How about you change the laws to where fathers/exhusbands are no longer wage-slaves to their former wifes, and I might father some children then.
And then there is those 40 million abortions.
"Perhaps if the participants had grim, purposeful looks on their faces during the act, it would help?
"
Another sure clue that the sex is recreational is if the people are naked. So, you need to take that photo while having sex fully clothed, with only sufficient clothing removed to allow for the act.
Once per month is all that's allowed, at the woman's most fertile time. Then, after having sex, you'll be unclean for several days, have to perform ritual cleansing procedures and stay away from the altar until the unclean period has passed.
The bottom line is that it's easier just to have a child as soon as possible, so you can vote. I suggest that would-be voters begin having intercourse in earnest about age 16, so they can vote as soon as they are 18.
Yeah...that's the ticket.
"I agree with your sentiments - however I still plan on utilizing SS and medicare."
Well, I've been paying for it all these years so I will use it if available. The point is I don't feel others are obligated to breed just to ensure my future security.

The above is so overflowing with ignorance that its hard to know where to start. First, where did the monks come from? Spontaneous combustion? Second, ya ever hear of the Arabs? The Chinese? You know, other cultures that had vibrant civilizations while Europe was a cesspit?
Then there was that Jew, Jesus. Last I heard, he didn't have any kids either. Perhaps you'd like to ignore his contributions as well.
YetJesus had parents. He didnt spring from a hole in the ground (well, he did, but after death, not before birth.) And, apparently you didnt read the Da Vinci Code.
Scourge of God, eh? You're the chosen carrying of the whip, then? That's good to know. Someone needs to carry on with the tradition of mindless punishments in the name of God, I suppose.
A final bit of ignorance. If youve never heard of Attila the Hun, perhaps you dont have what it takes to post on this forum. Youd be more comfortable at DU, most likely.
Good idea. I will do so right away.
Hey - My $$$ is on BraveMan -- KO in the first.
;-)
"There is absolutely no nobility in deciding to remain childless for purely selfish reasons."
Ah, I see. And who is the judge of that, Antoninus? You? Me? The Elders?
And...is "nobility" required to cast your vote? My wife and I are childless. Why are we childless? Do you know? Would you insist that I explain the reason to you before gaining full citizenship? Is it your business?
Not every childless couple is childless out of selfish reasons, dear Antoninus. And their reasons for being childless are of no concern to you whatsoever.
Good for you for having children (assuming that you do). That is your business. My childlessness is none of your concern, nor is it the concern of anyone other than myself and my wife. Your assumptions are unwelcome.
Yeah, I've noticed that the only people at my company who are allowed to work from home are women with kids...
The Da Vinci Code???? LOL! Please say that was sarcasm!
Hey, you pay taxes to support them when they grow up and join the army.
"Hey, you pay taxes to support them when they grow up and join the army."
And when they take civil service jobs, run for political office, or become teachers in the public schools, and so on and so on.
Heck, us childless folks are paying for lots of those children, it seems. Hmm...
Of course it was. :->
"Now, why are you so pissy about building the future for those to come? We are carrying you"
Oh please, you can't be serious. Most of the "childless by choice" are serious career minded folks who are driving the economy. They ARE some of the thinkers, the leaders, the innovators, because they have the time and the resources to be them. They contribute to the economy and society every bit as much if not more as those who do nothing else but pop out a few kids, and I say this as a stay at home mom of three. One could even say that THEY are carrying US, from an economic perspective anyway, since they are the ones who keep the economy humming, but I won't say that because I realize we all have our own equally important contributions to make.
"This thread really brough them out of the woodwork. Well, at least today I learned that Africa is a hell hole because of a lack of "breeders"."
And here I thought much of the world's poverty was caused by a serious overpopulation problem. Who knew?
Not every childless person is that way because they simply don't want children.
There are so many valid scenarios for not having children. And to each one's own, I believe. Last I looked, America was a free nation.
For some pusillanimous pismire to come along and condemn all of those people and suggest disenfranchisement is just ludicrous.
