“LOL”
I was, maybe I still am, involuntarily on your ping list. I occasionally even agree with your postings. I just don’t respect indirect attacks. I’m done. I have just about beaten this one to death.
Is FRUITCAKEY even a word?
* Whites arent having children. Just like every other society throughout time, as the society became more prosperous the people became more self-centered. Why have children when you can spend money on yourself?
Tom:
I have two children. I would have LOVED to have had more — five or even six!!
BUT, I have to pay not only for myself and my children but for all the welfare moochers too who can have ALL the children they want...while the government pays for it!!
My taxes are satanic. That’s why I didn’t have more children, we couldn’t afford it!!
BoB: we are Christians and many of our friends are Christian. They have large families, 3,4 and 5 children, and none of them worry about the cost. If you’re trying to give them all the latest toys and gadgets (iphones, ipads, cars), well yes, you can’t afford a huge family unless you’re wealthy. But education is free (home schooling is even better) and colleges will throw money at your if your income and expenses are high.
Don’t let college costs scare you. My wife and I are not underpaid yet our oldest, who was pretty sharp, got lots of financial aid from the private colleges in Southern California. I pay less for her to attend Stanford than I would if I sent her to one of the UCs or even the Cal State campuses. Friends of ours, with four lovely daughters who spent most of their K-12 years being homeschooled, are on a very limited income. Their triplets are all getting an education for free from colleges like Pepperdine and Mount Holyoke. It’s pretty amazing how generous the colleges are — the private ones, that is — these days.
The only reason we stopped at three kids is because of age. Mrs Tom H and I married at ages 30 and 29, respectively, and suffered through some infertility, not having our first for almost seven years. I would’ve had at least four kids had time allowed.
