Being that I am from ghetto-redneck town, I have witnessed, first hand, the cycle of stupidity being perpetuated through the generations, with a cycle breaker here and there but the general pattern remains a constant. By stupidity, I mean people who *genuinly* believe that nobody plans pregnancy, and that it is permissable not to make an effort to prevent it.
I'm not an anon or an internet person, I have a real life and a social life and I am one of those common lay people that you see every day hanging out with a group of people and doing my thing. I've met many people and I don't think that more sheltered individuals understand just how many babies are born due to lack of use of birth control, literal ignorance of birth control or plain ole fucking whomever and not even thinking of the consequences. It's insane.
Yes I agree with what you are saying, most of the time the pattern fits the standard that has been the norm. If that makes sense.
People can be relied on to be one of two things, unreliably predictable and reliably unpredictable, meaning the moment you think they understand responsibility they will screw it up royally, OR when you think they are destined to be a bonehead they will surprise you with amazing insight.
You also cant discount the role religion plays in it as well, many thick headed individuals believe birth control is sacrilegious and that if Jesus didnt want me to have any more babies then he wouldnt be sending them to me. TLC's 27 and counting or whatever it is, is a perfect example.
Or is it the Dugar family? Not sure.
But I believe that at this point, her uterus would have turned into a burlap sack.
Being a spiritual person myself, I find it insulting when Christians say that they elect not to use birth control because it is against God's plan and if the lord didn't want them to have kids they wouldn't get pregnant. They're basically saying that an omnipotent and all knowing God is powerless in the face of the mighty pill, and that human intervention can somehow supercede the ultimate will of God.
Yes I think its the Dugar family, either she is on every fertility pill imaginable or 2 of the most fertile human beings the planet has ever seen somehow managed to be born around the same time, found and married each other, and started a colony, ahem, sorry a "family". I just dont understand the mentality behind it when almost every single pollution or environmental problem can either be directly or indirectly traced back to human population and overpopulation.
Religion is a tricky thing from some folks, being spiritual is wonderful and religion serves a great purpose in teaching people how to behave in civilized society "thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal", etc. But once people start reading too much into it problems begin.
Is it normal that I'm afraid to have sex because of pregnancy? (guy)

It's called a genetic anamoly and it is unlikely.
