Yep. I'm never having kids. They might be cute but they just sap all the energy out of you.

I don't even think they're that cute...

I'm sensing a story that goes with this...

Kids are cute even if they get annoying a bit. I still don't any reason not to have one. Oh well, in time you will come to like them.

kurandoinu · « **Reply #4423 on:** July 23, 2013, 12:57:08 PM »

Not necessarily. And there are PLENTY of reasons not to have children.

Plenty of reasons to have them too.

Don't act like an old man, Burk and kuran are older than you

There are plenty of children being made as it is. If someone wants to make it her/his vocation to raise a family, I'm not gonna stop them if that's what makes them happy, but I don't see any need to have any of them myself.

Beside, I don't hate children. I have good moments with my nephews too. But this! Everyday! All they long! For years! Now that's just waaaay too much for me.

Agreed.

Think of how many problems due to overpopulation would be solved if half of the people in the world had that view.
...and how many problems would be introduced, but they can't surely be more severe...?

Cultures were women are educated and empowered and have access to contraception generally have a relatively low fertility rate. I think that's the ideal solution to the problem of overpopulation for the moment.

I don't think having a children is an issue where you ought to try to force your opinion on others. Lack of contraception, sex education and family planning in impoverished regions is more responsible for overpopulation than people that actively try to have a child.

I have a couple different jobs. Todays one that was effected by the weather is I fix cracked windshields at car dealerships and rental car lots. So if it's raining, not only can I not see the windshield clearly but it really sucks to work in the rain for cheap lol

It took till senior year of high school, but I've finally decided what I'll aim for after high school. And now I'm hating myself for not being more proactive. Getting into college is a pain, it seems...

Mistgun_Zero · « **Reply #4438 on:** July 23, 2013, 09:42:29 PM »

So, what exactly are you planning then, TiYlER?
