Catholic Church worried there will be less kids for it to abuse? ** former Catholic long time Athiest, I don't give two $#!ts what my former Religion says.
Why doesn't the Pope just go have kids of his own, he's so worried about lack of kids.? *8 BILLION* global population is not enough to feed Capitalism and the multi-billion (possibly trillion) dollar Religious industry?
Pronatalists: "but who's going to look after you when your old?" Say to them "do YOU look after your own parents when they're old?" This is why we have Social Security and we/You should support that.
I see bringing in life as selfish because wow you had sex and now- pop! Out comes a baby boy or girl... And now they have a conscious mind as they grow up and i personally believe in heaven and hell- so the knowledge of them potentially stressing out like i do with going to hell... sounds "wonderful" no? Why do i want this for my potential kid? I also see it rigged... Life, because you won't get what you want... so- yeah, masturbation is another topic... at least you aren't impregnating anyone but you are somewhat having sex with a demon- but i haven't seen a kid pop out of thin air so that's good 💀 Antinatalism + Christianity = Me 😅 Do i see people (couples) who have kids as selfish or evil? I don't feel much for them... that is their decision... "Good luck!" (i would probably say in my head or out loud..) that kid will/could potentially be completely opposite of you, die and potentially be burning in hell... Forever. 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ Are you sure you wanted THIS? was it worth it!? people are stubborn, arrogant, other negative things... I've listened to David Benetar and am convinced by most of his points about life... but i ultimately put Jesus above Antinatalism obviously (call me selective) whatever... this is my way of thinking of it or "managing life" before i croak... if i don't have kids by force will i go to hell? so be it- i DON'T WANT TO GO TO HELL... but i personally believe and trust that Jesus Christ will save me from a devil's hellfire... I'm not obligated to have offspring ffs.
Why do some people go bald much younger then people in there family? Is there something else going on other then genetics if they go bald much younger then there dad or family ?
I don’t understand people who run marathons. It’s much easier to not move. I don’t understand people who build careers, it’s easier to just have an easy 9-4. I don’t understand having relationships, it’s easier to be alone. Why even have a pet, it makes it harder to have to watch them if you want to do something else. I’m being sarcastic. Nothing in life that’s easy is worth doing. You’re here thanks to someone else having you. Having children and being a good parents is a lot of work but its so worth it!
if no having children is a good thing,.....then why do you exist? Some the are happy with children and love them some doesnt want.....it must be a balance in a away like in nature.
@@Suplem Where in this video did I say not having children is a good thing? I didn't express an opinion that children were bad or that people shouldn't have them.
The problem is, people like you that think this deeply don’t have children. They debate themselves out of it and their genes don’t get passed on. On the other hand people that barely have two brain cells to rub together have 5 kids. And that’s how we end up with Donald Trump as president.
I don't reject moral principles, and I don't think life is meaningless. Therefore, I don't view myself as a nihilist. I think we are free to choose the meaning we assign to our own lives.
I recently came accross 2 types of photos of 2 people living different lives and it got me really thinking about changing my life... I envyd the person who travels the world with beautiful photos of themselves with their backpack on with one of the 7 wonders of the world behind them on the photo for example more than the person with a ferrari and a big beautiful house. And that got me thinking my brain is trying to tell me something. What i dont need and want is stress of earning enough to afford a big house and a supercar(expencive car) but to explore this beautiful planet and all of mother nature. Now that is life!!!
people aren’t having kids nowadays because they’re finally realizing that it’s a choice. i don’t want a life time responsibility of taking care of another person. i think people have kids because they think kids are cute. they are cute but they outgrow that.
Lol, my goodness. This rant was a waste if time. This person is lost and honestly doesn't know what he wants. It's pretty obvious from his diatribe. Live and work in several different countries a year lol. Ok, to what in? Living like "royalty" in Thailand, Philippines, etc. while overlooking the weaker economy and poverty that allows Americans to live that way? What a joke. Anyone taking this as serious advice will never build wealth, will never have a family of their own or solid social connections. You will never be grounded and stable wandering from one place to the next while trying to "find yourself" lol. You will be like a leaf in the wind. And in the end you will have accomplished nothing. It's time to grow up, mature, establish yourself, and become grounded. Become stable. Do not follow this kind of advice. You will regret it in your twilight years.
@andyholder6039 Giving up on the traditional American dream doesn't mean giving up on progressing in general through life. I work full time and invest a lot. My goals and long-term outlook have just transformed away from what is traditional and may not involve buying a house. If you're pissed off, maybe log out for the day. My decisions shouldn't emotionally impact you.
