Actually, Anime_Queen, it's closer to $87,000,000
Actually, that will still be impossible. The majority of the world's population earn nowhere near that sum their whole working life let alone to provide thattype of money to bring up one child. Besides, that would mean that the poorest countries would have the lowest population numbers and vice versa, which is not true. My parents were papuers for years and years but managed to keep and bring up all 6 of us just fine. Maybe because in the Qur'an it tells us (muslims) to not worry about the sustenance too much :

"And do not kill your children out of fear of poverty; We shall provide for them and for you. Truly, the killing of them is a great sin" (17:31) (i.e in abortion or otherwise)

It's good to see that there are still those in this world that do not practice premarital intercourse, Ryuin. Abstinence is so rare these days... Personally, I find the distinct lack of fidelity in our times apalling.
heh.. rephrase that to : abstinence in the US/Europe In all Islamic countries it's a rarity and a scandal if someone had sexual relations with another outside of marriage. Heck, we're not even near having *sexual* relations. Even hugging/kissing isn't done before then ~__^ *is abstaining from a lot at 21 years old*

erm.. I am sorry Mrs. G for hijacking your thread
