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.

Seems like, as a mammal - your compass is broken - is you don’t want to reproduce.

Their favorite term is crotchfruit, when I hear that I know I'm dealing with an imbecile.

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. |

It's more or less all white people not having kids. Everyone else is breeding like cockroaches.

View Quote 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. |

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

View Quote 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 want a kid...I just can't find anyone that will let me stick my dick in them

There are many reasons for not having children. Passing a negative judgment on all people who choose not to reproduce is very small-minded.
|

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.
But hey, it's just not in the hand your dealt for some. You don't want kids, no sweat off my back. I got no ill will towards you. Carry on! |

Some people can't have kids and it's none of your business and easier to say "don't want them" then telling some dude who thinks like you do their shit doesn't work.

Some people never grow up-those people decide not to have kids.

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. |

View Quote 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. |

I love these threads.
"If you don't give into a biological imperative to procreate you're broken" Start a thread about monogomy being unnatural and you'll be told that humans should be above the base instincts of lessser animals. Pick one. |

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. |

Not all people are healthy, even people who appear outwardly to be so. Some people decide not to have children because of their own medical reasons, including genetics.

there is no "moral imperative" to have children
I personally think it's odd to not want to have children, but at the same time I think there are plenty of people that shouldn't have children |
