		<description>It is absolutely selfish to have kids. I also don&#039;t want to have kids. When I talk with friends who want to have kids, they all sound selfish to have kids.</description>

		<description>Great Posts everyone!

Nice to see what we Really think on this important issue. My two cents would be: when is humanity gonna act as if we are already grown up? We wait on governments, babies, and advertisements to sew up the loose ends we do not take care of ourselves. And thus throw our responsibilities on little innocent babies that throw theirs on more babies. The apple may not fall far from the tree, so we need non controlled minds to shake us all up!</description>

		<description>Used2B, I love how you have these little snide remarks to people that value different things than you do. I especially love the &quot;its a little joke parents have to people&quot; line. You&#039;re so full of yourself trying to put people down who love their career or their sleep more than a child. You make me sick.</description>

		<description>You know, coppercobra, you don&#039;t have to have sex to feel good. There are other ways to achieve pleasure with your significant other than are even more fun and pleasurable than sex. But I forget, it&#039;s easier to lay back and let some chump do the work then to try new things. I hate prude countries</description>

		<description>Loly, stop that crap. Pregnancy is avoidable. I hate people that use that &quot;things happen&quot; BS excuse for preventable things. Close your damn legs or stick to foreplay or masturbation to feel good, you dumb broad.</description>

		<description>I love disposable income too and I monitor and protect an entire school district&#039;s computer network so kids can have a chance to learn in a hacker free environment. I get satisfaction that I have a degree and I live in a big home with two of my best friends that I know will be here even if they get married and have kids. I will not die alone as you so ignorantly put it. You&#039;re so funny to think you need kids to not be alone, and I&#039;m going to be classless and say, you stupid bastard. You should be ashamed of telling people to grow up just because they refuse to add another life into this crumbling society. Get off your pedestal and come back to reality, soccer mom (don&#039;t care if you&#039;re a guy).</description>

		<description>Though I used to be a child-free woman till I recently found I got knocked-up, I don&#039;t see myself any different. Since this will be my first and only child, I do not judge because I now know what it&#039;s like to be on both sides of the fence. Yes, I didn&#039;t want a child for another 2 yrs or so, but things happen - and I live by the choices I make; I do not regret anything on any side. I wish people on both sides can see that there&#039;s more than just &quot;no-kids&quot; vs &quot;having a kid&quot; differences, and be on the same page on some things... which in this society, is bound not to happen.</description>

		<description>I couldn&#039;t have said it myself! I used to want kids when I was younger, still in my teens but I read Ellen Peck&#039;s book, The Baby Trap shortly steer I got married.  I had to read it twice before I saw her point of view. I left my husband so he could become a breeder. I  am much older now, wiser and certainly am glad I didn&#039;t have kids! Like you said, there are so many who shouldn&#039;t be parents. They are nothing more than baby pumps, many of these girls cannot wait for the alter before they&#039;re pumping babies, hence the baby mamas and baby daddies. Not husband and wife, mommy and daddy. I never needed to see myself in miniature, I have better things to do with my life than being sombody&#039;s mommy. Today&#039;s society is not fit for the raising of good-natured children. Far too much violence everywhere. The video games emphasize this. Nope, I am happy to be child-free!</description>

		<description>Here&#039;s the run-down:

Stupid people have the kids because it&#039;s a &quot;miracle&quot;

Smart people don&#039;t (or just have one that they send to private school)



Haven&#039;t you seen the movie Idiocracy?

		<description>Tracy, 
It is a double standard.  

But people are conditioned and brainwashed and scared of what others will think.  By you not having kids, I think a fear mechanism is engaged in others who do have kids and makes them realize/remember what they gave up when it was just the two of them and not a house of screaming and yelling critters.

Stick to your inherent desire to not have kids is my  thought.  We have three and love them but, believe me, no matter what people say, it doesn&#039;t get easier and the &quot;reward&quot; has yet to present itself.

I think I&#039;d rather wrestle alligators!  ;)</description>
