If you really want to get discouraged about the future

Scary and depressing for our future. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNi0egotQ-w. I've done my part, with 5 children. But my kids have not as well, with only 12 children between them, barely the replacement rate.

And I've had none. A combination of no desire and a complete lack of talent.

‘So careful of the type?’ but no.
From scarped cliff and quarried stone
She cries, ‘A thousand types are gone:
I care for nothing, all shall go.

‘Thou makest thine appeal to me:
I bring to life, I bring to death:
The spirit does but mean the breath:
I know no more.’ And he, shall he,

Man, her last work, who seem’d so fair,
Such splendid purpose in his eyes,
Who roll’d the psalm to wintry skies,
Who built him fanes of fruitless prayer,

Who trusted God was love indeed
And love Creation’s final law–
Tho’ Nature, red in tooth and claw
With ravine, shriek’d against his creed–

(Tennyson, In Memorium)

And if that ain't enough, try Poe: The Conqueror Worm

Same here Zero interest in raising kids.

He is certainly an acquired taste. But his videos are often excellent commentary of what is happening in the world today. Some of his videos showing and explaining the impact of unrestricted Islamic immigration in Europe are really eye opening. And many of his videos are much lighter, amusing and informative such as the several he has done on the absurdities of modern art and modern architecture. Personally there are few folks on YouTube that I watch regularly, but he is one of them.

I/we have 3 kids and raised my Cousin who has come to recognize me as " Dad". Grouch Attack's Cousin and hubby had no kids. Now they're beginning to be concerned about who will take care of them in their declining years. Guess what? All those years of only thinking of one's self and not having to do the dirty work of child care have suddenly reared an ugly head. They were taking vacations when I was working night and day to keep the kids fed and clothed. They built a very nice house and drove new cars while I raised 3 kids in a 1000 square foot (plus basement) farm house and drove the cheapest vehicle that would get me to work and home dependably. Now, it's a struggle for them to take care of that now 40 year old house, their health is declining, and even their siblings are senior citizens.

Extend this situation out to society in general and the need for workers will put tremendous pressure on those that wish to limit or even control immigration. Europe's acceptance of millions of unvetted Muslim immigrants was in great part due to the need of shrinking European populations to have young workers that can fill the ranks of society's need for low and unskilled labor. Now they are beginning to suffer the threats to their cultures that should have been foreseen long ago. The same pressure will increase in America as American women, of all races, average fewer and fewer children. When we "need" foreign workers to fill the jobs that Americans cannot fill because there not be enough of us, we too will see our culture rapidly change into one that many of us will no longer recognize. That is when the USA will start to become the next Venezuela faster than you can imagine.

3 children of my own who have produced 11 grandchildren and now soon to have our 1st Great grandchild. We’ve done our part and then some at age 60 I have a 12, 6, & 5 yr old in the house due to deadbeat POS fathers and an irresponsible daughter.
I’m Poppa and their financial father combined. My wife and I decided we would not allow them to live in drug infested total poverty. We both love them and as long as we can we will try to give them a better chance in life than them trying to climb out of where their parents are. We’re not in our 30’s any longer and joined the growing number of grandparents in this country who are raising children. We wasn’t supposed to be doing pta meetings and meeting with teachers at this time in our life but oh well it is what it is. My first rant for awhile but younger adults that aren’t worth a damn should be neutered and not allowed to reproduce.

We've got so many grandkids and great grandkids that we can't keep count of them. If anybody wants to buy a few we'll make you a good deal on them. No refunds, sold as is where is. Offer may be void where prohibited by law. If it is give us a call we can still work something out. :wink: :wink:

NOTE: We'll require a release form to be signed before any sales are final where that we're not held responsible for any national disasters that may ensue. :D

I've also produced zero ankle biters .....that I know of.
Never liked children, they're like a little crawling, noisy, petri dish.
They've got more germs then a subway handrail, some dogs won't
even lick em.
We've got dog crates in the basement if people insist on dragging
them into our house!

You're pretty lucky that your parents didn't feel the say way you feel.
