Man I feel sorry for everyone that’s been abused. Our generation at least won’t be beating their kids

Cause we can't justify bringing kids into this world? That's where I am at.

I'm not having kids, it's the only way I can be sure the cycle will be broken.
Besides it feels cruel to bring life into this world when we're on the verge of a climate catastrophe that will almost certainly result in war on a scale we've never seen before in the next few decades when any children born today will be prime drafting age.

Completely agree. Same view.

This is why my husband and I plan to abopt. We don't want to bring a child onto this world, but we can sure help a child that's already here!

I felt really sad when someone I knew started to have extremist opinions and was talking about how it was ok to beat kids. His reasoning? He was beaten. “And I turned out fine” he reasoned. No you didnt you want to beat children!
