    I wish all people would stop having kids. I am all for the voluntary human extinction movement. A very key word is voluntary though, which really just makes it an ideology.

        You don’t have to. Turns out, when you give women the option to not shove a watermelon-sized object through their hoohaws at an age when they’re not ready for it, many of them opt not to!

          And yet, people did not stop having babies, which is what the person that started this thread asked people for.

        Curiously, it worked too well. China is now desperately offering incentives to get people to have more children.

        (Okay, I’m just being glib. It’s not clear whether it was the one-child policy that was responsible for the birth-rate crash.)
