Lack of education, pressure, careless.

Well, if you have the money to spoil your kids, then why not?

I don't know how old you are but your thinking is very narrow minded. Nothing in life can be too planned out and structured and that goes for having children.
How can this be racist when I am speaking from my own experience?

This is a fact, do your research.

When people say something about a non-white race, even if it's true, why do people think they're racist? And why can people say whatever they want about white people but not be considered racist?

I do have AA and Hispanics friends and I am not racist.

Just speaking from what I have noticed and read.

How is he selfish for not having children?

There are lot of folks who are struggling financially and have children. They have thought of this before having one.

At 19 years old, you should not even be thinking about having a kid anyways.

Just think...when a celebrity's kid goes to school, the classmates will know him/her as "the celebrity's son/daughter"

How can you have a normal life when you go through life with that label from a young age?

Yes, so the kids will be popular.

Culkin became popular with Home Alone.
