This is complete bull and you know it. |
probably why I didnt say that :) The point I was making is that those material standards were sufficient to make life worthwhile. There are more than only material concerns, but having less materials than the average american is clearly no reason to not breed.

Well, we both know I said nothing of the sort.

I don't know about what conditions you think would be "good enough" for your kid to be born into, but I know mine will not be born until I can guarantee a very nice strat in his/her life - from all sorts of standpoints, not just financial, but in many other ways. |
You have a chance to achieve that. Many milions dont. I still say you dont need to be wealthy to be a parent of a child that has a lfie worth living. I think that notion is just a product of modern America.

Lets be clear that not being at all wealthy does not mean having little to offer.
