Of all the ways to doom mankind, this is the dumbest.

One Word: Contraception

I know what you mean on the name part. I honestly believe our parents should have asked us what we wanted out name to be.

People need to stop having children...

I personally will never willingly create a child (I hope). I don't want to be an instrument of human suffering.

Also, another funny thing is that you don't get to choose your own name... >.>

This reminded me of Jonathan Swift's Modest Proposal.

Because I'm sure we can reply with speech at birth...

This is the only non-retarded part of this post, as there is an underlying point to it.
Put it this way: I'm, at some point, probably going to be involved in producing GM crops that will end up helping with the ever-increasing human population and its constant needs for food and living space. Honestly, I think that, even if I do manage to make the most perfect food-producing plants in the world, it's a doomed effort.
No matter how much you support a population, that population will always end up out-growing its ecological (and artificial) boundaries. Humans are no different: They die if starved of resources such as food, water and homes.
The world's population is expected to reach 9 billion within our lifetimes. That number of people on the planet simply isn't sustainable with the current methods and resources we have on earth. But the worst part of it is that, even if we do manage to find enough food etc. to sustain 9 billion people, the population will just grow to 12 billion, 15 billion, and so on.

Humanity cannot keep growing forever. Sooner or later (within our lifetimes, according to the most reliable estimates) western society, as well as the rest of the world, will have to make some very difficult desicions regarding how many children anyone can have, who can reproduce, and who can't.
China already has a policy of encouraging couples to have just one child, but it is not strict enough to stop many people from ignoring it. If we don't want to suffer the same fate as any species that oversteps its ecological boundaries (read: starvation and disease reducing the numbers back down to below said boundary), societal restrictions will need to be implemented. Extremely unpopular ones at that (think: mandatory abortions).
This, naturally, will not sit well with most of the world (you'd sooner stop some people from breathing than from having kids), but then again neither will a lack of resources causing the death of billions, hence the dilemma.

Since there's a reasonable chance of this happening at a time when most of NG's children are of a parent-worthy age, is it really such a good idea? I know people love having kids, but isn't that the whole reason these predictions are being made in the first place?

I don't want kids. I have better things to do with my life than spend the majority of it ensuring I leave a 'replacement' when I die. That replacement is flawed in the same way I am: it'll die too. And so will its children, and so on.
I'm lucky to have access to enough information to leave more than just kids to the world, so that's exactly what I hope to do instead.

.....Boy, I sure know how to write depressing shit, don't I?

The OP is so stupid i love live, i love the fact that i beat millions of other sperm to get to the egg. So i am glad im alive.

Ummm... okay then.

Stop having kids? So we all go extinct? Screw that.

On the other hand... If you read a few youtube comments, you already lost faith in the human race.

Some people should've been aborted. Like Twilight fans, we don't need those.

So your saying no-one should have children, ever?

I see no problems with this plan

Dear friends, we are agthere dhere today to mourn the loss of logic, reason and common sense who were brutally murder at the hands of Mushookieman in what can be said to either be a really shityt joke, or a really idiotic rant.

May they rest in pieces.

A popular argument that happens to be wrong FUCKING WRONG.
Your only duty in life is to have children and increase the population. And if you're in love and want to start a family, why not?

I personally will never willingly create a child (I hope). I don't want to be an instrument of human suffering.

You allready seem pretty emo to me, IMO.

When you get of age you can change your name. Seriously.

With Catholics being so present in the world and morals coming into mind along side abortions, these are not wholey effective. Also, the talk of 'not having kids' needs to be extended. Why? Why shouldn't people have kids? Did one upset the OP?

Well, people still like to believe in their non-existent "god".
It's just something for them to believe in, to ensure success in their pathetic lives.

That's what happens when these primitive minds take control: no abortions.
Abortions are a good option for unwanted babies. We already have enough annoying kids to deal with.

Anyway: Religion is primitive. It's okay to believe that somebody created Earth in 7 days ages ago, but not now, when there's obvious proof it wasn't. Get with the times.

Bah, I wish I was never fucking born

children are nice... we were all children weren't we??

come here, i'll give you a hug.

Yay for contributing to overpopulation!

I'm very glad I couldn't choose my own name. It'd be something stupid, probably Callisto. I was pretty into that name for a while.

Useful tip: Learn the concept of family planning.

Bit late for me though, and my mother is very much dead so there's no chance of trying to get back inside. Not that I'd want to anyway.

I just think it's rather stupid that EVERYONE can have children. You need a driver's license to drive, lots of paperwork to build a house, lots of studies to get a job...
Yet you can have children without proving anything.
Because of that, people who shouldn't have children do have children, while they cannot raise them, that's just plain silly.
When you adopt a child, you have to be checked for loads of stuff, but when you want a baby from your own, no tests or anything...

Anyway, I do want children, but not just yet :p And I'll be a good dad.

Hey guys!

Let's stop making babies and discontinue the human species!

Seeing as though that's impossible, I guess everybody should never have children and let the human race die out.

Human existence is indeed procreation, everything is a procreation of a procreation, but you can have more procreations than mere kids.

But children are cute
