i’m just happy to learn i’m rich.

A fourth of humanity is now young (ages 10 to 24).

It might not have been that high if the generation before them weren't aborted.

I don't think of them as useless mouths. I think of them as future payers of my generous Social Security benefits. The fuel for my private jet to take me from my Aspen condo to my yacht in the Barbados isn't cheap.

Of course, to pay taxes they have to get jobs, don't they? Dang it, I knew there was a flaw in the plan...

[ClearCase_guy]

I think of them as food.

My son and dil have only one child, as do most of their friends. Seems to be pretty typical for Caucasian friends of theirs who are among the slightly over 50 age group. Younger couples at our church though are having lots of children and all their Sunday School classes are huge and bursting at the seams.

Bonus’s for abortions. Cash to be sterilized. Up the liberal agenda. /s

I’m 26 so maybe you’re on to something!

[MeganC]

*going to be* 26

[FrankR]

Too many FERAL young people you mean.

[Tax-chick]

Yeah, we’ve met. I have only nine at home. I say that because it makes it sound less overwhelming.

Also, we’re down to only three reptiles, two nocturnal carnivorous felines, and a floating population of arachnid companions.

[MeganC]

Nine! Wow, congrats! That’s so awesome!
