It's the most basic survival instinct maybe? Jesus what a dumb fucking comment, holy shit.
I am always flabbergasted by people trying to argue that having kids is illogical, selfish, unnatural, etc. Like, the fuck you think we've been doing as a species for millions of years? What ya think every other living being on earth is doing?
People trying to reinvent the wheel and making something mundane unnecessarily complicated just annoy the shit out of me. No one is forcing anyone to have kids (at least in societies that don't ban abortions). You don't want them or don't feel equipped to have them - no one cares. But yeah let's make your own insecurities and traumas and whatever personal reasons you have into an ideology that promotes that creating new life is bad per se.
Having kids is neither good nor bad. It is not selfish or altruistic. It just is. There is no need in overly moralizing it.
Just because something is natural doesn't make it rational.
The preservation of our own species is irrational, got it. Fuck off, edge lord. Please don't ever get kids.
What a weird insult rofl
It's like telling someone who doesn't like drinking, "I hope you never have another beer!"
I'm guessing you're in your early twenties and once you grow out of your edge lord phase, you might get the idea to procreate regardless of your bullshit opinions you have now. Unless you start over with school and take it seriously, you shouldn't pass on your verbal diarrhea to children.
Lol the arrogance. You just can't fathom that other people think differently. You just assume anyone who doesn't have the same weird subconscious drives as you is somehow defective. And when confronted with the illogical nature of what you believe, you get angry and defensive.
Nah, I read your drivel and concluded that you're either incredibly dumb or simply naive. I'm hoping for the latter.
Drivel like, "hey can you explain why having kids makes you happy"?
