All of this talk of overpopulation, I just don't get it. Is that what it has come to? Loving parents having more than 2 children is irresponsible? I have always wanted three children - and I have two boys and a girl on the way. I do not see a problem with a family that can handle caring for multiple children doing just that. Not everyone is emotionally capable of adopting - it is far more than just giving a child a home. You have to bond with the child, you have many difficult areas of conversation ahead of you, it is incredible responsibility that not everyone is prepared for. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Really? I grew up in Europe and we have always had the opposite problem, still do now. Too few kids are being born, and the population is aging quickly. Pretty soon there won't be enough money to support the retirees that live longer and longer. [ Reply | More

ita, these pretentious people that think they are allowed to judge bc they recycle their water bottles and use compact fluorescent lightbulbs need to take a minute to hop off their high horse (which they ride to save on gas - can't have that carbon footprint now) and let others live their lives the way in which they see fit. omg a couple wants to have a child - how dare they??????

ugh, the really nauseating thing is that if we do manage to lower emissions and extend the life of this planet, we all benefit equally, even though assholes like you did NOTHING to contribute. Go die. Please. [ Reply | More

Lucky you, it's annoying to listen to. Also, I don't get how you are supposed to calculate the replacement ratio for a person if people are living longer and longer (it can't be 1:1). [ Reply | More
