Couples should be limited to a maximum of 2 children, in the whole world.

Continuing to increase the world population is absolutely nuts.

*I'm not interested in gradual natural declines from whatever factors. 2 max implemented now.

  • It's almost always childless young men saying this.

    For a truly contentious opinion I'd love to see a married woman with three kids say it.

    • I mean, okay let's break that down.

      Young men, okay I'm a man in my late 30s, so throw young out as your argument. Second my wife shares the same thoughts, so, I don't want to speak to her but maybe the gender side isn't as important either.

      Childless, well yes, my wife and I are both childless because of the massive problems facing the world today, mostly caused by overpopulation. I'd say being childless is more of a logical conclusion to having these thoughts rather than the other way around. It's also more likely in your assumptions that a married woman with 3 kids would be pro having kids.

      I don't know what you thought you were proving, but to me it's very logical why childless people are the people who are in favor of people having less children.

      • It was a flippant throwaway comment. I'm in my 40s, also married and also childless by choice. My partner and I being very similar to you.

        I wasn't proving anything, just making a subtle joke about a parent effectively eliminating one of their children.

        • Got it, sorry I didn't not pick up on the joke. I've been accused by my parents for being selfish that I don't want kids and so I take things as "only young dumb people have these opinions" a bit too personally. Appreciate the explanation
