Sadly, the stupid tend to breed prolifically, and anti-vax idiots often have a gaggle of spawn, and are keen to whelp more litters as the others die from perfectly preventable diseases
I think about that often. The people who have the most kids are generally the ones who can’t afford them and have a harder time providing extra-curricular activities or those with more extreme religious beliefs who may opt out of scientific education. If your average Mormon has 3-4 kids and your average astrophysicist has 1-2, the population trend must eventually follow.
Mormons, Jews, Protestants and Catholics, and Muslims all seem to have more children the farther down the crazy path they go. I don’t know enough about other religions.
Well the "stupid will outbreed the smart" has, for all intents and purposes, been debunked by science so you can be fearless!
We can go back to kill bugs now, for Democracy!
Of course they have many kids. They need to in order to survive their genes.
Many of their kids never reach adulthood.
Not that many of them die in Western countries although they may have shorter overall lifespans. Doesn't help that they add generations in 15-22 years instead of 25-40.
In 1st world countries I don't think that's true at all...to the point where I'll say you're flat out wrong. At least for many, many years that hasn't been the case.
Can't comment about less fortunate countries though.
They're just attempting an R strategy
Ow, my balls
Go away! Baitin'!
nods The natural order.
r strategists
Except statistically wealthier people have more kids.

A bullshit religious outfit?
Fuck off with that crap.
That has all the credibility of one of Trump's crayon drawings
That was just the first hit I got from DuckDuckGo. Look it up yourself and find whatever resource you trust, other than your gut feelings.
Something reputable
If you want to be taken seriously, don't just link the first thing you see
Especially if it's from a bunch of religious dipshits.
There are opinions, and then there are qualified opinions
Maybe I'm showing my age, but you really put in the minimum of effort by your own admission, and obviously didn't read the article to which you linked
I don't think you're stupid
I think you're lazy.
