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.
Except a declining birth rate =/ not choosing to have kids
FALSE PREMISE!

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.
You just have shitty taste in friends.
My experience has been just the opposite.

You get miffed and intentionally accuse people of things you know to be false.

You're really trying to take the high road after falsely accusing me of saying something you know I didn't say? Which preceded me asking you if you were stupid, FYI.

Because there is a generation of people who grew up during, what we now call, a more "traditional" life. Having a kid out of wedlock isn't as looked down upon as it was when I was in HS. It is still looked down upon, but its more of a "norm" today.
People will say that our main purpose is to breed, but I think we have evolved past that.. We have over 6 billion people in the world and that number is only growing, so its cool of some people decide not to have kids.

Because that's why we are here. To procreate.
What about the homosexuals and tranny's? Why do they get a pass? Plus, there are plenty of people making up for the ones not having any.

Sort of disagree - if you can have two incomes under one roof, wouldn't that be better? You'd just have to find a woman that also doesn't want children
This. Dual income without kids is the way to live.

I think the primary time this happens justifiably is when they act like their pets are children. Like when you're at the water cooler talking about being up at 3am because your kid was vomiting with a fever and they're like "yeah, Ruffy had a bad case of ringworm last month and I had to bring him to the vet." Or the endless pictures on FB.
Other than that it's jealousy.

Maybe some of us just aren't fit to raise a child. There are plenty of those people with children already. There are children with children. shite just look around South la.

I only envy those without kids at about 7:05 every Saturday and Sunday morning...or when they just drink or watch movies or play video games all night without a care in the world...or when they go on super cool adult like vacations...or when they talk about how easy it is get chicks nowadays w/Tinder.
What do they know anyway!!!

I've had a couple of instances of people on my FB feed with statuses about how having a puppy and dealing with that is just like having a newborn. Must...not...click...comment.
I have dogs, and the crazy "dogs are my children" people freak me out.

The sad truth is that middle and upper class couples that choose not to procreate only accelerate the slide of our country becoming entitlement queens.
The average birth rate for a household making under $10k a year is 1.5 times that of a house hold making $100k+.
The problem? The poor are outbreeding the revenue producers. This causes an exponential increase when their kids (still in poverty) eventually create more kids that will grow into poverty.

The Christmas cards with their pets are the best. Usually has Ruffy in a sweater or bow.

because we are morons for not getting in on the child racket
these jerkoffs pay less in taxes, get massive tax breaks, and then get huge checks back. It's fricking amazing the racket, having a child is when it comes to tax breaks

Yeah, right. Stack that up against the sunk costs of having kids. Medical bills, groceries, insurance, schooling, etc. Those tax breaks aren't scratching the surface brah.
