Questionable? Yes. Disgusting? Well that just means I've closed my mind to any other ideas.
As I see it, it's shortsighted and arrogant to immediately dismiss other ideas than one's own. Closedmindedness breeds ignorance.

Why do people make children?

Has it? Compared to what?
As I said, any other system.
That is a bold claim... and much more than likely an empty, if not entirely misguided, one.
Lots of reasons. Some people, since somebody gave birth to them, feel it's sort of a debt, to pay back humanity for giving them a birth, via their own parents. Others just love children. We raised five. I think ever since I was about 10 years old and a little toddler nephew came over and sat on my lap, in that trusting way little kids do, I wanted to be a Dad. Then having them lie on your chest as babies, while you pat them to sleep is one of the richest experiences I've ever had.I mean....if we exclude the millionaires or the billionaires, well, they can assure a future to their children.
What about the rest?
Proletariat, Middle class. Why do they make them?
They procreate, making children who will have to undergo the parents' impositions, who will basically have no freedom, and once adults they will have to succumb in shark-infested waters. Because there are voracious sharks, that is wicked people who victimize the weakest. Only the fittest survive in capitalistic economies.
Well...I have discovered Anti-Natalism, lately...but I identify as a overpopulation believer and I am 100% convinced that all the problems we have on Earth are caused by too many people on Earth.
So I would like to understand why people do anything to have children.
It's something absolutely avoidable. There is contraception.
Please...only serious replies, merci beaucoup.
I challenge you to list all the other systems and why capitalism is better than them.
Failure to meet the challenge renders your claim is meaningless.
For me it was because I like kids and wanted my own. No other reason. I also believe the world is overpopulated but eventually humanity will die out anyway. It is a survival of the fittest and hopefully I have taught my kids enough to survive. I do believe that there is more good in the world then bad. Hope that suffices.I mean....if we exclude the millionaires or the billionaires, well, they can assure a future to their children.

You mean that sex (rather than making children), which leads up to giving birth to children, is a basic biological drive?
If so, I agree. If you are talking about a biological drive to make children per se, I disagree.

I don't have any children myself. My older brother has two children, both grown (my niece and nephew), and my niece has two children of her own. I do recall back when my brother first got married. Within a year, he was telling me that he and his wife were trying to have a child - and they obviously succeeded in that endeavor. I didn't bother to ask why; it just seemed like the natural thing for couples to want to do.
They did only have two children, which falls in line with the parameters of zero population growth while still in line with the replacement rate.
The right to procreate is a cherished human right, so I can't see treading on that. However, being that it's a major life-changing decision, it might be better if people approached it a bit more seriously rather than treating it as something that "just happens." It's not like the stork just shows up with another surprise.
Bold claims are my specialty.
Lol. Aren’t you a ball of fun? Lol
Read this for starters: Anyone Who Doesn’t Know The Following Facts About Capitalism Should Learn Them
I see.
Wanna address the accusation that capitalism creates poverty and hunger, though? Surely you heard of it?
"Many self-made millionaires have money coming in from several places, including their salaries, dividends from investments, income from rental properties, and investments they have made in other business enterprises, to name a few examples."
As a point. The poor typically don't have "salaries". Let alone multiple income streams.
Yes. But only the fittest win.
There are winners and losers in Capitalism.
And not because of merit. Because of money. Owning money is not a merit because you often inherit it.
The 50 50 is an idiom to mean that a child can genetically be predisposed to either good or evil.
It's not statistics.
It's an idiom.
My best friend is considered a trollop.
That's why she escaped her village and moved to the capital.
She has had sex with the most important and handsome men I know...we have friends in common.
But she has never got pregnant. Never had abortions.
So the thing that "sex produces babies" is so wrong in 2023, thanks to the medicine achievements in birth control.
PS: I had sex so many times in my life with different men...sex doesn't produce babies'
If you're rich, it does make sense.
If you are middle class or poor, it doesn't.
With an overpopulated world...too many had the same idea.
It's like thinking: "I am the best, the most perfect ever, and I want to pass on my genes".
There are too many "best people" out there. So it doesn't add up
Which is horrific, if you think about it.
Because childless people don't make children for the exact opposite reason: that is, they don't want children who will have to suffer the parent impositions, which is what traumatized them in the first place, as children. It's a trauma.
It's diabolical that some want to make others pay what they underwent as children.
If a parent really wanted a child out of love, they would adopt one.
Indeed.
And that is the most squalid aspect.
People are clones of their own friends.
If my friend jumps off a cliff, I won't do the same thing, just because they do it.
Many people would do what their friends do.
