I disagree with that argument. I remember watching Sahara with Michael Palin and he interviewed a bloke married to something like 4 wives and with about a dozen children. He was moaning that it was so hard to feed them. Palin said something akin to 'Wouldn't it have been much easier with one wife?' The Saharan man thought for a minute and then basically agreed. Too late now. Probably a grandfather to 100 by now.

There is something very dumb about how some people live their lives. Unfortunately with 6 children per woman you are seeing a lot of this primitive kind of behavior. It doesn't help anybody and you see on TV charities constantly asking for money to feed the children. I just think 'Why can we not just encourage more intelligent and self reflective behavior instead?' These same people into these charities are probably really into the environment too what with them being so in touch with their inner humanity. It's a contradiction though. If you really cared about the environment you would minimize your impact and encourage others to do the same.

In the West though we have basically been doing the same with the welfare state. It has been abused and now you see single mothers everywhere with a fag hanging out the mouth as they push their prams. People just don't want to work and want to live in the now and just have sex without thinking about the consequences. With the pill so readily available it is something they are purposely choosing to do. They also fill the kids full of sugary foods and then wonder why the NHS is struggling what with spending 23billion a year on diabetes treatments to sort it out later. They think money grows on trees. I guess in their world it actually does.
