Yes. I want to have a kid someday because I will have my seed planted and also because I'm curious as to what attributes the child would take from me. I'm thinking of having two at the most.

I think I would if I found the right woman to make them with and had a more stable future than how it appears it will be. Keep on the family name, pass on my knowledge, etc.
But this all depends on a great deal of variables and I like to think that I'm too young right now to be caught up in them. |

Sometimes. There are also plenty of people who raise their children selfishly, in total instability, in neglect, in abuse, and worse. Some people grow up because they have kids, but it's usually a much better plan to grow up first. I have a son due in March actually. I'm looking forward to it, and it was planned. I wouldn't agree to it until I had a decent job and owned a home. That meant putting it off for many years, but my wife and I are ready now. I look forward to hauling the baby to the radio station every Saturday to do my show. I'm pretty certain we're only going to have one, because I think that if every two breeders had one child rather than more the world wouldn't be so deathly over-populated. Plus, I was an only child and liked it. I used to work in a place with some blocks out for the kids to play with and the ones by themselves always created really interesting stuff, while the ones with siblings always fought over the blocks. |

Thank you for writing some of that (in response to Julian's remark) so that I didn't have to try to articulate a similar idea. Quote:
When I think of the possibility of adoption, it always involves me as a single person. I never really even consider the possibility of finding a man who would also prefer to adopt, because it seems that is extremely rare. I don't know why it's so rare, but mostly I don't think they understand why a woman would want to adopt, and so they go about assuming that whatever woman they end up with will want to have children, no questions asked. But mostly it's like this: If I do someday have a long-term partner, the way I see it now is that I would not want a kid in that situation. Because I'm selfish, and I would not like compromising the life I have with my partner just to raise a child. I don't even like kids (well not being around them constantly at least), so I don't know why I'm writing this.

i dont know what people have answered here but yes. at this point in my life finally, yes. i think i can spew forth my seed and not raise some kind of fuckups. actually it should be fun. we're currently practicing with a cat; a small ape should multiply the fun. plus i have these cool as shit nephews. oh yes, i'm spawning.

are you people talking about adopting non-caucasian unamerican non-babies? because white american babies aren't exactly easy to come by. you gotta wait a long time......and pay a lot of fucking money. if you are talking about non-caucasian unamerican non-babies... then that's really fantastic and amazing.

there are just so many americans who want healthy white infants... that it's not really a matter of helping in that case. now adopting a non-caucasion (for lack of a better term) 5 year old... probably a different story.
3 of my 4 siblings were adopted at birth. |

Not really no, I don't exactly trust myself with children. I have a short temper. Maybe someday that will change and I'll shoot out a billion of them but for the time being, I say nooo. The world is turning into a giant hell hole anyways.

that's very admirable! but probably a lot more difficult than not dropping a baby. lot of emotional issues to deal with and stuff. |

I would adopt maybe a 3-5 year old, but as I stated as more days go by I don't think I want a child.

Frankly, though I love my kids, I think most young couples these days who are having babies are terribly short-sighted (I'll stop short of "selfish") and aren't thinking about long-term effects on the global environment, natural resources, and so on.

No, I do not want kids in any shape or size or to any degree. Bringing a child into this shitty world? No thanks. I don't even really like kids very much and I wouldn't be qualified enough as a father to shield them from all the bullshit that they'd inevitably be forced to deal with. After all the shit I had to go through growing up -- I mean, I had the most loving mom and grandparents in the world, but that didn't stop me from, at some point, being abused... I mean, how the fuck could I deal with my child being put through hell? I couldn't. I can't fight all their battles, I can't hide them from the injustices of the world -- as much as I'd love to, it'd be impossible. So, fuck it. I'm not going to create something beautiful that will be corrupted by this wasteland. And I also wish I hadn't been born either.
