Is choosing to have a child a selfish act in the modern world?

Baloney. The urge to have sex, yes. Humans are not animals with instinctual needs to procreate.

At this point in time it is completely selfish to have kids. For starters, the world is severely over populated and how we went this long without going into a worldwide depression is beyond me. Another thing is that the youth are the ones that will have to try and make amends and pay off the insane amount of debt that all of these 40 year old+ politicians have piled on us. Imagine twenty years from now when there are literally twice as many politicians than there are now, do you think they'll make a better world? Not to mention our youth literally has never been as dumb as it is now. I graduated high school a little over a month ago, I've seen it first hand. My good friend graduated with honors a few years ago and he's dumb as rocks and I have to constantly correct him on everything even though I barely managed to graduate. Bringing kids into this American education system is the worst thing you can do because it's only going to pile on the consistent downgrading of society. I can't speak for other countries because I've never left the U.S. and therefore have no personal experience to speak from.

1) Who would want that for their children honestly? I don't want kids because of the world is currently, not the constant "doom" nonsense. We live in a world where we accept homosexuality, gender bending, and where rape and murder is daily news that we laugh at. Why would I want to introduce a innocent soul to this cesspool of a world?

2) With my family I could raise a child and keep him semi-unfucked up. The question is would he CHOOSE not to go down that path once he is free.

3) Not impossible but its a challenge my parents never had to worry about when I was kid. I would raise him in the Christian faith, so he will have all the knowledge needed to protect himself from this problem, and I wont mask my thoughts on the matter. I wont tell him its ok that Billy has two daddies, or that Sussie was really born a man inside because society thinks its ok and natural. I would tell him I don't care if two men get "married" but I will tell him its not REAL marriage in God's eye nor is it a Godly union.

4) Not good enough...we're in a uncertain part of history and I think its irresponsible to bring a child into this world. Did you know in Greece they're abandoning their children and some parents are killing their children because they can't feed them and its less painful than starving to death. Don't think this can't happen in your country because it can happen anywhere and to anyone.
