I don't deny people these things, but I also do not understand why they do them. It's certainly more understandable from my perspective to have children than it is to go to a nightclub or to have a dog, as there is a possibility of that investment paying off at some point. I don't believe people are bags of flesh... but humans are bags of flesh that hold a personality inside of them
That is an interesting point though (hardships lived through produces hardier humans). I don't believe this has to come from ones living conditions, but at present I can think of no other way that this is implemented into at least US society.
If everyone held my beliefs regarding having children, we would indeed go extinct ^_^ Luckily, fools who have children are aplenty and unlikely to run out by the time i die.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
