Having children is one of the worse things you can do to the environment, hard fact.
That baby in that pic is so cute! It makes me want to have children.
People who don't want kids don't owe anyone a reason as to why. If they wanna argue about who's the better person or whatever, then uh, that's their problem I guess.
I don't judge anyone for wanting kids. My beef is with negligent, selfish, and abusive parenting, which I don't accuse anyone here of doing.
Yup, you can't help but smile. Article countered before it began.
And this is my problem with some environmentalism and veganism advocates... they put the onus on regular people when it should be the corporations.
All this "Don't have kids for the environment" is silly and reductive to me.
this is probably the worst post i have seen on this website
god damn
It's not that simple. The people who would choose to not have children for the environment are more likely to raise eco-minded children therefore it's actually better to move to a swing state and have 10+ kids. Otherwise you're going to end up with a series of presidents that will do far greater harm.
That is kind of a crazy/mind-blowing statistic but after thinking about it for a couple minutes I think it more speaks to how little recycling does to reduce carbon footprint.
Individual humans are statistically meaningless to the environment when the top 100 carbon producers are responsible for well over half of the emissions on the planet. Not having kids based on the environmental impact is completely ridiculous. The OPs reason of wanting more money and free time is totally valid, people should just admit it.
Yep! And these fat cats are doing everything possible to convince us that it's our fault and fight among ourselves.
Less children means less people participating in consumerism.
Pretty much. Why it's worth highlighting what's actually being said instead of nebulous and harsh-sounding statements.
I always wonder about posters like the OP. If they're so confident their life choices are correct, why do they need us to validate them?
Anyway, much like a DMC game, life pre-kids is just the tutorial for what comes after. Oh, you can take care of yourself? Okay, Devil Hunter.
1 kid? Now you're in Son of Sparda; no more holding back.
2? Dante Must Die. Get good or get out.
3+? That's Hell And Hell, right? Wrong. Now you've swapped the disc for NBA Live and have to play zone defense.

What's your goal in this though - to get people to not have a child, or to just make them feel bad for having one? Why do you get to use climate change as a veil to laugh and look down at people through?
If you're concerned about the environment it might be better to persuade people to take action in other ways, than to have a go at them for having a child and not showing guilt for it.
Do all you people who are morally against having children go home for the holidays and judge your parents for birthing you?
"What were you thinking!? Thanks a lot for screwing over the environment by bringing me into this world! Ugh!"
Man. Just gonna ride the lightning at this point and not worry about recycling.
Hahaha, what joke is this?
I'd argue that having a child makes you grow as a person in ways that not having one does or at least gives you opportunities you wouldn't otherwise take. I find having a child gives you more insight into yourself because you're looking at what it's like for a child to grow from an outside view and observe and learn things about yourself that you might not otherwise. Hell, I can easily count several times where my kids have exposed things about me that I didn't realize I was doing because they either picked up on something or mimicked something I did. You'll also learn how to deal with things simply because you need to learn how to in order to deal with certain situations. That doesn't even begin to touch how your kids will develop skills, interests, and other things that differ from you and you will explore those things with them when you might not otherwise.
I legitimately can't understand how someone seriously believes this and if they do, they clearly have a lot more to learn in life and grow than they probably think they do.
I'm going to assume this guy is an opportunistic prick.
Parents of ERA you done fucked up, cuz this is what you have to look forward to
Nah your giving me a laugh. I never thought anyone would go that far.
You grow your own support network when you are older. Thats what is in it for "you."
It took millions of years of evolution and mating to produce a creature that says "I don't care."
This is very personal decision though it seems like people believe they have the right to dictate others' choices on it.
Personally, I don't want children. And the primary reason is just that I genuinely don't think I would be a very good parent. I distract easily, have low patience and tolerance. And I think it's okay to admit that as well - that not everyone is made out to be a parent. I'll admit I'm still young, but I'm transitioning into my career which would have long hours and so I wouldn't have the time to raise a kid right. If I were to have a kid though, I would certainly adopt. But it's also not on me to point fingers at parents and condemn them for having children. That's ridiculous.

Right so we regular people pay the price and have to put in more effort than the organizations that produce most of the pollution and emissions?
That makes zero sense to me.
So once a clean energy source is found and implemented, everyone can start having kids again?
You know everyone shits on Stark for being a war criminal and stuff but no one mentions that he created a free energy source and let the MCU have children guilt-free
No, there's still too many people to support in a sustainable way.
People just can't be like, "I don't wanna have kids" and leave it at that.
They gotta pull some ridiculous argument out to establish "logic and facts."
I was hoping to get some insight like what I'm assuming you were writing when I popped in, and then I saw it was 10 pages.
Good job ERA.
Lol, there's a reason why senior communities have a no children policy and that STDs is a problem with the residents.
The reason why people with children grow old to be crippled is because their children is a constant source is of stress, wear, andtear.
This is something I've thought of before . . . My friends in my age range that have children look 20 years older than my wife and I are. It's amazing.
I can't imagine loading it up onto a ship and sending it all the way across the Pacific Ocean was really doing a lot of good to begin with.
