What's So Terrible About Kids?
TinPenguin:
In a world where the overpopulation of our species is destroying the stability we need to sustain ourselves, it is to the detriment of the species to have more than one child. To have none at all is beneficial.
Unfortunately, those with the foresight to acknowledge this tend to be members of society whose removal from the gene pool might also be detrimental.
pwhodges:
Hence eugenics - but if you want to discuss that further, please find the already existing thread in Discuss! rather than continuing here.
techkid:
I was reading this article/blog post this morning, and coming back to this reminded me of it:
http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-questions-you-need-to-ask-to-avoid-ruining-your-life/
Read through it if you like, but point #3 (bottom of the first page) should be insightful.
Barmymoo:
I haven't got a great deal to contribute to this discussion, but I wanted to share an anecdote: the ten year old (he might be eleven - I can't work out how the Korean age numbering works, and he couldn't explain it well) I tutor just spent an hour discussing economics, the market economy, and the inequality of the British taxation system. Not all ten year olds are impossible to talk to.
de_la_Nae:
Man as I recall I was pretty impossible to talk to meaningfully at 10. Some of that was purposeful smokescreen, mind, but not nearly all of it.
