I'd ask how many kids your grandparents had, compared to how many you or your own kids have, but I think we already know the answer isn't comparable. I wasn't speaking anecdotally though, Western culture in general has been declining for over half a century. Kingpin. You have been warned.

But I was referring to Fiji in my comments. Sorry if I confused you or made an incorrect assertion. My mistake in not clarifying the direction of my comment.... sorry. I should have remembered that the topic was Philippine Welfare, not universal welfare. Edited October 20, 2023 by Tommy T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
