manofstrad Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Is it worth having kids? Is it worth what Tony? Is it worth the few moments of pleasure while concieving? Is it worth bringing a new life into this world without any financial reward? Is it worth watching your partner scream out in pain as she gives birth? Is it worth our species surviving by reproduction? You have to be a bit more clear about what you are getting at old boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chem1st Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 If you're talking about 1920's and 30's there wasn't it was much like it is now. Prosperity was post war and when I left school in 1966 there were loads of jobs - you could take your pick and you got day release to go to college or apprenticeships The times of higher murder rates. Interestingly, since the 1980s and the rise of unemployment in men, the murder rate in the UK has doubled. Particular the murder of young adult males, and men in general, especially so for those living in the poorest neighbourhoods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHsheff Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I caught the end of one of the R4 progs 'First 1000 Days: A Legacy for Life' and one of the last comments was from a guy who mentioned that the 'question that daren't be asked' was.....(words to the effect of)...'if intelligent people are tending to have fewer babies, and the less-intelligent tend to have more, what will be the effect of human evolution?' Those of you who flatter yourselves that you're in the higher section of intelligence, are you really doing the world a service by not forwarding your genes? Do you really want the world to be populated by those who feature on the Kyle show? Think on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightlight59 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 To answer the question yes but only if you can afford to pay for them yourself instead of expecting everyone else to do it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHsheff Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 "The peoples millionaire." Oh dear. The wrong thread, perhaps, in which to point this out, but what a shame that someone whose persona exhibts such snobbery can't punctuate correctly. Tut, tut.
