why do people have children? goddamn!

aite ima get a lil ranty hea':

-so they can keep up with the joneses. you're not anyone unless you've got the perfect spouse and children.

-for selfish reasons: the novelty of a mini-me, continuing bloodlines, a safety net when you're a geriatric

-to bestow the world with the next einstein or newton (though the odds of that are low)

is anyone else sick of hearing people patting themselves on their backs for having children? as if it's some kind of contribution to society? it's very annoying to hear people complain about how hard parenthood is. if they can't handle it, they should not have had em in the first place! personally, i don't care at all if anonymous #123 shits out another human being.

obviously this isnt directed to any 4chaners since having children would require some kind of copulation. so here's a more relevant topic: do you feel obliged to do whatever your parents say because they gave you the gift of life?

No, fuck no, I see my parents a resource that I can mooch off. So what if they didn't have me? Then I wouldn't be alive to even think about it. And life isn't that great, its rather pointless when you think about it, but being dead isn't fun either. Its like the question in all abortion debates, what if you were aborted? I give them the same answer from above, life isn't precious, its just a well organized energy system.
