Neither. I'm in agreement that procreation is good (for those who choose to) and that it should be within the confines of marriage.
My beef is the holier-than-thou attitude about it.

I see the distinct lack of a sense of humor. See that black hole? ;-)

There's little that irritates a humorless person more than to be laughed at.
Let's all howl with laughter!

Where you've been judgmental.
So you're saying that by disagreeing with your position on this issue, I'm being "judgmental" and that's disrespectful. Is that it?
I'm just laughing at you now. Sorry, but I've just gotten to that point. :-D
Don't say you're sorry unless you really are. I have always held you in the highest regard as an intelligent and informative poster and someone who is serving her country, but this exchange has made me rethink some of that.

"So you're saying that by disagreeing with your position on this issue, I'm being "judgmental" and that's disrespectful. Is that it?"
Here's the difference:
"I think you're missing a great experience by not having children." (disagreement)
"Deciding not to have children is wrong." (judgment)
To: RockinRight

Perhaps there's something to that with regard to this thread. However, I'll invite you to some of the threads that simply speak positively about having large families without ridiculing those who are childless. The same "I hate kids" people show up on those threads to preach their dogma.

By all means. You're only going to encourage me further...

Slim, are you still FREE RIDING?
Didn't you get enough yesterday?
To: Antoninus
Myself, I hope to marry and have children someday. I just disagree with the notion that remaining childless (intentionally) is in and of itself some kind of sin, which several posters on this thread have been saying.

"I think you're missing a great experience by not having children." (disagreement)
"Deciding not to have children is wrong." (judgment)
So now we're down to semantics, eh? The least you can do is not misrepresent my opinion, which would be more accurately described as follows:
"Deciding not to have children for purely selfish reasons is wrong."
And is this statement any more 'judgmental' than the following?
"Burning the American flag is wrong."
"Protesting at soldiers' funerals is wrong."
"Voting for John Kerry is wrong."
Seems to me that we all do an awful lot of 'judging' around here.
