Probably the most disturbing fact is the high correlation of lower IQ people generating more offspring on average. Smarter people have less kids....or no kids. Thus, the population as a whole is getting dumber.
That doesn't seem very smart to me. I will say one thing tho. That high correlation you speak of, research that with family income, neighborhood, elementary/high schools and their funding, and get back to me lol.
Um. If you want kids, have kids. If you want to be a dad, be a dad. However, It does not make you more important globally It does not make you a hero It does not mean you are special It does not mean you are good All it means is you chose to contribute to the process of procreation Those who don't are no less Those who don't are free to choose. And, as a final comment, technically you are not the one who has the kid anyway. Capisce??? Live and let live and leave well enough alone

So you want to bring up the whole real man thing again?
Definition of a Real Man
When does one become a man? At age 18? 21? When they support themselves?
NO! A REAL MAN must do the following (but there are exceptions, look later for them):
1) Be married.
2) Have 2-4 kids that you support finaicially and emotionally. Less than 2 kids is not enough, and more than 4 means that your time is spread out too much.
3) Must be a GOOD father.
4) Must respect the children's mother, and in most cases, all children must come from the same woman - the woman you are married to.
Exceptions:
1) Anyone who has served in the military is a real man, no matter what.
2) Anyone who has had to overcome a physical disability is a real man.
3) Anyone who cares for another human being who is physically or emotionally disabled is a real man.
Who can't be a REAL MAN:
1) Single men who work only to support themselves.
2) Women. Sorry, but women can't be men - even with surgery.
Okay, you post this in every thread. Tell you what, dude. A real man is one who does not come up with qualifications. You use far too many words to qualify. I am not claiming I am any more man than anyone else, but as far as a beacon of excellence for manhood...you aint t dude. Back to our regularly scheduled thread.

150 years from now, nobody will remember you or your kids.
the earth is overcrowded and we human beings are destroying it. want to make the problem worse? procreate. even worse, have more than 2 (adding more than just replacements for you and your partner).
ugh.
Do not question the wisdom of FLAGPOLE WILLY!

You think so, you must have no kids.
not having kids is a smart move imo. life is to suffer every single thing on this rock suffers why would i bring a kid here especially in 2017. if i had a big red button to end all life on this planet i'd press it.

Yeah no. Your true gift to this overpopulated world is not passing on your genetic material. Having kids is so basic and ego driven. If you want to do something meaningful and a "true gift to this world" adopt. Otherwise, get involved in your community to make the world a better place.
... just look at Trump:
Wears a diaper, resembles a swine,
Truly retarded by design!
The question remains, it needs to be asked:
Can he wipe, alas, his own tailpipe?

Good words. I hope it's not sour grapes. I don't have kids, and I'm almost 60. I wanted kids, but my wife didn't. You can not judge others to live their life the way they choose. These could be your children you are scolding. If nothing else, be kind.

I realize you're a troll, but since some people actually think this, I wanted to point out that your reason for having kids ("Your kids, are your true gift, to the world. It's like you keep living, after you pass on." ) is the epitome of egocentricity and is nothing more than grasping for "glory" from someone who is biologically programmed to give a crap about you.
To the OP, I would agree with everything you said but do you really want these losers raising kids. My Facebook reads like a who's who of loser 50 year olds who hate Trump and all I can think is I am so glad this loser didn't have children. ( okay, you're not a Trump supporter. I wasn't an Obama supporter but I didn't go on my Facebook everyday to complain about some useless crap. He was still my president regardless how much I would have railed against it.)
There are a couple a huge losers, one is a coach of some sort and the other is an old has been marathoner who daily rants about Trump, providing false information and lies and just filled with hate. There is no way I would ever want to see these and others like them bare children. I say let them live in their fantasy world because someday it will be gone and thankfully there will be nothing to remind us that they ever existed.
I'm amazed at how effective these types of threads are. Maybe a new era in trolling.

Thanks for coming to a running forum to project your deep insecurity about your decision to have children.
Yes, having kids is the most common thing in the world.
So in contrast, not having kids in decidedly uncommon .
If you actually decide to NOT have kids, I believe it usually means you are a self-centered individual.
The next thing is to decide whether that's a bad thing or not.
What about the insane apostrophe use in his handle?
Maybe he's trying to write like Shatner spoke as Captain Kirk.
Maybe that apostrophe was really a comma that got away from him.

Well I am sick of people who have kids then realize they are a failure at being a parent and have a snot nosed brat on their hands and take out their failure in life on people enjoying life and all it has to offer. I bet you are also the twat who starts posts every few days bashing teachers too. Seems like someone has made a few poor life choices and wishes he could start all over again but sees his life is the same one boring life sucking day after another
Hard not to see this as an element of affluenza in which human civilization ultimately loses the will even to perpetuate itself--seeing this as pointless and standing in the way of their stupid enjoyment and self-actualization--and the world becomes post-human. Whether we survive in other forms via technological transformation is still open, but the result surely is not.
