How many kids is too many?

[Symplify]

I'd be done by 2, damn.

Wow, what a shock, we're on a gaming forum and a large number of people said "One is too many." I would never have guessed that would happen. Way to avoid stereotyping yourself guys!

Anyway, avoiding arguments of overpopulation (which are wrong as the average family size in first world countries is now less then 2, which means as soon as the previous generations die the population will start to decrease) too many children is when your previous children start to suffer for it.

Please keep your patronising stereotypes to yourself; you have no idea about my life or my choices regarding children.

You remind me of the desperate hormone driven baby factories that church and society expect us to be.

Some people like myself are capable of deciding independently of peer accepted norms and free from preaching parents.

To dispel another of your potential misconceptions, I have no dislike for children; I just don't have a compulsive need to own one myself.

Wow, someone's a touchy moron aren't they?

I don't stereotype gamers, I just pointed out how funny it was that so many of you are conforming to them. A point you've just backed up doubly so with that rant.

I know full well stereotypes are foolish. But that doesn't mean it isn't funny when people conform to them.

But, as I said, it's funny when people conform to stereotypes, and your rant there was one of the best yet. I especially like the part where you said "Some people like myself are capable of deciding independently of peer accepted norms and free from preaching parents." because that's exactly what every forum nerd is meant to think of themselves, when they're actaully thinking exactly the same as all the other forum nerds.

Considering this is the only forum I visit and I am hardly a conformist, try reading some of my other posts. Maybe you?ll see that I am capable of independent thought.

I know this is a concept that you find difficult as pigeon holing seems to be theme you rant on about several times in your babblings.

That aside. You have proven yourself as someone so sanctimonious that you attempt to belittle people who exhibit free thought and independent decision making..
You?re obviously one of the sheeple who conform and don't even notice you are "fitting in"

Try thinking for yourself, you never know, you might even be capable.

For me 1 kid would be too many, but i spose it depends on the individual coz i just hate kids

 

[magnuslion]

2. im sick of baby farmers over populating the planet with their ill conceived spawn because they dont believe in birth control.

 

[Yumi_and_Erea]

Any more than 1 is already a lot in my mind but I suppose any more than 4 really is *too* much.

 

[dudeman0001]

1 would be too many for me

Would you be okay with .5?

 

[SulfuricDonut]

2 Is perfect, because your kids have the experience of having a sibling, without costs going to high.
There are 3 kids in my family and it is also pretty good, but I'd say 4 is the limit of sanity. Any more than that and it's over-doing it a little.
The families like on those crappy TV shows only have more kids because then the TV stations give them tons of money for each extra child.

 

[twistedshadows]

People can have as many kids as they want as long as each kid still gets attention and is cared for properly. Though if the older kids have to take care of the younger kids, there are probably too many. 1-3 seems fairly sane for most people.

If I ever bear children (which is doubtful), there will be only one.

 

[LogicNProportion]

20 is good.

I'm gonna name em Lion'El, and Rouboute, and Horus, and Rogal Dorn, and...

(40k fans may now commence laughter, others may sit on it)

But seriously, I believe in big families. 19 is a bit too much in my opnion, but I always like the idea of a large family. Not a matter of upbringing either, my sister despises children. Just personal taste.

I AM INVOLVED IN THIS.

I say four atmost in this day and age.
It's not like we need the people to work the field nor do we die as often as even 60 years ago.
I'm not for restraining people from having more then four children.
I'd rather have restrictions on religion and ideology being passed on to those children.
Most long lasting conflicts are being perpetuated by people who indoctrinate their children with their faith and ideology.

Are you doing this just to make me laugh? Because that's really good of you.

Anyway, on the off chance you aren't doing it deliberately, and you really have missed the point this completely, despite me practically spelling it out, I'll explain things further:
I don't believe in stereotypes.
Most gamers don't hate children, that's only a stereotype.
Most internet forum goers don't think that they're one of the only intelligent people with independent thought, that's only a stereotype.

What's funny is that, even though they're only stereotypes, you're conforming to them almost perfectly.

1 would be too many for me

Half a child would be interesting, but could get a bit messy

 

[Ham_authority95]

2 is enough.

After there are things called birth control and vasectomy that are perfect alternatives.

For me it would be none. Simply for financial and freedom reasons. its better for the environment anyway

EDIT: also a friend of mine said she wanted 7 kids and to adopt 3 more right after she gets married. (she isn't even out of college and her fiance is a private in the marine corps so you so why this won't work)

Lol... baby farmers.

Personally, I'm down with baby campers. Camping the spawn points would be pretty easy.

 

[zehydra]

> 9000 children

 

[c0ld3r]

1, until we bring the population down.

 

[sms_117b]

If your on income support, 1.

If you're under 18, 1.

Other than that I'd say 3 is the maximum really, more than that becomes really expensive unless there is about 5 years between each, by the time number 4 comes around number one is off!
