Is having sex too much of a gamble?

Realist2

I heard recently that Irish people have the most amount of youngsters in Europe under 12, surely most of these were mistakes, because in a recession the last thing u want is another kid, that could cost u close to half a million in your life taking in the inflation. sex is too much of a risk , if a condom is 90% safe, and the pill is 95% safe and pulling out is 85% safe, surely sex is a serious gamble, with 1 in 10 times ending up with a baby? any body agree, me i never gamble like that, its crazy, i have a friend not married with 3 kids, i know countless people who had kids when they weren't married that were obviously mistakes, makes me sick, what ye think?

You seem a bit bothered about people having kids outside wedlock?

If this factoid is floating around, I would believe that the majority of 'em are accidents

Dole Day is decided by the letter of your surname, otherwise they'd be queues of epic proportions.

We need kids to pay my pension.

Carry on.

Dip the wick no harm done.

Serious note though it is a choice of life style for some as they see it as money coming in and a lovely house for life.

I prefer to consider my children as life choices rather than accidents.

Yes, I agree it is a gamble for YOU to have sex!

Don't the women have the biological clock that makes them want kids?

We need to start popping them out faster, it's projected that there will be 1.4m people over 65 in Ireland by 2046... that will be a lot of pensions needing to be paid from these kids.

Are children not the outcome of natural sex?

So the very bedrock of the OP's presumption is the displacement of sex from a natural thing to a plaything of idle minds. Thus degrading the very act.

Yea like when you go to Las Vegas for a fun weekend of gambling... except this game is more like russian roulette than blackjack!

I lost a Johnny in some yoke after I blew my beans when I was around 17 I remember sweating for weeks , then she told me she found it one day whilst in the jacks in work.

11 seconds? You're doing it wrong.

Aren't you kinda making an assumption there i.e. that a good proportion of all these new babies will have jobs here in Ireland in 2046 and paying taxes to support you??

Growth is one of those illusions, the more growth there is, the more growth is needed to keep the whole merry go around turning. Until the balloon goes pop

Condoms are extremely effective in preventing pregnancy and hiv, chlamydia, etc) I'd say the problem is more when your pissed out of your mind and forget to cover the bishop, or make a balls of it by ripping it or using it wrong.

i think people should have to do a licence in order to have kids, if they don't get the licence which is a training course on how to be a parent, they have to pay the government 10 grand.

What are you basing that on? Age, martial status? Don't assume the child of a young or unmarried couple was unplanned.

My belief is: You can give one child a better life than, say, 2 or 3 etc , etc.

I'm sure some do. I don't see the point in judging them for it. You don't need to be a certain age or married to do a good job as a parent. They can sit around and cry about it or just get on with it.

Having sex is not the same as having children.

Perhaps. Two important factors (a) we also have a large number of women of child-bearing age (b) those women didn't have children during the boom.

surely most of these were mistakes, because in a recession the last thing u want is another kid,

Many people availed of the recession as an opportunity to have children - they were too busy before that.

your summing up my point perfectly, no young unmarried couple plan a kid, it doesn't make any sense financially, not giving the child a stable upbringing, if your a child, how can u raise a child, thats why i always wear a condom, giggidy giigidy

I'm not sure what you think you read but I'd be reasonably confident it wasn't that a country of 4.5 million people has more under twelves than any other in Europe.
