To see what other peoples opinions are, but other than that not much point. I'm far from sterile, I just made a promise to the planet that I wouldn't add any more people to it.

I have a little issue with people who use the excuse of eco friendly-ness to not have children. Imagine if you parents thought the same way, you wouldn't even be blessed with the oppourtunity to type here. If having babies is considered non-eco-friendly; then what about fully grown adults that have no compassion for the same "eco-friendly-ness"? I think an adult has more ability to cause an eco disaster than diapers do; take the exxon valdez oil spill... how many diapers would it take to amount to the devistation to the eco-systems the oil caused? - Thu, 31 Jan 2008 2:20pm

My parents were barely 17 when they had me, with no money. They would have been smart not to have kids. If I wasn't here and wasn't "blessed with the opportunity to type here" it wouldn't really be a big deal, because I wouldn't exist. - Thu, 31 Jan 2008 4:07pm

So it's ok to do something pointless and bad for the earth as long as there are people doing things that are worse, like causing oil spills? Ok, I'm gonna go beat up some babies. I mean, people do worse things like murder people, so it's ok right? Perhaps I should have specified this post was for rational thinking people. - Thu, 31 Jan 2008 4:11pm

Why do you care about the earth if you don't want anyone to enjoy it... Humans have to be here. Or else there is no point to anything. We're the only species with the capacity to search for meaning. Without us there is no quest for meaning, and everything becomes meaningless. Then it wouldn't matter one way or the other whether there was any Earth at all, or even any Universe or any kind of existence ever.



If you don't value human life why are you still alive? Do your part, save the planet from stupid people... - Thu, 31 Jan 2008 8:14pm

Darn it Greenlee... I was really hoping for your approval but I didn't adopt the darling baby I wanted to have. I had her the new fashioned way (planned C-section, like a movie star!)

My hubby was adopted so don't get me wrong...I'm all for it, but I love that we have created something greater than ourselves.

You're just jealous. - Thu, 31 Jan 2008 11:05pm

Greenlee, speaking for the young parents crowd (I started at 18) FUCK YOU! Don't go bringing your whining, bleeding heart, tree-hugging hippy crap around here just because you're bitter that your young, inexperienced parents provided you with a childhood that you find unsatisfying. If I hadn't had kids when I did, I would probably be dead now, if not then fairly close to. So take your "I was unhappy with my childhood" psyco-babble to a therapist where it belongs, and stop besmirching a valid world concern such as the environment with your crap.

~Smile for the little birdie! Jackass.

"Perhaps I should have specified this post was for rational thinking people. - Thu, 31 Jan 4:11pm "

rational? pfft. Just because I want to have kids doesn't make and shouldn't make anyone "irrational". I think YOUR insecurities about not having kids or using excuses is pretty irrational. Just fucking say you dont want kids and leave it at that. Nobody's ever been lambasted for not wanting to have kids; but you sure get my nerves in an uproar when you start using excuses(ie, the environment)
to hide behind.

"If I wasn't here and wasn't "blessed with the opportunity to type here" it wouldn't really be a big deal, because I wouldn't exist."

then do us justice and jump off a bridge if it really doesn't matter. Or go cut yourself you lame-o-emo.

"So it's ok to do something pointless and bad for the earth as long as there are people doing things that are worse, like causing oil spills? Ok, I'm gonna go beat up some babies"

at least a baby cant decimate a whole fucking ecosystem. And saying your gunna go beat up some babies just illustrates my point of grown adults(LIKE YOU) trying to find a way around having kids or using lame excuses.

Find something else to discuss; this issue is closed. - Fri, 1 Feb 2008 2:26pm

Doc, I have to agree, in fact the more I read your comments in discussions, the more I agree with you. It's great to beat your chest and bray about how we'd save the planet if there were no more kids.

However...

There are people like myself who have kids, work bloody hard at raising them, loving them and hope that maybe my kids might somehow make the place a little bit better after I leave. I personally am not the answer to world peace, but someone, somewhere is. The last thing we need is more useless people, I agree. The last thing our government infrastructure needs is for me to have 10 or 12 kids, I agree.

Telling everyone you're going to hide under a rock and do nothing is not contributing to a solution of any kind, in my opinion.

I try not to stray into the big discussions on message boards but wanted to put in my two cents as a dad.

All it takes for evil to rule the world is for enough good people to do nothing. - Tue, 5 Feb 2008 2:56pm

Greenlee is just projecting his issues onto the rest of society, which a lot of people do. Due to his horrid upbringing, he's afraid to bring children into the world for fear of doing the same thing to his kids, thinly veiled under an uneducated hippy mentality. I say more power to him for not wanting to have kids, that's less people that the psych system end up caring for later on in life. - Tue, 5 Feb 2008 3:25pm
