Yeeah! Bewm!
You know what them billboards is sayin'? They's saying "'ey, woah-man! You'se fer makin' babies, rite? Rite! You best git to it b'fore ah lays the smackdown on yer lazy, non-conceivin' ass!"
Um.
On a more serious note, as it were, Richard Dawkins seems of the opinion that we'd have far fewer deaths and debilitations caused by age-specific disease if people would start breeding later, not earlier. The rationale being that it's possible for a family carrying genes to die at the age of twenty-two to last for dozens of generations... or indefinitely. He basically said in The Selfish Gene that if people would raise the "minimum breeding age" by five years or so every thirty years or so, it'd be a good thing. Um. Because, y'see, we'd weed out people carrying genes to die at age 30, or 35, or 40, or alzheimer genes kicking in at 70, or 75, and, er, we'd all live to be a hundred and fifty, er.
So. Yes.
That's the theory, anyway. |

...but then again a girl who believes she has to have sex cause she thinks the billboards are adding to the pressure she already feels sexually seems not to be my kind of choice in mate.
