The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

It's not necessary to have a reason or even to want to have a kid.
Sometimes, possibly a lot of the time, the zygote is created without your intention.
As in:
"I don't think this is a good idea today."
"Oh, I think it is a GREAT idea."
A few weeks later: "Hey remember when I said I didn't think it was a good idea? Well guess what!"

Of course, that can be dealt with if you so desire.

The future belongs to those who show up.
If you don't care about the future -- and we'll all be dead so we won't know -- then it doesn't matter. Mine will show up.
