Birth Rates

[Hafar1014]

You admit issues grow after 30, but you want the first child at 27?


That's a pretty narrow window.


You selling a pill that promotes triplets?

First birth should be before 30 after that it becomes high risk

We need policies to make it easier for people to become legal adults and financially independent, closer to when they become PHYSICAL adults.


THe greater the disconnect between biology and our culture, the worse our culture is.

Have a big nest egg saved up before having kids.

Mate suppression advice, designed to hurt people.

Laughable. So go out and have a bunch of kids and dire straits if no money saved. Brilliant idea.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Not really....
A portion of children grow up to become non-parents or have genetic, physical abnormalities or through environmental interventions become incapable of having children. .1% is insufficient to overcome these factors. Childhood death, disease, dismemberment or disfiguration does a number on population. Plus incarceration....people go to jail. Then there's the ever growing population of LGBTQ. (not helping) And those undesirable to procreate with (OnlyFans moms?....uh NO!) Then the autism rates....

So in essence we need the additional boost of .7% to cover for these losses.

So....there ya go.

But MORE IMPORTANTLY.
What are your thoughts on having 3-4 children of your own?

Diapers? School? Discipline? Soccer/baseball practices?

I have three.

I've seen people wait till their got their money situation fixed. ANd then reality bit them in the ass and they never had the family they wanted.

It is a tradegy.

Being poor would have been better for them. Poor with a family.

Ive seen it too, poor with a family. And in many cases it was the reason for the divorce. What a pity.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Alot of married couples are choosing none. It's the times we live in.

"Alot" is not a word, Methusaleh!

Where is your pity? You seem at every turn to support policy that ***** the people trying to have a family.

HOw does your "pity" manifest?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

He's playing dumb.

He's not playing. He is Methusaleh.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Thats for him to decide. He was in a miserable marriage for 20 years. Never happy, never smiled. We wondered what was wrong. Once he got divorced. His whole world changed for the better. What a nasty woman his wife was. Thank god for divorce.

Now he will die alone. Sad for anyone.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Bingo. Well said. Those that believe one Should do one thing or the other should just clench their lips. They have nothing to offer.

Who said what?

 

[initforme]

I didnt create this mess of low wages and high prices. That is reality. Healthcare has been way too high priced for 40 years. Its a mess.

 

[Correll]

Agreed. A child at the price of ten years of work? SIGN ME UP NOW.

 

[Correll]

I didnt create this mess of low wages and high prices. That is reality. Healthcare has been way too high priced for 40 years. Its a mess.

But you are attacking those with ideas to try to fix it. As though you are supporting that "mess" now.

And attacking the ideas.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

The brain isnt fully developed until age 25 so there is good point here.

At the age of 25, I had been married over 3 years and was working on my second child. At 25, my daughter had been married 6 years had two children and was getting divorced from her husband who abandoned her and the kids. At 25, my son had been married 7 years and had one child and he is still married 19 years later. His wife was a surrogate and had 4 babies for childless couples. At 25, my daughter was unmarried, had no kids, and didn't even date. Different strokes for different folks.

 

[Correll]

... His wife was a surrogate and had 4 babies for childless couples. ...

THAT'S interesting... shows a ...lot of love.

She really only wanted ONE for herself?

Low wages is mostly due to lack of skills. High prices are like the weather. We always have it. Healthcare has NEVER been a concern for anyone I know. Maybe it is because most of the people I know were military or had a really good job because they had education and/or skills.

She made about $100,000 for the deal, and they decided one was enough. I have three kids and three grandkids, so they replaced themselves. My parents had two and replaced themselves. My aunts and uncles did or did not replace themselves, but my family name dies with my son, as he is the last surviving male in his generation.
