You have to wash a washcloth. In hot water, I hope, if that's what you've used it for... Is it definite for sure that this has a smaller footprint than using toilet paper?

Is it definite for sure that this has a smaller footprint than using toilet paper?

I"m not at all convinced that's true.  One of the biggest environmental problems we face right now is we are running out of water.  But as that article points out, it's not too much consumption, it's too many consumers.  But i've said on this board before and been shouted down for it, we only have one problem, overpopulation.  All of our other problems are a byproduct of that.  People, for god sakes stop breeding.

I've always said that gay people are God's way of slowing overpopulation.

Back on topic - I thought today's strip was really cute.  I'm looking forward to Philippe vs. the bidet.

That's a C. M. Kornbluth world you're preaching there, buddy.

Not quite.  My vision has the elite leaving on the spaceships and leaving Earth to the Morons.

Don't blame me, my family is busy not-breeding itself out of existence.  My parent's generation has 11 people in it, mine has 13, and our kids (nephews, nieces, etc) is only at 6 and we're aging out of the breeding range quickly.  My father-in-law's name will be extinct if his granddaughter drops it in the future.

But I like the earth!

My family name drops if I don't have a boy. My daughter is probably going to end up relating more to her mother's name than mine. I've become interested in genealogy, in part, to see if this is really the case or if there is another branch out there.

I'm the end of a long run of First Sons.  This has no practical significance.  The name is easily carried on by my brother's 2 boys, but of surprising note is the end of my Mom's mitochondrial DNA legacy.  I'm reluctant to point this out to her, as she had other regrets about not having a daughter of her own (4/4 boys), most of which she expresses through lavish spoiling of my daughter.  She likewise is the only girl of 3 sibs, and her mother's sisters uniformly failed to produce daughters.  Thus ends a genetic odyssey that began in 1880's Norway.

Meh. There are other people with my last name who aren't directly related to my dad. Plus I'm not related to my dad anyway. So I'm sticking to my having-no-kids plan.

[Turbo Ninja]

Me too.

I like the earth so much, I've decided to keep all my stuff here.

I know what youre all gonna want to do. you want to complete the cycle of life, you want to make little people that look like you, you want to make more people.

DONT MAKE ANY MORE PEOPLE.

DONT. MAKE. PEOPLE.

I'd like to be contrary, but I tripped over a urologist and broke my vas defrens.

I occasionally go knocking around the childfree communities on livejournal. 

It's amazing the amount of loathing and hatred.   I'm always hoping that the people there are being hyperbolic. 

Then I came across this...

There aren't even words.

Hey, all the rest of you besides A-CAP, y'know, those of you I actually respect?

Don't take that post above to heart. If I wanted to say those things in that way to you  it would have already come up in one of the umpteenth other no child wantee discussions.

Dig it.

Yeah, it's always amusing when some 19 year old punk-ass jagoff decides that it's his God-given duty to "educate" others about the grievous errors of their ways. A-CAP, better write it all down now while you still know everything.
