If we don't have children because we care for our planet, we leave the world to those who don't care at all. Not sure if this is the right decision.

Same with atheism, religious people have more children, so the religious population is increasing, despite people deconverting.

Honestly, I haven't thought of it like that. I guess that's a decent point. But having more than 2 children, and you are part of the problem.

My family had one kid. So we went from I believe seven grandparents and great aunts and uncles down to one child just within two generations!

At this rate my family could depopulate the whole planet in no time.

Also a friend of mine just told me that he met a lady who had 22 siblings so...

adoption

sounds like you're advocating for BOTH eugenics AND brainwashing. please reconsider.

Yes, adoption is literally eugenics AND brainwashing, you are very smart.

who are you saying shouldn't have children? whose children are you proposing to teach to care for the planet?

I never said anyone shouldn't have children.

whose children are you proposing to teach to care for the planet?

children up for adoption

so you'll adopt them and brainwash them into an ideology. it just doesn't have a good ring.

"brainwash them into an ideology" excellent leap my dude

if you're not in favor of that, then i say "good". you'll forgive me for reading the room to say something else though.

I never said anyone shouldn’t have children.

you're right, but the conversation was definitely about eugenics propaganda. if you're not saying "don't have children" then i really apologize, but the tone of the conversation seemed to be "don't have kids. you can adopt instead!"
