Because you need proportional generations being born to support older generations

Going up to 9B or 10B is not going to starve the world of energy, resources, food, or space.

We have plenty of room to grow a bit more, and technology is beating our rate of growth ATM

And no expert says we're going to grow indefinitely if you do research on the matter.

What if we just did something useful with the land of third world countries

Largescale and intentional reduction may be bad yes, but just me and one other woman deciding not to have children isn't going to hurt the population much and instead will allow us to help already-made children to have a better life than they otherwise would have

But Wendy our birth rates are far below what they should be

We’re heading towards catastrophe and our race is dying

We’re becoming a minority in our own countries

so?

Most of the people I've been attracted to are people of color so

awww poor you

But since you have major genetic disorders, I support you not reproducing

I don’t think it’s that bad of a genetic disorder

I understand if you're gay @shlendie - that's not an easy life. But be careful deciding that having children is a bad idea - in fact, it's one of the most rewarding things you could ever do. And if adopting is your best choice as a gay couple, then you're doing some good there. Better than foster homes.

Exactly

If you’re worried about reproducing then anything that causes cancer isn’t much of a worry

I dont think having children is a bad idea, I personally don't want to but yeah

Having almost everyone in your family die of cancer is kinda serious

@Logicpoints Im supprised you havent tried that spiel on me?

@Josh42A it's never come up?

ive talked about it before

I have no plans to ever have children

why?

because its a waste of money

That is the most selfish bullshit reason I’ve ever heard

ok, if you could remove the monetary stretching and limitations, why?

because their gross

ok, they're gross for 5-10 years. why?

This is shitty bait

did you just wave away 5-10 years?

like it was nothing

did you just assume the 5-10 years while they grow up are "gone"?

You aren't living your life

You're trapped in a cage

raising kids and miserable

@Doctor Anon what’s up, doc?

you are

Not much

Focusing on a project so not really active on here sorry

You are if you suck at raising kids. Some of the happiest people I know are parents of young children.
