Still generates ratios. Admittedly the larger and therefore more accurate sample will be male, although I would suspect gamers may be biased, so it isn't necessarily accurate anyway.OmniscientOstrich said:

I like kids and they seem to get on with me pretty well, probably doesn't help that I want to be a teacher too so a city like that wouldn't work with me, so no I woudn't live in a city like that; it'd be so boring.
P.S btw I'm Male.

I have recently moved into a neighborhood where a lot MORE children live. And it's an apartment complex with, like, a front yard area type of thing, so the "darn kids" (lol) are playing right outside my window all day long.
And I love it here. This is 1000 times more relaxing than my old neighborhood. The kids don't bother me one bit, I don't even have to raise my music volume to hear shit. They're background noise, but they're not loud - and if they are, it's kids having fun. How is that cause for rants and raging? It's great.
Especially considering the alternatives. Drunks, traffic, public transportation right outside, traffic, construction with no end, and traffic.
The other upside - half the people who live here are parents or something. They don't give a shit if I do crank up some kickass music, a bombastic movie or my favourite games. It doesn't even bother anyone if I forget to put on my headphones at night (but have stuff on normal volume, obviously). My "noise" is the least of anyone's problems.
Old place? Full of old people who "need their sleep" and have superman-hearing through 7 walls. WTF!

I guess it would be allright, but after a few years i might want to have children, then i would have to abandon my home, job and friends. Same would apply to my coleagues and friends and it would suck. Not to mention that soon it would be crowded with old people, because everyone else would have left to make families and i don't see newcomers rushing in in a hurry to a place with no future. And i don't think that they really bother me all that much, unless i have to babysit one, then all hell breaks loose.
to be entirely honest, i hate being around kids, i live with a little brother and sister, and working fulltime 3rd shift sucks when you have little kids down stairs or outisde making noise all the time >.>
what did i vote? i voted no... why becuase it would be wrong on so many levels... as well as being creepy...

"And so, whether you are here to stay, or passing through to parts unknown...welcome. To City 17."
Yeah its strange.I never notice it in games, but in real life I do. I'm currently couch surfing (mooching) in a gated community where there can be weeks with no kids to be seen. So to go without seeing them at all would just creep me out.Easton Dark said:
No, but not because I love children, rather in a city without children sex would be everywhere and it'd get boring.
Yes, I dislike children. Well, maybe not children themselves, but being around them can be annoying as hell. And their parent are even worse. Why does one have to have a driver's license, but no parentage license?
"But but but, children are our future!"
Not mine. When I'm dead, I'm dead. Having children won't make a difference to me.
"But but but, the miracle of procreation!"
I wouldn't call something rabbits do far better than people a miracle. Yes, I'd be a horrible parent, so I won't be.
Okay, maybe that's a bit drastic... Suffice to say, I wouldn't mind not having children around. As it is now, usually I barely register their presence anyway, so whatever.
Added bonus: no weird pedophiles in town.

And "Stop doing XYZ in front of my child." is a secret code that actually means... "I am a self-centered asshole."Jiggy said:
OT: Male, and absolutely. I hate children. All of them. I don't see why I would want to interact with what is basically just a stupid person that can't learn. What a nightmare.
