The usual suspects: high cost of living, corp jobs sucking people dry, fear of uncertain future, all seem reasonably valid.

But no one seems willing to suggest that maybe people today are just so self centered, that they don't want such a distraction from minecraft/halo/call of doodoo.

If people can't manage to look out of the windshield of the car they're driving for more than 11 seconds at a stretch, because it's distracting from their cell phone usage, when their life is literally endangered, why would they choose to take on a lifelong commitment to another child besides themselves?



With a 6 year old around you can play so much Minecraft your eyes will bleed.
