Have you ever wondered how people that don't have kids have goals in their life? It's kind of weird I mean most societies base their worth on their families but then you see a bunch of celebrities and stuff that never have children. How do they get worth from their lives? It's just weird.

Well I don't plan to have a family or even marry for that matter. I mean it could happen I am only about to be 28. Lot of time left. I just rather not have that as I don't feel the need. Some people don't feel the need to have to base their worth on being able to pop out a couple kids. To some its an important aspect of their lives, to others its just not needed

For me life is just about living it and having a good time. That is how I base the worth of my life. Long as I had fun I am ok :)

I want kids, but if I never have them, I will do the same thing I do now. Live my life the way it is. You get certain cards, and you do what you can with them. No biggie.

Continue doing what I do today. Ceasing the ignorance and helping to teach those with less oppurtunities than myself. I am hoping one day everyone will know Han shot first.

They contribute to society (maybe not celebrities) in other, more important ways than just having kids. I plan on having kids, but if I didn't, I'd just live life anyways/contribute in other ways. Don't have to live a life that contributes much.

it depends on the person. some people can live perfectly happy, fulfilling lives without procreating.. i'll probably have them because i can see myself 30 years from now regretting not having them if i didn't. sure they'll probably suck for a while but get better and better with age :)

Not everyone wants to have kids, and honestly, not everyone should. I realize it's natural to want children and to carry on your family name or pass on your genes, but not everyone really wants to do that. You can live a fulfilled and enriched life without having children. I have absolutely no desire to have children, but I don't feel like I'm doomed or anything because of that. There are plenty of things I'd like to do.

My life would be fantastic without kids. Don't get me wrong I love kids, but think of all the money and stress you'd save.

Hopefully I can find a woman that shares the same sentiment...

No. I don't know. I have 0 desire for that. But I realize I am in the minority (which is good for the human race I suppose)

Well I don't plan to have a family or even marry for that matter. I mean it could happen I am only about to be 28. Lot of time left. I just rather not have that as I don't feel the need. Some people don't feel the need to have to base their worth on being able to pop out a couple kids. To some its an important aspect of their lives, to others its just not needed

For me life is just about living it and having a good time. That is how I base the worth of my life. Long as I had fun I am ok :)

How is it being selfish. I am living my life for my own enjoyment. If I don't want to have children woulden't it be selfish to bring them into the world if I never wanted them in the first place. Sounds like I would be a poor parent in that regard.

As if the world needs more children running around, being born simply for the sake of being born. Why have kids if you don't want to? Not everyone is interested in the family life, and that's fine. There are already too many people in this world to begin with. I don't see how it's selfish to not want to bring more people into this world. We've gotten to the point in time that it's really no longer necessary for the 'human race' for every single person to keep procreating. I think that all life is pointless anyway, regardless of whether you have kids or not. I don't believe in a universal purpose or meaning to life. If you want to have kids and attach that personal meaning to your own life, that's fine, but that's not necessarily everyone else's goal, and I don't see what's so wrong with that.

Lol, it's hard to take seriously any argument from someone who thinks that all life is pointless.
