so....Not having children=Selfish?

It's fine if you don't reproduce, but the consequences which you (and others) have to pay for will still occur.

Economy taking a hit or even going down the tube. Your government might try to counter it with immigration. The influx of immigrants will reshape your country's culture landscape resulting in culture clash/shock - the severity will depend on rate of influx. The immigrants will not necessarily adapt - old habits die hard. This is especially true if they are immigrating for monetary reasons rather than culture reasons. They did not grow up in your culture, they will never really be "one of you". If there are significant numbers of them, they probably won't have to adapt - they have enough "social support" to form their own sub-culture.

Whatever. Life goes on. Gene lines that breed will continue on and become the future of the human race. Gene lines that don't, will die out a.k.a extinction. Natural selection at work.

And so the phenomenon on this rock known as "life" continues.

Besides, children are awful.

Awww - are children being mean?

Nah, they're just huge burdens. I don't understand why someone would willingly create such a massive drain on their own resources.

Lol, this is the complete opposite of my opinion, if anyone's read my "Unpopular Opinions" thread.

If anything, we have more than enough children.

Please keep that sensationalist overpopulation bullshit away from me. If youre here on the escapist youre in the orange band and overpopulation just ISNT an issue. End of story. That argument is completely fallacious and i want it to die.

If you want kids, have kids, and dont let anyone guilt you otherwise.
