A nice thing to leave behind for future generations when you are gone would be a livable planet.

NOPE. Life is nice when you have it. But I have to die. That is going to suck. You cant say that never being would suck. Because never being, does not hurt. I was not took from one place and placed here. I was made here and will die here. so no.

Especially when those of us who don't want kids are branded as "selfish". You want a child because it's the only kind of immortality you can imagine but you think I'm selfish?

I agree, because I feel like this a lot of the time.

Of all the arguments people have thrown at me to try to convince me to have kids, this is by far the worst. Kids aren't extensions of their parents; they are people, individuals who are going to leave their own mark on the world. They shouldn't be brought into the world to serve as a living shrine to the people that…

I've always wanted to have kids, but now I'm starting to have serious doubts. It has less to with what's going on in the news now and more to do with what he world will be like due to global warming.

That's a whole lotta narcissism, don't you think?

OK, I'm usually driving the horses on the "Jezebel is bad at reporting science" bandwagon. But, c'mon..... can't we just make some fart jokes and laugh FOR ONCE??

Before everyone goes down the rabbit hole of the best Youtube site ever please take a second and donate or make a note to donate when you have a few spare dollars. They can always use the money. Think of it this way it's like you're paying them just a little bit for the enjoyment and education of these videos. Also,…

I give you a star for the World of Warcraft card. plus, Druids are smexy.

I wanted a Totoro:

Actually to them we are scary monsters that they attempt to avoid 99.9% of the time. There have only been 16 fatalities since 1970 in the US. Hardly killing machines.

My tiny 4 lb kitten just whacked the cougar on screen with his paw. He has no idea what he is up against.

Also, please don't hunt them for fun, while smiling proudly. That's not cool either.

YES! My six year old daughter knows I want to hug big cats sooo baaad. Tigers, cougars, lions, I'm not picky. She just sighs and tells me I can't because they'll claw me and bite me, and I'll bleed, and maybe die. She is the small-child equivalent of your parents. It's great that she is looking out for me and all, but…

Agree agree agree. God they're cute but damn, every once in a while my 15lb housemate decides that he wants to take a strip or two off me.

That's a chance you only get once with a 150 pounder.

The cliche is that little girls all want a pony, but I wanted a big cat. A tiger, or a lion or whatever, I wanted one SO BAD. To sleep in my bed, all giant paws and purring and huge. I would love it and take care of it and we'd be bffs for life. Sigh. My parents were so mean and never got me one.

Addendum - now that I've read the article - that's the sanctuary where I used to volunteer and Glory Glory lived! (sadly she was born with a kidney disease and passed away some years ago)

OMG YES I DID KNOW THAT! (Haven't read the article yet- just the title and got excited) because I used to work at a refuge where the bestest ever cougar named Glory would hide in the bushes then jump out and make that ADORABLE noise while I rubbed her belly!!! She was the best and this article (which I'll now read)…

I love you, Lindy, and those animals are beautiful but but I didn't hear anything but danger scary run away sounds.
