If you had a crappy life and were starving to death, would you want to reproduce and bring another person into this world to be miserable also?

Cause they're too poor to afford condoms, presumably.

Do you mean by poor, starving, etc in a third world country? If so, then lack of contraception. Otherwise, well, i suppose a kid could bring a lot of joy into someone's life.

So they could send the child into school(grade school all the way to college) to earn money. Then they would leech off the child and have anything they want.

I'm sure they still feel love and follow through with desire. In severe situations (regions of Africa) they are probably "taken advantage of" by rebel militia forces. It's either let them do what they want or lose life or limb.

 Those are my guesses.

I have also observed poor people (that I've known) seem to like lots of pets they can't afford. Different but similar in some ways.

Because a lot of them see that as a way to get out of poverty. Unfortunately that's almost never the case.

The irony is that it's only when you're a rich country, does your population actually stop growing and in many cases goes down.  All of the 1st world countries are experiencing low birth rates.  I saw a documentary about this.  One story was about this classroom in Japan that only had one kid in it.  There simply weren't any around at his age.

since they need money, they need more hands in the family to bring in money therefore they have kids so that hopefully the kids end up bringing more income.

No... but someone who makes more money than they can spend should feel obligated to give to charity. Those who barely get by should feel no obligation whatsoever. Hell... the rich should be forced to give to charity.

i dunnnooo...   in some of those countries it seems like an endless cycle of people living their lives in misery.  you're born into a world of misery, disease, cruelty, and living on just enough food to barely keep you alive and then if you're lucky enough to grow up, you decide to have sex and bring another human into the world that you'll barely even be able to take care of.

I doubt it because u wouldnt know what u were missing out on, since they have poor communication ppl in Africa barely know of the technological advancement other ppl enjoy, like the phone.

maybe that's the problem with most over there, maybe they don't really know how it is elsewhere. maybe they think their lives are normal and that everyone is in the same situation as them..  do they even know that the rest of the world exists???  are they taught anything about other countries?

While I didn't mean it in so broad a fashion, I did state that I'd have to know the situation. As in, if I knew Africa were the ass of the Earth. But you do raise an interesting point...

Let me add to this. In America, why do people that are young and stupid have kids? Like the Kevin Federlines and Britney Spears of the world? Not just one kid, but kids plural.

Take away Spears and Federline's income and popularity and voila, that is almost every American their age. We don't need any more of those retards having children. Yet stupid bimbos and yo boys go clubbing every night have casual sex because well they're good looking to each other and end up with 15 children roaming around the house while tons of single parents drop out of high school or college and continue to go clubbing.

Well, they are clearly too dumb to think about the consequences of not getting a job, so they're probably not smart enough to realize that having kids and stuff costs money, and they're stupid.

That's why you do it for only like two minutes, then have oral sex after so not even pre-ejaculane goes in.

Well back in time everyone thought it was the norm to have tons of kids because they needed them for farm work and stuff. But I don't get why someone needs all these kids today. The "can't afford condoms" theory seems like the only reason why.

Preventing the release of pre-ejactulate is impossible. Avoiding intercourse is the easiest way to avoid pregnancy.

yeah, i see what you mean, i don't really agree with everyone's lifestyle either, BUT, at least they're enjoying their lives.  Lots of people out there just simply take up space and don't contribute much to society, but if they're happy, then why should anybody judge them?
