Who doesn't want kids, ever?

Anyone?

Apparently about one in five women (in the U.S.) never have them these days: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/19/us/19census.html

What percentage of those are by choice may be hard to say.

I don't, but I realize my opinion can change. As it is now I don't see the point, and it's an awful lot of work.

Me.

Why wouldn't you want them? I mean, I can understand all the I wanna be yound&wild thing, but how can a person say for certain that he doesn't want kids ever. Kids are good, once they're yours.
Myself, I dont intend to have them until I'm atleast like 28, but I wanna have them.

My seed needs to disappear entirely.

Well we all hope that, but what about others

I just don't like kids, I didn't even like them when I was a kid. They're just not for me.

Well it's the same with me, but when I think about having mine, I think they're gonna be awesome. You don't have the same feeling?

Other people can mate and I will take full advantage of the spoils of their sex. That is fine for all of me.

Everybody thinks it will be different for them, and that they will be better than all other parents. Until it isn't, and they aren't.

Not to say that you wouldn't find your own kids awesome. Biology pretty much guarantees that.

That's what I'm saying, everybody thinks that:] It seems like you and Banora and the likes don't think that way, I'm wondering why.
I myself am too fucking annoyed by children, but when I think of my own, you know.

Nope, I feel completely opposite when I think about children, even the children I could have.

I just envision an Idiocracy scenario where intelligent people don't have children and the mouth-breathing neanderthals have 10 each.

Even if I did, I value my time, money, and freedom far too much to even consider gambling on a mere "feeling."

Would you really be comfortable making such a life-altering decision on that basis? That seems insane to me.

Uuugh those people freak me out too. Those are usually the crazy bitches who are on a timeline:
I MUST fall in love by 25. I MUST be married at 28. I MUST have a baby at 29." They don't care who it is with, as long as the poor sucker goes along with it.

Strange, the way I see it, it's like thinkin about yourself. When you think about yourself, do you think you're awesome?

Sometimes, but I know as a kid I was more than likely an annoying, expensive little shit stain.

That's the thing. When I'm thinking about having kids, I'm thinking I'll have them when I can support them, when I'm in a good financial situation.
That's what I'm asking, theoretically, if everything's good, would you have children? I would.

But your parents loved you?:]]

Evil, shit-stain children are only a reflection of their parents' parenting skill. Expensive is a given, but all children have the ability to be raised properly.

Yeah, but it is generally frowned upon to give your kid up at the local pound when their behavior problems are too much (or they still crap on the floor).

Hahaha wtf? Any parent can prevent most children's behavioral problems. And most "problems" are usually fairly common and easy to fix.

This thread reminds me of this comic:
