But if there is no one there to know that the world exists, it may very well not. You?re playing with the very existence of existence there, stop it. It frightens me.

There is a difference between saying "wait a minute, why don't we ease of on the accelerator even if we are in the speed limit - there seems to be a lot of oil on the ground" and "Stop the car! Stop the car!"


I think there is merit in people not having children - probably a small percentage will opt for that route but clearly at current rate of population growth, the globe will give up the ghost eventually?


I wouldn't rule out an eventual cap on family size either - I see nothing intrinsically unfair about it - for the same reason.

I think people that don't have children should have a collective responsibility to take on the financial burden of those that do!


So, if each CHILDFREE person on here would like to make a contribution to my boys nursery fees from next January please PM me!


Go on , pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez????

Ratty - I already to contribute to your children's education by paying taxes (unless of course you go private and then don't need my contribution!)


Edited to add - sorry in retrospect realised this seems a bit pious - maybe I should have added a :)

is that YOUR excuse? or is it not wanting to share your toys?

My children will be scrapped????? Oh, I see! :D


Had a half hour of play with my one year old before work this morning. He is learning to walk and pelted across the front room, gaining speed before nearly falling splat on his face (his elbows just saved him).


Yes - having children, for me, is the BEST THING EVER!

I find children, babies and pregnant women utterly repulsive - it's almost verging on phobic. I'm staring to think it's an evolutionary thing... like the world is so over populated that now some people are born to inherently not want children.


People always think I'm exaggerating or that I will "grow out of it" (I'm close to 30 now), but really, I can't stand children. It's like a parasite that feeds off of you for 9 months, then it comes out of your vagina (the average baby weighs 7.5lbs!) and you're expected to look after it and buy it stuff for 18+ years. NO THANKS!


I'm going to stick to cats. All babies look like Winston Churchill... but you's be hard pressed to find an un-cute kitten!

    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