I am a man And I don’t want kids. I am 30 and I got hobbies and I have been a parent to my siblings and to my parents. I even work with kids before. I need my enjoyment and freedom.
I don’t want children because I don’t want them to face JEE/NEET ever again. I couldn’t figure out maths thus I don’t want them to face it anymore.😭😭😭😭
I love having kids. I work from home in engineering. My wife takes care of the house. We bought a cheap house in 5 acres. We have chickens and had goats. It's hard at times, but we planned all of it, so the the hard times are bearable.
I always wanted a little girl. My ex of two years slept with another man and got pregnant… I had to wait for 9 months do to a DNA test to find out if I was the father… During those 9 months, i went from begging God to not let this be the way I become a father to I getting really attached to the idea of becoming a father, even if I ended up being a single father… Turns out the baby was a girl, I was happy, I bought things for the spare room in my house, my mother (God bless her) took them and got a refund, she said “Do not start becoming a father until you know you are the father”… 9 months went by and I got a DNA test that said I was NOT the father. It destroyed me and relieved me simultaneously, the strangest feeling I have ever had… The idea of becoming a father died.
I'm 42 and I don't have any children and I don't ever want to have any children. I don't even want to be the "cool uncle" so I ignore all of my nieces and nephews. I used to want to be a teacher, but I hated being a substitute so much that I changed my mind. And I hated being a substitute because of all the kids who don't know how to behave. But, even the well-behaved ones are awkward to be around. Also, I can't even afford to pay my own bills as a single man with no dependents! How could I ever be able to afford to have kids!? I can barely handle the responsibility of keeping pets alive, so how could I handle raising children!? Yes, I know I would (probably) have help, but it would still be an incredible responsibility that I don't want to have to deal with! NOTHING about having kids appeals to me at all! Everything about being a parent and about kids sounds terrible to me! Do I need to list all the ways the kids are terrible? Having children would ruin my life! And I don't understand how anyone could possibly think otherwise!
For me, it's not so much a decision to not have children, it's simply the fact that I don't get into romantic relationships and I don't fall in love with people, it's never been a lack of options but more of a lack of interest in dating. That's not to say I don't have a libido, in some cases it can be quite high, but I never look at a beautiful woman and picture her in that way, except when I'm in that state, which tends to only happen when I'm at home anyways. To the LGBTQIA community I guess they would call me aroace based on that description. The thing is I did have crushes as a kid, but it was more aesthetic attraction, like thinking a girl looked nice without any genuine attraction, except that back then, we didn't have a label for it so I always assumed I was straight. As for having children, it's not impossible when you're aroace but it involves either being a single parent, or being in a platonic relationship with someone that you have kids with, both situations are highly unlikely to happen and extremely difficult. It's not that I don't want kids, but I don't need to have kids to be happy, I have hobbies and interests and most importantly, I have siblings, so even when I don't really have friends to hang out with, I still have my siblings and they're not going to go away before me since I'm the oldest and the tallest, so less likely to outlive them. People with kids talk all the time about how you get lonely if you have no kids but the truth is, even when you get so old that most of your family has passed away, you still have your siblings, so you're never alone, and you still make friends throughout your life, I constantly make new ones when I go out to events, it's just more difficult to keep in touch as an adult with different schedules and when you live far away from each other. I am very thankful for the fact that I don't come from a conservative family or a conservative country because nobody really puts any pressure on me to get married and have kids. My family just assumes I'll get a girlfriend someday and children eventually, but they don't put as much importance on that as many Americans do (especially the southerners). I'm from Quebec, and for historical reasons, we got rid of religion a long time ago, most people are only christian through tradition but churches remain mostly empty or tend to be more popular among the immigrants.
That's quite the assumption. Correlating people who are childfree with being lazy is odd. Does that make people who want children suddenly not lazy? I've seen quite a lot of terribly lazy parents over my life. Why give credit to people who have a compulsion towards having children, as if it's a courageous act to have children when you want them? Would you prefer people who don't want children to have them anyway? I don't know what the opposite of lazy would be in the context you've chosen to use it, but is it not possible for someone to be "that" without having children? I don't understand people with your perspective. How you demonize and fantasize the worst about people who make a conscious choice to be childfree, more than you would even terrible parents. I imagine there's something deeper behind your generalizations.
