Did you just predict Poly's post? Or do you both share the same opinion?
predicted.

It depends on what you care about.
There is room for more people, shoot we could start living under da sea.
The thing is, do you want all that open space to be ravaged so that you can raise another dumbling.
I'll probably adopt in a few years, because I'm not an idiot.
Not that I really care what you're saying here, but people raised kids during the Great Depression, which was quite a bit harder than the one we're currently going through. I'm expecting #3 but it's not like the world is going to get better in the next ten years.Why would you want to have a kid in this economy? Seriously a friend of mine is expecting a 3rd child in their family and I just have to say why? It has been pretty crappy the last 4 years and you want your kids to grow up in a potential era with crap jobs and a college education that means jack? Have some common sense. Yeah you may have a good job at the moment, but when things go tits up, you will wish you had that extra income saved up instead of blowing it on a kid.

Yerp.
There's never a good time to have a kid. Just suck it up and do it.
this about sums it up.as long as they can fund them.
Placing a child in this world. The outlook is something along these lines:
Stay dumb because the shool system is broken.
Work like a slave in 2-3 jobs just to get by - if you can find one that is.
Experience to be on the losing side of a class war.
Governments pissing all over your rights a little bit more ever year.
Living through the great system breakdown with the resulting wars, civil wars, exploding crime rate and everything-goes-down-the-crapper that will occur once oil gets really expensive.
The list goes on and on, and I'm not even including SkyNet and related topics.

The word outlook was placed in the post to point out it's a look into the future where current trends will get worse because there is no reason to think otherwise. The masses are just educated enough to be useful for work. Beyond that being dumb is preferred because it makes life easier for people with money/power. The amount of people who think intelligent design is on the same level as evolution and should be taught in science class is scary and the number of people who believe in other fairy tales like homeopathy are not exactly encouraging either. Mass media turned news (in the sense of "the knowledge of things that happen so that one can build an informed opinion about it") into a farce. The ratio of crap to investigative journalism suggests that we need Spider Jerusalem to save us in 15 years max. A dumb, badly informed populace is easily manipulated. The gap between rich and poor gets wider and wider. People who will get by with one job will not be the majority.Man, I'm not even an optimist and yet I have to correct this like a mofo.
Yes, the school system is broken, but the masses are more educated now than they have ever been.
While it's unfortunately that some people have to work 2-3 jobs "just to get by," the majority of people are working 1 and doing awesome for themselves with their HDTVs and consoles and PCs and smartphones, etc. That some people are retards who buy $400,000 houses on 50k/yr salaries doesn't somehow shake this fact.
Wait, exploding crime rate? Civil Wars? But crime rates are going down and the civil wars that are happening around the world are largely peaceful upheavals of democratic reform. HOW HORRIBLE THIS WORLD!
Peeps need to calm down. There is a lot wrong with this world to be sure, a WHOLE lot even, but the end times are not nigh by any stretch of the imagination.

I recall those vids on youtube about a guy going around to randoms and having them point out a specific country, or give the name of our CURRENT vice president. They couldn't do it!
More educated on how to handle a remote control perhaps?

As for the crime rate etc, you kinda overlooked the great system breakdown that I mentioned there.
