I never knew Spiderman-2 could make people feel romantic... heh.

I'm really just repeating what others have said, but I could easily marry a woman that couldn't have kids. Here's a different, but more controversal kids. Would you have a kid if the odds were it would have a physical disability? I mean.. 90% or more.

I don't think I would have a kid if I knew he/she were going to have a physical disability, because I wouldn't want him/her to have to live like that.

But about the phase i could understand that, because right now I would never want to raise a child, but I know that I will in the future.

I hate little kids.

Which is kind of ironic, because I work at a toy store.

I'm nineteen now, and throughout my life I have never really felt those close family ties or values that others seem to have. And its not from a lack of love or anything - my parents love me to death, and I get along well with the rest of my family. I realize the importance of my family in my life, but I just don't fell all that closely bonded to them.

This lack of family values extends to me feeling that there is no reason whatsoever for me to start a family of my own. All I see it doing would be drastically cutting back my freedom to live my life how I choose.

I guess what it comes down to is that I don't want to waste time on kids that I could be using to enjoy my on time in this world. Maybe this is only a phase I am going through though. I still have a lot of life left ahead of me, so I guess I'll see what happens.

No kids? Sure...i would. There's no reason not to. Some ppl have some issues with adopting, but i wouldn't care. If we're really meant to have a family, then everything will work out great!

I have no problem with adoption. I think it is a wonderful thing.

Hell, I'd rather adopt and skip the whole helpless infant phase. Less work.

I'm so heartless sometimes....oh well

But do you know why the immune system and a few other things start to slow down once you approach your 30s? Two words: child birth. Your body is designed to try and keep you alive and in top condition for the prime age of child birth.

Now, what should usually happen is that once you're old enough, you realize that you do want to carry on your legacy and your family name, and that once that little kid is your own (assuming it's conceived under the right circumstances) you will love it as your parents love you.

Now I don't think there's anything wrong with living childless, but this whole bloody selfish American attitude of "I want to live my life my way" is going to be the downfall of our civilization! The only reason our population is still growing is because of our immigrants, who as you very well know will outnumber everyone else is a couple of decades. But do we care?

If you want to make an impact, or influence someone you love in a different way, fine. But don't be a hypocrite by dismissing having kids as not being an influence in their lives.

If you're not even thinking of positively influencing the world as we know it, well...



Forums are a great way to indirectly vent your rage. I feel so much better now.

What the hell?

When did I dismiss kids as being an influence in the lives of others?

You will notice in my post that I use the word 'I' a lot. This is because I am refering to myself, and my own feelings towards the matter. I do not feel my life would be positively influenced by children. As such, it would be irresponsible to myself if I were to have one. I realize that this is not true for everyone, but the idea of others never even came into my post.

I live for myself. I know that this makes me selfish in the eyes of many. But I really don't give a damn. My life is mine to live in whatever way I choose.

I wish I had something better to say, but I'm tired, I just woke up, and I agree with Kefit 100%.

I never want to have kids. I'm not going to change that decision. Ever.

I would seriously not marry a woman who couldn't live with not having kids. If she wanted to have kids eventually or something, I wouldn't marry her.

Mark my words--I will be fatherless forever. There is no doubt in my mind that I will never have any younger responsibility of mine living in my household. Call me cold, but that's just what I think.

Whoever the hell said the preference to not have kids is going to lead to the downfall of a country should just die.

Now if everyone said that when the country was young, (younger than it still is,) do you think we'd be what we are now? No. But do you care? No!

This attitude will be the downfall of our civilization as we know it. (I never get tired of saying that )

How will the truly great leaders rise if they are surrounded by those who only wish to satisfy themselves, with no interest in the greater good? How can this great nation go on when the people running it are people who will use their power just to further themselves for their own pathetically short lifetime??

Oh, gloom and doom! There are thousands upon thousands of Americans with the exact same attitude as Kefit! All those with an ounce of vision will be forever diluted in the poisonous stew that was once the American melting pot!

The generations are recklessly bathing in the freedom that countless people died for, the freedom slowly being abused and tainted.

Oh the humanity!!! Our posts will somehow be reloaded thousands of years from now, and the people looking at it will be like, "Oh, look at the poor mindless fools living on that continent in the 21st century. How they lived for themselves like mere animals. How they couldn't grasp the sense of purpose for a common cause. How they spent their lives in pointless folly. We are all lucky we're not living then."



Ahhhh, that's enough.

As long as the chick was honest with me about it, and we were in love, it wouldn't be an issue.

i wouldn't care...and whoever said that they don't want children because of overpopulation is silly...especially when they also didn't want to adopt...how does that work? overpopulation isn't really a problem in america, so assuming you aren't accessing this sight from a 3rd world country, you have nothing to worry about...and YOU personally having children will have no effect on world overpopulation...so if you can really live with yourself knowing that you're not fulfilling a fundamental obligation of human existence, have fun.......But yes, i would still marry, and would adopt.

You see What I would do is first I would get to know her then I'd be giving her a chance to decide what we want to do if we were together and were married. Of course it could have a nice spin with the no pregnacy but it wouldn't be nice because you wouldn't have an offspring of your own.

The body(female) is designed(by whom) to have children at about 14, and then to never not be pregnant. They are learning now that having so many periods is terrible for women. Being pregnant all the time also pushes back menopause, which is about when men die(of a heart attack, or something, maybe cholesterol), because they have served their purpose.

These aren't my beliefs. I do not intend on maliciously impregnating my spouse. haha.

Just as an interesting side note. All humans start out as female, then the y chromosome kicks in and tells the body to make lots of testosterone. bing bang boom, genital resituation, and you have a boy. Side effects though, if a man stopped making testosterone, he would die, but it is the subtle damage of it that causes men to die 5-7 years earlier than women.

Also, It has been my experience, that later in life, women emotionaly dissolve without children. There is no doubt that it sucks for men, but there is hormonal and genetic needs for motherhood in women.

It has also been my experience that after having children, a couple's love is shifted to the children. Like If a couple never had kids, they would have been married happily for life, but when they do have kids, as long as they are still shildren, there is nothing more important than the children. Probably alot of divorces from love-shift.

In conclusion, I am tired, I made some stuff up, and please remember that nothing is ever always true!
