What's the point of having children these days . . .

. . . if all the world seems to be coming to an end?

There is no point. Don't have children.

One of the biggest reasons the world is coming to an end is because of over-population.

People keep speaking of how the coming generations need to get off the computer and get a life. Wrong. Non-personal social behavior is one of the greatest things to ever happen to this planet.

Hmm. This promotes a vision in my head. Thousands of people swarm to hop onto the space ship out of here, mostly Republicans, Military, and the filthy rich. The common man, you and me, stay behind because we have to, huddling over our computers, visiting KMC Forums. Suddenly, the ship that left crashes into a giant meteor, the meteor predicted to destroy Earth, the meteor that caused the ship to leave in the first place. But the meteor disintegrates when the ship crashes into it, eliminating the threat it posed for Earth. Therefore, the common man, you and me, survive on Earth with our computers on KMC Forums, and we live happily ever after without those others who are now gone!

well.. I would think (if one were to actually have children) that you would have them to teach them to be good people... you give them (or teach them) everything you think is good.. sort of giving back to the world perhaps.. on a moral level... we are only as vile and rude as that which we come from, afterall

children are great they teach you to appreciate how good life was before you had the stress of bringing them up... 😑

Children are a blessing.When we die our children lives as to finish our life for us.I would love to have children one day.JM

"Children are a blessing."

Children are no more a blessing than you eating and a turd coming out of your butt.

They don't FINISH our lives for us, they live their own life. Only humans (or Jackie) could be so naive as to think kids do that, live their lives for us.

Thanks but I Happen to think other wise.How are they not a blessing?Are you so into yourself that you can't think of caring for children other then just caring about yourself?
That sounds pretty selfish to me.JM

Can't believe shellie hasn't commented on this yet.

Any can feel free to comment.

Is my opinion and it's not changing for anything. I'm not a child worshipper nor am I ever going to be. If you have kids and you love them, care for them and nurture them, good for you. You're doing the right thing now that you have them.

As far as the creation of children, a chemical reaction is all it is. There's no blessing involved. One out of two hundred million sperm connecting, is no blessing nor miracle.

If sperm enters into a fertile woman, she will almost definately become pregnant. There is no 50/50 chance about it, you don't have to wait on the edge of your seat as if it's as unlikely as winning the lottery. Sexual intercourse is for the purpose of impregnation, it's not a gamble.

The odds aren't exactly stacked against you.

ac i know what you mean, but there are a lot of couples out there who wish they could have kids... to them it would be a blessing...

imo its a matter of perspective...

Oh of course there are infertile people, I mean NO disrespect to them whatsoever. If you WANT kids and can't have them it must be heartbreaking.

However, that doesn't change that what I'm saying is a fact. The only reason they CAN'T have kids is because of a genetic fault and they are now infertile. If they were fertile, and they tried for a kid or two, they'd almost definately get them.

Someone I know has 4 kids at 30 years old, she said to me "My children were blessings."

........You've got four kids. Everytime you tried, it happened, that's because it's designed to. No blessing, no magic, no stork with a baby wrapped in a blanket, no helping hand from God. It's a chemical reaction.

Someone is changing the subject!lol!jm

The subject was, "What's the point of having children these days?"

I'm on topic. Well within bounds.

i understand what your saying alpha, but what i mean is that to a lot of people its a blessing that they are fertile and can have kids. to create a life, while being easy if your fertile, is a blessing nonetheless in an emotional sense. we all know what happens genetically, but when you hold your own child in your arms and you realise what you've created it becomes special to you the parent...

i know its not always the case, but in a lot of cases it is...

"we all know what happens genetically, but when you hold your own child in your arms and you realise what you've created it becomes special to you the parent..."

Obviously it's a special moment, emotionally. Anyone can see that, I don't actually want kids and I can see that much.

In any other way than that though, it really is ANYTHING but.

i suppose... wait till u have a sprog 😛

I'm not actually having any children.

-AC

i know, you said that...

just be careful, it can happen awfully easily...

((why cant i find that damn simpsons quote where apu asks homer when did he plan to have kids? and then homer broke his shite laughing. dammit))
