They just didn't know any better.
The whole idea that everyone has to have children is frankly asinine.
I want people to have fewer children.
I want fewer people to have children.
I want nobody to have more than two children.
The whole idea that population must grow and keep growing is silly.
It is ok for the population to shrink a little.

- yaomtc 3y agoThey didn't say "Nobody should be allowed to have more than two children". They simply have an opinion that people shouldn't, purposefully, have more than two children. Seems reasonable to me.
- pooper 3y agoYes, thank you. I'm not Mao. People should choose to have either no children Or ideally one or two children And not no children. Ideally, we as a society should support people who choose to have one or two children, prioritizing these families over people who have half a dozen or more children. But that's because in my opinion people who have dozens of children have something wrong in their heads. If you choose to have a dozen children, you better be able to afford to raise them all on your own dime. That being said, I really dislike means testing of any kind so I'd be ok with a social safety net for the wackos and their unfortunate children.
- Thorrez 3y agoThe way the trend is going, the population is going to shrink. South Korea is already down to 0.84 (2.1 means population stays the same).
- pooper 3y agoThat is good and I'm all for it but a problem is now is that fundamentalists still have a lot of children and at some point, they will have too much political power.
