I think people nowadays just dunno how to screw anymore. Or maybe they saw how their parents screwed up, many decided to screw down.

 

[sochi2014]

Israelis believed in God's words.

Genesis 9:7
New International Version
As for you, be fruitful and increase in number; multiply on the earth and increase upon it."

Most Singaporeans are Buddhists, Taoists and Atheists and don't believe in God!!

Hence the lower birthrate.

Okay I have performed my duties and please don't come and bug me!!
