    If we don’t have children because we care for our planet, we leave the world to those who don’t care at all. Not sure if this is the right decision.

      Honestly, I haven’t thought of it like that. I guess that’s a decent point. But having more than 2 children, and you are part of the problem.

        My family had one kid. So we went from I believe seven grandparents and great aunts and uncles down to one child just within two generations!

        At this rate my family could depopulate the whole planet in no time.

        Also a friend of mine just told me that he met a lady who had 22 siblings so…

              I never said anyone shouldn’t have children.

              whose children are you proposing to teach to care for the planet?

                so you’ll adopt them and brainwash them into an ideology. it just doesn’t have a good ring.

                    if you’re not in favor of that, then i say “good”. you’ll forgive me for reading the room to say something else though.

                I never said anyone shouldn’t have children.

                you’re right, but the conversation was definitely about eugenics propaganda. if you’re not saying “don’t have children” then i really apologize, but the tone of the conversation seemed to be “don’t have kids. you can adopt instead!”
