I don't have any kids nor will I ever. There are too many in the world already. The love of my life has three and they're almost grown up now. She doesn't need anymore, only wants them if I want them - I don't want them, so we're all set. Call me selfish but I have too many things to do in the next 20 years to devote as much time and effort and love as is neccessary to raise children properly. Plus I like living in the United States and if I had a child I would never ever raise my child in the United States, so it would mean I would have to move.

She gives me purpose and is my inspiration.
I call it a cop-out. It's hard work just to have a kid, but it's life's purpose to propagate. It's our responsibility as adults to make our world a better place for our children. Why do you think I'm against violence? I don't want my daughter to grow up seeing as much as I did. And I want to raise her so that when she has my grandchildren she will have lived a better life than me, and will have done more to make the world a better place.
********** said:(1) I love living in the USA but I think it's one of the worst places on earth to raise children. I think the country inspires capitalist selfish thinking and implants it in its young. I think teens in America are twice as materialistic than anywhere else and a lot of them treat their parents like absolute shit, more than anywhere else. I think most of it is down to the media and culture, and down to schooling: Universities in America are awesome but high school in America can be hell - it's about cliques and learning that you have to be one of the boys/girls to belong (a bit like this whole thing about me not having kids)... I hate American schooling. I'm very glad I went to school in England. I'd raise my kids in Europe, and since I don't want to live in Europe anytime soon, it would be a huge sacrifice to have kids. I would feel like if I had them in America, America would be raising my kids and there would be nothing I could do about it other than holding on too tight, keeping them reigned in, and that only ever pushes children away.
