Yeah, I have heard that argument from many friends. This is the failure mode of current civilization - child rearing has been made too damn expensive and even a legal liability for responsible people, while irresponsible people reproduce like rats and that's ok then. I see that happening, but I won't change the tide and I won't pey the personal cost.
- pdimitar 8y agoAgreed. Our local gypsies exchange the same babies on queues for social help and never have to be worried about not having money for food while I have to bust my health and reduce my life expectancy to not be thrown out of my rented flat and have food in the fridge. And I have to produce kids so I can help the world? No. I refuse to bring kids in such an uncertainty. I don't "owe" our civilization nothing. I can die tomorrow and it never did anything for me except demand more and more bills and trying to scam me into yet another loan or an expensive buy that I don't need. That civilization is not entitled to dictate anything personal in my life.
