Figured this might make a good Thread.
I have known a few people now with the same thought process. In which they all agreed that themselves, and everyone else, that has been put on this earth are here for one main purpose in life, to breed and keep the population going. And if they do not breed, (so I have heard some refer) that they are a "waste of space", "useless", and its "not worth living, if you are not contributing".
Personally, I disagree with this opinion (not that people shouldn't breed, but that its necassary for EVERYONE to, and that they are worthless if they don't).
First off, its my right to choose wether or not I want children. If I choose not to, I probably have a really good reason for it, and its my business and no one elses.
Secondly, I don't think some people who are having kids should be having them. There are a lot of un-fit parents out there. People who mentally or physically abuse their children. People who have children for all the wrong reasons; try and keep their significant other from leaving them, get a monthly check from the government, the attention babies bring, or someone just wanting to feel loved by someone.
Thirdly, Some people aren't able to have children; even if they wanted to, and no one should hold that against a person.
Lastly, I believe that we are over-populated as it is. Most of us causing damage to poor Mother Earth. It's not like we are in short supply of the Human Species.
Any thoughts on the subject?
