(was commenting on a story and suddenly this resulted in the letter, it might be a fun read, should probably have some of the previous letter but i think it stands well enuf on its own)

oh and hey, more thoughts about noble barbarians.

If one should be more realistic about that, then of every litter (if a species has litters) then at best two would be the survivors of all the sickness and such things as hunger.
Then comes all the dangers of the young adult, and all what that contains with hunting so if they where lucky of ewry litter born one would survive long enuf to sire/bare a litter of their own.
Then are the added "benefits" of no contraceptives when the culture comes far enuf to have rudimentary health care and germ/virus prevention by something simple like soap and rubbing alcohol.
Yeah hunger and overpopulation seems always to folow, as it simply cant keep up with the new population pressure, add that to religeus problems like "go out and multiply" and "contraceptives are evil" and such crap.
Then again doctors may be considered evil too, (after all takes some power away from the mind bending priests, until they learn it/some so they can go "spread the word" of their kind of crazy/culture )

Yeah i am bored.. ;) lol

And i could continue which the people witch think mud huts are soo noble and we should all go back to living the more simpler life..
But i think i don't really need to, i am sprouting enuf "stuff" as it is. LOL :)
