Actually, I believe that white birthrates are at or slightly above replacement levels among the poorer, less educated whites, primarily in the south. (IE: the "red states")
It's only among educated, primarily progressive "blue state" whites that the birth rates are slightly negative.
If I'm right on this (correct me if I'm wrong), we're seeing what many on this forum have already said: the "progressive" SWPLs are going extinct and are being overtaken by those that don't exactly espouse their oh-so-tolerant beliefs.
Whether this is ultimately a good or a bad thing remains to be seen.

(10-15-2014 11:37 AM)Constitution45 Wrote: Oh yes, In the city I am currently living in, this is becoming increasingly common. A couple of girls in my university course converted to Islam after getting involved with muslim men. I wouldn't brand it as being common, but it is defiantly a trend.
I’m British and I live in LA. I go back to UK every year and I definitely noticed an increase in white women wearing headscarves. In UK Christianity is basically dead amongst the mainstream British population, and many of the Muslim population visibly stick to their faith and are not ashamed if it. Muslims also tend to have strong ties with their extended families, whereas the mainstream British population has some of the highest rates of teenage pregnancy in Europe. If they want a guy who’s got strong family values then some Muslim men can give them that.
Even in the US, a Korean-American woman I used to bang years ago later married a Muslim Turkish guy. She said that she fell in love with him because he had a great relationship with his family. In her own Christian family, her sister was a divorced single mother, her father was a backwards racist arsehole, and her brother barely interacted with the rest of his family because his wife didn’t get on with them.
Here's a few reasons for the conversions
Quote:According to Kevin Brice from Swansea University, who has specialised in studying white conversion to Islam, these women are part of an intriguing trend.
He explains: ‘They seek spirituality, a higher meaning, and tend to be deep thinkers. The other type of women who turn to Islam are what I call “converts of convenience”. They’ll assume the trappings of the religion to please their Muslim husband and his family, but won’t necessarily attend mosque, pray or fast.’
Quote:The turning point for Kristiane came when she met and briefly dated the former Pakistani cricketer and Muslim Imran Khan in 1992 during the height of her career. He took her to Pakistan where she says she was immediately touched by spirituality and the warmth of the people.
Kristiane says: ‘Though our relationship didn’t last, I began to study the Muslim faith and eventually converted. Because of the nature of my job, I’d been out interviewing rock stars, travelling all over the world and following every trend, yet I’d felt empty inside. Now, at last, I had contentment because Islam had given me a purpose in life.’
‘In the West, we are stressed for superficial reasons, like what clothes to wear. In Islam, everyone looks to a higher goal. Everything is done to please God. It was a completely different value system.
'Despite my lifestyle, I felt empty inside and realised how liberating it was to be a Muslim. To follow only one god makes life purer. You are not chasing every fad.
‘I grew up in Germany in a not very religious Protestant family. I drank and I partied, but I realised that we need to behave well now so we have a good after-life. We are responsible for our own actions.’
Quote:'Evidence suggests that the ratio of Western women converts to male could be as high as 2:1,’ says Kevin Brice.
Quote:For some converts, Islam represents a celebration of old-fashioned family values.
‘Some are drawn to the sense of belonging and of community — values which have eroded in the West,’ says Haifaa Jawad, a senior lecturer at the University of Birmingham, who has studied the white conversion phenomenon.
‘Many people, from all walks of life, mourn the loss in today’s society of traditional respect for the elderly and for women, for example. These are values which are enshrined in the Koran, which Muslims have to live by,’ adds Brice.

It's irretrievably broken, and the question now is what historical parallels we can use to guide us as to what to expect.
I think we'll continue to see:
*Slowly increasing levels of civil disturbances, possibly even riots over jobs, food, and public services.
In short, Roman history from 250-400 A.D.
Interesting parallell drawn there... I didn't realize there were that set of things in Rome.
But that's a 150 years period, most of us won't see more than about 60 more, and those of us in our 50s hopefully less than 35.
I get the "good citizen " credit for working in health care, but I'm not involved in politics and so I focus on enjoying my own life.

RE: Marriage Continues To Die: Marriage rates hit new, all-time low
Marriage rates will go up again when men men have something to gain from marriage again.
Aside from prestige and social acceptance in some high powered circles, modern men have no advantages to gain from marriage. Sex? anyone with some decent game or bankroll can get that anytime. Company? well, have you spent time with any one woman, day and night, for more than a week? I would tear my eyes out if I had to go through that again. Children? Well, you dont need to be married for that. Respect and love from a woman? what a joke. Emotional support? please...

You would think that it's men who's turning away from the altar, but surprisingly more women then men are shunning marriage, relationships, and children.
Excelsior talked a lot about this on RoK.

Here's one of the links he provided:

^ Check out the infographic on the top of the page. Combine this with the fact that even women in their 30's are flooded with dick, and the conclusions about men avoiding the altar just aren't true. In spite of the shit environment for men, it's actually women are are refusing men.
