That is a load off MY mind.

You know, the ordinary pronunciation of that name means "queen" in latin.

I said "decided to get," not "got."

Though one thing that's seemed very strange to me is that I've been called irresponsible for my decision. So deciding never to have children makes me irresponsible... hm.

If it's any consolation, I, at least, think it's a very responsible move to decide never to have kids.

---

That has been my take on it. The people who think it out and have the will to fight instincts are the ones that SHOULD have kids. We've limited it to 2, at least.

Yes, I like to think I have a brain. And no, it's not that I think that another one of me running around will save the globe.

If we stupid people weren't having kids, who would work under your children? If they want to be future CEOs, they have to have someone to boss around. And secondly, who would they pick on in grade school?

Mediocrity at its most average.

The other side of the coin is that I think that intelligent, insightful people are almost duty-bound to create enlightened offspring to balance out the 5 or 6 rugrats a piece that so many STUPID people have. Those same zero population growth people I mentioned before are typically intelligent, educated people who would produce intelligent offspring. The only real result I can see of those people not having children is that we are culling intelligence out of humanity.

Personally, I think that's the world's loss. I like puns.

My own take on the issue is thusly: I don't like kids (in general). There are particular kids I adore the heck out of (my niece beasts being four of them), but on the whole, it's a big no thanks. They say that when they're your OWN kids, it makes all the difference in the world, and to an extent I see how that can be true. However, I've come to a few conclusions:

I'm not a patient person, so I'd get frustrated with "my children" easily.

I'm not an attractive person, so my kids would probably be butt ugly, unless I married a supermodel -- in which case there's still a chance they'd be butt ugly.

I'm not a particularly intelligent person, though according to a few people I know, I fake it relatively well.

I'm just not looking for an 18+ year commitment. (Which probably explains why I'll also never be married.)

I don't feel anyone has a "responsibility" to produce or not produce progeny. I also don't like that it's beaten into us from a young age that we do have that responsibility.

Watch it, you're creeping into ~Alcyonae~ territory with that attitude.

Do you think if I cut my finger off it'd mean that I couldn't get married? Cos that's all I want, a single life!

Are they beating your door down to the extent that such a drastic step is required?

I like kids just fine, but what a world to bring them into, plus I'm doing remedial maturity work at age 36.
