Also, if you look for the statistics, smarter people are generally more likely to have kids later in life or not have them at all. That is, they try to get themselves in a position to make their kids happy BEFORE they actually have them.

Umm, I wonder were you got your statistics?

That being said, I can't believe I justified your stupid post with a response.

That's one that is focused on mainly the relationship between sex and intelligence not having kids. It's been a few years since I remember reading it, but I will post the other articles if/when I find them.

Edit: Also what about my post is stupid other than my failure to cite sources?? I felt the OP was stupid because he claimed having kids was wrong based on his view of what personal happiness is, but I don't see how my post is similarly stupid. I would like to prevent stupid posts (from me) in the future, so please do tell me where you found fault.

According to the article, only 56% of Princeton undergraduates have had intercourse. At Harvard 59% of the undergraduates are non-virgins, and at MIT, only a slight majority, 51%, have had intercourse.
