I don't like kids, never wanted kids and am now too old to have kids.
I couldn't care less what anyone else thinks about my choices. At least I don't have little ill-behaved miscreants running around annoying other people. |

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 believe that the couple can have as many children as they wish (like the Duggars or Mel Gibson) or no children at all. |

I do not agree with this assessment. I assume you are referring to financial responsibility. There are other types of responsibility needed, that is sorely lacked among most people. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
Almost no one on this board who can afford a computer couldn't find a way to raise kids responsibly. Back when my then wife and I decided to have a family, we stopped at one. We did the math, and decided that it was better to have a single child with a comfortable life rather than having more than one and struggling financially. Given what I'm currently paying to put my daughter through college, I am glad we had that discussion. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Economics have made having children incredibly hard...unless the .gov is paying, in which case you'll have a whole gang of them. You want to fix the birth rate issue? Change the tax code so that 1) child tax credits are not refundable and 2) child tax credits are way larger than they are now. You'll have that problem solved post haste, but it'll never happen.

This is the dumbest thing I'll read all day and the west coast isn't even awake yet. There is nothing moral about a parent being forced to raise a child that they didn't want but conceived anyways because that's what they were "supposed to do". Do you really expect someone to properly raise a child if their heart isn't committed to it?

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Most the couples I know who elected not to have kids didn't make the choice for financial/economic reason - they all can easily afford kids - instead their choice was simply because they knew having kids would seriously crimp the lifestyles they thoroughly enjoy. Hard to go skiing every weekend, or take cruises to the Bahamas, or go 4-wheeling in the dunes, etc. when you have a baby that needs to be fed, bathed, diapers changed, etc. all the time. My ancestors sacrificed so I could live this beautiful life. I have no obligation to do the same, to pass on the knowledge, wisdom, intelligence that mine gave me. I find this to be a very sad outcome of our society. I hope you don't regret it, because the pain will be hard to bear. Many soothe the pain by taking in cats or dogs by the dozen. |

I'm extremely conservative. I have four kids. I am also involved in politics (my wife and I are both elected office holders).
I am raising my kids to be successful conservatives who will run for office and are willing to cut entitlements. Hopefully they will be in office when all the childless people are in their golden years, and my children are successful in ending Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, etc. My offspring and my worldview will succeed, and this will be to the detriment of others. Too bad. |

I'm definitely not a Marxist and my wife and I aren't having kids. There is no fucking moral imperative to do so.
We have plans and goals that don't align with raising children and the time and money it takes to do so. Anyone who doesn't like it can get bent. |

The interesting part of this whole thread is that a large part of you think that just because you are conservative and have kids, you think those kids are going to be conservative. You act like you’re going to pump out little carbon copy robots lacking the ability to think for themselves.
You’re ignorant of the realities of the human mind. |

We have to remember that GD only has multimillionaire bodybuilders with a trophy spouse, and all of their DNA is made of pure gold and fairy dust.
I suppose we should all look down on people who have hereditary defects who don't want to pass on what caused them pain their whole life. Fuck those people for not giving their offspring the pain and disadvantage that GD millionaires would cure themselves instantly of with their magic powers. Blowing your load in someone to get them pregnant does not make you noble or special and it sure as hell doesn't qualify you for being a SUPER PARENT like all GD people are! GD should have the government make a law to force the world's available women to self impregnate with GD members' magic semen and then the world will become less totalitarian from the conservative values that are passed along genetically! |

Not having kids turned out to not be a choice for us.
The choice we made was not having children by artificial means or scientific intervention. We signed up for adoption roles for about 10 years but at the time we were somehow overlooked over and over again. Closest I get to Marxism is reading a newspaper. |
