Please explain the environmental impact of a child.  Thank you[/quote]

Here's one explanation: http://oregonstate.edu/ua/ncs/archives/2009/jul/family-planning-major-environmental-emphasis (The focus here is on carbon emissions.)[/quote]

I don't particularly care about an extra child's impact on the environment. If the government or society has a problem with it then they should severely limit immigration (isn't natural birthrates lower than the replacement rates?).

Good luck in trying to persuade me it's wasteful to bring an extra person to this world. [/quote]

It's not just wasteful it is so unnecessary.  I see families with 5 or 6 kids and it just makes me think that the mother is some sort of broodmare who can't help but pump out more kids because that's how she defines her value and purpose in life.  It's just grotesque and does no favor to the litter of kids fighting amongst themselves for their parent's attention. [/quote]

That is just an incredibly unkind, hurtful thing to say.  [/quote]

+1 yeah, wow. What on earth has gone so wrong in your own life that you became such a rude, low class, bitter b*tch? Did you have fertility struggles? [/quote]

Low class? Sweetie, I'm not the one popping out kids like a clown car. And yes, when you are DESTROYING MY PLANET with your little f*** trophies ON MY DIME, it does make me a little bitter.

And no fertility issues here, but thanks for your concern on that  :thumbup: [/quote]

Hm. If THAT is how you characterize / think of children, it seems you must not be a very good mother. Not to mention your clear aggression and anger issues! Sweetie.[/quote]

DP here but I'd agree that women who have 4,5,6 or even more children seem, [b]from afar[/b], to be incredibly selfish and narcissistic.  [b]My assumption[/b] is that they have no other path to self-actualization so they default to popping out one more, and then one more, and so on. [b]A cynic would agree with the PP that some of these women see their children as trophies, reflective of some sort of perceived achievement in life ignoring that fact that having multiple children requires no skill and is reflective of nothing other than fertility[/b].  We've already seen posters upthread proudly say that they couldn't care less about any impact to our collective environment that their behavior may have.  So I'd like to understand from women who have 4,5,6 or more children......why?  At the extreme....say the Duggars.....I'd imagine that there is near consensus that some abhorrent psychosis is driving behavior.  But apart from the insanely large families, what is the rationale for the merely irresponsibly large families?[/quote]

You.....you realize you sound like an absolutely ignorant idiot, correct? [/quote]
