Shovel, Look at the big picture.There are countries that have mothers have 8-12 kids . Why do they do that? It is in part to guarantee that when they are old and can not work that someone will take them in so that they will not die on the street. So you don't breed, your loss. What if your parents had that attitude, where would you be, in some used condom.

I have no kids (deliberately), so no diapers, no tv in the kids' room, no transportation to/from school, no extra food or clothes for kids, no school books, and no future cars or houses or sequelae of my kids' kids etc.
