Over population and your personal responsibility.

Limit to two children per family.

Considering it's a little crowded in here (Earth) why does no one seem to take personal accountability for this? How else do you think is responsible??

When it comes to your decision to have children or not, what is your reasoning? and is there an element of fear?

Copulations outside of marriage should be banned. To get married the father should have salary about 30K or a good degree. Fidelity, marital conduct should be enforced by the police, if need be the physical punishments for infractions thereof. The only family structure that works is the conventional model, 2 parents in the home with a professional father and a stay at home mum. Anything that undermines the sanctiyt of this institution should be stamped out vehemently.

The Earth is not over populated, we are just using space inefficiently.

There is more than enough food for everyone in the world to eat 2,500 calories a day.

As long as you don't eat (or waste) more than that, you have no reason to feel morally responsible.

What about the ones dying of starvation?

The Earth itself is not overpopulated and indeed with a global birth rate of 2.6 (i think), output of key resources like food actually increases faster than the population globally. If you look at fertility rates by region then actually only Africa has a fertility rate above 3.

The problem in todays world is not production but rather the distribution of land and capital.

So in answer to your question, i'll be having 3 children.

We need to give them food obviously.

It is somewhat ridiculous that a massive fertile continent like Africa has such pitiful infrastructure that it is is unable to sustain its own population and has to buy food in from Europe and the Americas.

Didn't really know that, because the average calories intake, which only really applies to people living in the UK.

Oh, is that because of the poverty? or maybe something the continent is not consciously doing?

Ok, well I'm aware there is a correlation between birth rates and poverty. So there's a problem with the value of money and space?

i hate babies and am not maternal so have no desire to have children. I don't find them cute or feel any attachment to them and far prefer animals. Therefore it is a preexisting conclusion that i won't have any.

I don't think i would anyway due to population pressure on the planet or limit myself to one or two childen.

anyways Guinea Pigs FTW not babies

Multiple factors. Whereas the rest of the world has developed over the past 40 years, Africa has gone backwards with the help of the IMF.

Ah no! babies are cool people, they're really fun , but, fair enough, I don't like how it's pushed on you.

So, you might have them, then?

Guinea Pigs are cute , your avatar makes me go 'AWWW!'
