@roxanna posted a new topic, subject "Answer me this". It read:

   I know I'm crazy . So if you don't want children you're gay? Make sense out of this please.

So @Sardonic replied

    I get myself into trouble trying to make sense of my voices and thoughts. We can't make sense of it. It's meaningless brain chatter. It's best to just keep moving forward as best you can. The brain chatter may not go away (I know mine hasn't), but we should try our best not to let it consume us.

@PatrickT replied

    Nobody thinks you are gay…or a ho…or anything else. That's just your affliction talking.

Then @77nick77 said

    It doesn't mean you're kwalters@example.com. It just means you don't want a bunch of little rugrats running around the housed every day breaking things and crying and pooping all day. The insane people are the people who have more than one kid. Having a second kid means you didn't learn anything from the first one.

So @Persia replied

    There is a huge difference between being gay and not wanting children as they are two totally different things…and there is no shame in either! Don't even give it any thought as it should be totally irrelevent.

@anon97118089 replied

    I reckon ill make a child oneday. It would be cool seeing a little me running around

So @Daze replied

    We all have one life. It can be exclusive. Depends.

To which @anon78876561 replied

    I am insane. But I was insane before I had five kids.

@chordy replied

    I know heterosexual couples who don't want kids. It just depends on what activity and energy you want to direct your life to.

So @ZmaGal replied

    I second @Persia

@Hadeda replied

    Never wanted kids  
    But I'm married and definitely heterosexual

To which @crimby replied

    I'm sixty years old, and I never had children. There were times when I wanted children, but it didn't materialize. Sometimes I feel like I missed out, but other times I think that maybe it was for the best.

After which, @system added
