Their "off the top of their head" reply is NOT NOT NOT their unbiased opinion. Their judgement is clouded by their affection for their kids. Life is always easier without kids. If you dug deep into their souls and asked for an opinion based on only logic, not feelings, they would say their kids made their life more difficult.
Where are you getting these numbers from?
About 35% of pregnancies in the US are out of wedlock, we need 15% more to get to 50% to deem the majority of pregnancies as not planned. I think it's safe to say that we can assume that many are married couples who simply did not care and had kids without any long term prior planning.
Again, the facts say one thing, and yo magically pull something out of your ass to make them say what you want them to.
I think John Lennon himself said that kids today (well the 1970s, it's even worst today) aren't planned, their created out of "bottle of wiskey on a Saturday night." This was in an interview, not a song.
Now thats what I call a fact.
Intelligence! Because people with the financial means to enjoy their life do not want kids to ruin the party. They do not want to spend their life babysitting. Who can blame them?
Most people with the financial means can afford a babysitter.
And most poor people who have kids are probably simply guilty of nihilism. They simply do not care or are mute to the consequences of their actions.
Here you are again, talking about most this most that, when youve got nothing to back that up.
