Cop out for self centerness. There is no joy on earth even close to children. I just spent 3 days putting up lights for my kids, grand kids, neice all her children. I thought the same when i was early 20s but i was way wrong. My son is 33 and says no kids. Thats your phone speaking to you. Turn your chinese overlords off and use your brain.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I hear this line of nonsense from like half of the younger women I try to date lately. They’re dead set that they’re never having kids because climate change/economy/problems with public schools/UFO’s/whatever… There’s always an excuse. “This world is so bad now that I couldn’t possibly bring a child into it..” is a pretty common one. Life has always been hard, it’s not a new thing that just happened 10 years ago and it’s certainly not a reason to choose not to have children. It's not an excuse, it's self centered selfishness. |

The minute someone says climate change i know their phone has replaced their brain. If we all just drove electric cars the world would be saved. I hate to be savage but dont let people scare you off of the greatest pleasures of life. My daughter cries every day because she only could have one. She has almost died twice she wants another child so bad.

What they are really saying is this: "I thought I'd be married and have kids by now. I now feel it's too late so I'm coming up with some lame ass excuse as to why it hasn't happened" They think the world is hard now in a time when it's as easy as it ever has been to keep your kids safe, warm, and fed. This sentiment didn't even exist in times when life was much more difficult. Pathetic. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The Soros/Obama/Xi commies want the US destroyed from within. They are already succeeding with open borders, not prosecuting crime, and dropping the fertility rate to below the replacement rate of 2.0 to now 1.8. (The fertility rate is based on ALL women, but 20% of women either can't have kids or choose not to, so women who choose to have kids need to have 2.3 just to make up the difference). The MSM is fully behind every commie idea, even the ones that will destroy the MSM in the long run (see China and Russia). This BI article is NOT a news report. It is piece of commie propaganda to further the commie narrative, nothing more. From 500M years since the evolution of sex to 2M years ago since H. Erectus (or 200K since H. Sapiens if you prefer), your ONLY reason to be on this earth is to reproduce. Forget all of the religion, climate change, wars, etc, reproduction is it. No one knows if your kids will be in a war, rich or poor, or cure cancer. They will most probably lead average lives that are better than 90% of the people in the world since they will be born in the US. But one thing is for sure, if they never exist, the US will be doomed long term. The illegal aliens that the commies are letting in are not rocket scientists, their abilities are far lower than the average American, they will ONLY bring the US down.  |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Older generations have seen and done more…yet these kids think they know it all. Fine don’t have a family, just know when you’re older and realize how wrong you were that we tried to tell you. The only trouble with this approach is that all those people who never create a family to depend on later will just vote to have the government be their "family to depend on" instead. Millennials are starting to get out of their family-making years and I for one am not looking forward to how many bitter cat ladies and used-to-be-the-parents' basement dwelling men we'll have to deal with... |

This meme is going around Twitter and is, I think, appropriate.
 Attached FileThe bar is so fucking low to succeed and conquer right now that if you can just do what you can to ensure your offspring never consider that their gender and genitals might be at odds they can’t help but succeed. When was a better time to have kids? The black plague? WW1-era? 70’s drugs and serial killers? Not having kids because you don’t like kids I can understand, but the “this world nowadays” mindset I don’t get at all. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Good. Not everyone can or should be a parent. while true, this is a cynical and self destructive take, IMO. I'm not religious AT ALL, but I will say the bible has a lot of wisdom in it. It promotes a strong work ethic, strong families, human decency, respect for others. As the bible and Christianity have been removed from American culture, our society has experienced an attendant decline. If you want to oppose that decline, embrace a biblical ethos. |

When they say “fewer jobs than applicants” they mean fewer jobs they are willing to do. And since the government and their enabling parents won’t allow them to starve if they choose not to work the market won’t correct.

If they think these soft times are bad imagine if they lived in rough times 100,000, 1000, 100 years ago. They would not exist if their ancestors thought the same way.
Fact is times have been so good the last few decades it's has made them soft spoiled and self entitled. They are like a rich girl crying because she got a new Cadillac for her birthday instead of the Mercedes Benz she had hoped for and now has given up hope on any future happiness. Oh poor me. |

The #1 goal of Globo-Communists is replacing Free White People. One of the most important components is discouraging Whites from reproducing and also to hate themselves so that the #1 Nation on the face of the Earth crumbles without real resistance. After that, the war for control of the world is over. And if they can convince everyone there is no point in reproducing, then they'll be on track to reach their goal of 500 million sooner than many believe possible. |

It is frightening-I look at my community: a small rural town. The high school graduates about 300 students annually. I would say about a 1/3 of the female students are pregnant with 1-3 children by at least two baby daddies within their first 5 years of graduation. Maybe a quarter of the girls will be traditional, college, jobs, marriage, kids etc and the rest have no interest in marriage or children.
of the first 1/3 the majority of these kids lack basic skills, such as how to discern political candidates, how to research legislation that they will vote on. And they lack basic living skills, such as having an emergency fund, living within their means, saving towards a goal. Overall I have yet to talk to a gen z who is interested in politics-including my own son (who incidentally isn't interested in marriage or children-though he's young-I doubt he will change.) I did teach my son conservative ideals but he is ridiculous about voting. He does sort of vote. He brings me his ballot and I technically have two votes. I do go through it with him and explain each measure and give arguments for both sides so he can decide. I am biased af so he votes as I would vote. He doesn't care and I can't make him care. He's a 4pt student in Areospace engineering program. He is capable but he doesn't care. |
