# What motivates breeding?
I mean there you go, put in lots of traumatic effort, pain and uncertainty, all to produce a random human. They'll be annoying for a few years and then develop a personality, and it could be a nice personality or they could be horrible. Alternatively you could go and socialise and make friends and only select the ones who are nice, and they'd all already be grown up and you wouldn't have to feed them, much. Your children, on the other hand, might not even like you. Not to mention constantly having to be on the look out for stuff your baby might break, or that might break your baby. How is this a good idea?

# Fuck yes.
This is why I'm never having kids. I've seen what a shit I can be, and I'd hate to have to deal with a cunt like me for the rest of my life, from an outside perspective at least.

I'm not having kids, saves money, saves time.

# I'm glad somebody's doing it, mind you.
I applaud parents for this foolhardy, potentially life-ruining act which provides me with new future humans who might entertain me.

# Definitely.
They're doing a good job, I'd have nobody to talk to if it wasn't for them.

But like hell am I going through all that.

# Genes
isn't it?
(I helped save b3ta! Tangy bzzzzzzzzt, Sun 7 Sep 2008, 2:17, archived)
# How so?
Generally when our genes urge us to do something we don't listen, and do what we like instead. Like doing extreme sports, gawping at pictures of dangerous animals, eating things that taste funny, and using contraception. And the whole of human culture.

# What about eating salty and fatty foods?

# Ooh, fair point. Discomfort caused by cravings is motivating.
Maybe people have babies because they get cranky if they don't.

# Babies are high in salt and fat...
A tasty snack!

# If we paid full attention to the urges of our genes
we'd be constantly eating other people's babies. And then having some ourselves.

# I'm going to do genetic experiments instead.
Sort of a cross between having a pet and a child then.

Although with slightly more locked in a cage beating with sticks action.
