Sweet. You want to go and mow mine now? It's not much bigger than yours.
My hand is already bleeding from mowing this one.

I think one of the biggest things about democracy is that it makes everyone feel like they are not at fault for the results. They can blame "society" rather than accepting that they should work to ensure good government.

How many households still have their biological father in them? How many kids still live one, if not both, of their biological parents? How many children are being raised by a family member that is not their biological parent?
We are the first era to know who the biological father was. It's believed that the family unit is strengthening, not decaying. The past wasn't that idealogical. You can make lots of fine arguments that family units are not strong. but I don't think that you can make that argument in the relative sense to the past.
We are, for example, the generation with the lowest teen pregnancy rates, ever. So many assumed social problems of the past are effectively gone today. The past wasn't the rosy place that we imagine, not one hundred years ago, not a thousand years ago.
Since you brought it up, why is teen pregnancy a bad thing?
How about destroying one's chances of furthering education as a start. Insufficient income would be next....
What about teen pregnancy prevents further education? Insufficient income? Well, I guess all those kinds in China should just be dead then, eh? or you pick whatever third world country you like.
Lack of education does not lead to death. you do realize that China as one of the lowest teen birth rates, right?
Everything about pregnancy, teen or otherwise, leads to less educational and career options. Kids take time and resources that would otherwise be available for education and career.
Did you see that my China comment was preceeded by "insufficient income" that is where I was going, not the education thing. I am fully aware that lack of education does not lead to death, again, how would we be here as a species if that was true.

Lack of education is linked to early death in modern humans - check out some of the studies that have been done on the topic.

Since you brought it up, why is teen pregnancy a bad thing? From what I can tell, mostly because society (people) have deemed it so. Of course biologically, we are living much longer than we did 100 years ago, and definitely a lot longer than 500 years ago, so the need to jump right into having children to keep the species alive is no longer there, but biologically I thought we were, as a species, designed to have children in the teenage years?
Because teenagers are still immature idiots, nowhere near ready to handle the responsibility of raising a child. There's something to be said for living some of your life, having some real world experiences before the shackles of Parenthood are upon you.
Huh, I wonder how we got here as a species then? Most of our human time on this earth had our species having children while being teens. That seems to disprove the lack of ability to raise children.
Frankly, I would say today's society of not holding people personally responsible for their actions has lead to bigger problems of why people don't raise their children responsibly.
That's my point. In modern society, teenagers have reached nowhere near the level of maturity of 100 or 500 years ago, ergo they have no business making babies. In the long ago, a teenager had been held to modern adult level responsibilities in order to survive. Having a kid was part of that. Now teenagers are soft and whiny, not great qualities for a potential parent.
But who's fault is this? It's not the teenager's fault they aren't being held accountable. It's their parents fault. It's the change in society.
Now, please don't misconstrue my statements to say that teenagers should be going out and getting pregnant... I'm not saying that.

I just think that our standards for maturity are much higher.
Also our technology has made our ability to injure ourselves much greater. Sure 150 years ago you could hope on a horse and go for a ride, but it was a rare horse that would allow you, the rider, to direct it to jump off a cliff, or collide with another horse. Also, the community was significantly smaller. Today, you're comparing your life to people all over the world with things like facebook, back then, you could basically only deal with the the people within 50 miles or less of you.

Well... parents, schools, employers, etc have all contributed to the collective coddling of these newer generations.
