I said shouldn’t , not don’t. I think you need to work on your comprehension. I don’t know why this has set you off so much, but I sincerely hope you get the help you need.
Explain how people not wanting kids “resolves itself”. Do you think they don’t have sex?
People who dislike kids and don’t want kids are less likely to have kids. I’m sorry but is there someone around you that usually helps you when you are talking to people?
People who don't want kids, won't have kids, and is a "problem that resolves itself"? Like because they don't have kids they won't "pass it down"?
It sounds like the same reasoning as "People being gay is a problem that resolves itself cuz they don't have sex." As if being gay is something that can only be "passed down".
Probably why the other person is getting upset, not sure if this is what you were trying to say or not.
So what if there was? Adding a backhanded jab that relies on treating special needs people like they’re less than capable of handling themselves and need someone else to do their talking as an insult is a real shitbag comment. If you want to resort to name calling don’t use the idea of special needs as making someone else lesser.
It’s also not an “issue”, as if avoiding parenthood is somehow a deviation from the norm or amoral choice. If OPs comment struck a nerve, call them out on the part of the comment that struck the nerve- their description of kids as disgusting. There’s no issue in not having kids and the choice to not make them is resolved when the people who don’t want them take personal responsibility and precautions to prevent it from happening.
$20 days they have at least one kid they didn’t want to / weren’t planning on having.
I’ll take your $20. Snipped at 23 because, as I’ve been pointing out, the responsibility of preventing unwanted children is on the potential parent who’s disinterest in reproducing is neither a disinterest in sex nor somehow prevents sex from occurring.
$20 to gurty
