In our civics class, our teacher(about 24years old) said this(the WWII thing) wrong and the whole class including her started to laugh which made us laugh harder becuase she was laughing and kind embarassed about how it came out, she said something like "They didn't just get bored"
I still don't get how it'll be a bigger recession. More schools. More teachers. More builders. More companies making clothes/food/furniture/etc.
Maybe, in over 20 years, there will be a recession. But after WWII, there weren't any immediate problems.
Did it every occur to you guys that although there will be more jobs and we won't have to worry about a recession, there will be a lot more people. And based off of Darwin's theory, it is estimated that the world can only support 4 billion people and we are already at 6 billion...
Not necessarily true. When people buy the products, the company hires people to make the products, and those people have money, so those people buy other things and the people they buy from will have better business, so they can hire more people and get more supplies from other companies, so those companies need more people....
It wouldn't be a big deal if our economy was in decent shape.
This might just be me, but I think unemployment and welfare should be lowered or completely eliminated, so we can actually afford the baby boomers' retirements. They actually worked.
That doesn't make any sense! If there's no unemployment/welfare, then what are all the people without jobs meant to do, just die or something? They can't get a job, because everyone's being fired because of the recession, and there is no jobs! How did this turn into a debate about the economy, anyway...?
(A Person :)): are no**
They're not even trying to get jobs though. And if we can't get rid of unemployment or welfare, they could at least lower how much money they're getting. It should be the bare minimum. The government isn't supposed to support everyone.
Taxpayers aren't supposed to pay for people who can't or won't get jobs.
I get what you're saying, and I bet you're right. It sounds wrong, but once all of the baby boomers die, the economy will be going strong again, at least for a while. Less money for social security, AND more jobs. And less money to unemployment.
Not to mention, you're right about the new babies helping the economies... Once the demand for baby products goes up, more money will go to the companies who make them, and they can hire more people, so the job crisis will slowly decrease. That would fan out to the other companies involved in the production of those products,. and everyone would get the jobs they need.
I just don't agree with getting rid of unemployment... Those people can't help that there is nowhere to work. I'm sure it's not that they 'won't' work... More like they just can't.
Overpopulation won't really be a problem for long, because of the slowly dying generation of baby boomers from the 40's.
I agree with what you're saying, but where I grew up EVERYONE was on welfare, even though there were tons of job opportunities in my town. Little kids would tell teachers when asked that when they turn 18 they'll start "getting their cheques" and that is their future plan. It's a cycle and something needs to change. Welfare and social security does need to exist, but something MUST be done about the state it's in right now.
Your forgetting that after WW2 contraception was still looked down upon to an extent, meaning that more babies would have been born. But they would help the economy, just not for another 20 years. A greater demand would be placed on childcare services and baby associated factories meaning that prices would increase to lessen the competition for the goods and services.
But yeah the babies would help the world economically :)
Even if they did, the generations before then need to be prepared for this. Unlike WW2, 2012 may never happen to be the "end of days" scenario. If we cannot provide input for the younger generation (me= 19), how are we suppose to provide for a whole new generation?. What degree of preparation is already in place? I never even seen a recognition of this until now.
You hate it when people post things that you already posted, except they get way more votes and on the homepage, maybe even the post of the day, amirite?
Ahh so you are a member of an extinct species of homosapiens, gotcha :) hahah... And I think that means we win because your species died out 160,000 years ago :)
pregnancy lasts 280 days or 40 weeks to be exact.
assuming copulation happens on 20/12/2012 which is the 14th day of a menstrual cycle (when ovulation occurs, highest chance of fertilization), and 1st day of menstrual bleeding occurs on 6/12/2012. To calculate expected date of delivery (EDD) for a baby, add 9 months and 7 days to the LMP (1st day of last menstrual period). so in this case, EDD is suppose to be 13/9/2013.
