REALLY! How bad is it down south? Society is what it is, and you can't really change that as single human being. To say you don't want to have kids because of the society you would have to raise them in. Then maybe your not fit to be a parent anyways. I only have one kid, and I can tell you he is the BEST thing that has ever happened to me. I wouldn't give it up for the world, and I would move this world if I have too, to do anything to protect him and make sure he lives a wonderful life.
I could see your point being relevant if life today was more like a zombie apocalypse, or living in a third world nation with disease rampant, no food or water, and a lack of health care. If you really think about it, todays modern society in America isn't that bad, compared to other places in this world today, or the way it was in the past during the World War II in Europe as an example. You can go on for hours about this. Think about it....Modern America isn't that bad.
