Well, they're in a small minority, so that's dumb.
I can think things that 99% of the population may do as being weird.

But, nobody cares about the meaning of words anymore anyway

Not eating, suicide, and not having kids effect zero people but ourselves.
Yea, that isn't close to being true. The only thing that could apply to is eating.

Well, the weird ones are people who dont want to have kids....
Don't you think people who just "count the rings" are weird? They're certainly the majority.

Your reading comprehension is atrocious. Are you dumb?

Words have actual meanings

They all involve our two biggest instincts as animals. Survive and multiply.

Not eating, suicide, and not having kids effect zero people but ourselves. So why is it that any of those give people unnatural/angry feelings?

If the question is "do you think unpleasant people are unpleasant without generally looking down on them as inferior?" the answer is yes.

I don't have a problem with people not having children, but speaking for my parents, I can't imagine their life at this point would be nearly as fulfilling without us and their grandchildren. They are mid 60's.

It isnt a question. Having kids and procreating is needed for the survival of humans.
Therefore, we as a whole, will look down upon choosing not to do so.
I am not sure how that is controversial or confusing.....

False premise. In fact it's apparently the in thing to do for Caucasians; you need only look at what's going on in Europe and the U.S. in terms of birthrate comparisons between Caucasians vs minorities.

At one point, kids were useful. Things have changed.

Have you ever been around a married couple in their 40's that chose to not have kids? Selfish, narcissistic, immature, boring, never wrong, etc. Just terrible people all around.

oh they're still useful. Just may not be worth the investment. I wish I'd had one or two when I had surgery and couldn't do yard work for six weeks. But I can hire that shite out cheaper than paying for a kid from 0-18YO.

Not always, but most of the time.
