    Then they should stop having children! if i couldnt give a child a roof over there head, clean water and food i simply wouldnt have any! i dont have any children at the minute, and my body is shouting for me to have one, but until i loose weight, and get stable with my bipolar i will not have one at all.

    Maybe they should think before having unprotected sex!

    It's not that simple though is it? In a country with no welfare state, if you don't have children then who looks after you later in life when you can't do the farming yourself? Also the mindset of someone who lives in that situation will be different, as it becomes 'normal' - using your logic above the population of Britain would have died out in the Victorian era.
