I see myself having a kid of my own one day.

As for the subject in discussion, overpopulation will push us into space and the next age of exploration will begin.

See you in space, cowboy.

There are LOTS of future possibilities. Blathering about overpopulation forcing a particular destiny...well, those who have a passing familiarity with the history of ideas know this hoary cliche has been batted around for a long time. There is no "forced" destiny. We have the ingenuity to create many of them. Just requires a modicum of imagination and perceptiveness to grasp that.blushing

If you think the world is over populated, and *you* think having kids = bad for the earth........good luck thinking that you're "making a difference". How many SERIOUSLY think that way? I have a son, and I'd like at least 1 more kid. And nobody is going to tell me otherwise, or that I shouldn't due to "over population". Am I selfish? Ya maybe I am. But ya know, I don't care.

I have two sons, and never regretted becoming a mom. I love them dearly, and maybe they'll help to make the world a better place. I know that they make my world a better place.

My best friend had no children, and never wanted them. She and her late husband had a music store, though, and had lots of kids that hung out there over the years and were friends of theirs.

For each of us, it was personal choice, and I respect the personal choice of each person regarding this topic. If you don't want to be a parent, and become one, that usually creates an abusive home. I grew up in that environment for that reason. My mother never wanted children, and she never should have had them. But she married a devout Catholic who did want them. dunno If it hadn't happened, then my sons wouldn't be here...and I wouldn't be the person I am today...but I can honestly say if I hadn't wanted them, I wouldn't have had my own children. I know what it's like to grow up with a parent who never wanted you.

I haven't read the whole threas so I'm sorry if this is a repeat.

I believe people should be able to make their own decisions and not worry about approval of others. People may disagree with your reasons for not having children but I believe most would respect your right to choose as the bottom line is that it is your choice. I hope you also respect other's who believe having children is also their right.

Personally, I've got one and he's grown and on is own. I want no more but I do enjoy practicing the art of childmaiking with the right personlaugh

Moema: Some people ask me why I won´t have kids. When I want to to give them a serious answer, I say it´s because it´s unsustainable, ecologically incorrect and inviable, selfish and alienated.

They call me radical. However, the reason why we spend so much money on hopeless environment protection measures is that nobody in the decision-making spheres wants to deal with the real problem - too many people wlaking on the planet - and face all those religious voters, of all religions, who think that´s "God´s plan". Well, maybe if God hadn´t been invented, they would certainly have found other reasons. To me, it´s economy: economies need to grow, so more demand is necessary.

I won´t have kids because it´s just not fair with THEM.

Thoughts?


--- choice- have/have not, in the not to distant future I believe will be taken out of our hands.We must remain dilegent that any "selection" process which may sublimely be introduced in various areas do not infringe on our human rights. Fear tactics (Once again) have been used in the not to distant past to erode these. It will be interesting to see what this economic downturn will bring
