Have kids if you want them, but realize as a man, they'll belong to you only for as long as their mother allows. The law allows her to rip them from you overnight. This is only one of many ways that the law gives her the leverage to use your own kids as pawns against you. If you're okay with this fact, and the possibility that you may one day have to shoulder all the parental responsibilities without having any parental priveleges, then go ahead.
I still haven't decided whether I want children or not. I surely don't want to have them in this country with an American woman. A man who has gone overseas (besides AU/UK) will know what I mean. That's right fellas, they don't all behave like this.
Whether or not you want to have kids in the US, one fact remains: Getting married as an American male, is one of the most foolish things you could ever do.
