I am simply astonished at the level of selfishness.

People don't want to get married or be committed because this way they can go hook up anytime they're in heat.

They don't want children because it interferes with their pursuit of satisfying themselves.

There is little interest in self-sacrifice. It is all hedonism all the time. It's all about me!

Don't publicly whine when you're all alone at 55 with your shacked-up temporary “partner” and now facing your own mortality.

You're right, but in all fairness there are some of us who chose to be childless, not necessarily out of selfishness or wanting to hook up with a different guy every night. I've never had children because I don't have the right stuff to be a good parent. In my distressed neighborhood, I've seen the results of women having children they don't want or are unprepared to raise. Of course, some of them aren't good dog owners either, but that's a whole ‘nuther issue.

My point is, don't paint everyone who would rather not have children with the same broad brush. I'm proud and supportive of those who do have children, but it's not right to condemn those who for whatever reason can't or won't have children.
