Yeah, I think it would be more realistic to suggest a nuclear missile exchange between two major world powers every 100 years as a method of population control. Expecting up-and-coming nations (China, India, etc) to improve their world-shittingness is silly. They're making money.

When I see my peers with their kids, I can't help but think that "one could have been enough" or that they didn't really need to have kids because they can't even take care of themselves. Sometimes it's a personal judgment, sometimes its just blatantly obvious. Me? I don't think I should have kids because I'm too selfish. I have no desire to carry the burden of a creature less able to take care of itself than a puppy for several years, along with all the money spent on it that could be used to further myself. I have options... I can pay cash for a PhD or I can father another screaming poo factory.
