    it's been absolutely normal in our society to highly value family, and to have many kids.
    That no kids no nothing mentality is a rather recent mindset of the last 2 generations.

    Yea who cares about birthrates and population size of China, India, Nigeria, and Europe in general. Surely it'll never have any effect whatsoever.

    4 isnt that many. more than that though is where it starts getting crazy.

    My dad was the 14th kid out of 14 and his mother was 93 when she died. And we are not Muslims.
    So what is wrong to have many kids ?
    because anyone with that many kids is more than likely a drain on the economy and their children are going to have a shitty future because their parents are shitty parents.

    plus, that's just a ridiculous amount of kids to have. you aren't raising them personally.

    The hate parents get these days for having kids is getting way out of hand. As if making sure that our race won't end is a bad thing.
    This is kind of like the whole Christian persecution in America thing, isn't it? Families with children are given all sorts of benefits and extra consideration in society, yet they're the ones under attack? Please. Try being in a family that's not capable of having children and see how well perceived by the public you are.

    I removed the "White" part of your title.

    In the future, don't purposely add race to the title of a thread when it is completely unrelated

    White isn't an ethnicity.

    Employed and educated couples having many children is a good thing.

    Also, why is it relevant that this couple is "white"? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_fertility_rate

    Nothing wrong with having a large family as long as you can care for them. The article is very racist but looking at the source it's no surprise.

    Did someone forget to look up the definition of the word "ethnicity"? You're just being snippy and arguing semantics because of the other thread. Admit it.

    No, if you meant race, then say race, not ethnicity. Ethnicity is Japanese, Chinese, Swedish, German, British, Kenyan, Somalian etc. Not "white" or any other skin color.

    Projected effect, or actual effect?

    See because really as I said it doesn't matter, unless you adopt the attitude they are different than us, therefor danger, which is pretty fucking stupid. If certain traditions and attitude expand, or over populate I would be concerned, but that isn't typically tied to any one race.


    Plenty of white people care about fairness and actual equality, as there are those of any other race, sometimes that values system makes it's way to the top sometimes it doesn't.


    But to exclusively make a baby your enemy because of skin color is wrong.

    http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ethnicity You may want to look under "synonyms". Still, it's semantics, this is the most boring thing ever and you're just trying to hold a grudge.

    Anyone complaining about people in the western world having kids are missing the big picture. The overwhelming majority of human population growth occurs in underdeveloped ("3rd world") nations, and these are the problem areas. These kids very rarely have the opportunity to improve their situation.

    The developed world is either at, or rapidly approaching, population decline. And the people in these nations are the ones who have the resources and education to fix various world problems. The U.S. alone churns out the plurality of scientific research in the world. If anything we need to be doing more to encourage people in the U.S. to have more kids. Our very high immigration is the only reason our population demographics look relatively normal compared to nearly every other western country.

    This just horrible all around. These people are in my opinion a perfect example of everything that is wrong with the world. And I'm not just talking about the music.

    They obviously only think of themselves, are (very, it would seem) happy to erode and rape the world a bit more even if we are already sucking all resources dry, and yeah I don't know how it is in the US, but in Europe they'd end up getting a lot of money of the state; paid for by people that are - willingly or not - without children.

    Please, think of the children and tone down on having children.
    Straight up bro. I do think that the human population needs to go down. at this rate I think that we are more like a virus on the planet. still there are less extreme ways for phrasing you're opinion on the matter.

    I'm not "trying to hold a grudge". Nationality is not ethnicity and ethnicity is not race. You can be ethnically Finnish and still be of Swedish nationality. Nationality refers to citizenship. You can be ethnically Japanese and still be of Swedish nationality. You can belong to the asian classification of race, that doesn't mean you're the same ethnicity as the others included in it. Japanese, Thai, Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean etc. They're all Asian. But Taiwanese ethnicity is not Korean ethnicity.

    Four is borderline too many kids, IMO. My parents were both the oldest of seven children, but that was a different time. You raised your children differently back then, and jobs tended to pay more.
