"Childfree": Selfishness Incarnate or Saavy Living?
October 9, 2007 at 11:22 pm (Cognitive Dissonance)
Have you heard of the "Childfree" movement?
That's right. The cultural fallacy that children are burdens, animals
are environmentally friendly "kids" and no parenting is better than
bad parenting has an official meeting place. Quite literally, their
whole mission is to throw (jettison is probably a better word) the
baby out with the bathwater!
Summary: the Childfree movement is made up of people who can't have
kids or don't want kids (for various reasons), and are tired of a
cultural stigma for being sterile and/ or childless. Hence, they're
not child-less-they're childfree! Weeee!!! Now doesn't a sterilized
population sound fun?
Actually, no. This hurts my heart, soul, mind and body more than I can
really say. It's evil organized and incarnate at worst, and cognitive
dissonance at best. I mean really, do these people hate themselves,
because it seems to me that unless they were dropped from another
planet, they themselves were children once, and oops-thank you to the
"fertility idolaters" that were their parents!
The society members site various and sundry, but radically fatuous,
reasons for their choice to embrace sterility: bad parenting,
overpopulation, environmental and economic concerns related to the
formers, but the most honest reason is plain old devoted narcissism.
I cannot possibly address this narcissistic fundamentalism in one
post, but let me start with one thing: overpopulation. Overpopulation
is so pass=E9. De-population is the new overpopulation. It's the new
crisis. And hello! It's not all that new. Just because Oprah hasn't
done a show on it, Sheryl Crow hasn't sung about it, and the Economist
only just got it in the news doesn't mean it's a passing worry.
Depopulation is at crisis levels in Western Europe and even China-the-
vast is foreseeing the crippling wound of sterility that will effect
their economy disastrously.
This isn't just the rally cry of fertility fanatics, either, but now
is the intellectual clarion cry of the demographer, the doomsday
prophecy of the secular uber-intellectual. Take, for example, Andrew
Pollard. He's the director of EMP Intelligence Service, a UK based
Competitive Intelligence consultancy which focuses on, among other
things, population trends. He gave a talk at the Pro Life Action
League's 2006 Conference, "Contraception is Not the Answer." Let me
tell you, I was sure the overpopulation myth had run it's course, but
listening to his talk compelled me that not only is overpopulation a
fallacy, but depopulation is a crisis of epic proportions, the likes
of which we have never seen.

It's wonderful that the liberals and queers have elected to remove their
genes
from the human race. It is a time to rejoice, because it will end with
the those fools and tragic hedonists, dying off and allowing room for
those with brains and personal integrity. Achievers and leaders. What a
glorious solution to a world problem! The world will be able to use it's
resources on people who matter, and enrich our lives.

It's funny how those who indulge in selfish behaviour like driving SUVs
preach to others about being selfish.
It's funny how those who value freedom to lead their lives as they fit
without interference from other themselves pass judgement on choices
made by others.
In point of fact child-free living is an ultraistic. A baby born will
need to buy a car, eat food, consume resources and energy of a planet
with only a finite quantity of these, build and house and water its
gardens with water. Child-free means not contributing as much to
damaging the environment as those who permit birth control by
mathematics but not by physics and chemistry.

Nah, don't worry about it. Plenty of today's "liberals" (I use the
word with much trepidation, because many who get that label really are
moderates) grew up in rightard households, like I did. In spite of
parents' best efforts to brainwash their kids, a surprising number of
us grew up and learned to think for ourselves and hold opinions and
political affiliations different from those of our parents. It was
always thus, and always will be. Political affiliation is *not* in
the genes, and neither is one's ethical orientation.

I'm from a die hard Republican, "family values," fundie family. So's my
brother, the Edwards supporter who's so hacked at the GOP, he says he's
voting straight party (Democratic) this time. Both of us are advocates of
single payer who bash corporations as one of the most corrupt institution
ever created by the government.
That's two out of three. The third may be a Republican for all I know. He
back stabbed my other brother, screwed over his own mother, got him and
his wife both fired from their jobs, disappeared and the two of us have
disowned him. So he sure acts like a Republican...

And have been for time immemorial. Yet there are still liberals and queers,
in fact, more now than ever. Why do you think that is?

It is a time to rejoice, because it will end with
the those fools and tragic hedonists, dying off and allowing room for
those with brains and personal integrity. Achievers and leaders.

Um...you mean like all the sheep that followed your fearless leader into
war? Jesus titty fucking christ, if Jefferson were alive today, he would be
the first to be calling for a revolution and Dubya's head under the blade.

What
a glorious solution to a world problem! The world will be able to use
it's resources on people who matter, and enrich our lives.

