The human species isn't going to disappear from the Earth just because more people decide they don't want kids.
Yes because the vast majority of us do want to pass something on to the next generation. The only fear is if people like you try to force your ideas on others. Again, the bad guy from that one episode of Blacklist comes to mind; his followers intentionally exposed themselves to a plague for the purpose of killing all humans.
People have been having a lot of babies since the dawn of man. The planet isn't overpoulated. We're just not using available resources efficiently enough.
Being against people having babies is sick and wrong.
Quit distorting the issue. Not having children doesn't make anyone against humanity and it is not sick and wrong, no matter how many different times and different ways you say it.
I have three cousins who, combined, have 11 children, so my not having kids at all isn't impacting the world's population negatively. Good grief.

Can we please get back to the original post and stop having a debate over what CFBC means?
It actually is on topic; I'm someone who is not "CFBC" and I am describing how I feel about being with someone who is "CFBC".
I don't want kids anymore at this point...but if somebody says they don't like being around children, they are repulsed by them, they don't think people should have kids....that doesn't sound like someone with whom I would want to spend my time, at least not for romantic purposes. I mean even if a couple thinks they would not be good parents for whatever reason (financial, emotional, etc), they could help couples who do have children in that they can be a good influence on the kids, help teach them, help think of things for the parents to do with their kids or places to take them, or watch them when the parents have to be away, etc. So if someone doesn't even want to that, again, if someone who is "CFBC" feels they wouldn't even want to support families they know in those ways, I wouldn't want to be with them.
I actually wonder if many of the CFBC people are simply young and have a different opinion later in life. Like me, when I was younger I went through phases of wanting children and not wanting them. These days I usually do not. If nothing else, I'm getting a little old to start having children at this point. But I would help out people who do have kids, if they needed and wanted that.

Don't you understand the reason people are CFBC, is because they don't want the responsibility of having a child. I've never wanted children, and had a vasectomy at age 21. They made me think it over for like 30+ days before the urologist performed that procedure, just to make sure I really wanted it.
If I am unwilling to have my own child and raise it, why the hell would I do that with someone else's child? I'm too selfish, to take on someone else's F up, they can deal with it, it's not my responsibility. Maybe if more parents really thought about it, like I have, there wouldn't be foster homes, or homeless children. Unfortunately for the kids, parents can be very selfish, and unwilling to admit it, before it's way too late.
Well, you're much more likely to find a man who is OK not having kids than a man is to meet a woman. I have known for many years that I didn't want kids and it's been a real difficulty finding a woman on the same page. They mostly are a lot older than I am (38), which is fine except that those people usually don't share my interest in outdoor activities. Ah well- best of luck to us both.
But most families aren't like that. My family isn't that close and I take care of my dad when he needs it.
Well I'm just saying if that's the big reason people are having kids, it's a stupid reason.
