So even if there were no God to punish us for the slaughter, reality would still punish us.
Aborting 50 million babies over the years doesn’t help matters much either. Maybe that is the plan.
Our energy needs are too high, our cities are too crowded, our food production is inadequate, we have too many elderly and vulnerable people to take care of, we occupy too much land, it's the wrong land, blah, blah, blah.
At its heart, the Left is obsessed with diminishing the human population. They are a cult of death.
You got that right.
I am doing my part with a third child on the way. That said I fear for what kind of a country they are growing up in.
Good thing God is still in control, even when things look like hell.
The contraceptive/abortive mentality leans heavily left....
It also shifts power to those who DO have children.
They hate people, because their ideological father hates people.
It takes a Village to commit Obamacide.
You're kidding, right? Look at any major city in the U.S. to find hordes of low income children. Many municipalities are being over run with people standing with their hands out.
I don’t know what the answer is. It seems to be that kids are a huge investment, in time, money , resources etc. and in return they are supposed to take care of you when you can no longer work and do for yourself. What’s happened is that governments have stepped in and taken over this function, so instinctively people are avoiding having kids because, what the heck, we don’t need them. People don’t think this on a conscious level but subconsciously. Again this is pure speculation on my part, but it’s the only explanation I can come up with.
The upside in the US is that there are some groups which still have a very high birth rate; fundamental Baptists and Catholics. The Democratic party actually commissioned a study which showed that there base was graying while the conservative base was actually getting younger.
In addition to the loss of aborted babies, higher taxes mean couples both have to work and can’t afford to have as many children. The left is killing us every time we turn around.
A galling statement
and at a subconscious level,
probably driving a lot of
self-destructive behavior
Whereas, I agree that our reproduction rate is a concern, it's worth noting the infant mortality rate has declined significantly since the late 18th century, as has the mortality rate of children. Comparing rates from the late 18th century to present day needs to take that into account to be meaningful.
No, I am NOT kidding. Look at the groups where more children can be found. These are the groups that will have future power.....for better ...or WORSE.
People living in the West should have more children if we expect our superior set of values, based on Judao-Christianianity and reason to survive. Otherwise there are several inferior value systems which will replace them such as Islamofacism, Multiculturalism, Afrocentrism and Communism.
We just had a thread on here that claimed that the kids born 2001-2011 have more children than the boomers. I can see that as I have seen people having way more than two kids now a days. My parents had 3 children and we have 9 children between us. Many of my high school class has 3 and 4 children. A few even have 5 children.
Agreed but demographics don't lie. Ethnic Russian men have the lowest average life expectancy in a country where the Muslims population is increasing at an alarming rate. 50 years from now, what will the country known as Russia be like?
Ethnic Spaniards in Spain, where Leftist thinking(or lack there of) has taken hold and the birth rate is the lowest in Western Europe, will disappear in three generations.
The liberals think that our planet can only sustain 20 million people, and they should all be liberals. They think that euthenasia and starvation are commendable means of reducing the population. If you want to know why our fertility rates are falling, just watch tv. Young men don’t want the responsibility of children, they want to be children. Look at what happened to the Spears girls after they had children. Where are they? The young bimbettes want to be worshipped and Hollywood doesn’t worship a woman with a baby on her hip.
Islam is a culture which does not innovate, engineer or create anything technologically. They drive cars and fly planes only because they consume off of developed countries.
Were the world to fall to Islam, there would be massive loss of life due to war and starvation, followed by the various nations falling into primitive technology and primal culture as it was 1500 years ago following the fall of Rome.
