FRiends, I am a man, and therefore could not presume to fully understand women. However, one thing I have learned over the years is that what a woman SAYS she wants, and what she actually DOES want, are two very different things. :)

Panzerfaust, I’m quite sure you feel the way you do now. However, consider when you start getting quite elderly. I’m talking over 80. One of you is going to die first. The other will be LEFT ALONE. No kids, grandkids, etc. Eventually you may well have to go into a nursing home. Good luck with visitors, or people to share memories with.

The interlopers and bad folks are breeding poorly raised children like rats

Educated well bred whites and even higher class hispanics are not

Its that simple

Women under 50 have been brainwashed by fembot narrative or resisted the siren call

Younger women resist much less

They simply think being a mom is beneath them in and of itself

Their career...that’s what women call jobs is more important

The men are submissive....weaklings...no leaders...just compliant sperm donors or someone to vent to

Its a malaise....awful to watch...a western sickness....worse in Nordic nations

White boys have hit eunuch levels of free testosterone

Young women drank koolaid provided by women with no kids too ugly to bred with

Or the couple just doesn’t want to disturb what they want personally for themselves

Of the childless couples I know....95% is woman’s choice

A marriage with no kids is a different animal than a marriage with spawn

The primitives are not marrying...just breeding

You’re a fellow traveler....I always value your input

But aside from record unmarried black women abortions...

Other poor paternal candidates are breeding big time

Whilst whites ....capable higher class who actually marry....do not so much breed anymore

I watch the hipster nirvana that is now urban core of Nashville

Reproducing is not in the future for these kids....its. having everything their way

And the women hold the power...the men are so gay acting

They lived the progressive lifestyle and anything politically correct is their faith

Its so nauseating...do good social conscience fascism... I’m not kidding

We sat at the Two Old Hippies store downtown today and observed them...they are veritably brainwashed...clueless about liberty and empiricism

Progressive posturing is their church

The hybrid car their altar

Eco vacations their baptism

And so forth

They cry more for old growth forests than aborted babies

And racial confession and redress is their crucible

I think a lot of men are on a marriage strike. When they see their fathers/uncles/brothers raped in divorce court, and forced to pay 1/4 of his income for alimony, and the mother getting full custody of the children requiring him to give up another 1/4-1/3 of his income, it might make him think twice about getting married.

I know you shouldn’t worry about a divorce when marrying. I just think a lot of men now see it as risky. It is the culture we have.

While the entitlement class, single parenting and the muslims procreate at an alarming rate.

How can the U.S. birth rate be dropping with all of the Hispanics and even Asians coming over just to have babies in America, after all those babies are American aren’t they? /S

Attempted sarcasm aside, this is an interesting statistical question. The total birthrate includes all the children born, regardless of the ethnic or economic characteristics of the mother. If "Bad People Group X" are having a lot of children, that means the birthrate of "Good People Group Y" is even lower than the general rate suggests.

However, for those concerned about the racial makeup of the replacement population, this chart shows that the difference in total fertility rate among ethnic classes is very modest.

A depression will depress everything... including birthrates. There are other reasons also but economic depression makes it impossible for people to marry and have children. They lie about everything... look around... look at the empty buildings for sale and rent... same with homes... same with new cars. Does anyone still believe the US Government when they say we are growing at 4.8% and that we have 7% unemployment?

Know so many late 20, early 30 somethings that just are so unbelievably immature for their ages. They are so into the partying, the traveling to exotic places, living for themselves — even if they’re married!

When you mention kids they just gasp and comment that they can “barely take care of themselves,” much less a child. I just have to shake my head.

Hubby and I had two kids before we were 30, and I’m damn glad we did. I’m exhausted at 50 and still raising a 12 year old as well. I would NEVER want to have kids so late in life as these kids will, if they ever hatch.

But will they regret their choices? Who knows ...maybe they will have fond memories of their younger years. I’m glad my own daughter will have her career established before she has children, but she’s going to go through life one tired gal.

My youngest daughter was born when I was 45. It’s perfectly natural, if one is in good health. However, I think many young, or at least younger, people don’t realize that they are making major life choices that are going to have long-term consequences. They’re just going with the flow, doing what others do, telling themselves that they aren’t making choice, don’t have other options.

“I think a lot of men are on a marriage strike.”
Agreed.
When no-fault swept the land...starting in Calif. in the 70’s, and WITHOUT much debate, the “plan” was to destroy the fundamental building-block of America’s strength: The family.

Sure, a few might just be plain immature.

Or just have a different opinion. I know that's hard for you (and others on this thread) to grasp.

I am an older guy, like in my 70s, and the women of my age, are the loneliest bunch of folks one could meet....they try to relive the 60s, in their 60s....hanging out at bars picking up younger guys, in hope they can have sex like the 60s.....all very sad indeed....but, they declare, I an independent women....

Fertility forecast: Baby bust is over; births will rise

Cathy Payne, USA TODAY 2:02 a.m. EDT August 1, 2013

The new forecast also found a link between religious attendance and increased childbearing.

America’s fertility rate is taking baby steps upward, a new report suggests.

The total fertility rate in the USA is predicted to rise from a 25-year low of 1.89 children per woman in 2012 to 1.90 in 2013, according to the U.S. Fertility Forecast report released today by Demographic Intelligence. Preliminary official fertility estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention may be released in 2014; final official estimates are expected in 2015, the company says.

“The United States has seen marked declines in childbearing in the wake of the Great Recession, b ut we think that this fertility decline is now over,” says Sam Sturgeon, president of Demographic Intelligence, a demographic forecasting firm in based in Charlottesville, Va. “As the economy rebounds and women have the children they postponed immediately after the Great Recession, we are seeing an uptick in U.S. fertility.”

Why, how brilliant of them! Based on half a year’s data, these geniuses are able to predict that the change in the full-year fertility rate will be well within the margin of error for their calculation method!

Couldn't have anything to do with Putin giving respect and priority to the Orthodox Christian Church, could it? Nah. Never mind.

Russia appears to get it right while America continues to get it wrong. I honestly would prefer having Putin as my president. Sigh.
