Expect some economic and sociological changes down the road, as the world's population grows smaller and older.

Don't sweat it, old age isn't that great when ya have very painful health issues and the dirt nap starts looking inviting.
NO, I'm NOT thinking of ANY sort of self harm. I'm just a lot less scared of it.

I thought the immigrants from 3rd world shitholes were supposed to out breed the evil legacy Americans and replace us.
I'm sure the socialist paradise they create will be more better than the disgusting capitalist dystopian society they replaced will be great.

That's what they're planning on.  Also why do you hate diversity? (PBUI).

Demographics are destiny.

Old news.


Ok, puns aside, I've been aware of this for some time.

Add it to the list of things our government is incapable of addressing. (Morally incapable. There are things they could do to encourage more childbearing, but they won't do them.)

Why would any sane person want to bring a child into this?

The earth is cooling we need to panic!
The earth is warming we need to panic!

We'll run out of oil in 10yrs we need to panic!
We have too much oil we need to panic!

Everything gives you cancer we need to panic!

The population bomb is exploding we need to panic!
The population is shrinking we need to panic!

Like I said above, I have no more panic to give,

Maybe an insane person would, though.

That would be an interesting take on a serial killer story.

But instead of a serial killer, a serial breeder who deliberately brings children into the world just to watch them suffer.

Dozens of kids born into all manner of circumstances that he keeps track of and arranges to have non-lethal but disturbing but still mostly mundane things happen to them so he can rejoice in their angst.
