We choose not to have children.

[miguel421]

nothing wrong with it.


sadly this world has too many of several things, and possibly contributing to one or more of them isn't always such a good thing.


1: stupid people - face it can happen

2: more hungry mouths to feed

3: green house gasses - yup we all fart

4: more unwanted kids




so ya know what the choice not to do so isn't all that bad.

Hhahah I'm with those that do not want children. It's funny, that some of the people judging you are religious, when the bible says not to judge others...*SIGH* Just say "I don't want any, period. Get over it." I have and they never bother you again.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

Thank you. I'm very pleased to hear so many of you plan not to have children. My mother thanks you, my father thanks you, the forums thank you...

And I really don't understand why people feel bad about NOT having kids. I actually feel superior to the people WITH kids. Oh, you can't do anything because you have to take care of your kid? Ok, we're going out to have some fun. Oh, you haven't taken a vacation in forever because you've had to spend all your money on your kids? Ok, well, I'll send you a post card from Japan.

Or, why don't you have kids? Ah, I've thought about that, but then I go to the Mercedes dealership and forget all about them. Oh by the way, nice mini van...and I think your kid just sh!t in his pants.

:laugh:

I concur. :laugh:

NO! Nothing of the sort. It's more like murdering everyone that has ever come before you.

You must be fun at parties.

Please provide me a rational line of thought that would justify ending your evolutional existence. I can't wait.

Existence is finite.

Tell that to your DNA which has been around an amount of time longer than you can really truly fathom.

I understand that, but someday our sun is going to swell to a red giant, and then most likely shrink to a white dwarf, thus erasing all those lines of code permanently. If that's not enough, our section of the galaxy may not survive the collision with Andromeda.

Exactly.

But it might be YOUR great-great-granddaughter that invents the magic rocket-ship to fly us the f@ck out of here just before Andromeda and the Sun annihilate the species.

My husband and I have been together for almost 6 years. We are both 25 and are in no rush to have kids. We are admittedly, too selfish to think about anyone other than ourselves at this point. Yet, both sides of our family and our friends all have their own opinions about how long it should be until we start reproducing. For instance, my father was against my marriage, but has bugged me since I was 22 to have a kid. I don't get it.

Parents are another issue. They generally want Grandchildren. They'll eventually accept not having any if that's what you choose, but they'll bug you about it for awhile.

Which is understandable. They tend to remember the times that having kids were enjoyable and emotionally fulfilling (like the toddler years), and in any case get to pick and choose which duties and how many hours and dollars to invest, and don't have to put up with the day-to-day bullsh@t and crushing responsibility...or deal with the constant horror that is living with a modern teenager.

I love my little girl more than life itself, but she's still very young, innocent, and cute, and not yet brainwashed by Bratz dolls, MySpace, cellphones, reality TV, and internet smut. I didn't necessarily want kids before she came along, and everytime I see things like that video of the ignorant cheerleaders beating the other girl unconscious because she "ran her mouth" or "disrespected them" (ie, so they can post it on YouTube), I think "stupid f@cking kids!" and fear the future...

If that's your choice, it's your choice, but you will regret it later in life. Children are the greatest joy, the best thing you will EVER do in life. People who choose not to have any will never know this.

See, that's kind of a covert way of saying, "I'm better than you because I have children. You'll never know joy because you don't have them. Nyah nyah nyah."

Joy can exist without having kids, whether you believe it or not. Your joy may be from your kids. Someone else can easily find it any number of other sources.

I didn't think this was the least bit funny. The irony of the whole situation is he is calling everyone who has kids a moron as well as their kids, but where the fuck did he come from? Oh that's right. He was created out of thin air by a supreme being who gave him a superior intellect. That's why he is so much better than the rest of us mere mortals.

Dumbass :roll: I'd like to see you tell your retarded parents they are morons for having retarded kids as undoubtedly some toolbox like you said the same thing about you in the past. If it wasn't for your retarded parents I guess you wouldn't be alive. What a shame that would be.

not all sources of joy are created equal.

NO! Nothing of the sort. It's more like murdering everyone that has ever come before you.

I'm starting to think you're the ideal poster child for a childless relationship.

