I Am Fascinated By Human Behavior

Why do people typically want to have kids? I'm guessing because they think they'll enjoy raising children, or in a lot of cases people have kids simply because they think it's a natural part of marriage. I don't count the people who have kids simply by accident. I honestly don't want to bring a child into this very hard,cruel world. Life sucks in a lot of ways. Why bring a child into it so they can suffer with you? Kids don't ask to be brought into this world so it seems very selfish to drag them into it so they can cope with life's harshness. And no life doesn't suck all the time. It does have its good points.

It looked like they could have some strange ideas about stuff.

@Cloud7593: Ah well you mentioned below about voluntary human extinction so I just thought it would be what you were looking for just as far as the post is concerned. Sorry you find it strange. I don't agree with anyone's views 100% but they have a lot of interesting stuff on human behavior.

Oh I didn't think they were necessarily wrong about not having children. A lot of times I think people have kids simply because it's expected of adults, kind of the natural order of things. Of course there's the obvious reason that it's the result of having sex, wanted or not.
