Do you think that your grandkids would tell you once they reach the age of 18 that they would rather not have been born?

In 30 years, the USA will be a third world country. Ever been to Detroit?

My wife and I live in Western NC on Lake James (thank God), but when I travel to Detroit, Los Angeles, all I see is burned out cities. It is not going to get better.

I do not want to see my grand-kids living in environment like Somalia.

Well, OK. It's none of my business. But what if you are wrong in your prediction that the US will become a third world country in 30 years?

Also, I know that you are not talking about abortion here, but some women who have abortions make the same sort of argument. Life will be bad enough for the kid that it will be better if he is never born. My response is to propose that as good, pro-2nd amendment types, we conservatives offer to loan a loaded gun to the kid when he reaches 18, if the mother will just forego the abortion and let him survive until then. Is the mother better able to decide the value of her child's life, than the child himself will be at age 18? Of course not. What percentage of kids would then commit suicide with the gun? Very low. Most people choose living over dying, even in Somalia. Having kids is a gamble, but it's still the only game in town.

I have a feeling that this might offend you, and I don't intend it to. Again, this is none of my business. I just think that you are making an odd choice.
