I agree with you. I do think this article was a bit unfair though, in that it did not present other parts of his speech where he basically makes that point.

My whatthefuck meter just exploded.

I want to star this but it’s so gross.

Noooo! As someone who found maternity leave incredibly stressful, I want to FORCIBLY stop you from doing this! Just get super interested in a tv show with 10 seasons of hour-long episodes. I watched Rome while on leave.

Africa has the highest fertility rates in the world.

Yeah I agree, as does Macron who has said so in this speech and others.

I suspect you did not listen to his entire speech, and are not familiar with his past statements on the subject. He blames colonialism and the exploitation of resources for these problems.

Why not?

The breweries around me are typically full of kids. It’s fine.

Same. The breweries where I live have playgrounds and kids areas and whatnot.

I live in SW Michigan. The breweries are mostly super kid friendly. I love it.

I take my kid to brewpubs/breweries during the day. It’s a thing where I live. Most of them actually have playgrounds and shit. I don’t give a shit if you swear in front of her. She’s in a public space. It happens.

Probably, yes. It’s really sad to think about but if you know there’s a high likelihood that half of your children will die in infancy you’re probably going to have more of them.

There are plenty of pics of her from the same day playing with and hugging the kids without gloves on. There are also pics of black people serving food with her wearing gloves.

Actually part of the reason for the high fertility rates (and high HIV/AIDs rates in some countries) is the piece of shit Catholic church’s campaign against safe sex.

I interpreted “civilizational” to mean something like “so big it threatens our entire civilization” but maybe I’m being charitable.

I did not interpret Macron’s statement as racist, but FUCK people who say “You’re the racist for bringing race into this!”

Oh okay. I get that reaction, I really do. But the judge probably felt it was in the best interest of the child. In these situations that is the standard judges go by. In the long term, it is surely in this child’s best interest to get as far away from these piece of shit “parents” as possible. But right now, he…

It’s great that their fertility rates are going down but that doesn’t mean that countries on the continent don’t tend to have the highest in the world (way to cherry pick that data, btw).

Why would you write something like this when you have no idea what you’re talking about? Why not spend the time learning about the situation instead of pointlessly speculating?
