chrisp65 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 My two little cherubs have brought nothing but joy and hope to the world. They put a sense of the wonder of nature in to people. The miracle of life. They have given and given and given. Everyone they have touched, everyone that has met them has been made a little happier and a little more enriched by the experience. Anyway, that's what I call my testicles, what do you call yours? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despise reddit, but was trying to show how widespread of a sentiment not wanting children is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Fair enough, though a quick read suggests that a lot of them are a bit smug and annoying about their decisions (it is reddit, after all) and I generally dislike that (from people who have kids or don't have kids) because it suggests a right or wrong way to go through life when it comes to having children. There isn't. Do what you want, I don't care and nobody should. Someone not having kids is not a comment on someone having kids and vice versa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 They have a bunch of childish names for people who marry and have kids too, it's weird. I'm sure there are plenty of less annoying people who keep their dislike of having children to themselves though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Agree with CED entirely, just because somebody isn't mature enough to be a real adult, or can't get a woman or doesn't have fully functioning genitalia is no reason to single them out for ridicule as an inferior manchild, some sort of half complete failure, content to sit at home, often it's actually mommies home, probably on a bed with a super hero themed duvet cover, playing computer games and looking at porn. It's not easy to be a real man these days. Cut them some slack. Often times they have other redeeming features. They may be very good at i.t., or know the entire train timetable for Bristol without having to look it up. I have friends that don't have their own kids, often times they are very, artsy. I know our local amateur dramatics society would be under tremendous strain to find male leads in many a musical production if it weren't for these types. It's just not our place to judge or punish, that's for God. That's my little rule anyway. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minor point but I prefer the term 'kidult' to manchild when having my lack of a spawn criticised thank you very much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Is he the one from space that doesn't understand where underpants go in relation to trousers? Or the posh one that lives in a cave that doesn't understand how to wear underpants? I've missed out on a lot of this stuff. I was putting up a shelf. A solid straight shelf. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initially just go to its front page and click through the links that interest you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 It can be a great repository of information. Just about anything you can think of has a subreddit. But the people on it are for the most part horrible. And unfunny. Like, there is a borderline racist undercurrent on there but it's their sense of humour that is the most offensive.

Keyblade Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 That too. Every comment is like it's own thread. No real cohesive discussion, just an echochamber sprinkled with repetitive, unfunny jokes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
