I think it's kind of sad how many people here don't want kids.
That's because they're young, most people aren't too keen on the responsibilities of having a kid when they're in their teens.

Yeah right. Kids gonna learn to take a beating.

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;31708586]It's just as much of a baseless assumption to assume that I won't feel this way in 20 years.[/QUOTE]
You'd be dumb to assume that you'll think the same way in 20 years
I don't think the same way I did 2 years ago, let alone 20

[QUOTE=Megafanx13;31704564]My dad tried to use "reasonable force" against me a few times in my life, and it didn't "teach me to be a respectable person" because I was already a respectable person, and I only grew more bitter because of it. Fortunately I was able to move on and forgive him, and get on with life, but the moral of the story is, "reasonable force" is too much force.[/QUOTE]
just because he says its "reasonable force" doesn't mean it is

I think it's safe to say the majority of facepunch doesn't a girlfriend and is relatively inexperienced with the opposite sex

His massively overinflated ego leads him to project himself onto everyone else on FP, therefore leading him to say things such as "Most FPers don't have girlfriends and are socially inept."
I'm getting a vasectomy as soon as opportunity arises anyway.
If I'm ever going to have a kid, I'd at least want it to grow up in stable surroundings. I see couples that get kids too early all the time. It mostly ends in divorce, economic instability(not being able to support the family), parents that don't finish their education and other negative effects.
Also, slapping your kid will only make it worse.

And you are "relatively inexperienced" with proper spelling, that doesn't mean that everyone on Facepuch is.

I think it's safe to say you don't know what your talking about. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and get a girlfriend.
I'm 25, have a pretty decent job with good prospects, and have been with my girlfriend for 4 and a half years now.
We hope to start a family in about 3 or 4 years time. We want to have 3 children. I have a thing about odd numbers really irritating me, but I'm getting over that for the sake of a rational discussion we had. We agreed that one child may be lonely, and that two may be just as bad; if something happens to one of them growing up then the other one will be left to deal with it as the sole surviving sibling. We don't want to have too many children since we want their inheritance to actually mean something tangible. I'm from a large family, and the money spent on raising us has been really taxing on my parents. And when they die, what they leave is going to be split up between 5 of us and so there wont be as much of a share each. I wan't whatever I leave my children to be substantial and to help ensure the quality of their lives.
We don't wan't to start too early since we want to enjoy our lives, but we don't want to start too late either. My girlfriend never got to know any of her grandparents since they all died relatively young. I want us both to get to know our grandchildren, and even help with raising them for a while.
I remember the have you ever had a girlfriend thread it was like, 70% of facepunch or something insane that had never, ever had a girlfriend. It happened and most of those people were either in their teens or they were in their twenties or older.

2 is a good number. My brother and I hardly ever talk to each other, when we do it's about Halo or TF2 or something as stupid. Really 2 is a good number, having 3 leaves a person in the middle, makes the age difference even larger, and it makes things difficult when you go shopping, as everything is in 4's not 5's. So someone misses out, or you have to buy twice as much.
My mother has 2 siblings, one crashed his car and died, the other one didn't survive child birth. Having any amount of children can be bad really.
Also inheritance, who gives a toss. It's more the fact that someone has died, and your worried about the money. If your looking at it like that have 1 as it will be cheaper and your more likely to have the money to look after it when you die, rather than 3 kids.
As a person that came about due to their parents having a child I think that NOT having children can be a bad thing. If I wasn't born I would be very unhappy for some reason. Or rather I wouldn't.
I'd like to have kids. Maybe when I'm 30, have a job and settled down.

There's a whole thread called sex, girlfriends and shit. Most people who post in it have girlfriends, and to really shake things up. I'm a girl and have a boyfriend. Who is also a facepuncher. And I'm guessing most of Facepunch is still in their early teens where having a girlfriend is seen as a weird thing.
anyone who knows anything about the forums knows that there is a relationships sub forum
[editline]14th August 2011[/editline]
also maybe, why would that be a weird thing?
Wouldn't it be the other way around?

No it's ironic because you've been on your high horse saying that everyone on facepunch is socially inept.
you're putting words in my mouth, there's a difference between what I said and being 'socially inept'
I don't even want kids.
Nor do I particularly want a girlfriend.
Seems like a waste of time unless you're really desperate to fuck someone.
people need to stop shitting out so many fucking kids
the world is overpopulated. i'm not calling for a bloody genocide but stop making babies for christ sake
earth is no where near full capacity
