Who wants kids? They cost money, time, impede one’s career, commit one to another person, and social as well as sex life!

What is funny is that of the people I have in my social circle almost all are the parents of my kids friends. I even became much closer to my siblings when we all had kids, and hence had something in common (my brothers and sister are more than a decade older than I am). Without kids I wouldn't have a social life.

Most people today build their social life around their career. That's why most friendships are shallow and mutually beneficial, serving some need in a specified period of time under certain conditions.

The family, children and the faith based community is dying even here. This is a bad trend but the government and the bodies of laws that govern our societies abet their decay.

The consequence is what you see in Europe or even here to a slightly lesser degree, a decline in children, a decline in marriage, increased divorce, higher suicide rates, an increase in dysfunction among people since the nanny state CANNOT substitute for the family.

Even in the US we have this issue, simply to a slightly lesser degree. The way our societies have been dealing with it is to simply redefine normal, i.e. homosexuality, infidelity, certain drug use, suicide/euthanasia, family, marriage; the meaning or words such as patriotism, duty, honor, integrity... Our societies have engaged in the game or polemics and secular relativism, redefining what things mean while the world around us goes to $hit, and not because of global warming, lol.
