Says the man with no kids.

No disrespect to Catholics but, I can’t imagine why any sensible person pays any attention to the nattering old socialist buffoon, Pope Francis.

 

[initforme]

It's hard to understand his viewpoint.

 

[Auld Phart]

Why does he hate Doris Day and Betty White?

 

[AMart]

He is right on this one.

 

[BackAgain]

He is right on this one.

No he isn’t. He’s a dope.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Some people are better off with pets instead of children

 

[initforme]

It's not anyone's responsibility to have kids. It's for those that desire them.

 

[Burgermeister]

Who doesn't love that couple who treats their dog like a baby.

A communist 'pope' suddenly cares for higher birth rates.
Something is fishy here

He is right on this one.

Oh well. it looks like my wife and I were selfish.......... Especially after three miscarriages in a row........ Ya know what that does to a woman physically and mentally?

I don't have kids because I am selfish.

I want to keep my money, I want to go where I want when I want, I want to sleep when I want, and I detest noise in my home. I also don't think I am a good teacher.

Fuck him, I've gone 45 with no kids and been married for 8 with no kids. My wife doesn't want any either.

 

[Blackrook]

Our world is filling up. Fewer people are going to have kids.

Yeah there seems to be a consensus that this pope isn't exactly a good one.

He has done a few things organizationally that were ok...but that's been the end of it.

His public relations has been a monumental disaster....one right after another.

Well, he is old...and his days are numbered. And if he can get the Cardinal mess fixed (which has been looking doubtful at the moment) then there's that.

Maybe there's hope for the future...but it ain't looking good for the moment.

Says the man with no kids.

Says the man with a child sex abuse problem within his clergy.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

When Fido and Rover can grow up to sustain the human species then pets in lieu of children will make sense.

I respectfully disagree. The world has far too many people. It's no wonder global warming is going through the roof.
