You have a very good reason to choose to be single. My comments were specifically aimed at married people who choose to not have children, and most likely for selfish reasons

"Most likely." How is having children a selfless act? Most people who have children are expressing the ultimate in selfish megalomania -- they want to make another copy of themselves.

Now, this is OK -- it is nature's way if using our self-love to propogate the sepcies. But don't elevate people who have kids to some sort of selfless status. It just ain't so.

The term "most likely" may not be 100% accurate, but it does leave out many people. I have seen people decide to HAVE children for all the wrong reasons as well.

Those of us with children are just laughing at your ignorant statement.
