Disclaimer: This topic is for healthy minded responsible straight and gay men and women who might rear children through various means such as reproduction, adoption, foster care and/or take an active role in a young person's life as an uncle, aunt, godparent, or teacher.
Disclaimer, Section 2: This is the Internet. There Are Freaks out there. If you discuss your children, DO NOT include specific information about them such as name or location. DO NOT include photos.
Do you plan on having a family and rearing children? Do you take an active role in shaping a young person's life in positive ways?
I think for healthy minded people raising children is an important part of the human and mammalian experience.
I think if I ever get to make a decent income and save money I would like to either adopt as a single parent or reproduce or adopt if I am in a committed heterosexual relationship.
I think I could be a good parent and a good role model. I feel very paternal towards everyone anyways.
I also think that more liberal people should have children. Anecdotally, it seems like conservative people have more children and thats probably why there are more conservatives out there. So many of the liberal professors that I know either have just one or no children at all.
Another thing is, who is going to take care of you when you get old? Don't count on a spouse or life partner. They could die or you may not have one when you are elderly. Part of children's role is to take care of their parents, at least to some extent, when they are really old.
