speaking about retarded, 30 is kind of old to be getting kids IMO .. ok 30 is just a bit on the late side, but if people start only having sex then, it'll probably take some years in which they want to enjoy it, and the biological clock keeps ticking and the quality of reproduction keeps decreasing.
*cough*I'm 31*cough*
Anyway, 30 is the new 20 when it comes to procreation. Some theories will cite the amount of women in the labor force compared to the 70's when I was born to my, then, 20 year old mother. Which really does make sense. I wouldn't envy anyone trying to go through college, a part-time job, AND try to raise a child in their early 20's. That shit is just madness. Biologically speaking it only really gets "risky" at about 35. Even then, modern medicine has allowed 50 year olds to successfully procreate. My wife and I are pretty much planning on this being our last one. We'll just be turning 50 when the last one graduates High School. That will give us ample time to raise discord as senior citizens. Muahahahaha!!!
It's because of those damned baby boomers. It's like a fucking crime to be getting older now. And shame on you if you "waste your youth" on raising your kids. It's like some stupid rule now that you "must" be at least 30 to marry, 35 to have kids, and 75 when you retire.
It's nuts.