Don't count on it, sparky. Liberalism has a long and glorious tradition in
the United States, starting with Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Paine and
onward with Lincoln, FDR, etc. This country's greatest moments were and will
be triumphs of liberalism over the bastions of conservatism. This country's
worst nightmare's have been a result of reactionary hawkism from the Mexican
War through Vietnam and Iraq.

"Childfree": Selfishness Incarnate or Saavy Living?

October 9, 2007 at 11:22 pm (Cognitive Dissonance)


Have you heard of the "Childfree" movement?



That's right. The cultural fallacy that children are burdens, animals
are environmentally friendly "kids" and no parenting is better than
bad parenting has an official meeting place. Quite literally, their
whole mission is to throw (jettison is probably a better word) the
baby out with the bathwater!

Summary: the Childfree movement is made up of people who can't have
kids or don't want kids (for various reasons), and are tired of a
cultural stigma for being sterile and/ or childless. Hence, they're
not child-less-they're childfree! Weeee!!! Now doesn't a sterilized
population sound fun?

Actually, no. This hurts my heart, soul, mind and body more than I can
really say. It's evil organized and incarnate at worst, and cognitive
dissonance at best. I mean really, do these people hate themselves,
because it seems to me that unless they were dropped from another
planet, they themselves were children once, and oops-thank you to the
"fertility idolaters" that were their parents!

The society members site various and sundry, but radically fatuous,
reasons for their choice to embrace sterility: bad parenting,
overpopulation, environmental and economic concerns related to the
formers, but the most honest reason is plain old devoted narcissism.


Right on! These horrible people should be FORCED to have children.

And so should all those priests, up to and including the Pope.
Who does he think he is anyhow, the selfish narcissistic *****?

Don't you find it amazing that someone would get upset with another
persons choice about what to do with their own body?
I do.

things all the time, and as long as they don't ask me to support it
and they don't harm another...I don't care.
By being childfree, I am neither asking for subsidy, nor am I hurting
someone....why should the writer care...other than the fact he is an

anyone who doesn't is evil.

Exactly.
Because such writers have experienced having to give up their time and
resources and maybe a lot of their lives to raise kids, they somehow
think they are "selfless," and those of us who choose otherwise must be
"selfish." They haven't figured out that having kids is a choice, not a
requirement, and have still absorbed the old cant that having children
is a societal and/or religious-given "good."

"Jesus was a bad and selfish man for not having any children. Luckily
he didn't have any kind of legacy to pass on and is now completely

In the same vein: People should take that list of talented CF

compromised had they had to raise children.

planet, they themselves were children once, and oops-thank you to the
"fertility idolaters" that were their parents!

The society members site various and sundry, but radically fatuous,
reasons for their choice to embrace sterility: bad parenting,
overpopulation, environmental and economic concerns related to the
formers, but the most honest reason is plain old devoted narcissism.


Right on! These horrible people should be FORCED to have children.

And so should all those priests, up to and including the Pope.
Who does he think he is anyhow, the selfish narcissistic *****?


Don't you find it amazing that someone would get upset with another
persons choice about what to do with their own body?

I do.


I find the same type of argument, but applied to gays, even sillier:
they're just such incredibly selfish hedonists!! If they had any concern
for anyone other themselves, they'd just stop being gay and start
having children!


I believe that adults should be free to do anything that they want to
do as long as it doesn't infringe on someone else's freedoms. Yes, I
know that such a belief is old fashioned and dated, but then so am I.

There's a lot of us about.

"Childfree": Selfishness Incarnate or Saavy Living?

October 9, 2007 at 11:22 pm (Cognitive Dissonance)


Have you heard of the "Childfree" movement?



That's right. The cultural fallacy that children are burdens,
animals are environmentally friendly "kids" and no parenting is
better than bad parenting has an official meeting place. Quite
literally, their whole mission is to throw (jettison is probably a
better word) the baby out with the bathwater!

Summary: the Childfree movement is made up of people who can't have
kids or don't want kids (for various reasons), and are tired of a
cultural stigma for being sterile and/ or childless. Hence, they're
not child-less-they're childfree! Weeee!!! Now doesn't a sterilized
population sound fun?

Actually, no. This hurts my heart, soul, mind and body more than I
can really say. It's evil organized and incarnate at worst, and
cognitive dissonance at best. I mean really, do these people hate
themselves, because it seems to me that unless they were dropped
from another planet, they themselves were children once, and
oops-thank you to the "fertility idolaters" that were their parents!

Which is really funny as the ultimate selfishness is perpetuating your
genes...
