/r/childfree would welcome you.

[–]IlllllInon presser 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (42子コメント)

that sub is just full of folks who want to brag about their decisions

[–]googlygoink37s 12 ポイント13 ポイント  (41子コメント)

no it isn't, it's like a support group in a society so baby oriented that people often say things like 'you've never really lived until you've had children' etc.

It's a place to vent and rant about being bingoed without having to do it to their face because it would be offensive, even though what they said you found offensive.

And what if they're bragging about their choice, if there's something to brag about it's clearly the right choice for them.

Life is "baby oriented." The only reason you exist is because your parents decided to have a baby.

I'll never waste my time going into that sub because of how stupid it is. If you want to refrain from having kids, that's fine, but leave the rest of the natural world alone for doing it.

You don't have kids. We get it. Nobody cares.

[–]Squeejee09non presser 16 ポイント17 ポイント  (8子コメント)

You could say virtually the same thing about any subreddit. You like video games, we ge it, no one cares. You watch movies, we get it, no one cares. You have a button, we get it, no one cares.

The subreddit exists because obviously some people do care.

[–]CatTheCat60s 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (2子コメント)

You're changing the subject to something that doesn't matter. Not caring about a subreddit has zero impact on anything in life. If nobody cared about having kids there literally wouldn't be any more life.

[–]Magmar7160s 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

But the point of the sub isn't to convert everyone to the idea of not having kids. No one is saying EVERYONE should stop having kids. It's so people who agree that children just aren't for them can get together and talk.

[–]Squeejee09non presser 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I wasn't changing the subject, I was pointing out through example how poorly thought out the argument was.

Take yours for example. You can't judge a minority opinion based on the hypothetical implications of everyone in the world suddenly holding that view.

[–]AnimusNoctis18s 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (1子コメント)

They are leaving the rest of the world alone. The rest of the world won't leave them alone.

[–]IlllllInon presser 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

...except that they feel the need to validate themselves in a ridiculous circle-jerk of self-importance. I know my experiences aren't representative of the rest of the world and that a lot of people DO feel pressure from family and friends, but I've literally never had people put that kind of pressure on me nor have I EVER asked someone the question "when are you going to have kids?" My girlfriend and I have lots of married couple friends and unmarried couple friends and single friends. I can't remember the last time in my network that I ever considered ours a "child-centric" society, and that sub is out to prove it's the last word.

[–]5taplernon presser 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (7子コメント)

You don't have kids. We get it. Nobody cares.

Obviously some people cares as this sub exists and is active... You have every right not to go to that sub, nobody is forcing you to, but to claim "it's stupid" just because you do not share their beliefs is ridiculously childish on your part.

leave the rest of the natural world alone for doing it.

That's exactly what they are doing in their own subreddit, you moron.

[–]MarlonBainnon presser 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (11子コメント)

So don't go to the subreddit. Can you maybe explain why your disagreement with these people should mean that they can't even talk to each other in a subreddit?

[–]awesomesonofabitchnon presser 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (10子コメント)

Sorry homie, didn't realize I broke the interwebs law that I now have to answer to the Internet Police for.

I didn't say that they couldn't talk, as you implied, I merely told them that nobody cares about their ironically childish opinion on children.

Any time someone talks about being child-free, they're just doing it as a pissing contest for how great they are and their life is for lacking children. I don't know a single parent who could give two shits about child-free folks, myself included, and it's annoying to see them spout off and talk about something that they have zero knowledge and experience on.

Say you were a mechanic, and you had some asshat strut in, telling you that they will never be a mechanic because of X, Y, and Z. They have zero experience, they're just building an opinion of you based on what they either see in society, or what they think they know. Are you going to be happy about it? The same thing applies here.

The list of stupid things I've heard from child-free folks is just incredulous. I still get to travel. I still get to go out with my SO and have fun, and I still get to do everything else I did before I was a parent. The difference is that I now get to share my life with positively amazing little humans that cannot be possibly be made up for in any other way in the entire universe. Period.

[–]IlllllInon presser 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't have kids nor give one single shit about other people's plans for kids, and I support this message.

[–]lovelylady227can't press 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (5子コメント)

As a parent: Well said.

[–]awesomesonofabitchnon presser 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (4子コメント)

Thank you!

Having children isn't a prison sentence. I don't like when people act like it is.

[–]lovelylady227can't press 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Neither do i. My kids add a lot more to my life than they took.

