...hmmmm, here in my country we have a saying "I am here and behind me comes the flood" - you know? It seems like you don't care what happens when you pass away, when you're just gone. You're over and that's it.

I don't think so. I think it's sort of (in a twisted way maybe, I admit) my responsibility to have a child and just let the family carry on.

but again, I ain't blinded by any beliefs or anything, I'm just thinking about it.

No, it's not selfish, it's being responsible to the long-term health of our planet, so that it is less over-populated, its resources less stressed.

My kids are going to be boss, and fuck modern names like 'Butch' and 'Candy', the children of Danny Himself will sport classic names like 'James' and 'Teresa'. I want to raise a family (well, not right now) because I love a family atmosphere and I never fully had a real family of my own. If I can start off a few more fantastic Fitzgerald lives then I will.

You'll all be super jealous!

so that you're caring about the planet, you cut yourself short of the pleasures of having and raising an offspring? now that's what I call global thinking .

it's also not selfish for me to not want big saggy boobs engorged with milk or cheese on my thighs and ass. i have enough to worry about. i can't financially support a child, nor do i have room to house one, nor do i have my shit together, so it would be selfish and irresponsible of me to want to put a kid through any of that.

don't want. kids are annoying and ive no time to take care of them, or i dont wanna spend my time caring them. but, who knows? i dont want kids now but it doesnt mean that i dont want them in the future.