hahaha you probably don't have much of a life if you spend your time on amirite (like the rest of us)! i don't mean reading random comments but if you're looking to the answer to a question, it doesn't take that long. you just have to skim
and who are you to tell me i dont have a life? haha wtf you dont even know me? and sorry for not skimming?! no need to make a big deal about it sweetheartt.
whoa whoa whoa, girlfriend, i was kidding about the life thing! you're right, i don't know you and i wouldn't for 1 second pretend that i did! i'm just saying it's not that hard and i'm not making a big deal, i'm just commenting for the next time so you don't have to ask and you can just read
everyone will have unpretected sex on december 21st because they think its the last day of the world... and a shit ton of babies will be born 9 months later...
Things were better after WWII because of the booming military industrial complex, the GI Bill, and the fact that we were the world's biggest creditor, the baby boomers had little to do with that. Not to mention we were the only industrialized nation with it's infrastructure still intact after the war, making us automatically the world's military and economic superpower.
As for a coming baby boom's impact on the economy, in a country in the fourth stage of the demographic transition, such as the US, children become an economic burden as opposed to someplace, say Sierra Leone or wherever, in the first, second, or maybe early third stages where children are an economic benefit. The upper class won't be affected very much at all, the middle class will feel a slight impact, but it's the working class which will be hit the hardest, simply worsening the socio-economic disparity amongst the American people and causing more severe issues regarding credit, unemployment, the housing market,...
(Cont'd) - crime, education, etc. Not to mention the number of people who will pay hookers for sex December 20th or 21st, which will lead to terrible problems for them on top of what we already have. STD's will go crazy, worsening the health crisis. And so many women will be seeking abortions that, unless the issue is "resolved" by then it will cause majorly huge political and social divisions. And I'm gonna stop now because I'm making myself depressed about the years to come.
Well... most people I know were born premature (not that it's a great statistic) and I was born 2 months before nine months sooo... just got an idea for an amirite!
hahahahaha I love this post!!!!!!! everybodys gonna fuck on the 21hahahahaha. I bet parents will fuck the young so they can proudly say they did die a vargin!!!!! I wish fuck day was sooner!!!
it's supposed to end on the 21st. december 21st is the winter solstice and that is the day that the world will supposedly end. get your facts straight smart one. http://www.december212012.com/
Nine months is actually about 39 weeks, not 36.If we pretend that each month is 4 weeks by default (28 days) then the number of extra days (for the first 9 months on a non-leap-year) is 3 + 0 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 2 = 21 extra days = 3 extra weeks, and 36 + 3 = 39 weeks in total. Of course, it's slightly different depending on which months it is, but it's still pretty close. So 40 weeks is still closer to 9 months than 10 months.
Maybe thats how the world really ends. Everyone will give birth to evil babies and destroy us all
genius
hahaha if that was an amirite post it would have been post of the day
I LOVE THAT...
That'll get us out of the recession.
More babies = more baby supplies + school = more jons = more money
Very well said
It's what happened after WWII. Wives were very excited...if you know what I mean
What? That doesn't have anything to do wi-
oh.
Yep, it was a big Baby Boom. :p
In our civics class, our teacher(about 24years old) said this(the WWII thing) wrong and the whole class including her started to laugh which made us laugh harder becuase she was laughing and kind embarassed about how it came out, she said something like "They didn't just get bored"
BAHAHAHAHA
if only you knew how the economy worked.....
its amazing how this started a debate about an actual issue . . .
It is, isn't it?
How does that get us out of the recession??
More babies= more kids able to get a job= less jobs available=bigger recession.
No. The kids can't even get jobs until 16 years later, and remember the Baby Boom after WWII? Everything got a lot better.
*And most people would hire an adult instead of teen. Teens don't need* jobs, so if they can't get one, it's not a huge deal.
School+babies= people able to get a job= less jobs available= bigger recession.
Fix'ed I think.
I still don't get how it'll be a bigger recession. More schools. More teachers. More builders. More companies making clothes/food/furniture/etc.
Maybe, in over 20 years, there will be a recession. But after WWII, there weren't any immediate problems.