[–]IlllllInon presser 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Hearing y'all talk about it in this way is only good encouragement for the future. Thanks.

[–]ZombieFish15non presser 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Having a child is also not the end all be all greatest thing you can do with your life. I dont like when people act like it is. Not everybody has to have children to be happy.

[–]awesomesonofabitchnon presser 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Oh sorry, did I say or imply that anywhere?

Nope.

But thanks for coming out.

[–]Magmar7160s 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Say you were a mechanic, and you had some asshat strut in, telling you that they will never be a mechanic because of X, Y, and Z.

I'd say "Okay", because honestly it doesn't even matter to me. I'd want to be a mechanic and thus I became a mechanic, same could be said about you becoming a parent. Just because someone doesn't want children and happens to mention it, doesn't mean they are awful people with stupid ideas. Children just aren't for everyone.

[–]awesomesonofabitchnon presser -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I never said that they were.

I leave child-free people alone when they aren't waving their child-free dicks in other people's faces. I do the same for any other opinion/belief system.

[–]kingatomicnon presser 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

As with everything else, it's the extremists who ruin it for all.

If someone doesn't want kids, fine -- that's their decision to make and not mine, and I don't judge.

If someone doesn't want kids and wants everyone to know that, and then wants to make that their defining quality for everyone to see, and then disparages other adults for making a different choice -- that I do not agree with.

[–]ZombieFish15non presser 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Kind of like, you have kids, we get it. nobody cares about your endless facebook post whoring them out for likes

[–]IlllllInon presser 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

That's sort of a verbal fallacy. Every kind of fb post inherently stems from a narcissistic desire for attention from family and friends, not just the ones about kids.

[–]awesomesonofabitchnon presser -2 ポイント-1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's almost like you have no idea who I am.

Oh wait. That's right. You don't even know if I am on facebook.

I'll never waste my time going into that sub because of how stupid it is

A fantastic opinion, and one you're just as welcome to as they are to go somewhere and rant. It doesn't bother you in your life, and indeed, your response here is more involvement than you ever had to have with it - if you don't care, so much, then why do you seem so upset by it, going so far as to call something you simply aren't interested in "stupid".

NOT TO MENTION:

Life is "baby oriented."

What is this even supposed to mean? Are you saying we should have children because we were born? What kind of sense do you even think that contains? Obviously we only exist because we were born, but for one, don't presume that it was because any parents "decided", and more importantly, don't fall prey to the misguided and illogical (literally logically invalid) idea that because we were born, we must procreate.

The real issue is that people put upon others the social construction of "have a child, or you're not a successful human" concept; you can become relegated to a genuinely sub-human status in which your opinions are not as important - for instance, not being allowed time off requests at work because you don't have a family, but others do, as if your life and your decisions are any less important. Here's something enlightening for you about "baby oriented", perhaps.

Nobody cares.

AROUND HALF OF ALL PEOPLE NEVER REPRODUCE.

Baby oriented? Necessary for life, but not necessary for meaning, only sufficient.

[–]awesomesonofabitchnon presser -2 ポイント-1 ポイント  (4子コメント)

Somebody is a little bit touchy about having babies, eh?

Don't prance around with your "facts" and not provide a single source. When I hear the word "social construct" I can do nothing but totally discredit everything you have to say.

If nobody has babies, how does the human race continue? It is necessary for life, you even admitted this. So why can't the people who choose to have babies be happy/proud/whatever they want about their own decision to have babies? Y'know, the same happy/proud/whatever that child-free people have?

Oh, wait. That's right. "Breeders" are just these sub-human scum that're procreating and filling up the Earth for "sufficiency."

Get off your fucking high horse and take a pill, man. You sound like a teenager. (Hopefully you are one, as any adult with your intelligence is borderline scary.)

[–]5taplernon presser 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

If nobody has babies, how does the human race continue?

Learn to read you inbred fuck. Absolutely nobody said "nobody has babies".

It is necessary for life, you even admitted this.

It's necessary to Life, not necessary to one's already existing life. There is already enough people on Earth, you are really not doing anything "worthwhile" when having babies.

So why can't the people who choose to have babies be happy/proud/whatever they want about their own decision to have babies?

Parents talk about how happy/proud/whatever all the fucking time. It's literally impossible to do something with a parent without them talking about them. Yet childfree people are annoying you because they talk about their choice in a subreddit you are not forced to go?

God you are one stupid person.
