Some people including myself have no interest in having kids. I have absolutely no problem with someone who wants kids having them, but I will never understand why some people try so hard to pressure those who don't. There are already more than enough people out there who didn't want kids in the first place and are lousy parents, there's absolutely no reason for anyone to intentionally bring a child into the world unless they are 100% sure that's something they want to do.

A number of years ago I did England, Scotland, Wales on one of those fancy, swanky bus tours. At some point during the trip a select few of us got on the turps with the tour guide. He told us that he and his wife were educators by trade and didn't have children - "our choice". It was strange to me that he had to quickly qualify that.

I agree that it's strange, but I can understand why. On more than one occasion my partner has received sympathy and/or questions about just why we're unable to have children, it simply does not occur to some people that both of us are (as far as I know) perfectly capable of reproducing but choose not to.

So, you are one of the people intent on removing white folks from the planet? :)
