I think you have made the right decision of having kids at young age; now you can have all your life to enjoy while you are still young. I keep telling young people who want to start a family the same advice, to have kids and get over with. Young men and women are more resilience and full of energy which is ideal for the job of parenthood

This concept terrifies me, but it's a not topic that you can discuss with many people.

The current birth rate in the UK is something like 1.8 now? Imagine a UK without immigration or single mothers. How many generations is that exactly before we become barren? When schools are closing down due to lack of pupils (as they've been doing already)

No ideal solution, but people still need to stop breeding so much. :nod:

But then I've got 5 kids, so I would say that.

Once you pull people out of poverty , give them access to education and work towards gender equality, issues like overpopulation work themselves out.

When looking at population issues, you need to take a global approach. If you are going to argue that the world is over-populated, then you need to ask yourself in relation to what. If you argue that it is over-populated in relation to available resources, then you are wrong. There is plenty to go around. It is the unequal distribution of such resources that is the problem.
