What are your opinions on this?

Ever heard of a cycle of poverty? Most of those poor people you see with a bunch of kids don't know any better. They were born into poverty, therefore they didn't get proper parental supervision, they got pregnant young stunting their own earning potential, and boom the cycle continues.

And a lot of poor people have figured out that kids = free money. If you have a kid the government won't just allow you to be homeless or hungry. They provide shelter, food, and a monthly stipend. So a lot of poor women choose to use kids as a meal ticket.

At the end of the day it would be impossible to regulate child birth. And people are always gonna do dumb stuff. If you look at the clinical definition of insane the majority of humans are insane in one way or another. They learn nothing from there mistakes. Its the way of the world. GEt used to it. In a few thousand years natural selection will have taken care of all of them anyway.

I couldn't care less how much money someone has, it is irresponsible and ignorant for any couple to have more than two children.

I dont think they are thinking they want to have a bunch of kids...I think they arnt taking proper protection against having too many kids and then end up g aveing a lot.
there are still quite a goid number of people who dont want to use condoms because it doesnt feel as good.
or maybe the women arnt using birth control...ether they dont have the ability to obtain it threw health care or are too poor.
they also could just be selfish.

I couldn't agree more! It's either very poor people, or homeless ones that have loads of children. Especially gypsies. Where I live, they have between 4 and 10 children.
They don't work, they have no education, they steal, yet they get benefits for every child, benefits for being homeless, benefits for "being disabled", cause they bribe doctors to get disability pension, while the people who are in need of some financial help have to live on salt and bread!

So I believe such people, who can't contribute to society and whose children also won't, not to receive any benefits!
In fact they should have a limit on the maximum amount of children they can have and be punished for being jobless! Cause it's not that they can't get an education and a job. They don't want to. It's easier living off everyone's back.
This will be better for the children, better for the economy, better for the security of the country, better for the whole planet!

I think in some cultures, they choose not to use contraceptives, and hence have a lot of kids. Some even see kids as their own kind of wealth, more children to work and raise money to help them out of poverty and take care of them...

If poor people should have less children then rich people should have as many as they can but it just doesn't happen that way because each couples circumstances and way of thinking is different. Sometimes it works out and poor families get out of poverty in this way. Alternatively since rich people prefer having fewer kids, they should donate their money instead.

Sounds like you're only thinking of developed countries.

In certain circumstances, people tend to have children so they can have help around the house and such. With that in mind, I don't mind them having children since it can't be helped.

For those who aren't in those circumstances, I can't say much. Those who started poor and had kids regardless just made their situation worse. However, if they were well off at the beginning, had children, but ran into financial trouble then I don't really know what to think.

I've missed you.

Well, their kids could also help out with stuff. :/
