False. It has only been passed by the lower house, now it goes to the upper house. Then it will grace the desk of The Last Post Win Thread's president for all eternity: me.

It's probably impossible to keep it consistent anyway. 

Am I weird for pony posting even though I believe MLP is an affront to human culture?

To be honest I find this sort of disingenuous. I'm not sure whether you're insinuating it's liberals only that are not having children, or assuming that all millennials are liberal. Or it's by country fertility rates.

Anyways your source literally talks about why Africa tends to have higher fertility rates and what that means- It doesn't really mean anything for us. Africa is growing financially and technologically but unless they become a source of something we (Americans) direly become dependent on (that we aren't already dependent on China or Saudi Arabia for) I don't see why it would be an issue. Overpopulation as most people interpret it is a myth anyways. Populations always stabilize naturally (and in some extreme cases such as China, artificially) due to resource constraints (at least usually in sustainable constraints.)

As has been pointed out before, India and China are in a lot of the cases the leading cause for climate change and we can't really do anything about it (besides not burning our own forests and shit like that.) So really in any case we're pretty screwed unless there's a major sharing of knowledge of/materials for clean energy and/or Nuclear Energy to developing countries and/or China and India. But that probably won't happen because we're A. probably incapable of such massive scale industrial production because of course we'd want to sell it to them, B. (rightfully) scared shitless of nuclear weapons proliferation. (It doesn't really matter in the case of India and China though, they already have nukes.)

For your first point, there is correlation between fertility rates and political affiliation.

For the rest of it, I thought a part of what you were originally saying that not raising kids some sort of act of environmental justice. Well whatever the reasons, by all means, (don't) go ahead.

I too, am a computer science major, but I think I'm a little more obsessed with it than most, but I don't think what I'm getting at here is obscure. Who knows though, I'm not knockin' you guys for that since not everyone walks the same path. Do some research, and we can talk more.

Yeah I have to agree. I'm a lowly HSc major and even I know, this is out there.

This is more EE and IT than CS, but there is enough overlap that any computer scientist worth their salt that has worked in the industry should be able to say that this is complete bullshit almost to an axiomatic degree.

I hated every second of reading this thread but I think I should answer the question because I don't think anyone pointed it out really well:

It's childless people (I'm not going to get into the arguments of it being atheism or not) because they probably don't want to raise children in a world that is outright detrimental to human health with very grim prospects. Or alternatively, it could be because the American economy sucks (because we're pretty much talking about America only here) and no one wants to go into debt trying to raise a child. Or they straight up can't afford to. Also it turns out that the family income affects the quality of learning of children. What a surprise. source1 source2 source3 source4 source5  source6  source7 source8 source9

 

When your political rivals are so distraught with the prospect of a dark future that they voluntarily remove themselves from the gene pool. 

But Africa is going to out breed us all anyway

and at some point will develop a bigger carbon footprint per capita. So it's all in vain anyway.

It's Big Mac saying "Nope"
