you are going to be one of those shitty parents who raise a pregger at age 19
[QUOTE=Jallen;31708410]If you have no children, your genetics will go with you to the grave. There will be no part of you in the future of the human race and you will have no descendants.
I don't know about you, but I want descendants.[/QUOTE]
I don't care about descendants really, all they will do is have some simalair traits but thats it, I don't really get why people want descendants so much.

haha presented in the worst format possible
[QUOTE=Sanius;31715081]earth is no where near full capacity[/QUOTE]
well that's relative. even with current human population, some important resources are foreseen to be depleted some time in near future, so with more people on the way that process is only gonna go faster.
but yeah right, the world will still be here in the year 5000 and oil has definitely ran dry by then so we are just gonna have to wait and see.

The entire human population can fit into Los Angeles if everyone were to stand shoulder to shoulder. It's probably pretty safe to say that the Earth hasn't reached full capacity. Yet at least.

Because we'll only reach our capacity when everyone has to stand shoulder to shoulder.

It's so they can sit on a cloud and watch from above all the things their sperm clones do.

Mathematical equation please.
[QUOTE=Zeke129;31704488]you know who hits their kids
people who can't parent[/QUOTE]
Hey, hitting is SOMETIME'S justified.
I've always been a curious as hell bastard and as a kid I had a habit of 'breaking into' locked cupboards in the kitchen, almost got myself stuck in the fridge/freezer. Telling me not to do it just wouldn't work because I didn't care - there was stuff to find!
One day I went to stick my hand in the oven at one point because I didn't believe my mum that it was hot in there (I mean... it's a box that makes heat. Come on. That doesn't sound feasible!). I got a pretty hard smack across the back of my wrist and after that point I never tried sticking my hand in that oven again (I still broke into the locked cupboards though, they didn't manage to stop that).

"ur wrong and heres why: lol"
[QUOTE=GodKing;31719943]Mathematical equation please.[/QUOTE]
There are roughly 7 billion humans in existence today.
According to wikipedia the Los Angeles metropolitan area covers a total surface area of some 12562.20 km^2. This is equal to 12562200000 m^2 (that's 12 billion, 562 million, 200 thousand square metres).
Now assuming that life is anything like the Sims and you can only fit one person into a square of size 1m^2 (which is ridiculous because there's no way in hell that the average person has a shoulder width, or a 'depth' of 1m) then that means that Los Angeles can hold 12 billion, 562 million, 200 thousand people, some 5 and a half billion MORE people than are in existence today (or an increase in world population of 71% over its current number).
..Yeah. I'll pass on having kids. Don't like them.

I'm sure you've been asked this question before, and I'm really sorry to bother you about this.

um
we aren't overpopulated
there's plenty of arable farm land to support the population of the earth we're just shit at distributing food and stuff, and there's stuff like aeroponics in skyscrapers which will really help
the population is predicted to flatten out at 10 billion about a century from now and population growth is actually [b]going down[/b] ([url]http://www.economist.com/node/18681806?story_id=18681806[/url])
saying the whole world is overpopulated is retarded within itself. a region can be overpopulated but by no means is the whole planet overpopulated
Also, it's kind of infuriating how the article treats having a child like it's supposed to be a economic investment. Then again, the guys who that article quotes treating it like that make jobs out of acting like money is the only important thing.
I want to live alone
Me too, that'd be pretty awesome tbh
I'd get lonely.
get a cat :3
[editline]14th August 2011[/editline]
honestly I'm kinda really looking forward to getting my own place, just me
It's something I've really wanted for years.
Id get bored as shit living by myself.
Well I guess we're all different
I can't wait
I can't wait until I have an awesome family of a lovely wife, several kids and some cats.
[QUOTE=Thaard;31710127]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.[/QUOTE]
Exactly this. I hate to turn this into a discussion about reproductive rights and 1984, but I can't help but think that some parents, like the video stated, are just psychologically unfit to have a child. Seriously. Then I got to thinking about different tests people could pass to start a family, but I don't think restriction would solve anything. I think education would help the human race better.

And if so, are you actually a girl?
No, really?
Luckily I never plan on having kids; I don't have the patience or mind to have to take care of some babbling voodoo beast.
ahh, the complexities of life

That's the strangest description of a baby I've ever heard.
If I were to have kids I'd probably be a terrible father.