@cardwell_XXI I think biologically, it makes sense that we evolved to develop that level of love and emotional dependence on children after having them. A lot of parents share similar sentiments. Without that feeling, it's less likely that we would make the level of sacrifices needed for our children. However, some people definitely don't develop that when they have children. It's like that emotional switch never turns on. You can see it by how some parents treat and raise their children. Fascinating stuff
For me, it's different as I'm gay so accidentally having a child is off the cards. Also adoption would be off the cards as well if I'm honest because they'll see a history of metal health conditions and substance abuse.. Not exactly the ideal adoptive parent. I've known deep down that I would never have a child and totally accept it. I believe God puts us all here for different reasons and I just contribute to life in other ways.. ❤
I don't want kids because i am just unable to, i mentally can't be a father. I am an introvert yet i'm easily stressed, wich proves i am not fit to live in the family inviroment. Since i was (maybe) 13 i knew that living alone in an appartement with cats and getting multiple visits from my family members is right for me. I am never changing my mind.
I'm 39, I always wanted a wife and kids but it never happened because women don't like me, they treat me like garbage and cheat on me and take as much money as they can from me.. and then I realized, I don't need a wife and kids, I'm perfectly happy alone so I'll die alone..
As a child I asked my Mother the following question whenever life seemed especially unfair. "If you couldn't give us a good life, why did you have us?" It's a brutal soul crushing statement. Cheetos were still 25 cents when I asked this question btw. As a potential Mother I always ask myself, "Could I provide the Cheetos?" Your perspective is insightful. People need to ask the tough questions. Kids eventually grow up and you are to blame as a parent.
There has to be a relationship that has balance and compliments each other before facing life phases and having children plugs you into a crapshoot situation of laws and regulations where the parents do not control the education of their kids. Too many toxic relationships from original family too is a huge factor of influence too. Your joy can be robbed easily everyday into a terribly tough situation.
We all think we have more control over the events in our lives than we actually do. I really believe that if we are meant to have kids, we do, and it is not a function of personal choice most of the time. Under the right circumstances, there is enough societal and romantic pressure to have children. That’s why sex is so good; it evolved to be one of the most pleasant and ecstatic experiences in life to trick us into having children. That being said, all my life I would tell myself that I wanted children, only to realize that no woman wanted to have children with me. The real decision whether you have kids or not depends on the woman you are with. Men are just means to an end toward that goal.
Statistically only 40% of men reproduce (have biological children) and 60% don’t. So you may want or don’t but odds are against men in any case. Women on another hand are sitting at 80% so it comes down to selection of women not whether you want kids or not at large scale.
I am an extreme introvert (and I don't like it when people use the term extreme loosely). Quantitatively, I've scored 98-100% introversion consistently over time throughout life. Qualitatively: I have thought about putting up a sign on my shirt that says I'm mute (when I'm not) so that I don't have to do small talk. I don't need nor want an in real life friendship because I see them as unnecessary social obligation and I feel somewhat satisfied with online ones. The IRL ones that want to go out a lot and get me to do things with them are a baggage because they are tormentingly draining and I don't satisfy them due to needing a lot of time alone. Even the online ones drain, especially if they want to talk too frequently. I could go on forever on that, but you get the point. There are two things I don't relate to, though: 1. I may not sound like it, but I have high empathy. I can be systematic and rational, but I am also very emotionally intense within the confines of my paradigm. I've learned that emotions are also vital information, regardless of its perceived affect, and they have internal logic that's different from something purely concrete. This means that I will listen when someone really needs it. I try not to present logical solutions when someone is crying but maybe so when they're in a better head space if they ask. I try to understand someone from an emotional point of view as well, not just logical. Usually that happens when someone is in a rough spot or I am close enough with someone to check in with. 2. I do sometimes miss some people, just not very frequently. I just don't always feel like I'm in the right energetic space to socialize. There's nothing to add to this, I suppose. To me it's a sign that I care enough about some people or some memories to maintain relationships, but even then, it's very hard for me to maintain them as I get extremely drained. I don't "yearn to see people again" on the physical plane but I do sometimes yearn to text them once in a long while. I do relate to other things you said though.
@PSLegend999 I believe I agree even with the things you mentioned you don't relate to. Since making the video, I have discovered and been diagnosed as autistic, and have went through therapy (and continue to) and I have furthered my self understanding and realized it's not that I'm not empathetic or don't miss people, but rather that the way it manifests within me is just "different" from what is typical. The self-discovery process is continuous. All the best!
