Get a vasectomy while it's still legal! I got one about 2 years ago.

Keep pumping out those slaves in the name of "god", born into and of suffering, sacrifices to the almighty power.

I know xers that kids but, at least from the ones I know, im pretty sure its not replacement level. Many have zero, some have1, and 2+ ones are crazy or first generation in the country.

Bwahahaha. There are already a billion people in my country. I don't need to make more.

I absolutely hate the inter-generational blame game. Probably because I don't even feel like I belong to any generation as I was born right at the end of 1980, so I'd be a young genXer or something. I don't even know how these generations are decided upon, but in particular I'm sick of hearing everything getting blamed on Millennials all the time, since it really feels like it's mostly a bunch of old rich conservatives doing all the moaning, and is largely the same kind of people as those moaning about bicycle lanes and wind turbines.

I just did a quick search to find a random list of 40 things Millennials are frequently blamed for. Some of the things in the list are absolutely stupid as fuck, but I'm sure we've all seen such articles. I guess it's easier to generate clicks with headlines blaming Millennials for the downfall of Western civilisation instead of maybe writing a thoughtful article on why there are fewer people having kids, that perhaps investigates issues the commenter mentions.

Dumping shit on any group of ppl is so the in group can have someone to blame and hate. The illegals took-er-jerbs! You don't have to have a plan, meaningful conversation or acknowledge the cause of the problem if you give the in group a blow-off valve for the reason their lives are shit.

Also blaming the younger generation for being lazy, stupid, wrong is a tale as old as time. There's Greek writings of some one talking shit about young ppl.

It is utterly moronic. They want people to hate immigrants more.

My family basically adopted a kid that was in need. We aren’t having our own kids. It’s too expensive and we both don’t want to pass on our own mental health traits.
