  it’s an issue that resolves itself.

  Explain how people not wanting kids “resolves itself”. Do you think they don’t have sex?

    People who dislike kids and don’t want kids are less likely to have kids. I’m sorry but is there someone around you that usually helps you when you are talking to people?

      I’m sorry but is there someone around you that usually helps you when you are talking to people?

      So what if there was? Adding a backhanded jab that relies on treating special needs people like they’re less than capable of handling themselves and need someone else to do their talking as an insult is a real shitbag comment. If you want to resort to name calling don’t use the idea of special needs as making someone else lesser.

      It’s also not an “issue”, as if avoiding parenthood is somehow a deviation from the norm or amoral choice. If OPs comment struck a nerve, call them out on the part of the comment that struck the nerve- their description of kids as disgusting. There’s no issue in not having kids and the choice to not make them is resolved when the people who don’t want them take personal responsibility and precautions to prevent it from happening.

        Why is needing extra assistance classed as a backhand jab to you? I have a family member who has someone help with forms and phonecalls and I have personally had to interject with their online activity, its more common than you think. Why do you class that as derogatory?

      People who don’t want kids, won’t have kids, and is a “problem that resolves itself”? Like because they don’t have kids they won’t “pass it down”?

      It sounds like the same reasoning as “People being gay is a problem that resolves itself cuz they don’t have sex.” As if being gay is something that can only be “passed down”.

      Probably why the other person is getting upset, not sure if this is what you were trying to say or not.

        Because they don’t want kids, genuinely dislike kids, wouldn’t be great with the kids, and as a result likely won’t have kids… so they won’t ever have to endure the horrors they are describing. I have no idea what is being misinterpreted. I’ve shared this comment chain around and people are sure that the person commenting is mentally ill.

  $20 days they have at least one kid they didn’t want to / weren’t planning on having.

    I’ll take your $20. Snipped at 23 because, as I’ve been pointing out, the responsibility of preventing unwanted children is on the potential parent who’s disinterest in reproducing is neither a disinterest in sex nor somehow prevents sex from occurring.

      $20 to gurty

        Gurty resorted to insults that required disparaging special needs and you won’t honor a bet because you lost. You two deserve one another.
