You haven't addressed my point, which is, how do you plan to support your kids, without relying on other taxpayer's money?
To me, I feel like I shouldn't be paying any taxes, but I still have to. No one can do whatever they please.
And your kids are going to cost me, unless the government keeps going into debt.

The one thing that has contributed most to human overpopulation is the advent of immunization against disease. Which is a completely unnatural and harmful branch of Science. Disease serves a purpose on planet Earth — perhaps the most important purpose of all — it kills off the weak

Don't be idiotic. Quality of life should go up, but reproduction should be managed in a sensible and responsible manner. Disease is not the answer, reproductive limitation is. Unless ofcourse you prefer backward undeveloped society full of disease and rampant early death (go move to one).

You assume too much in saying that I hate children. As far as the China reference, poor countries tend to have more kids, period. Look at India, no restriction and their population is projected to surpass China by 2030. The Chinese were smart to adopt the one kid per couple law.
Anyway, I never said that we should adopt it as law, only as a guideline. However, you can't expect other countries to follow if you don't make an example. And no, you can't just say it's none of our business, because once China modernizes, the effects on the environment will be exponential.
