 erithbabalon rated 15 months ago - "Be that as it may, the decision not to parent creates its own set of problems -- especially for single people looking to date other like-minded folks and create a DINK (dual-income-no-kids) family. Anyone can tell you that the parenting question is one of the deciding factors of any relationsh...

- I don't want kids(as the rest of the planet sighs with fucking relief), generally can't stand kids, and would rather they go away unless they're cute/precocious/dumb enough to 'lend' me a few dollars, but some of the behavior within the childfree movement is a few steps away from full-blown infanticidal psychosis. While some kids might suck, while I'm totally pro-choice and pro-abortion, and while there is definitely no shortage of boneheads who need vasectomies(not circumcisions, as I originally wrote. I'm retarded.)/hysterectomies: those who love to make with the unhinged howling about how all kids are scum and need to die only end up looking like complete morons on the verge of a total mental breakdown.We're not going to be able to stop people from fucking, we've all learned that it doesn't take a genius to get someone pregnant/get pregnant, and as long as American leadership continues making such astonishingly retarded decisions like pushing motherfucking abstinence as a viable method of birth control, we're going to have this problem.The United States needs to cry itself a river, build a bridge, and get the fuck over our seemingly Puritanical fear of addressing sexuality and start being a bit more realistic. Our beloved corporate advertising moguls have no scruples about plastering sexually-charged shit all over every possible surface in existence to shill shitty brown sugar water and fat-laden quadruple cheeseburgers, so why should we get so worked up over a titty? That sort of unnecessary prudishness is but a small facet of the mentality that contributes to the continuous rutting and subsequent breeding of complete morons, and we're to blame. I submit that all sides of the equation need to get a friggin' grip and realize that we're gradually fucking ourselves into extinction. You never know, maybe we'll get a few morons to convert to this movement. I'm already there. :PAlso, Travis has an excellent point in regards to using babies as fuel, and we should probably form a public interest group and petition to talk with Al Gore about the effects of baby-fuel on the environment. We've got to be pragmatic with these things if we're going to make it work, people!

No children, no apologies"
Yes!! Funny though, how as a child and teen I loved babysitting, was the most "in demand" babysitter in the neighborhood for a while. Children like me. So do animals. People, strangers even, often say I "...must be a wonderful mother, or are you a teacher? Oh you should be... " Those are fun, in the fun as in challenging kind of 'fun' conversations. They have been enlightening for me each time I as I explore how I handle it over the years. I'm glad I followed my gut, despite not understanding it over the 25 or so years.
thanks digits

- Wow, a parent writes an article about CF folks with a positive spin? Has hell frozen over? My only beef is the breeder bingo she spouts about how anyone under 25 can know they don't want kids. I've known since I was 8 years old I didn't want them and a goodish portion of CF people I've spoken with have said the same. It's entirely possible to know your own mind at a young age.

 gnarltron rated 15 months ago- From the page: "But we need to get over it; the numbers of non-breeders are rising. According to the U.S. Census, approximately 77 percent of unmarried women between 18 and 44 were child-free in 2002."
This is an interesting article but this blatantly misleading statistic makes me angry. Ok, sure, 77% of unmarried women between the ages of 18 and 44 were childless in 2002. This tells me nothing. What about married women? What about 1972? One would think married women were more likely to have children. And we can't say anything is rising with a single number. It tells us one thing about one point in time about one group of people. If you're going to imply a trend, give us multiple numbers. So angry!

- From the page: "People will likely assume you're selfish, stone-hearted or too dysfunctional to parent."
Guilty on all charges.
