      My friends: “If you hate America so much, why do you still live here?”

      Me, aloud: “I don’t have any money.”

      Me, muttering: “If you love your children so much, why are you raising them here?”

      Basically.

      Personally, I think I’d be a fine parent as long as I get my shit together (and a fuckton of therapy.)

      And it is for that reason I think that if I got a gf and pissed out a baby now, especially in Amerikkka, I’d be worried the pearly gates would flag me for child abuse just for that.

      My wife and I just don’t want kids in general, but even if we did this would completely put a stop in any plans. It feels morally reprehensible to bring up a kid in this country today.
