I think the basic reason people are offended by large families with several children is obviously overpopulation. The world’s resources are quickly running out. Everything from land to gas and even water is becoming scarce. Not to mention waste and polution. These problems are all directly related to population. In the olden days, several children were needed to help with the day to day survival of the entire family (eg-to help on the farm) but thanks to advances in technology, those days are over. It doesn’t take a mathematician to figure out how quickly populations can and due increase exponentially. Take for instance a large family who has eight children. If each of these children has eight children, the number starts growing at a huge rate in only a few generations (this number becomes over sixteen million in only eight generations). The earth is very close to reaching it’s carrying capacity and we continue to plunder the seas of all the fish and poison everything else with industrial waste, not to mention the greenhouse gasses. People like to place blame for these problems anywhere they can (eg.-capatalism, oil industry, automobiles, ect.) but the bottom-line problem is overpopulation. More people should adopt a lifestlye of zero population growth (two people have two kids and so on)or there is going to be no more world left for anybody to enjoy.
