We don't need anymore population in this world. [/ QUOTE ] There are some overpopulated places in the world, but saying that for the world in general (and the industrialized world in particular) is that way is way off.

[/ QUOTE ] Well, the "people suck" argument is quite different from the "world is running out of room" argument, but from an economic standpoint, nope, more people are better.

Certain places it is true though - England is absolutley ridiculous, the South East is ridiculously overpopulated.

Re: What\'s with the no kids guilt trip?
I would like to have kids b/c I would be an incredible dad (srsly), but it's still easy for me to understand why many don't want children.
Anyways, here is a question: say there was government program that offered incentives to stable, educated, intelligent couples to procreate. Assume that you would qualify. How much would the incentive need to be to have a child when you wouldn't have previously?

Re: What\'s with the no kids guilt trip?
I get this all the time. Goes hand in hand with the puzzled face question, "Why aren't you married??" Then I feel the obligatory, "I was engaged for quite a while, owned a house together, didn't make it.... yada yada yada" explanation. Drives me nuts. I knew I could take or leave kids a long time ago... My dog keeps me homebound more than I like it, let alone some screaming baby/whining child/crazy teen.
