First off the American Indians (California and Texas tribes) hated the Aztecs and considered them demons who would come up from Baja desert to steal from them - how ironic. And the Aztecs were quickly killed. In addition the tribes were constantly raping, cheating, lying and killing each other. Calling the Europeans "bastards" and "invaders" is the same talk Hitler gave to the Germans - on sided, arrogant vain propaganda that never looks into the ills of the one speaking it. Add to fact that so called indigenous peoples were them selves ALL invaders at one time or another -and- that white people may have actually been the first to migrate here 7000 years ago -and- that blacks were the first to migrate to the Brazilian area just to be genocided by the new invaders (today's indigenous people), etc. When you added up all the facts the Europeans were the most civil and generous newcomers compared to their counterparts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-62127147017607671912007-12-18T13:56:00.000+00:002007-12-18T13:56:00.000+00:00It doesn't matter how many kids you have or what r...It doesn't matter how many kids you have or what religion you are; in the US we have the right to choose those things.

If only more people knew why their standard of living has diminished so much - the Federal Reserve and fiat money. It's an erosion of wealth by stealth and that's why the root cause has gone largely unnoticed for so long. The abundance of credit helps hide the economic reality where even a well paid engineer lives check to check and can't afford to buy a house and a nation with a savings rate of zero.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-47783357894193809872007-12-18T05:30:00.000+00:002007-12-18T05:30:00.000+00:00I think you people are shameful -- saying such ter...I think you people are shameful -- saying such terrible things about the lady with six children.

I am a college educated, middle-class, Gen-X'er whose values generally run counter to what you've been told a Gen-X'er (or American, for that matter) represents. I'm married, with six beautiful, healthy, young children (yes, they are all ours), and live comfortably on $110,000 per year. My wife - who is smarter than I am - works harder than I do, but never earns a dime for her labor of love. We certainly don't fit into your characterization of a reproducing American as we've never lived in a trailer, accepted any handouts from the government, or immigrated from a third-world country. Since you've obviously got a pre-conceived notion of what a large family in America looks like, it would be a waste of my time (and this space) to describe my home and lifestyle to you; you wouldn't be able to wrap your mind around it anyway. You should get out more and interact with real people in America, not your friends masquerading as happy, content people because their ideal materialistic family of four has it all while Mom & Dad are enslaved to their jobs to pay off their "keeping up with the Jones's" lifestyle. I've met far too many me-first childless couples (by choice) and families with two kids who are miserable, yet I've never met a large family that was not full of joy and who didn't contribute far more to society than they consumed.<BR/><BR/>You can thank us later for helping solve the Social Security and Medicare crises since our kids will be contributing through payroll deductions to fund your (and mine) entitlements well past the year 2050.<BR/><BR/>budvar wrote //// The world lost 2 generations of the cream of mankind in 2 world wars, now the brightest and fittest amongst us feel their career/lifestyle is too important to bother with kids.////<BR/><BR/>Yeah, and we lost another generation (40 million and counting) to legalized abortion from 1973 to present, so what's your point? At least your presupposition is consistent: that the brightest and fittest among us are no longer reproducing. But evidence abounds to contradict your assumption. Who has been having all of these abortions - the "brightest" and "fittest" among us? How many "bright" people do you know or have you heard of who elected to kill their offspring? Abortion aside, how many "bright" people do you know who would choose not to have a child to leave a legacy in the form of a child to carry on the family name?<BR/><BR/>You're also suggesting that only the brightest and fittest among us enlisted in the armed forces and sacrificed their lives during the major wars of the past 70 years? Both assumptions are laughable. Most of those who died were not leaders (the brightest and fittest among us), they were followers (rank-and-file soldiers). That in no way minimizes their sacrifice, it's just disingenuous to categorize all members of the military as our nation's brightest and most fit, and you know it.<BR/><BR/>For all of the other bigots out there trolling this site: we're not Mormons or Catholic; just God-fearing Americans who are extremely blessed by our Creator and disgusted by the overwhelming sense of me-first, materialistic secularism that has overtaken this country. I don't want a theocracy, or a partcicularly religious leader in control of our country. I just wish that contrary to the media's best efforts otherwise, there would be some enlightenment in America to those who rail against anything God or religious either out of ignorance (have you actually <I>tried</I> a real relationship with Jesus Christ before you bash Him?), or out of a desire to be their own God (in control of your own life, to Hell - literally - with the consequences).<BR/><BR/>I'm prepared for the God-haters to come out en masse and tell me how narrow-minded and foolish I am for having faith and living it out. So be it; I am at peace both in the here-and-now, as well as where I will spend eternity.

I am now in my late 30s and married; I have experienced significantly reduced (adjusted for real inflation or housing inflation) wages in the I.T. industry (after the tech bubble implosion). I have decided I will not be having any children since I can no longer support a household on my engineering salary. <BR/><BR/>Luckily, my GF is okay with this; she has kids from her previous marriage that spend weekends with us sometimes. And luckily, she doesn't mind working to help support the household. <BR/><BR/>During George Bush's tenure, my life went from "the future is so bright I gotta wear shades" to the current status of basically "waiting for death". Regardless of any future retractions in the housing market, it will be too late for me and mine. <BR/><BR/>I think this is something that touches people so deeply that you should create a thread about how the housing market and the "race to the bottom" global economy has affected people's most important decision in life. Most of my friends (college educated) without kids no longer considering this a viable choice anymore.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>AMEN!!!! I completely agree with you. Although I believe that having children in this life (which I don't have) should be a blessing, it isn't. Between lower wages, higher costs of living, inadequate education, etc. the blessing becomes not only a spiritual drain but more significantly a financial drain - that for many becomes unbearable.
