    I do agree with distaff about the political correctness that has invaded our education system.

    And I do agree with Reinz that every generation feels that the way they were brought up was tougher and better than how children are being raised today. That being said I really do feel that with the deluge of technology available today that children are missing out on being kids. I watch my friends hand their kids ipads and iphones, instead of playing catch and teaching them how to fix things.

    When I was a kid all I wanted to do was come home from school and play outside, catch fish/crayfish/frogs from the lake and go to baseball/football/lacrosse practice. Now we have kids being expelled from school for wearing American flag t-shirts and praying after a football game.

    No doubt things have gone awfully awry in the US, but if you want kids, and feel that you are in the right place for it emotionally and financially, you shouldn't let any other factors deter you. My family endured unbearable hardship in pre-Nazi Europe, and still created families and had productive lives.

    The fun part about life is that we get to decide how we want to live. Sure we all have financial and other restrictions, but within reason we should all live how we desire. If you want to have kids, breed leopard geckos and take your kids hunting and fishing then do it. You will be way ahead of those families that sit in their sterile trendy homes and do what the mainstream media and MTV tells them to.
