        He thinks that it's your job, assuming you're a white woman, to shack up with a guy (but only a white one! And he has to be the right kind of white!) and have as many white babies with him as possible. It has to do with his white extinction conspiracies and having as many white people as necessary to fight a race-war with the Arabs.

        • Arabs, huh? Wow, how random.

          Whether or not you want to admit it, it's a rather valid assertion.

          Non-White woman: Have ten kids (regardless of whether or not you can afford them).
          White woman: Have ten cats - and call them your babies. Because, you know...it's the same thing, right?

    I don't understand the reasoning behind wanting to own a pet. I mean, if people don't want to have children it's their choice, but, why getting a pet that is basically the equivalent of a 1 year old child? And it's gonna stay that way for it's entire life. How is that less of a responsibility than raising a kid? At least children can grow up to become doctors,scientists or inventors. What do pets have to offer? You can't have a conversation with it, it can't give you advice or help you overcome difficult challenges.

      Usually I agree with you crusades but that was kinda stupid. For example a dog serves a purpose as if the right breed it will bark to alarm or bite to protect or fetch as a lab would a duck during hunting season. Me for example I live alone and have a rat for companionship and I like them cause their intelligent, low maintenance and clean themselves and die in a little over a year and you can train then and they behave well enough to stick in your pocket and stay there when you go to the store or on your shoulder for a bike ride. Buy one and if you don't like it then throw em down the garbage disposal.

        Nothing in your comment convinced me of the usefulness of pets.
        They bark and alert you? Why not buy a security system instead? It proves to be cheaper in the long run and you don't have to feed it and cater to it's needs. That way you also don't disturb your neighbor with your dog's barking.

        You can use them for hunting? Wow. What a good way to find use for your pet while harming other animals.

        You can train your pet rat to sit still in your pocket while you go shopping or on a bike ride. Why the hell would you take a rat or any other small animal for that matter while you go out? Pockets are for objects, not for living beings.

        "Buy one and if you don't like it then throw em down the garbage disposal. "

        Please tell me you're trolling.

          "Nothing in your comment convinced me of the usefulness of pets."

          #1) You're not serious are you? You do know man has bread the dog specifically for one purpose or another. Another example, a douchhound retrieves prairie dogs out of burrows which is exactly why it's shaped like a "Weiner" with strong hind legs for biting and backing up out of the hole, surely a man of your intellect can understand this.

          #2) "harming other animals." ... Do you eat meat? Yes? Then shusodomiteck up or suck PITAS dick.

          "You can train your pet rat to sit still in your pocket while you go shopping or on a bike ride. Why the hell would you take a rat or any other small animal for that matter while you go out?"

          #3) Simple case in point a few days I brought my rat with me in my pocket to Lows home improvement store to buy shit for house repairs and checked out near the lumber section around closing time and used my rat as a tool to get the sales associates phone number with the intention of sticking my cock inside of her later on and finds out she's a sodomite bi-sexual with a girlfriend, two additional voids for my cock to fill.

    Kids demand more responsibility and income to raise and care for properly. Pets are easier.

    I wish there were many more like you. This planet just doesn't need any more children who's parent(s) really didn't consciously choose to have a kid.
    Bravo for you.

      Yes of course they are but one has a shorter life expectancy and can't do cool things like say talk to you as they get older. Not that the ungrateful little shits talk to you much when they get older anyways.

        Your pet snail can't love you.

    These days it's fairly normal, at least in first world countries.

    Sure, you don't have to understand it. It's a personal choice. First of all, you won't find a bigger animal lover than me. It fills my maternal instinct perfectly. I think what children grown up to be is irrelevant. I know many children that have grown up to be lets just say not upstanding members of society. They don't all grow up to be what you stated above. I know many mothers that have to pick up the pieces of their selfish lazy children that cause them much heartache. That's not to say that all instances are like this. I also know many mothers that are love motherhood and wouldn't want it any other way. A significant other/sibling/friend can offer great advice!hate to say it but you sound rather naive.
