Am I wrong for thinking this way?

Question

First off I do happen to like kids (in moderation) :P

Basically I think that there should be a limit on how many kids you can have and wanted to see what you people thought!

2 kids I think is enough for those [legacy gene pool obsessed] people and after that one should adopt! Can people not see that by spitting out kids left and right is over crowding our country, and pretty much in some cases non intentionally placing these kids in situations of picking on because their parent(s) had them when they can't even afford to take care of them self?

Seriously take a second and think about that last part. I'm not trying to be negative...but I am a realist! Makes me a tad angry that people can easily pop a kid out yet not think of the reality behind if they can provide for a child or not. A classic truth be told of how selfish a lot of humans really are....

Answer 1

I hear you.. and I get as angry every time I think of them irresponsible airheads that just pop the kid out and make their life miserable.
But the reality is, people do that all the time , and irresponsibility is like a germ, it's catchy. I mean, think about moms who do drugs while they're pregnant, messing that kid for life, and let the kid be raised by some other people whom hopefully are going to love that kid and try to provide them with the education and all else to integrate them into society.
However, if you think like that, and prohibit people to multiply as they wish, humanity might have never known enlightenment, such as Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison... etc.
The mystery of life itself doesn't make sense because all the programming and careful planning we do things don't happen according to plans, most of the time a great mind is born in adversity, and so on.
And that's what makes life more intriguing, and that's what keeps our hopes alive, that no matter how bad we screw up, our kids are going to overcome and are going to arrive farther than we made it... :) Interesting question.. :)

Answer 2

Well, in one way, it does make sense that people should not produce more offspring then they can provide properly for. And yes, you are right about the over crowding. but, if everyone thought as you do, then there would be a whole lot of people here now, that wouldn't exist and quite possibly , you would have been one of those... And ... I want you to think about how that possibility effects your psyche , being as how you have been born and grown to adulthood?? Having children , is not a selfish act, it may be one that wasn't always thought through, but not intentionally selfish..

Answer 3

You are definitely not in fault by thinking this way. People with 15 kids almost disgust me, the world is overpopulated by a couple billion people, if you look at the earth scientifically humanity has well surpassed the earth's natural ability to sustain us. Its because of our artificial growth hormones and modern growing techniques that we can support as many people as we do, and we still have millions starving! So yes, I believe you are absolutely correct. Especially these families with 6 kids, and make less than 1,000$ a week.

Answer 4

Why did your parents have you? I bet that they think your are just a natural resource consuming parasite... Just kidding. I have three beautiful children and plan to have more. They require sacrifice and love and we have been able to provide for them. Many people are not in an appropriate position to have children, and really should not. Unfortunately they have the equipment to bring children into squalid misfortune as well as the most prepared parents. We will hopefully have six.....There is plenty of space and resources, just not enough common sense to manage it.

Answer 5

Well, I agree with you on one part! If a person cannot afford kids, then they shouldn't even have one(unless it is an accident)After one child, it is not an accident, it is sheer carelessness!I don't think people should have kids if they cannot afford it(and go on welfare)! But, also if they are not emotionally ready either! but if they are able to afford it and can provide emotionally, there should be no limit!

Answer 6

very true, i also think that you are not being negative you are only trying to embrace your feelings to the people and really if you cant take care of a child, do not bring them into this world.
