Civilizations end when women refuse to have children.

And what of the men who choose sex with themselves?

All have sinned IMHO.

It’s A mess out there. The current generation doesn’t even know there are two genders. They don’t know how to socialize. They don’t believe in God or his institutions, like marriage. And yeah, they are selfish.

From the article: We need to become a society that once again emphasizes the importance of marriage and children, putting sacrifice over personal ambition and family over autonomy.

As DOGE is exposing, the globalists wanted tax slaves. Instead, Atlas shrugged.

Remove the personal income tax. That the Fed can print money at will proves the income tax was only about control.

As a man that raised a lot of other peoples kids.
The problem is giving women such power that they can force fathers to pay to raise kids while the woman has decided
she wants someone else.
Kids become a tool to get “even”. Been there done that.
My mother had 4 husbands and I never saw any abuse on the man’s part.

Just so you don’t think I’m being mean
I’m going on 48 years of marriage to the same woman.
We only knew each other 2 weeks before we married.
I learned what not to do. when I was a kid.
I’m not a pussy sort of guy.

This is the great crisis of the next century. I recall a homeschool conference speaker once joking that by his math, even if no one else switched between public and home schooling, in 5 generations we'd outnumber the public schoolers.

That is to say, our society is composed of different subgroups; the major part of American society is not reproducing (and the more leftist you go, the more the birthrate plummets). But Amish/Mennonites and conservative homeschoolers are still growing themselves - the Amish alone would simply take over the world by sheer numbers if the trends never changed.

Of course, they will at some point. But in some cases the trends won't change until very rough things happen that force them to change. Like a collapsed society going back to the dark ages, and thus cancelling out amongst the survivors all the cultural factors that led to the birth dearth.

I have all kinds of scenarios running through my mind on this topic. Like the North Koreans overwhelming the South in a few generations, even if they remain backwards cultists. Or Africa, the last bastion of population growth, once again becoming the target of a new global slave trade as declining nations elsewhere make desperate grabs for workers with euphemistic "guest worker programs."

Boys are being trained up to have sex with a computer image..I mean it’s less messy with no necking and hugging and all that stuff...sex with an actual female is so old fashion let alone breeding.

planned inflation has about reached its end game. Everything costs too much now for someone young starting off from zero.

Because of planned inflation, every 20 years every thing doubles in price at a minimum. So young people starting off with zero fall further and further behind. Yes, a handful of jobs that require massive investment in college pay more also, but those are the minority. For everyone else the vast majority, it is impossible for a young person with no college degree or only a little college to ever have a real chance anymore.

The American dream is over for most. And it is sad.

It is very much in one’s self interest to have kids. Everyone who gets old enough gets feeble. Having kids means you have people who know you and care about you. It is the natural order of things. Parents take care of children when the children can’t take care of themselves. Children take care of the parents as the parents lose the ability to take care of themselves.

its not the lack of huge breasts, it is because they are 300 pounds with an attitude.

Bra,
In the dark it only matters that you put your pecker in the right hole.

There's actually a LOT wrong with this article, as well as some of the comments.

There are far to many ILLEGAL ALIENS and unwed parents having children! Get rid of the the damned Invaders and their kids, and that solves one problem.

Then there is the group who have a LOT of no father/s in the home ( unwed, never married mothers), who rely on the government ( OUR TAXES ) to take care of them and are lousy mothers. We can't deport most of these, but do need to make it more difficult and less lucrative to be in this situation.

What this article is ignoring, are the Millennials and Gen Zers who are all for marriage and having kids, who are being ignored. So all we ever read/hear about the the other kinds, who probably should NEVER be parents anyway!

So here ARE a FEW questions to ponder: 1) How many children should people have, on average, and WHY? Do NOT use the Biblical "BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY" as a reason! 2) How much is today's "culture" to blame for people not marrying and/or having children and how much is it the fault of the parent/s that these last two generations, as reported in the MSM, have to do with it?

Not all.

My oldest son has been married for two years now. My DIL had a miscarriage 6 months ago. They were devastated, but are trying again.

My youngest is engaged; the wedding is already set for 2027.

The middle one has several chasers but he’s finishing college first.

It helps that they saw their parents remain a loving, committed couple through thick and thin. When we said until death us do part, we meant it.

Yes it is sad.

I think housing costs are a factor. In many parts of the country , you can earn a comfortable six figure income, but still can’t afford a house. Young people today are handicapped financially, in ways previous generations were not.

And this financial issue may well keep people from marriage and family as life goals.

I am not at all familiar with the system, so am bewildered by the statement that the population currently receiving Social Security benefits is 342 millions, whilst the population of the United States is at this time 335 millions. Typo, or are there lots of double dippers?
