Just don’t.

I have trouble keeping my mouth shut especially when there is some sort of injustice or underhandedness at play.

If you see something that is outside your realm of understanding, your knee-jerk reaction might be to reject it. You have heard that expression that “people are afraid of what they don’t know,” and the only way to operate without fear is through knowledge of your subject matter.

Does it come to anyone’s surprise that the women of the world are showing declining birth rates? Why would you want to bring a child into this mess we call the world? What have you got against them?