Actually, no. I forgot about that...
Where will the companies get the money to get more teachers, builders, and workers? Getting another job? Nope, the baby boomers already have the jobs.
Well that's simple: We'd get more money from China and go into an even bigger debt than we already are!
Baby boomers are retiring soon.
And the money will come from all of the stuff that's already being bought.
What is being bought? We are in a recession!
If people have kids, stuff will be bought. You can't let a baby run around naked and without food.
have you ever studied economics?
seriously.
there's such a thing called expansion.
we're not limited to the amount of jobs we have now.
that will mean less money
Not necessarily true. When people buy the products, the company hires people to make the products, and those people have money, so those people buy other things and the people they buy from will have better business, so they can hire more people and get more supplies from other companies, so those companies need more people....
Yeah, everything got better. Until now, when all those people from the baby boom start to retire.
It wouldn't be a big deal if our economy was in decent shape.
This might just be me, but I think unemployment and welfare should be lowered or completely eliminated, so we can actually afford the baby boomers' retirements. They actually worked.

LMAO!! xD That's hilarious!
haha, i'm really curious though, i didnt realize there was another species that mastered the use of the computer :D
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_sapiens_idaltu
Ahh so you are a member of an extinct species of homosapiens, gotcha :) hahah... And I think that means we win because your species died out 160,000 years ago :)
It didnt go extinct. Theres one of them talking to you now!
Haha, yeah I was a little confused by that too, but the information he gave me said it was an extinct subspecies so I don't know who to believe :)
Haha well maybe everyone else died out except for him... all he needs a a female then he can bring his species back to life!!! :D
Dude, I thought you were a homoreptilian!
Doctor Who Ftw?

http://www.amirite.net/107419
This one's better
exactly.
Do you mean post of the day? Or are you just calling this post a repeat?

Hospitals, be prepared. There's going to be a lot of screaming.
pregnancy lasts 280 days or 40 weeks to be exact.
assuming copulation happens on 20/12/2012 which is the 14th day of a menstrual cycle (when ovulation occurs, highest chance of fertilization), and 1st day of menstrual bleeding occurs on 6/12/2012.

anyway, nice to see this post :)
280 days and 40 weeks are equally exact.
Ooooooh, I get it now! ;D
yep.

That happens all the time on amirite, it's not that big of a deal.

this question has been answered like 3 times in previous comments. you should have probably read them before you asked it :P
sorry, i have a life and i don't spend my time reading boring comments on posts. :P
hahaha you probably don't have much of a life if you spend your time on amirite (like the rest of us)! i don't mean reading random comments but if you're looking to the answer to a question, it doesn't take that long. you just have to skim
and who are you to tell me i dont have a life? haha wtf you dont even know me? and sorry for not skimming?! no need to make a big deal about it sweetheartt.
whoa whoa whoa, girlfriend, i was kidding about the life thing! you're right, i don't know you and i wouldn't for 1 second pretend that i did! i'm just saying it's not that hard and i'm not making a big deal, i'm just commenting for the next time so you don't have to ask and you can just read
haha alrightyy. :D
Bitch.

Wow, someone is a little slow...
am i the only one who noticed that its almost a year after? it only takes 9 months, not a year. theyll be born on SEPTEMBER 20th 2013
Congratulations, you managed to successfully figure out what 9998 people already read in the post. NOBODY on this page said pregnancy lasted a year.
Ok, I feel like a total idiot. Why December 21st?
:/
Because that's the date that the world will supposedly end.
People will be bouncing on each other like bunnies, haha.
oh my god. : o
this is a really great post but let other great posts be post of the day. it has seriously been post of the day like 3 times
No, this is the second time.
are you sure? i thought it was 3. well, i said like 3 times because i wasn't sure. my point is the same, though.
Things were better after WWII because of the booming military industrial complex, the GI Bill, and the fact that we were the world's biggest creditor, the baby boomers had little to do with that.

