Never have kids. (Destiny)

We lose:

• Money
  
• Freedom to go where we want and when
  
• The ability to be reckless with our lives
  
• Rated R movies in the living room
  
• The ability to mow the lawn without the danger of mowing up a ninja turtle
  
• Being able to keep guns in an unlocked safe
  
• Freedom to swear constantly
  
• Late nights out and no babysitter
  
• Sunday mornings taking them to church when we've stopped bothering 10 years ago.

Of course, talk to a parent, and all of that is small potatoes and kids are the best thing ever, unless they've stepped on a LEGO block in the past 5 minutes.

This is incomparable, because having children is kind of a moral responsibility for the future of our species (at least how I see it). I feel like I have a duty to have a child or children and raise them to uphold, preserve spread cultural and ethical values that are a benefit to humanity, and morally right.

Destiny is just a video game.

This is a terrible reason to have kids. There are plenty of people irresponsibly having kids out there... you can sleep well knowing that they will have enough to cover your -1.
