Sorry for the double. These work 'puters have hickups.
No, but if you think it fits, by all means take offense.
Seriously, there is a strong inverse correlation between I.Q. and reproduction in our society. The stupider people are, the more likely it is that they will have kids. And unlike religion, intelligence is genetically heritable. So my "scientific" reason for having more kids is to spam the gene pool with genes that at least score well.
But the real reason is that I just love 'em. Love making 'em too. (...he said, in a halfhearted attempt to bring the thread back on track.)
It seems to increase it. As they have more people, each has less. That makes them restive, as it does everywhere, which the Mad Mullahs and Angry Ayatollahs take advantage of, and feed.
Then why does my dog hump my leg?.
I'm just saying....
SD
I AM a woman. And I have given birth. I can say what I want. : )
Some folks who say that are honest ... and many are making excuses. Raising children properly isn't easy.
This is a good point. I wish I had this at my fingertips, but it was a study done on the benefits of meditation. I always think of nuns and priests and monks or those that serve God with celebacy when I read these studies on the benefits of sex.
Basically the article I am thinking of lists some similar benefits for those that meditate and I think this is important for those that may be in a situation that sex is not an option or are hindered because they in someway are behaving in a moral and decent manner, in a highly sexualized society.
There are ways that God has provided to get some similar benefits (not all of course) with meditation. If I find the article I will reference.
The article does not reference of course the possible draw backs of sex with the wrong person at the wrong time, such as Aids, Herpes, HPV, Crabs, Unplanned pregnancy, extreme heartache,improper partner spiritually. But who am I to dampen a light moment? :-)
Just wanted to put in a word 9and a shout out :-) for those that may not have sex as an option and may feel a little angry that they are being robbed of some of these life enhancing benefits for behaving righteously.
I got your scientific reasons right here.
Okay. I'm just going to have to ask you to take my picture down right now. People will talk . . . :-)
Read again what I said about primary reason and secondary reasons. Reading comprehension is good.
Cause he's neurotic? He needs some help from the "Dog Whisperer".
A person who only read the first few comments would come to the conclusion that conservatives don't enjoy sex - where in fact the opposite is true.
Women in married monogamous relationship are the most sexually satisfied... I suspect gay men are the least sexually satisfied -- if one looks at the number of devices, drugs and assorted "things" needed to get them going, an obvious conclusion is that for them to feel anything they've got to be artificially hyped ...up... (no pun intended)
Very interesting. Being unable to make children from scratch, I "ordered delivery". My kids are Korean, my wife and I are are caucasian. My children share their birthmother (but probably not birth fathers).
That makes my family a living study of nature/nurture . Things are furthur muddied because I do not believe in tying any aspect of a person to their race. So, although my kids are extremely intelligent and academically advanced (thus feeding the Asian sterotype), they are also slothful and self-centered (definitely NOT Asian sterotypes). They like video games and country music, and hate Korean food.
Color me a strong beliver in nurture over nature.
I love the Dog Whisperer. I wonder if he FREEPS. I need a Cat Whisperer big time!
Who are your calling Squirrel?
