This is a normal post Why not? What makes us so bloody important?
We're an invasive species at this point. We have been for the last few hundred years.
That was a rhetorical question, by the way. This isn't really the kind of subject on which you can sway people one way or the other. You either have the breeder mindset, or you don't. It's just nice to know there are other like minded folk out there, even if we're in the minority.

This is a normal post I stopped reading after “We're an invasive species at this point.”
Utterly nonsensical bollocks.

This is a normal post Cats are much better pets than kids and stay cute for longer.
VHEMT is a rubbish acronym though, Volunteers Against Gestation is better.

This is a normal post This is a very old website.
I vaguely remember it from 2001ish, agree with a lot of it. Then I went 'through the looking glass' on to an ex-cult member's blog; where she bitterly argues about YT comments for page after page after page without explanation?!

This is a normal post It's not actually that old, it just looks that way.
Poking around among the 1990s style pages, I found there were updates from last year.

This is a normal post Hah!
That's been ny argument for a long time.

And given how I've not procreated, I can argue that I'm more carbon neutral by definition, so therefore am allowed to spend my carbon budget on other things.

Nothing to do with being a miserable old git, you understand.

This is a normal post "But who will take care of you once you're unable to take care of yourself?!"
What? With the money I've saved by not having children? And the lifetime mortgage I put on the house once I finally retire since I won't be obligated to leave it to the ungrateful brats I raised?
Hookers, of course. Lots and lots of Hookers. And maybe a robot butler.

This is a normal post I like the argument
But I see a teensy tiny flaw.

"With the money I've saved"

Hmmm.... I never realised that was how it was supposed to work.

This is a normal post Best way to think of a pension is as deferred income, you pay yourself now and then pay yourself later
hence the tax break when you pay in and the tax when it pays out

This is a normal post According to research
if you do not reproduce, you can drive a car, go on a transatlantic holiday every year, eat meat, wash your clothes at 60 degrees, use a tumble dryer, not recycle, and use old school lightbulbs and still be less than 10% as polluting as a vegan parent, who doesn't drive, fly, washes clothes in cold water, hang dries those clothes, recycles, and uses low energy lightbulbs.

My view is that each person has a CO2 allowance, sort of like carbon credits, and you can use yours however you like.

I use mine on a nice car, foreign holiday, electricity, and meat. I still have nearly 90% of my allowance left compared to being a parent, so I donate that to the real polluters.

Most vegans I know have children, often more than 1. They should really be doing more for the planet though, don't they have any shame for their actions?
