I'm definitely not confusing you with a baby boomer. you're far too fragile for that. Does your mommy tuck you in at night, and tell you that you're special?
Is life Pointless Without Children?

Not if it made me self sufficient and successful, as opposed to whining about how life is hard and the baby boomers are all to blame.
I never blamed boomers for my problem, I'm telling them to stfu like they know me.
By the way Tenpenny I am self sufficient. I have a solid savings, great credit and I've never been in debt. I do it all while reinventing myself. To have people like you tell me im lazy is bullshit.
But you're whinging about not having kids because you're going to get divorced anyway.
I took offense to the above comment about how im apparently useless because I don't have them. Having kids should not be the measure of a man's worth, i used a bad example of how easy i could have kids now. I'm not ready yet but I will have them.
Kids can come in many ways too, be it through birth, adoption, or even through volunteering to help the neighbourhood's families in various ways.
Yep! or as is the case in my family, my daughters friends became part of our family. Which means they have a room at our house available to them whenever they need it or want it. There is a place at our dinner table any night of the week for them. My daugheter and I were particularily close to a couple of her friends who've now had children of their own. I consider them my grand children and will do for them what I would do if they were of my flesh and blood. They are adopted family, but they are family.
We've also adopted as part of our family good friends. We've just had a friend live with us for the last few months while he was between places. We helped him move in and out. He did not pay us "rent" he helped out around the house. Dog walking, cooking dinner, cleaning up, etc. He still has a key to our house and knows he's welcome any time. Maybe it comes from having a very small family growing up or maybe it comes from having been a street kid at 15yrs old and you do for people what you can when you can because you can. If it weren't for the generousity of my friends families, I might have ended up in a very bad place. That's what friends and family are for, to catch you when you can't catch yourself. Everyone needs and deserves people who'll have their back when it's needed.
The way I see it is I have to be responsible for myself first before I can be responsible for another life. I'm not going to end up like some others out there who have kids but can't raise them.
I see so many dead beat dads out there who cant provide for their children properly who are then considered being more responsible than me.
I think its dumb that there are men out there who feed their kids mostly hot dogs, deliscio pizzas and alpha getthi who subsequently spend more money than they should on booze or drugs get treated with more respect than someone who knows when they aren't prepared to have kids at the moment...
I love my kids but if I had a second chance I would be more selfish and wouldn't have given in to social pressure.
I'm very fortunate to have a supportive family and I will do the same for them, but if we're going to be selfish for a minute here, I know life would be much easier and there would be an enormous opportunity to make a societal contribution elsewhere.
The point of life is to serve God, and God said to go forth and multiply. So many of you are only getting the half of it. Yes, you've multiplied but have you gone forth?
Is life 'easier' without kids? Sure, of course it is.
Whether to have kids or not is a personal decision.
So, infertile people are less worthy? Nice god you have there. Hates celiacs, now hates infertile people.

Exactly.
When I think of all the hardships and struggle that those before me went through for me to exist, it blows my mind.
To snub all that effort is something I see as the most selfish thing a person could do.
