Has anyone pondered this as one of the biggest potential pitfalls in the future of British society? People who are smart, responsible adults don't have kids until they are in a solid financial situation with a good job, right sized home and have that air of complete (or near complete) stability.
By contrast, the ballsacks of British society have kids no matter the circumstances and are kept afloat by the government or blind loved ones should their neglect of thought come back to bite them.
This creates a dilemma with regards to who is actually populating our future. For every adult who has made a responsible decision to have a child in the right circumstances and will give that child a decent upbringing, 30 others are conceived by complete jerks.
To add insult to injury we live more now in a society where we don't really own anything and owe everyone everything than we ever have. Many people don't own their houses, their cars, their TVs, even their clothes. Everyone owes someone something. This further pushes ‘good’ people’s reluctance to procreate.
This isn't a discussion like that utterly stupid proposition to 'stop' people having kids that which was locked. But surely the rewards are being directed in the wrong place? I'd like a kid at some point, but I'm not realistically going to do it for the next 3-4 years because I don't believe I'm financially stable enough to support a family as of yet. However, I could drop all my responsibility right now, get my girlfriend up the duff and we'd be kept afloat. There's something wrong with that situation? Where’s my incentive by the government to procreate because, say, I contribute a decent amount to the society I live in?
You could even go far as to suggest that the problem with vast majority of the youth of today is derived from the amount of trouble they probably get at home, because they were conceived without thought by parents who don't appreciate responsibility. This then creates a further diluted problem that will pass down from generation to generation, all fuelled by the fact that parents are almost encouraged to an extent to void themselves of ambition and responsibility in the pursuit of stacking kids with rewards to boot?
