Imagine how much money you'd save by avoiding parenthood.

No, I am the brother. You have to get undressed and stand against the wall.

 

You can actually make money if you sell your children's organs on the black market.

 

Kids are good batter dipped

Peace

 

Why did you make me purchase this 24" double ended blue dildo, if you didn't want me to use it on you?

 

I just wanted you to have something that reminds you of me.

 

The thing that surprised me about that list is how many countries have a lower birth rate than the US number.

The other points I am not going to debate here, since my thread in the Environmental forum gets into all those side issues in a good bit of detail. What you are talking about is a socio-economic breeding war, which never turns out well.

 

:cheers2:

 

Birthrates in the West are in a steady decline and have been for a while.

This idea that we're overpopulated is a complete myth.

 

Are you saying we are underpopulated?

 

No, I am not saying either.

But who decides when we are overpopulated? Which anointed bureaucrat?

 

Nice. If I ever get rich, I might consider adopting a kid. It's not just the money though. Kids take a LOT of time and energy. Do you not think it's possible to live a happy and fulfilling life without children?

Hey, their choice. They didn't have to have me if they didn't think the benefits of children outweighed their old lifestyle. My parents chose to have kids later on in life though, after they'd both received higher education, traveled the world, built successful careers, and had their share of adventure. Still, they had to give up a lot. My dad sold his plane and boat, they gave up luxury vacations, traded the fancy car for a minivan. Maybe I'll get bored with my life one day and feel the same, but I don't think I'll need kids to feel satisfied with my life.

 

Many women who don't have children become angry and bitter once they reach their late 30s/early 40s. They feel they've missed out on something special. It's a natural instinct for women to want children. It's an instinct that's been hijacked by the current culture which says that women must be career-oriented and seek material things to achieve happiness. It's a culture that encourages self-centeredness and ultimately unhappiness and insecurity.

 

I'm unhappy and unfulfilled when I go to the grocery without my daughter. So, I'd say no, it isn't possible.

 

You're 20 years old. No need to rush into a decision.

 

I can always adopt if I get too old and suddenly decide I want a baby. I'm also an egg donor, and have had some of my eggs frozen.

And what about men? Do you think it's possible for them to feel fulfilled without children?

That's because you're a mom now and have a bond with your daughter, and that's great for you. That doesn't mean it's not possible for other people. I don't feel unhappy going to the grocery store with my non-existent kids.

 

Obviously I'm not making any life changing decisions today.

 

A kids like a talking dog.

 

:chillpill:
I was just answering the question.

 

When you change your mind, I'm exceptonally fertile.

Just saying.

 

Too bad for your parents then.
