You know I love kids, I work with kids and I kinda would like to have lots of kids but there are strong stats that say that not having kids may be much better for the world.

I do definately like my genes for passing on, me and my brothers were effortlessly *A* students in school as well as excellent athletes without needing to exercise so it is very tempting to have many kids to spread my genes.

Recently in a casual discussion but I stumbled upon an idea I hope my future girlfriend/wife would be in on:
1 child from my own seed then 1 or 2 adopted kids from Africa or China or somewhere. (was that mentioned before, didn't read all 4 pages)

That is what I would like to do for sure!

pls don't get me wrong , i really like kids but i am afraid of them :shock:

they are so sweet and everytime i see them i think wow it would be nice to have kids and then i say to myself why not also get a gun and shoot myself in the head while i am at it :idea:

i mean i like kids but still no way i can take up such a huge responsibility ? infact i am not gonna procreate ever , no marriage too since responsibility is not my cup of tea

also i like sleeping alone and i've noticed whenever i am in a relationship i have to share my bed with her , i cannot really tolerate being around human beings much more than 8 hours everyday , somedays i don't wanna see anybody ,

solitude really makes me happy as i can then talk to myself , when i am alone there are these wonderful revelations and sometimes funny jokes that keep popping into my head and i feel really good , furthermore being alone also gives me time to collect and understand more knowledge and do much more work then i am able to do around human beings as they keep asking for attention

thus no kids - no procreation - no relationships - and possibly no sex as soon i am able to surpass the need for it , hopefully in 20 years

KIDS ROCK!

What an awesome experience! I have raised 4 boys.

I have a 26 year old son who is a sargeant in the army and who has done two tours in afganistan.

I have a 22 year old son who has been takinging yoga for 7 years and and teaching for the last year. He is currently traveling the upper Amazon, searching for the truth.

I have a 21 year old son who works at a large bakery, hes is a Teamster.

I have a 14 year old son who is a freshman in highschool plasy football and is a member of Future Farmers of America/4H

4 sons four completely different paths in life.

There have been some rocky times for sure. The experience is so cool.

Raising kids rocks.

My DNA my genes move on and adapt. I live on. How I live on depends on how well I raise them.
It requies selfless love.

I wish that everyonewith kids wasas food ofa parent as you,

Kids are not for everyone,, but some people are clearly meantto have kide.

Thanks for raising a good family...the future thanks you even more!
