More than anything in this world, I want to have a family someday with at least one or two kids.

Children are quite possibly my favorite type of person. Such imagination, such innocence, and so much possibility lies within their little hearts and minds. Nothing is more beautiful in humanity. I suppose I romanticize childhood, and nothing would give me more pleasure than to fill in the type of motherly love and other wonderful, fun stuffs that my own childhood sometimes lacked.

Hmm, it's strange in a wondeful sort of way that I already feel such overwhelming love for my children yet they're years from being born.

And their young unconditional faith and love in their parents. Nothing is more beautiful in humanity than our children (and nothing is more ugly and horrible than when parents abuse their children).

Not only do I not want kids, I'm becoming a Catholic priest. Children are irritating, annoying creatures that make me ashamed to belong to the species of talking apes ruling this rock.

Mmmhmmm. You don't always say intelligent things, do you?

Anyways, I've already had them so I guess my opinion doesn't matter, but it has made my life a great dal more meaningfull. I guess some people just don't really understand who they are until they are responsible for something so beautifull and fragile as a child. And I guess I'm one of those people.

Hmm... I would like a family of my own yes. Kids are so much fun to have around, and they can be so cute. I have siblings and growing up with them makes me want to have some of my own.

I find that most people's opinions of children usually reflects how they were as children. And sometimes, just sometimes, how they are when they're older as well.

Definitely. A family of my own is one of my most cherished dreams. I want at least 2 children, if my health allows it.

If children being annoying every once and a while is enough for you to think the entire concept is stupid, then please, don't have children. Ever. You're unworthy as a person with that kind of small minded attitude.

Every once in a while? Gee, I guess those babies and children screaming the everloving hell out of themselves in restaurants are all a mass illusion. Gee, I guess those kids vomiting, vandalising, and throwing dinner plates while their idiot parents go "oh, so kyooot" are also an illusion. And I guess this (http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...52098207965240) was a hoax as well. I don't hate all children, in fact, the ones I hate are the parents, who only have children because they think they MUST. It's not really the kids fault.

Those who have kids because they genuinely want to love and care for them are fine with me. Those who keep their kids under control, and don't let them become ritalin addled demons, are absolutely fine. Just as long as they don't rub their children in my face, or go all psycho against childfree people.

Incorrect assessment.

I love children, and would like to raise a famly, But this ISN'T a world to bring children into. Its overpopulated, crowded, messy, and corrupt. I would rather not have kids and wait until the population levels out, or never have kids at all.

I'm not stupid or small-minded, but I'd rather NOT and some more weight to the back of the economy.

I was actually going to say that your problem is probably more with the parents than the kids. Children are maleable. If the parents are shitty people then the kids probably will be too. But if you have a parent who understand that loving your child does not mean giving in to their every whim and fancy but is also able to recognize that explanations are needed for denying things then you might actually grow a decent human being.

Edit in response to Ghost: Actualy the world has never been better. And anyone who says different has a real short memory. It used to be fashionable for men to have sex with young boys in Roman Times. The vast majority of slavery has been abolished. Anyone who goes around doomsaying and talking about how the world has gone to shit has merely bought into the conservative lie that everything was peachy back in the fifties before the start of women's lib and affirmitive action and should be forced to wear a sign stating "I is stupid". Just my opinion but it has that extra weight becuase it's right.

My genes will not die with me!

I will have two, which (if everyone also did) would lead to a stable population. As long as they all did so as well. I might get another if one fails a task of some sort (such as bomb diffusal).

If I do not succeed, then they will carry on my life's work: total world domination! And a breed of fly with the strength of mind to determine the open half of a half open window.

Would you rather have never existed than gone through what you did? If not then please shut up. Oh, and if you reply and say that you WOULD rather not have been born then I will consider you to be a liar and disregard everything you ever say from here on out.

It is one of my dreams to become a father. Yes, devoting maybe 27 years to raise children is probably on someone's to do list, but its about the love that counts. Having a family is something you could look back on and think about the days you were a kid, and think of all of the non-ecomony related things you did back in the day, and be proud that you let one or people do the same thing. And maybe having a child that grows into a decent human being is probably we could say that we actually accomplished in life.

Now if only I could be able to feel true love, that plan would succeed.

Well, you're technically still decreasing the population even if you have one child. It only replaces you and your spouse goes unreplaced. And thus, having two children neither decreases or increases the population (at least not immediately; the little buggers that you make may go off and have dozens of kids but that wouldn't be your direct fault), and of course, if you have more than 2, you can feel bad for increasing the population. Or something.

Yes. I'd love to have a little girl someday.

You know, so that when she's a teen I can check out all of her potential boyfriends and then make them sweat for my acceptance. The man-whores.

That assumes all parents die the instant their last child is born.

I don’t want to have children for three reasons:
  1. I can’t stand children.
  2. I don’t want to raise a child in this society.
  3. The human population needs to be cut down in size.
If I ever changed my mind, it would be adoption. Reduce existing unhappiness instead of create more of it.

I'd not like to have kids right now(), but when I'm older, I'd like just the one son to carry on the generation.
