How is this then- if nobody had children then the human race would end.
To which you reply- that is a bad thing?
Well, I'd reply with "BINGO!" ;)
(And that doesn't mean you're a breeder, just that the argument is age-old and I bet most childless by choice have heard it more than once. Not to mention that it's quite an hollow argument - how likely do you think it is that everyone would just stop having kids?)

Hey it's going to end someday might as well speed it along

Interestingly, my computer just shut down on me after I made the last post. It just turned off by itself.
I think someone or something's trying to give me some sort of message here.

Anyway - like others here, I don't have kids and don't plan to. I don't buy the argument that me not having kids will lead to the extinction of the human race. Yes, if everyone did that then it would be a problem but honestly most people having kids are not 'thinking of the species'.
Some people want kids, and some don't. Some people would be (or are) good parents and some have no clue or inclination. I know which combination I am and don't feel guilty for the choice.

And there lies the difference between us (although I put words in your mouth it does seem to be an attitude of many childfree).
For one, those really are your words and no one else's, and for two, if I really knew how to make absolutely everyone on this planet to parrot whatever I did, I'd just place a bucket on the street and throw a coin into it, then laugh all the way to the bank.

That would certainly be a lot of buckets...

We're going to have 10 babies and then get a tv show. That's what babies are for, to get on tv. So all you not having babies people enjoy not being on tv and don't forget to set your tivos and DVRs for my new show about my 10 babies.

Yeah, that statement about the human race becoming extinct, that's a real solid argument. Real solid. I hadn't even thought of it. That could actually happen, right? Well, looks like I better get fucking. Anyone interested?

I like dogs better than children. Dogs don't talk back.
I might have kids some day when I'm in my thirties but honestly I don't see myself being very good at being a dad. Certainly better than my own, but that's not saying much. That and there's a concern about shit like disabilities- what if I give my kid hereditary deafness? That would fucking suck for him and for me. I don't want that.

I had a whole rant written out about this but I just can't think of anything that really express how I feel. Well done, morons. :nono:
