Have as many kids as you can support with your labor and make sure they can support themselves when they come of age. Thats the most important thing any human can do.

I wonder if Malthus really envisioned the long-term effects of his crapola theory. I’m not sure but he just might go down as the inspiration for the greatest system of mass murder in human history. I’d not be surprised to learn that the fires of hell are hottest where he is right now.

Most of the Western world is already in decline for reproducing their populations. Are you going to stop the Chinese, Africans, Indians, and Muslims from having babies as well. That is where the population growth is coming from, Not the USA!

We need to encourage conservative and religious families to have as many kids as they can afford. We as older folks need to help them with praise and attention. Babysitting and material support. When we are all poorer because of Rat policies, the kids we loved and raised will be taking care of us while liberals without kids will be on the curb.

And on the other hand those who know they can’t afford them should use contraceptives. (not abort)

I was talking to a relative yesterday about different political things, and we decided that the only way either of us could support welfare is if in order to receive it you have to accept being permanently sterilized.

I would be willing to give them free food, housing, health care, education, cradle to grave everything. But only IF they agree to be sterilized.

You are right on the money.

I have been thinking this very same thing. You go on welfare for a certain period of time with no effect, but after your allotted time runs out, yuo have to be sterkilized to continue receving welfare benefits.

And if you agree to be sterilized, I can possibly see even giving them a free college education or extra social security benefits or health insurance benefits.

You could literally wipe poverty out in a generation.

Glad to see some others think like I do.

I see your point, but I can’t say I’m for tossing the baby out with the bathwater on abortions. Under some circumstances it may be necessary to abort, like when it will cause death or great injury to the mother for the child to be brought to term, for example. Even most “Abortion” groups are willing to compromise on this point so I don’t think i’m out of line.

I think I read in a book somewhere that "The poor ye shall always have with you."
