Rob Cesternino 05/18/18 4:23:10 PM #1:	http://www.businessinsider.com/us-birth-rate-hit-all-time-low-demographic-time-bomb-2018-5 America may have a baby-making problem. The US birth rate dropped to an all-time low in 2017, according to preliminary numbers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Women in the US gave birth to around 3,853,472 babies last year a 2% drop from 2016. At just over 60 births per every 1,000 women (between the ages of 15 and 44), this is the lowest birth rate the country has ever recorded. The estimated fertility rate in the US is now roughly 1.76, meaning that women will have, on average, less than two kids each. That's the lowest fertility rate the country has logged since 1978. --- Stop asking me if I'm Jessica Simpson.

thanosibe 05/18/18 4:41:28 PM #16:	The newer generations seem to be less and less interested in children. Also marriage. If more people are waiting later in life to get married/commit to each other, I am guessing that will lessen the chances of children. We had our first son when I was 26 and my wife 25 and our second almost 2 years latter. After which I permanently took care of that not happening again. Either way, I don't think it's a bad thing. And I think it's also good that generations aren't be taught to rush out marry and have kids. Having a family consist of a husband and wife is just as much a family as one with kids. --- I think I need a drink.

The more people there are the less resources to go around thus lessening the average quality of life. Kids in a family of 4 would obviously have on average a better life than kids in a family of 10.</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

See, you're confusing "not happening here at an ever increasing rate" with "not a problem". Overpopulation is a global problem, not simply a matter of regional density. But I guess you are one of those fucking idiots that thinks because all 7b people could fit in Texas it don't matter. So the population issues in China and India are a problem for the rest of the world despite their declining populations and much lower density? --- This is my signature <cite>jayj350 posted [p:901587153] in U.S. birth...

I mean, it's still increasing in in many places. Increasing overall. Also, well, the ones pumping out the most babies are the poor and highly religious. Which is not good. It's totally fine. Overpopulation is a myth. The earth can actually sustain quite a bit more people than we ever will have. Experts say the population will never even reach 12 billion, which still wouldn't be considered overpopulated. I mean, if the entire world's biomass were converted into humans then yeah we can theoretically have many more billions of people.

When people say it's just a myth, I gotta wonder what in the fuck you imagine overpopulation is, like we're shoulder to shoulder from the Pacific to the Atlantic? Christ. Yes, people who deny that overpopulation is or could be a thing literally believe that "overpopulation" means "too little physical space for human bodies to occupy" I always hear these people say things like "look at (flyover state x) and how much empty space there is, you can't tell me overpopulation is a thing!" --- He which make friends with scorpion, soon come to find out what a scorpion does - they bite people with its tail --ancient Chinese proverb <cite>Giblet_Enjoyer posted [p:901589567] in U.S. birth...
