You should have kids. Otherwise what is the point of your existence? Are you changing the world in some meaningful way? If not, and you don't even produce someone who might, you are just wasting resources.

Being alive is wasting resources? You should have kids if you want and are up to the responsibility. It's not a task to be taken lightly and to each their own.

How is it not? When you die all your experiences die with you. Nothing is remembered. What exactly are you leaving behind? What difference have you made besides using up resources?

This is so absurd I can't even imagine how you came to this conclusion. So every great visionary, philosopher, mathematician, architect, author, musician, artist, humanitarian, captain of industry, religious leaders did NOTHING if they didn't squirt out a rugrat?

Are you changing the world in some meaningful way?

Did you even read what I wrote? Or are you just one of these NPC leftists who skims for key words to pick the right pre programmed response? Are you any of those things?

It doesn't matter what I am and am not doing. Your reply that a person cannot change the world in some meaningful way without having offspring is patently absurd but that's a nice ad hominem. A sure sign you've lost the debate. Thanks for playing.

This is what I wrote:

Then you replied with:

So every great visionary, (blah blah blah) did NOTHING if they didn't squirt out a rugrat?

So clearly you did not understand English. Or you are this woman.

If you made the world better in some way that will survive you then you are not a waste of resources. If you have kids that constitutes making the world a better place. Otherwise you are a waste of resources. So, yes, it does matter what you are or are not doing.

If you are doing nothing now then adding the responsibility of rearing a child isn't going to help. It's a long arduous journey not to be taken lightly and I don't blame people for wanting to do it. If they're losers now then why do you want their loser offspring anyway?
