We already have the government rewarding women who selfishly choose to have children with men who do not want them. I will not support something that harms children.

You guys need to look at the big picture before making important decisions. Harming one child in order to help many children (and men too) would be the best decision.
This is a false dichotomy. It shouldn't take much effort to figure out why.

I am married for 10 years now. I have 3 kids (12,10,7). My oldest daughter who is 12 is from before my marriage and her mother has always had custody. I love my family and whatever sacrifices I make for them are my choice. I don't appreciate being called stupid for that.

Sure, my lifestyle isn't for everyone. Hell, sometimes it isn't even for me. Anything that is worth something is going to be difficult sometimes. Watching my kids grow up and teaching them how to be good people is more rewarding than I could possibly explain to someone that has never experienced it. Having someone that is willing to give you the devotion of a life together and be open to the world about the fact that you are their choice is something that I can't explain to someone who hasn't lived it. I'm not trying to say that my choices are the right ones...just that they are the right ones for me.

I am constantly being insulted every time a thread like this pops up and Inazuma takes part in it. I'm a big boy and I'll live but it sure as hell gets annoying after a while. This is for you Inazuma and I want you to read it closely.



“We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.”

Paulo Coelho


Look, I don't want to be a coroner. The job has many unappealing qualities for my tastes. However, I don't think that the person who decides to do it is "stupid". In fact I am grateful to the people who do the things and live the lives that I don't want to. Someone has to do it after all.

If everyone wasn't "stupid" by your standards we would go extinct as a species.
If you aren't doing anything wrong, there is no need to get upset by what I'm saying. I am only bashing on things which are harmful to children. If you actually are harming children, then I can understand you being upset when someone confronts you about it.

If everyone was smart and didn't want to have kids, we would go extinct? Wrong. The reason a smart person might decide not to have kids is because he feels it's the best decision based on the current situation. If that situation changed and we were at risk of going extinct, we would decide to have kids because it's the best choice overall. There isn't much point in talking about this anyway, since the poor and dumb have enough kids to pick up our slack.

What is so bad about going extinct?

Dude, you must be unbearable in real life. I get it. It is pointless to disagree with you.

This assumes that you have broadcast to the world that you and whomever you put your baby gravy into, had sex and ended up with a kid you didn't want. Otherwise, no one has any idea.

His approach is not all that unlike the approach Congress takes when they want to pass dumb legislation.

"THINK OF THE CHILDREN!"

It's so pretentious that it's hilarious.
