Hi All!

I drift back and forth between wanting to procreate, and not for various reasons. I've settled on possible adoption when I get quite a bit older, though. Anyhow, welcome! I am glad you've successfully outran the debilitating insanity that surrounds the dominant collection of organized religion.

Not to sound conceited or anything, but I feel there are so many stupid people in the world that I am obligated to bring a child into this world to help balance it out.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Although I do have one beautiful son, I agree with this sentiment and won't be having any more. The earth can't support unlimited human growth and it is widely believed that at the current rate of procreation the earth will not be able to sustain us all in as little as 150 years. I think your choice is absolutely valid and applaud it.

Nice to meet you all. I work at night and thankfully our IT hasn't blocked this forum yet so it makes for great reading on a dull shift.
I get that my views on procreation aren't always popular. (Though it is nice to see some here are like minded!) I just figured it is a simple enough equation. The population is growing exponentially. The planet can support a finite amount of people. I feel like we are rapidly approaching that number and there is nothing so outstanding about my genes that I feel the need to pass on.
We are are part of nature, built from the same stuff as stars, planets, asteroids, and comets. Our protons and neutrons have been around since the earliest times, glued together into heavy elements of long dead ancient suns, blasted out into the universe and resculpted from diffuse interstellar dust clouds by the gentle hand of gravity. When the pattern of atoms known to be you ceases to be, the building blocks will return to the voids of space, and in a billion years or more, they may take their place in another structure so beautiful that a future mind may perceive it to be the work of a god. ~ Brian Cox

I think I missed this thread before, I do apologise.

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside? The f**king janitor or the dude who runs the waterslide. Throughout history every mystery. Ever solved has turned out to be. Not Magic. ― Tim Minchin, Storm |
