What's So Terrible About Kids?
Bluesummers:
At age 25, I am only now discovering all the nuances of taxation, economics, world politics, etc.
When I was 10, I was focused on how fast I could bike downhill. That's about it.
Is it cold in here?:
Some completely reasonable babies and toddlers on the train this trip. Parental supervision seems to be adequate. Inadvertent movie reference from yesterday: mother warns "Logan, don't run!".
Method of Madness:
"Not until you're 30!"
I've decided fairly recently (past year or two) that I do want kids at some point (as opposed to not knowing) but not until I'm established in my career. However, I'm not sure I could say why. So I definitely wouldn't criticize sounding for not wanting kids.

I might be convinced to adopt. Maybe. If it was really important to my partner, and I thought that I was going to be with her for the rest of our lives. Other than adoption, my only other choice would be artificial insemination, and I see no point of that. Plus, fuck my genes. My current girlfriend's genes are pretty solid, granted.
I personally consider it selfish to procreate when we are already overpopulated AND there are so many kids who need a good home. Adding more humans to an already fucked up situation just be cause you want your own seems like the height of selfishness. But, that's just me.
I am a godparent to the daughter of two friends of mine, if anything were to happen to them I would step in and take care of her.
idontunderstand:
I'd have to agree it's selfish, but many things are. Having a car is selfish. Drinking alcohol is selfish. Buying nice clothes is selfish. Being a relatively wealthy citizen in a first-world country when there are people starving is elsewhere, well, selfish on some level. If you think students are poor here, go ask how much a lawyer makes in Georgia. I don't believe that me getting a kid is detrimental to the world in a larger perspective, however. But that's another discussion..
