Why would anyone want to bring children into this world, with the cost of living so high and so many pedophiles running around?

because the VAST VAST VAST majority of people are not pedophiles. parents can work very hard to all but insure their children are not vulnerable to pedos

cost of living is high. but i earn enough to provide a life

if we want to change the world for the better, parents need to raise great children who can become future leaders. children who will grow up to be honorable adults who respect the rights, privacy and freedoms of their fellow humans

Can't be worse than a Sea Turtle chances of Survival, without Children there is no Future.

Remember Bender and his Turtle 🐢 lol that episode about wasn't it the garbage 🗑️ comet on Futurama?

[Berethor]

Why you not put a link to the video? not everyone watched Futurama, I know I didn't.

[NicholasofAustralia]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wy3U73KQ254 the point of the episode was that Bender thinks he is as helpless as turtle 🐢 who can't get back up. When in fact, even the turtle, can get back up again. Silly goose bender robot 🤖💪

People who still want to bring children into such a world are selfish. The greatest legacy I can leave my children is that they will never exist.

[NicholasofAustralia]

@loveyouoak this is likely also something that's happened even during the "hippy 60s era" - where not everyone desired to by middle age "have a wife and 3 kids" - crikey 😅🐊

I had 3 kids. They all went to college and majored in something good/ All have good jobs and have bought their own homes. It is possible to raise successful kids in America. Just takes some common sense

[Asker]

What about the pedophiles running around?

[exitseven]

my kids never knew any.

[NicholasofAustralia]

@exitseven for comedic effect "way to rub your wealth in our faces, man" - hahahahaha nah I joke I joke. Lucky you all for prospering so well financially - clearly the Lord must be favouring y'all 🙃🤭

[AviatorTom]

@exitseven My situation is identical to yours. 3 kids, doing well.

[exitseven]

@NicholasofAustralia My wife and I worked hard all our lives and that is why we were successful. There were bumps in the road along the way but instead of whining about it, we figured out a way to get around it. I make no apologies for it.

[exitseven]

@AviatorTom The plan worked👌👌👌

[888theGreat]

Well , I can't say you are wrong. It is a dangerous world now. I would say 50/50 chance a girl would be raped and soon 50/50 chance boy will be murdered. Things are getting worse not better. Soon , each generation will make less and live worse than previous generation. Lack of morals and the denial of God. The bible predicts this will happen.

I guess some people just still want to start a family and have the whole traditional white picket fence, big house, big yards, etc.

Personally 🏠 im finding it enough just to make it on my own 🥳😅

[Opinion Owner]

And I don't even still have a large student loan debt from the past decade 😅😅 I don't know how people are even managing to buy or afford properties / weddings / hell even managing to support *a wife and 1 kid even* - hell 👀

The world has always had issues. Not everyone is a paranoid pussy.

[msc545]

I love children and they are a joy to be around. That's why.

[NicholasofAustralia]

@msc545 you won't love then the cruise ship commercial I really respect the years post Covid "no kids, no casinos" - it's some big name cruise line. That commercial is very catchy. No gambling, no brats holding up the lines for buffers or water slides" - just adults partying like the party animals adults are - adults only 🥳🎉

[NicholasofAustralia]

And no gambling 😅🤭 the midnight oil away lol - maybe they should add "no bars, no kids, no casinos" - on board ship 🚢 I'd respect that. I don't drink - hell @msc545 your handle even sounds like a cruise liner 🤭

[msc545]

@NicholasofAustralia oh, I guess I'm busted. Please don't tell anybody, but I actually am a cruise liner. Not a very big one, but a fun one.

If good people don't reproduce and have good children, then only evil people will be reproducing.

[Kingofkings1992]

Definitely agree with the first sentiment, not too worried about pedos. I'd just kill them if they ever violated my child.

[Agape93]

I dunno.

[Asker]

Then why bother putting your opinion down? You just want xper points or what?

[Agape93]

No. You asked, and my answer is I don't know why they do.
