    Well, in a democracy it’s important that people who want this can try to make it happen via official procedure, which this is.

    That said, the people who want this are assholes and probably in bed with Russia.

      That is the problem with democracies - they have no active protection of their own because it would be undemocratic on principle.

          Education… educated people think about things. Above all, when is the best time to have a child in terms of financial situation etc. Political and world events etc. can also be taken into consideration. .
          Meanwhile, the uneducated have the 4-5 child.
          The educated now have the problem of age and have waited too long/thought about the fact that having a child is no longer an option.

              Oh yes, look at the falling birth rates in countries with prosperity… Then compare that with other places in the world… then don’t forget that in other parts of the world many die as babies or children and yet there are constant or rising rates.

              I’m not saying that educated people are dying out or that education is dying out. However, there will always be more stupid people. Especially as the prosperity of the educated is built on the stupid.

                prosperity of the educated is built on the stupid.

                Can I steal this? Or is this from somewhere else?

                  I haven’t copied it from anywhere else, but it’s a pretty general statement anyway.
