A story sure to astound.

I've been in this world near 30 years and have seen and heard my fair share of crackpots,wackos,zealots,religious and political idealogues and lunatics but this story is something that has shaken me to the core.

would you really want someone that stupid, breeding. and making more stupid people. cheese and rice, that woman has lost her damn mind. maybe she has inhaled too much car exhaust to keep it out of the environment.

People are strange...

I'm cool with people not wanting kids because they aren't into raising kids, but this is lunacy.  Their logic is all wrong.  If they had kids (which I'm glad they decided not to) then they could teach their kids their ways and thus there would be more people willing to be environmentally oriented.  Though, their logic states that kids are a burden on the environment, thus means they, themselves are a burden on the environment.  Therefore it's my conclusion they should terminate themselves and thus no longer be a burden to this environment and the people that have to listen to their lunacy.

EXCELLENT point Tyler, I completley concur.

Though I disagree with her philosophy, to each their own. I just hope she's not violently campaigning against others that disagree with her.  In reading that piece, I got the impression she would.

[nomad]

And a woman like me, who is not having children in order to save the planet, is considered barking mad. 

She really sums it up with that statement!

Ty you got it right just terminate themselves!

[SLYinKC]

Jdog, That piece is just plain scarry.  I sure do hope that there aren't many more out there like her.  She should be thankful her mother didn't feel the same way.

I heard about this on the radio a couple of weeks ago.  My initial thought was the same as what some of you have already expressed -- thank goodness people like this aren't reproducing and screwing up another generation.

[Paul]

That is the most hopeless and perverse thinking I have ever encountered.  Did she ever stop to think that by having that child that he or she would be the one to solve problems that WOULD save the planet?

[Scott]

What an idiot!  I'm glad she's decided not to have children, and I don't want to go into uncomfortable territory here, but my mother got pregnant with me when she was 16 and although women have the right to choose how they live, I personally am glad my mother chose to have me - she herself has made that statement more than once.  Again, I'm not trying to start a holy war or whatever with my very passionate view, but the level of selfishness this woman has expressed is ridiculous.  I do agree with Tyler in that people who don't want to raise children shouldn't have them, but blaming not having a child because you don't want to harm the environment is weird.  Like Paul said, perhaps her child was supposed to be the one to save the environment or create world peace?
