It's almost too depressing to watch. So many people with so many mental illnesses...

Really is a goldmine. Here's my favorite from /r/politics:

"Currently in Texas having a panic attack. It's not like I didn't see this coming, but it certainly feels different now that it's here.

Super stressed about having to move. Been squirreling away money like a motherfucker since the bounty hunter bill passed. Luckily my boyfriend isn't a total asshole, so we haven't been having that kind of sex, even though we're definitely very safe normally. Absolutely not worth a fuck up right now.

Fuck everything. I can't wait to get the hell out of this shitty fucking state. Feeling seriously sorry for anyone who can't afford to move. I mean, living in Texas always sucked -- it's hot, 1/2 the surface area of my city is covered in parking lots, no public transportation, the real estate market is going absolutely bananas, so it's not even that cheap anymore -- but this is the kick in the ass I needed.

Idk what the fuck is going to happen to this country. I wasn't really sold on having children anyway, but I'm getting my tubes tied as soon as a physician will see me. That decision has been made for me."

Supports my theory that this is a great decision, not just because it helps life, but it'll also help drive out lunatic lefties from red states.

Darwinism in action.

It's not popular to say but the vast majority of these young anti-natalists will change their minds and want kids when they are older.

People are so obsessed with control when it comes to families and kids they would rather castrate themselves than admit these things are mostly beyond your control.

And of course that obsession with control is to benefit employers, tax payers and men who don't want responsibility for their actions, not mostly women.

Which then raised the other point, you are mostly going to be paying for these extra babies. Not just in raising them but also the crime they are going to cause because they mostly wont have fathers who stick around.

Ah yes the traditional racist reply that most of these kids will grow up to be drug dealers and gang bangers.

The argument is asinine. And neither you nor the govt should be allowed to determine which groups of children are expendable or to deem the economic status of the parent means the children are viable.

If you and people like you would put half the thought and energy in getting rid of all govt welfare programs for people and corporations, things would be different. But everyone has a spot on the teat I suppose.

Where did the person you're replying to mention race at all?