No one has to pay me;) if u know what I mean
i agree
its 9 m0nths loser
it's 40 weeks really
Fact; pregnancy is closer to 10 months than 9.
The new years eve/october 5th thing proves this.
Let the arguements begin!
Well... most people I know were born premature (not that it's a great statistic) and I was born 2 months before nine months sooo... just got an idea for an amirite!
but, statistically, most first time mothers give birth later than the expected birth date
Fact: Your "fact" is incorrect. Pregnancy is 40 weeks. I don't know how to make a link so just scroll up to #1309992.
I was born in September XD
hahahahaha I love this post!!!!!!! everybodys gonna fuck on the 21hahahahaha. I bet parents will fuck the young so they can proudly say they did die a vargin!!!!! I wish fuck day was sooner!!!
(Anonymous bill): what the fuck
My 18th birthday! So keen!
i am so confused.
I get it! lol
That's my birthday :)
most of the time babies arent born exactly 9 months from when they were "created".
ahahah this is too funny, all of you. :D wow, amazin how one issue can cause a lo of comments and disagreemets. lol. :D
i was honestly just thinking about this before i found this site
i dont get it can someone explain
Yaaaaay :) that was entertaining
It is 2015
Ahahaha the Irony, my 18th is the 20th of September,2013 :P
I really don't find that ironic.
December 21st is my birthday!
Thia post was already post of the day. Like what everyone else said... -.- Siiiiigh.
This*
Wasn't this PotD like a few weeks ago?
AND BEYOND!
Pregnancy lasts 9 months. Not 10. It would be August 20th. Just sayin'.
Count on your fingers if you have to. 9 months is September.
..think about it...January, Feb, MAr, Apr, May, June, July, August, September.....
am guessing you're an adult??
that's the day my cousin died :'(
hahahahhahahhaa
wtf.
dont be such an idiot. grow up and leave that commenter alone!
Your an idiot.
I think YOU'RE**** the idiot...
Oh lord shut up. No one cares. I'm just saying you don't laugh at someone when someone important to them died.
It'd be wise to at least use proper grammar/word usage/etc when insulting someone. <3
Mkay anonymous.
I don't get it!!
idiot, pregnancy is 9 months not 12
(smug douchebag): yeah,it is. which is why they went from the end of december(the 12th month) to the end of september(the 9th month)
(smug douchebag): 1. January, 2. February, 3. March, 4. April, 5. May, 6. June, 7. July, 8. August, 9. September.
(smug douchebag): Please tell me who said it was 12 months, because I read the post and every single comment and nobody said that.
Am I the only person who noticed that it's supposed to end on the 12th not the 21st ?
it's supposed to end on the 21st. december 21st is the winter solstice and that is the day that the world will supposedly end. get your facts straight smart one. http://www.december212012.com/
wednesday thursday friday (wtf)...duz this post mean?
i don't get it
everyone is going to get drunk and fuck like bunnies. who needs condoms when you're going to die the next day....... get it?
**supposedly die
Ha ha Fuck like bunnies.
i dont get it?
It means a lot of couples are going to have unprotected sex before the "world ends".
80 years after the world ends will be another recession
Did no one else notice how the question was worded? Op, I have no idea if you're right about your own feeling.
Babies take 9 months to be born...not 1 year :P
December to September is 9 months... ?
wow really? that stupid person up there just said the same thing.... ^^
nice troll
you clearly don't understand the whole concept of trolling...
Actuallyy, it's ten months. 40 weeks. :)
Nine months is actually about 39 weeks, not 36.If we pretend that each month is 4 weeks by default (28 days) then the number of extra days (for the first 9 months on a non-leap-year) is 3 + 0 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 2 = 21 extra days = 3 extra weeks, and 36 + 3 = 39 weeks in total. Of course, it's slightly different depending on which months it is, but it's still pretty close. So 40 weeks is still closer to 9 months than 10 months.
Umm women are pregnant for nine months, not twelve. Just saying
No one said they were. December + 9 months = September, like the post said.
Nope. December + ( months = August.
@310650 (Anonymous5432): But it's at the end of December, the 23, so give or take a week or two and it's late August - Early September
Actually September is 9 months from December.
*9
hahahahaha whoeveer said that 12 month thing is an idiot. where did you pull that out of?
12 months is one year. How is September exactly one year after December? :)
