And on that note, let's talk about pubic hair!

Instead, it all reminded Traister of the widely lauded anecdote from Tina Fey's Bossypants, where she recounts a tale of she and Amy Poehler being crass at SNL one day, and Jimmy Fallon joking that it wasn't cute, and he "didn't like it."

I honestly don't know, but my guess would be no. I mean, I know there are a lot of places where homosexual couples still cannot adopt children for whatever terrible, homophobic reason, so despite the fact that there are millions of children in our horrible foster system, a lot of people aren't given the opportunity to…

IDGAF !

I believe we're framing this all wrong. To appeal to Republicans, we should stop calling them "child refugees" and start referring to them as "post-term fetuses fleeing countries with insufficient abortion clinic laws and regulations."

This comment is full of "always", "ever again" and "anything", "entirely", and other words that secondary school taught me indicate a false or biased statement. Consider the way you're using language when you try to make arguments like this one. Your way of writing and lack of source material doesn't convey any reason…

Exactly. Childfree and happy about it for SO many reasons. Not everyone needs a child, they really don't. The world is crazy-populated. This is my story, said above:

'When I was in my twenties, I was never sure about having children. Oh, you'll get there, women would tell me knowingly, spilling details about the day…

Ha! Whenever we're out shopping and a screaming child goes past us my boyfriend turns to me and asks "Want kids?" with this devilish smile. Seriously, best birth control ever!

Both of our dogs were around $200 from the Humane Society. That covers shots, fixing, some of their boarding costs, etc.

My brother is 20 and is a horrible fucking human being. I can't even begin to explain but his role model is Dick Cheney and he thinks blurting out racist stuff is funny when it's racist and really unfunny and awkward. My parents humor him and it makes me wonder what went wrong in their brains to allow such a shit…

I completely understand, there is a certain allure to supplies you don't have to share and crayons that are as yet unsmelt. I wandered into the area because I have a big metal post in my cubical that I figured, hey, let's throw some magnetic shit on that bitch. But you know what was in the school supplies section? …

Yes. He claims he is still ambivalent, though sometimes I get the feeling he isn't. There's nothing I can do if he doesn't say it outright.

So many high fives for this. So many. I will actually go one darker step down the rabbit hole (because that's how I am) and say that as terrifying as it would be to have a child exist in the world and be vulnerable to all of the horrible things humans do to one another/to our planet, I also worry that my kid would BE…

I'll let you in on my birth control secret: Target during Back-to-School time. The whining, the crying, the screaming over motherfucking pencils... Shuts my junk down like Todd Akin thinks rape does.

Yeah, scarcity/environmental issues are a huge issue for me. I probably don't want kids for a lot of reasons, but the general fuckedupness of the world is definitely on the list. I hate to sound like a Debbie Downer, but I also feel that unless I am wealthy, that I don't feel ok about having a kid, given our rapidly…

I really love the beautiful, fractal, self-reflecting circularity of your comment offering. It's like an ode to shit, written in shit.

I have two kids and am constantly advising my childless friends NOT to have kids. This world is fucked up. Probably the same as it was always but more so I think. Do you have kids? Do you know what it feels like to always worry that one person can fuck up your kid for life? All it take is one person to molest your kid…

You can always adopt children. They've already been brought into this shitshow, and need a good home and loving parents. I say if you want kids and have lots of love to spare, adopt.

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.

Best thing to ever happen to me, EVER, (and I've had a pretty sweet life) was to have been adopted out of Foster care when I was 15 months old. Please do that when you are ready and able!
