what you're looking at here is the death throes of a civilization. Abortion on demand, free contraception, and a radicalized group that believe motherhood is slavery. But of course, what do I know? I'm 'only a man'.

Extreme views are interesting, but the more "out there" the view the more it needs some supporting evidence. How about some here?

Judging by the rate the population is still increasing, I would hardly say the death throes are imminent.

"But of course, what do I know? I'm 'only a man'." Your ignorance is nothing to do with your gender. Please don't hide behind it. I know you intend it to be ironic in some way, but I rather suspect that you actually DON'T have any decent thought behind this tripe and are using some ridiculous pretense of gender-war as an excuse.

The reason you are wrong has nothing to do with your gender.

wow, the PC brigade is really out there - looks like I hurt some feelings with my previous comment. Seriously - how long will it take until 1st world nations collapse? We're close to it now in the US - SS will be an inverted pyramid before Gen-Y starts to retire - who's going to pay for it? The same with all of our other 'help the children' programs. It's been a pyramid game all along, and now the generation of the bottom level of the pyramid (meaning new bodies) is being voluntarily reduced. 2.1 is the replacement rate for a couple (the .1 is insurance against pre-reproductory death). The United States is currently at 2.06, trending downward from 2010 (see STATISTICS here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_and_dependent_territories_by_fertility_rate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_and_de...). Care to guess who's at the top? Hint: it's not 1st-world nations. The Italian government has been paying women to have babies, Germany is shrinking in population, Russia is emptying out. Why? Birth-control, abortion on demand, and an educational system that denigrates being a parent. Argue if you want, but the numbers speak, and they're telling a pretty dismal story: Here lies humanity, they became so smart they forgot to procreate.

I've upvoted you, because I tend to agree. But you really didn't do yourself any favours by that last line: "But of course, what do I know? I'm 'only a man'."

  thanks for the upvote - I knew I was going to get slings and arrows for my views, so I added the ending to short-circuit some of the backlash.
