In today’s legal environment, what is the point of marriage if you are not going to raise children?

The so-called benefits of marriage do not offset the costs for the man and thus there’s no reason to enter into the contract.

Oh well, can’t fix stupid.

I think that was traditionally the point for most of human history. Marriage was about joining families and creating a new one. The idea of marrying for romantic love and happiness is fairly new

Back then kids were free labor that you only had to provide clothes, food, and shelter for. Kids then = economic gain. Our modern society and government has made child rearing a very expensive endeavor in this world.

These women are going to be fricking miserable when they realize this:



And no guy is going to help them out because they’re old and selfish. Enjoy the cats and chocolate ice cream because that’s as good as its gonna get.

That’s not just a women thing. I love my kids to death but yeah, I get some people not wanting kids because they’re expensive. It’s fricking criminal how expensive child care is

Maybe they should vote for the candidate who is better on the economy and can give them the ability to afford children in the future. Nope, they’ll vote for the Kill the Babies candidate instead.

You want more kids?


Make married men and women with kids totally exempt from income taxes until the last kid is 18.

Wonder how much of that is attributable to the government’s involvement?

If it prevents same sex couples from obtaining children, I am all for this.

That’s all you have to do now. I mean you could’ve paid for expensive education and toys back then too.

I wish I could just go kill dirty and loud people that annoy me like women can.

If they know they don't want kids, why not get their tubes tied? I'd even be ok with the government paying for that to prevent abortions.

Yep.

Guilty

Kids are overrated. I am reminded of this every time I go home and my sister has to change my nephew’s diaper or go home early because he keeps crying, or he’s screaming at a pitch that’s intolerable to humans but people think it’s cute… etc

A lot of people just aren’t cut out to have kids. Instead of having them and regretting them or getting pregnant and getting an abortion, they’re choosing to do the smart thing.
