If people are healthy and successful(and conservative) I sort of think it's a moral imperative to have children.

I usually hear the "I'll never have kids" thing from my crazy hippy cousin who is a Marxist.

Strangely I hear it on here often.

I sort of thought the "no-kids" mentality was a result of ethno-Marxist brainwashing or immoral urban consumerism(think Sex & the City TV show)

I know a couple of couples who don't want children. They've likely put more thought into that decision than anyone I know who does have children.

If only we could get more of the socialists to stop breeding.

Some people don't want kids. They should probably stop complaining about the direction or country is moving in though.

Just because someone doesn't want children doesn't mean they don't want a solid future for future generations of family/extended family. I see how you got there, but its a pretty shallow conclusion. Don't believe the choice in any way invalidates political opinions.

We do a lot of shit that contradicts our "animal" heritage. Getting into that would be a great way to quickly and effectively derail this thread for good.

It's not like everyone who has kids put a ton of thought and planning into it.  Or is very good at raising them.

Want kids? Have them. Good for you.

Demographically, doesn't matter.  The other side is outbreeding conservatives by a mile.

One thing: If you decide to have them, keep them out of restaurants.

Not complaining, I just understand that this empire is in it's twilight and I don't want to add to the misery.

Kids, even great conservative kids, will suffer just as much as illegal or illegitimate or liberal kids in the next decade or two.

I'll be dead. I'll do what I can from a empty nest. I won't have to worry if my actions will have a negative impact on my kids, just my own responsibility for my own actions.

Between my  wife and I (both conservatives), we own three companies, a couple houses and our fair share of toys. Mid thirties, no kids, just a pack of dogs and a cat and that's how we like it.

If someone doesn't want children they shouldn't have them.

Having kids out of some sort of moral or biological imperative is stupid. There are already too many unwanted and unloved children in this world. As well as too many shitty parents. Why create another?

My GF cannot have kids due to medical complications, but she would have loved to.

It's a personal choice.

Some people don't want the responsibility required with having kids. They are great, but they are hard, and it's a good thing that people are actually thinking about it instead of just breeding like rabbits and putting themselves into a situation where they won't be happy in life.

This is how I feel exactly.

I wouldn't consider myself "successful" per se, but if I would have brought children in to this world I would be much less well off than I am right now.

I believe the U.S. is facing dark times ahead. And I don't want anyone in my life dependant upon me, it's very liberating to have nothing to lose.

I agree OP, the idea of ending your bloodline with yourself voluntarily is just bizarre to me. It's unnatural. It's short sighted, and as most "no kids but have the means" folks will admit it's selfish.

I never wanted kids. It’s probably why I held out so long. I never wanted the responsibility. I found them insufferable. I feel like I got lucky with my daughter the loss of my wife notwithstanding. She only cries when she is hungry or is in discomfort; she’s not clingy; she sleeps through the night. Honestly, I would probably feel differently if she was a high maintenance baby like some of my friends have gotten stuck with. I would be miserable with one of those.

I don’t judge people who don’t like kids and don’t want them.

It's not like anyone's bloodline is anything special, go back a few generations and there are plenty of other branches that share a pile of your DNA and spread it to other people.

I always get a kick out of the people that use that argument, because if you aren't out there breeding with as many partners as possible, you aren't doing squat to proliferate your DNA. Not to mention that two generations down no one will care about you, I don't expect my great grandchildren to remember much about me, or even care that much.

Go take a helo ride, op.

Not everyone has a parental drive.

I never wanted kids, even when I was a kid I knew I didn't want any.  That feeling, that repulsion never went away.

I don't like kids.  Period.

Combine that with the developing mantra that kids are community property vs the responsibility of the parents who bore them and the govt's increased forced entry into homes "fer teh chillruns," no thank you.

When someone or some entity tries to gain power over me without my consent, I tend to go out of my way, sacrifice just about anything, in order to throw them off my back or keep them unable to use their power against me.

Our whole species is selfish. It harms absolutely no one to not have children though. If anything, it's more selfish to have children since now you will be consuming more resources to raise them, especially if you have more than it requires to sustain the population.

I have enough scratch for a proper Team membership................because I have no kids.

I also have to ask who is really the communist here?  Why don't I get a fucking tax credit for not having kids and people with kids have to pay their fair share?  That is how it should work, but I guess that makes those with kids claiming a tax credit the real communists.

Part of my desire to not procreate is genetics.  My father's brother was downs and my brother is way far on the spectrum.  Growing up with my brother and realizing you have no control over what you get for offspring and how miserable it is if you get a bad hand dealt....yeah, 18 years of that taught me the hard way genetics is no joke.
