Because as the Germans are finding out, when you fail to replicate your culture through reproduction of natives- it has NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES FOR EVERYONE THAT'S A PART OF THAT CULTURE. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
Quoted:
The choices that people make in conducting their private, personal lives are rarely of any concern to me. I'm still not getting why other peoples' childbearing decisions matter to the person who started this thread. I am unswayed by the "moral imperative" and "preserving our precious way of life" arguments because those matters don't require the breeding of every able-bodied couple. The importance of some "native" people breeding to perpetuate the culture does not extend to an obligation for EVERYONE to breed. Some people cannot, some choose not to for reasons that are inherently personal and nobody else's business. |

The couples I know who don't have kids are dog people.
I love my dog, but I don't call myself "doggy-daddy" or my wife "doggy-mommy". |

Bingo, the dumbest theory yet presented. Though more money, for whatever reason, never hurts. I think we can all agree on that. |

You people who have decided to Reproduce, does it bother you that the dink types like me, were able to retire in our early 50s?
I have a neighbor at my florida place who seems pissed when he sees me loading my kayak and he is loading his kids. I’ll tell him the snook are tearing it up and he can use a kayak anytime, I’ll put him right on the fish. He just kind of hangs his head and mumbles something like “I wish”. |

Don’t really care if people have kids or not, not my business.
I find it hilarious when people without kids try to give parenting advice. And no, the chihuahua you let lick peanut butter off of your balls and his ‘brother’, the lab you 69 with, are nowhere close to being comparable to children. |

I think there’s a very small portion of society who don’t like/want kids. I think there’s a much larger portion of society who “think” they don’t want kids only because they have no concept of how wonderfully life-changing the experience can be. I thought I knew what love meant before my boys came along....I had no clue.

“No kids” people? You mean every single person that is, has been, or ever will be for some period of their life?

Fucking boats are more of a pain in the ass than kids. I would rather have 10 kids than one boat. View Quote People treat kids like a weird burden or something, kids are fucking awesome. "Bring me that" "Clean that" "Attack that person" Boat aint doing any of those. |

Quoted: So, why does Germany need to import large numbers of immigrants? Could it be the fact that their birth levels are below replacement rates, creating a vacuum in service and industrial jobs (normally taken by young people)? View Quote |

Quoted:
who said they needed them......they took them because of bleeding heart syndrome View Quote Migration always boils down to economics. Germany has a high demand for low wage service jobs, yet there isn’t enough young Germans to fill all jobs. Immigration fills that vacuum. The owners of those businesses also encourage this to have a continuous supply of uneducated, low wage workers (much like how the local Chamber of Commerce in many places in the US quietly support illegal immigration here). Now, there is some unique guilt complex working in the German psyche, but it falls in a distant second to economic reasons. This is basic stuff. Read and learn |

I don't have any kids for the simple fact that I don't like children. It has nothing to do with anything other than that. I've made peace with that many years ago. In fact I knew I would never have any back when I was in high school.
I had a two hour period everyday where I had no classes. So I worked in the adult ed office those hours for credit. I was supposed to be one day in, and the other day in the school's day care center. That's what they called it, but it was really a program for the school's promiscuous tarts to drop their crotch fruit. I spent a half hour or so listening to brats scream, and breathing the feted oder of shit. I bailed and refused to go back. I have a Brother to carry on the family name, as well as a Sister make grandchildren for my parents. I'm nearly 40 and am fine with it. |

Quoted: Your theory is sad. Some fathers actually go Kayaking With their children! . This is pitiful on several levels: 1. Fatherhood doesn't mean a guy has no time to go fishing. 2. He is missing the real reason the guy dislikes him. 3. Raising kids isn't just isn't that expensive. 4. He is making all these assumptions, because he's desperate to "believe" in something. I could retire at 55, if I had 2 children, or 4, or none.

The only people I know that had kids that weren't an oops are the handful of bible nuts I grew up with.
Literally every last one of the others was a mistake. One I'd prefer not to make anytime soon, if at all. |
