Is it normal that i believe everyone should be under a 2-child limit?

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

  • I don't think we should even think about limits like that until we are doing everything we can to lower the birth rate among those who cannot provide for their children. As a society we aren't taking care of the easy things yet, so until we are there I think the hard things aren't worth tackling.

    I do think one good change would be making anyone who has their children in state custody pay child support or be put in jail. That way the true loser mothers that have keep having kids put into custody wouldn't be able to keep having kids due to their imprisonment.

    • But then the state is not only paying for the children, but also to keep the mother in jail.

      • That would be covered by the mothers that do pay child support to the state. Also the prevention of new uncared for children would be far cheaper in the long run to the state. Especially considering the amount of state wards that end up in the prison system anyway.

        Unless you mean we should execute the mothers. I feel that would rob us of the chance to try to redeem that person and I don't feel the punishment would fit the crime. It doesn't past the smell test for basic fairness to me.

    • They already do that. Nonpayment of support has been a jailable offense for a long time. Parents with kids in state custody are still responsible for support whether it was voluntary or forcible.

  • Hear, hear. Another intelligent person heard from. Overpopulation is already here, it is not something in a far distant future.
    One child per couple should be sufficient today and if more children are wanted in a household, then adoption is the perfect solution.

  • SOME groups of people should be limited to one or no children, while others be allowed to have as many as they want.

    The world is NOT overcrowded; the population is just unbalanced.

    e.g. Chinese shouldn't breed like rabbits because there's no space for them in their own country, while Whites should be encouraged to have more children because they're only 10% of the world population.

  • Your poll options are a bit black and white there. Uncontrolled population growth is currently a bad thing, but a two-child limit also doesn't work. Too low of a birth rate harms both the economy and society as a whole. I've explained that in a previous post, and I'm on mobile so finding it would be a pain.

    If you're the poster of the previous poll, you probably already have my opinion though.

  • The natural world would sort out any imbalance on it's own. To think anything other than that is ridiculous. Humans will not destroy the earth, the earth will destroy the humans. It's a non-issue.

  • Sounds good on paper, but how are you gonna enforce it? In a way that DOESN'T violate basic human rights, I mean?

  • Breeding too many kids is part of Darwins Theory of Evolution. It's actually the first step "overpopulation". Overpopulation is just a basic part of nature, and all living things do it.

  • I think humans should stop having kids and be the last generation of humans.

    That would be so cool. Like this is it chickowwww!

  • Bet you was a 3rd child that wishes they were never born.

  • Why?

    Maybe a 2 unplanned child limit. And once you get two, they sterilize you.
