Lol if you think I'd have kids when I know they'll just grow up and become millenials.

That and my sexual identity was turned into a meme by idiots.

The only good reason to have kids is to have someone to take care of you when you get old but by the time I get old there will probably be robots for that.

No, they are already bad enough, just think what is going to be after millennials.

yeah but the more you need actual help from your kids the more likely you'll be dumped in a home anyway so it's a wash

when you feel the "clock ticking" just have sex (on the pill). You're brain is tricked to believe you're trying and you get to have the fun too. Doesn't that work ? I'm not a lady in her 30's so idk

By the word of Zoroaster, no business decision is poor when it involves Ahura Mazda.
Kids are the best way to to vent your frustrations with lovely neighbors. "I'm terribly sorry Mr. douchebag my kid just drew dicks with chalk all over your sidewalk and driveway. Oh well kids will be kids I'm sure you can wash it off with a hose."

There's also Google's immortality project.

Plus there are numerous problems with having children specifically to have them take care of you as an old fart. They could end up too poor to do much of anything for you (which, with US healthcare costs, isn't all that poor), or grow up to be selfish shitheads who'd throw you to the wolves (no matter how hard you try to raise them right, there's always that pesky "free will" thing), or be too busy with children of their own.

Then you have the question of just how ethical it is to demand that your kids make major sacrifices so that your last couple years might be a bit more comfortable. I've seen several stories of people taking care of parents with advanced dementia, and I've drawn the conclusion that any parent who'd demand that level of sacrifice doesn't deserve it. And if you're going to being up tradition, remember that you're thinking of traditions which evolved back when:

a. The average household would have someone (specifically, someone with a vagina) on call 24/7 to take care of both kids and elderly relatives.

b. The standard treatment for a heart attack or stroke was "kiss your rear end goodbye" -most people could reasonably expect to pass away before having their minds deteriorate into something barely recognizable as human intelligence.

see if this happens you have to be a firm parent and arrange for your child to be kidnapped into a semilegal campsite where they are shown the other side of life and then they grow up into family loving lawyers

I'm guessing this is one of the poo poo holes run by the mormon douche bags who also operated tranquility bay? Interestingly enough I worked with a guy who was sent off to one of their camps. Despite all this tough love, as an adult he was dropping bags of coke in the bathroom and eventually ended up in rehab.
