A South Park episode comes to mind... http://gph.is/2bjK3lK

I just don't know where you get off telling people they shouldn't have kids. Maybe you're just immature, I don't know, but there's nothing to be gained from it.

I specifically said, "It's fine to choose to have a kid."

My point is that if a person is concerned about the environment and the toll humanity is taking on it, recognize the affect your personal choice is having.

>It's fine to choose to have a kid.

Thanks for your blessing. It's everything else you said )moreso the way in which you said it) that's wrong.

Would you judge someone who said they were environmentally conscious but lived in a McMansion and drove a hummer? I don't see why having kids is any different.
You don't see why reproducing is different than owning a Hummer? You're obviously not a reasonable person.
Both are choices. Both have consequences. Why ignore one and not the other?
