Oh yes, we are entirely insane. Nuts, in fact, but not for that reason alone.

Because sex is fun, feels good, and in case you were educated in an abstinence -only sex education program, that's where babies come from. :rolleyes:

People reproduce to continue the structure of "civilization" which will one day destroy planet earth as we know it. We are like a virus that will never end until we completely destroy and consume the planet that we live in.

Yeah, but I was talking with some friends, and they were all saying they wanted kids eventually...

I don't. I hate kids. I couldn't imagine any instance where I would want kids.

Me too. We're the sane ones. :D

Maybe it's just because I've grown up in a big family and seen what the monsters can do when concentrated in a small area.

yeah everyone thinks that

then you meet a nice girl, she lets you have sex with her, its good
she wants to get married so you get married
she wants a baby, so you have a baby

your life is never your own again.

But yet you don't complain because having her is worth it.

Is it not true though? what do you think will happen in about 150 years? the only realistic solution is for a gigantic genocide to occur in which most populations are exterminated leaving a small population that will not destroy the earth because of its small size. Of course no one wants to except this reality because its "wrong" or "crazy".... but this conformist opinion will help bring an end to this world.

Jeez, you sound bitter, and you're a woman.It's true, though. Your life as your own self sufficient, self directing human is over. It never stops. My sister in law and brother in law are both over 50 and still take their crap home to their mother.... :rolleyes: I kid you not.

Funny, I'm a man, and my first wife suddenly decided after the birth that she didn't want children.

That's fine - I love kids, and I'm pretty good with raising them, too. I have three, and no, they don't OWN me. It's not for people who want to continue enjoying the fruits of single life, but there's no better recipe for the future than influencing your own children.

After all, what are YOU doing to create the people of tomorrow? Engaging in wishful thinking?

Yay chemicals!

Breastfeeding is an especially good bonding mechanism. Releases its own set of 'love chemicals'.

Some many not consider it romantic, but I kinda like the fact that the human body is designed to love.

Humans are a very small part of this world. I will admit that with our technology we could do a lot of damage to the earth, but compared to so many other creatures, we really have not been alive as a species that long. Basically at this point we are pretty much an insignificant species. So much would go on without us.