I have two missions here; to tell the truth in a straightforward, I don't give a shit what you think, and I am not trying to convince anyone of anything, kind of way, and to piss off as many unthinking nitwits, whether they agree with me or not, as possible. When I can get someone to agree with me AND hate me, I have succeeded in the ultimate challenge.

I will never make it easy to agree with me. In fact I knid of like the idea of people disagreeing with me just to spite me. I lose zero.

However, I am right most all the time and I am arrogant about it.

I think what is most fun for me, is that I used to think a lot like most people. I cared more about how people viewed me, than the truth. I cared more about people's petty feelings than my own, and I cared more about my own feelings than about truth. Then I had some experiences that altered my viewpoit irrevocably. Now I can clearly see that as a culture, we have been misled. The status quo has been correpted by inconsistent ideals. Though our hearts are in the right place, our society is short-sighted and brutally run down by beurocracy, double-talk, and mis-information; it makes poor decisions. If my answers challenge you; even if they just make you sick to your stomach. I have succeeded. I have forged in you an emotion never before present, and now you will have to process it and deal with the consequences. Have a nice day.

Oh lord, please let me be misunderstood!

Allow me to translate:

"Hi, I'm a older teenager/younger 20 something that believes he/she has discovered life's secrets before experiencing any of it. I also believe, through my sheer awesomeness and thought processes, that any sort of "logical" conclusion I come to is automatically correct, regardless of the facts involves. I also believe that I am morally superior to most of the human population, as my "logical" thought process leads me to higher moral ground automatically."

He's either ~20 or he's a baby boomer.
"Now I can clearly see" = 20 year old
"I think what is most fun for me, is that I used to think a lot like most people. I cared more about how people viewed me, than the truth." = baby boomer

My parents are baby boomers and they talk in that tense. They used to do this, and they once experienced this, etc. That kind of wording is usually brought up in some kind of talk relating to society, such as getting rid of corruption in the government "I used to think that was possible, then I realized ....."

 

[Mide]

I'm not planning to have kids. Nothing wrong with it at all because it's called a choice. Screw the people who think otherwise. Since when is it any of their business.

Nope. Want to know why? Because I am not having kids, so apparently it won't be somebody related to me

Oh and at the current rate of population growth, there is a good chance we won't be here of our own accord by the time my great-great-granddaughter was born . While we are on the topic if you want something done right do it yourself (i.e. you build a space ship to save us all )

I really like the "Children are the greatest joy" comment pacfanweb. Happiness and joy can be obtained by other things in life. For you children might be the greatest joy, but for me and others on this board children would a lot of the joy from our lives. You may have never thought of this before, but to some (like myself) children would take away from our lives. You may call me selfish all you want, but I want the money I earn going to me not to supporting a child. There are many reasons I do not want a child, and that is just one of them. I (as would the other people who decide to abstain from having children) would appriciate it if you stopped trying to tell us we need to have kids, and go back to spending time with yours (if you have them). I honestly doubt you have ever had a person that didn't want children telling you how having a child was "wrong", so please don't tell us that.

Don't get me wrong. I love kids, have one, and think its great for everyone that wants them to have them. There are plenty of good reasons to have kids, but I have a problem with this kind of reasoning.

First of all, I don't believe anyone should ever have a child out of committment for human civilization. That's just not a good motivation for the kind of loving environment all kids deserve to be raised in.

Second, your great-great-grandaughter/son could also be the diplomat that makes poor choices and starts global thermonuclear war long before the sun has its way with us. That sword has two edges.

By the way, it will take the sun at least a few hundred million years to make the surface of the earth uninhabitable. If we haven't colonized a dozen planets by then, I think something already went terribly wrong.

It was just a joke. Hence the smilie. I'll be long gone by the time the sun explodes...

They're cute as hell when they're little, but they grow up to be dogs...and chew your slippers and shit on the floor along the way.

Ah, how cute. Just think, when you are old and gray and once again shitting in your pants, instead of your faithful children cleaning it up you will have Nurse Ratched doing it.......


It is not surprising to me that with all of the youngsters on here that many say that they will not have children, but that will change. Anyway, having children is one of the most amazing expereinces you can have in life.........
