Why do people in the U.S. have so many children?

Question

It seems like the dumber you are, the more children you have? I'm not talking about in the 60's or even the 70's when birth control was new, but right now. What the h**l? Don't people realize there's a population explosion?

Answer 1

Wow, how about less access to information on safe s*x or birth control?  Some people can't afford the doctor visits and pharmacy refills for birth control and don't know how to get help.  Does that mean they're not allowed to have s*x?  I agree that some people do seem to have a lot of kids but I don't think it's fair to call them "dumb."  If you really think people are having too many kids, try volunteering in your community to educate people about where they can get help, I'm sure there's a program that needs you.    

Answer 2

What bothers me is the people who have many children and have no means of supporting them. We have so many things to protect against pregnancy, there should really be no excuse. But people have financial difficulties or are just irresponsible. Don't have kids if you can't take care of them, they are the ones who suffer and that's just not fair.  

Answer 3

Its also the poorer you are the more children you have too. Actually there is probably a correlation between poverty and education level with the number of kids you have.  It seems to be a when people are poor they have more kids. I think it has to due with education, ability to birth control, religion, and a lot of "playing with the God given free toys." Being poor you will have less money to spend on entertainment therefore have more s*x a form of cheep entertainment. Look at Countries like India and China(until the put restrictions on number of births).  

Lack of education + Poverty=Kids

Answer 4

Because they're being selfish and unreasonable. They're just creating more problems by polluting more trash, er children. Haven't they heard of overpopulation?

Answer 5

wow thank god others noticed this too...people called me an idiot for saying USA has a massive population explosion in my school but I knew I was right LOLZ

Also most of them are living in the ghetto no offence

Answer 6

another reason would be that people feel that they have to follow religion and the "script of life" to grow up...have kids and get married ...

and there is the end... childhood - kids - marry...dead

I am childfree and would like to do more like... childhood--------->>DEAD lol

I wanna see the WORLD! and ALL it's treasures!

my first stop will be japan :-)

Answer 7

Because so many people (usually men) think they know everything about s*x, but in reality they have very little s*x education.  Almost all my high school friends got their GF pregnant, and had to get married.  Today all they do is complain about how they are still paying child support.  When I ask what they did about birth control, most of them said, they didn’t know anything about it until the second or third child.

I think that is pretty lame when you consider that none of my friends are mentally retarded, and most are educated today.

Answer 8

Because they can.
