We're just a bunch of people who don't want kids. We're not an enemy.

I've never been more ashamed of this country than I am now. There are countless reasons why and I won't list them here, but at the top of my list is the universal disdain for people who don't have, or want children. <br><br>I've had people get mad at me for not wanting kids, as if my choice to not procreate was somehow offending them, or ruining their lives. Nothing could be further from the truth. If you want to have kids, have them. It's not my concern. Why is it that people get mad at childfree people for not wanting kids, but childfree people are never mad at parents for having them? The two are remotely equally as crazy in my opinion. <br><br>We're not your enemy. We're not the "devil". We're not the "problem". Fuck, we're not even anti-kids. We just don't want one for ourselves. Stop making us out to be the bad guy. Stop seeing us as the problem. Stop being offended over people who don't want kids. It makes no sense.<br><br>EDIT:<br><br>Wow, this blew up. Thank you so much kind strangers for the awards and the support. It brings a tear to my eye to see so many like-minded people.
