[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had kids because that is what life is about, reproducing. [/quote]
 
So the lives of those who can't or won't reproduce are about nothing? [/quote]

Honestly, yes. Then you are just living to die. [/quote]

Wow. You have a sick and sad view of life. There is so much more to life than simply kids. It's okay if your kids are the biggest and most important part of your life but to basically say that any childless person's life is worthless is a bit much. There are lots of childless people who help others and make the world better and worth living in. [/quote]

Particularly strange given that child - free people engage in more community service, have a much smaller environmental footprint,  and subsidize other people's kids with their tax dollars.

To say that being a mother is more meaningful than being a great artist, a pioneering scientist, or humanitarian is insane.

The fact that having kids is the most meaningful thing in your life doesn't mean it's the most meaningful thing in human life. The imperative to reproduce exists across the animal kingdom to be sure, but most of what makes humans special does not. Art, technology, religion, music, literature, and spoken language are all uniquely human. To reduce human existence to the reproduction imperative is just sad.

Also self deluded. None of you would be encouraging your kids to achieve academically and pursue competitive education options if all you wanted was for them to reproduce. You'd be encouraging them to become accountants or electricians so they could earn a decent living and be home for dinner. [/quote]
