Have multiple friends from different families of 10+ children. From the same parents. None of them turned out to be criminals or drains on society. The children grew up to be engineers, interior designers, entrepreneurs, botanists, filmmakers, military officers, architects, doctors and everything in between. Many of them grew up poor, having a lot of children is a huge responsibility, but they are all successful and many of them have children of their own now.
You don't get to tell me how many children I am allowed to have, take your fucking tyranny elsewhere. You are free to die out, but I have no such intention. Birth rates are naturally low in the west, overpopulation is a self-regulating problem here. But at the same time we are told there are not enough young people and we need to import outsiders with higher birth rates. Hell no!
We should have stable birth rates, defend our territory and let others regulate their out of control breeding habits themselves, or suffer if they fail to do so.
Also, you are completely wrong about big families. Children who grow up in big families still get a lot of attention, it depends a lot more on parenting style then on the number of siblings. More siblings on average means the children will be more experienced at navigating relationships with their peers. That's about it.
More siblings mean your children will be damaged af, people will look at your family with disgust, it will look uncivilised and the middle child will get middle child syndrome.
Also elder children are not there to be mini parents to your younger offspring. It is so unfair and selfish to take a child’s childhood away because you couldn’t stop popping out kids because you were selfish.
Having a child is all about being selfless and all your reasons show you wouldn’t make a great parent because you want to make a dozen so you don’t “die out” umm everyone is going to die out. Even people who own empires don’t have more than three. If you own a significant amount of property and need an heir to inherit it all then it is understandable to want a few but to pop out more than four is ludicrous.
Most European countries have less than two children per household. As a result, their medical systems will collapse when the millennials become pensioners and many millennials will languish neglected and alone in their old age. No civilization can be sustained if there is a cap of two children per family because many will have fewer than that and not all children survive to adulthood, so your assertion that having more than two children is uncivilized is invalid.
Children are not an “if one dies then the other will replace them.” Every child is precioin and of themselves. If an only child were to die a loving parent wouldn’t have another just to replace that child. If any parent thought of children in that way I would be very worried.
I’m not implying parents should think of having multiple children as a way to replace an older child should the child die. What I am saying is that any society that permanently limits the size of families to one or two children in an attempt to insure children receive adequate attention from parents will eventually collapse. It is a mathematical certainty.
Depends on your country, to be honest.
Japan's about to have a population under-CRISIS, so it may be necessary for people to have many children. China has an over-population crisis, which means they need fewer children.
It's a weird moral concept, and it plays with different people's opinions that at the end of the day, shouldn't be forced upon people who don't want it. But eh, what do I know? I don't have kids. There little shits.
You don’t get to tell people how many kids they can or cannot have. With all the couples remaining childless on purpose, millions of abortions a year, in the US alone, someone has to make babies or you won’t have anyone to talk to on here.
It’s better that way. We don’t need billions of people. If we can cut it to at least 3 billion globally it’d be good.
The world governments are working on that, trying to kill off millions with a poison flu shot, the ones it doesn’t kill will be sterilized. Have you had a hysterectomy yet to prevent ever having kids?
Retarded liberals abound
@Offtoracs1 you’re the retarded liberal here you inbred. We’re conservatives.
The fuck you are.
I agree. There are enough people on our planet already. My wife and I are actively "practicing" to have a child. We plan to only have 1 or 2.
i think most families in the US wouldn't be able to afford more than 2 kids.
I say kiss my ass cause I raised 4 girls and girls are expensive and we never asked for a check and were very involved they did cheer and swim team and we went camping and have a lot of great memories and no body abused my girls and they were never neglected I busted my ass to give them everything they needed and most of what they wanted so again kiss my ass
I am one of four myself and I’ll tell you as I tell my parents and grandparents that it’s disgusting to have that many.
and you're entitled to your opinion. Mine is that it's ridiculous for anyone to think they should be able to tell others how to live their lives and how many children to have. Then again, I'm a big fan of freedom and personal choice, and I dislike communism, sooooooo we probably wouldn't be very good friends.
I agree. there are enough people sucking the world dry of resources. we don't need more than 2 kids per fam. that being said, I got twins on my second try so I'm a family of 3. lol
Sal, is that you?
@Paul09 haha. nope!
My friend had a daughter, wanted 1 more, got 2 boys instead.
@Paul09 I have a boy... tried for 1 more. BAM identical twin girls...
We just need to stop giving more welfare money the more illegitimate kids a woman gives birth to.
Good idea
I disagree. People should have as many children as they want. It's THIER choice not YOURS. My parents have me and 3 other children and we all get more than enough attention from our parents.
If it were their choice then governments would not have been imposing one/two child policies.
Even the UK has imposed it. Poor people in the UK have the most children and so the government has refused to help poor families with more than two children. Due to this law most families won’t have more than two. If they do they’ll probably stop at three and not go onto have nine like they used to.
It’s nit just China and other Eastern countries that want to impose these laws on idiots who want to breed like rabbits. It’s first world high income countries too. It’s pretty damn ridiculous to have more than two children. What is the benefit? Only ultra orthodox religious morons and poor people do it.

Harman interviewed 950 parents from a wide range of family set-ups, and concluded that the happiest families were those with four or more children. The main advantages cited by these parents were increased positive social interactions within the family and high levels of support among siblings
Not all families love each other. And that is a small sample of people compared to all the people in the world so it doesn’t prove much.
Whatever. People should have as many children in their families as they want.
I can back up that this isn’t true lol. I’ve been In some F-ed up homes where they only have 1-2 children and the parents are a MESS and I’ve seen homes that are doing well with 5+ kids and they foster more.
I thought we were done when we had our 4th child but now that I realize how irritating it is for some people, we might try for a 5th or 6th, even.
Well it’s your wife’s pussy that’s gonna keep getting loose as a whale. And who knows if she’ll make it past the 5th or 6th.
And. Blocked.
Make it one child and ban seperation if you have a child, those are the only ways to curb overpopulation
Beyond my whole idealistic plan to put men and women into 2 walled off continents
12 kids altogether here. And all is exceptionally well in our family including 21 grand kids to boot. Don't agree with you on many levels of this topic.
Start that in the slums and ghettos of the world... that would be awesome!
"I would like to introduce the two child police globally. This means that each person can only replace themself and then have no more children. Two children per family MAX."
Commie piece of shit.
It is part of life, mother nature the life cycle. Times have changed but each to their own. God gives what we can handle and nothing beyond
I personally don't want to have so many children but I can't blame people who want many children as long as they have enough money and time to take care and affectionate them.
It’s usually poor people who have a lot of children. I haven’t seen middle class/ rich people with more than three children per family. Usually they have three max. It is rare for people who can afford them to have lots.
