People are finally realizing that the current state of the world is abysmal for bringing a child into. My wife and I don't plan on kids anyway, but even if we did, there's no way in hell we could afford to within the next decade, not to mention how irresponsible it feels to introduce a new life to this fascist shithole.

I cannot believe my brother chose to have kids. There's no chance in hell I'd subject another human to this.

I would not even bring a dog into this world, let alone a human.

Adopt one? Absolutely. Intentionally breed for puppies? Hell no.
