More sad still is when those politicians continue on, in denial,even as the verdict is coming in.

In a global sense it is simply unsustainable - an ever-rising population - and I find having children without thinking wider than your family to be a selfish attitude (not saying that's your case, but in general...). More people = more energy being used, contributing to cliamte change, the erosion of resources, more land being built on for houses, more deforestation, etc etc. Breeding indefinitely I find to be selfish and surely 2 kids is more than enough for anyone.<br /><br />Secondly, if you are not financially able to support your children, it seems clear to me that you shouldn't have more. To think that 'oh the state will pay me to take care of them' is not a responsible or sympathetic attitude.<br /><br />Again, I am not saying any of this is true in your case, but I think the general point stands.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18225535605697054321noreply@blogger.com
