Now back to the topic... .
Indeed, you are a random person but if you need to believe that I'm defensive to let yourself feel better and sleep at night then be my guest. However, you are the one who is confused as a result, I'm sorry you unable to comprehend me. I don't need to prove myself to you nor have I tried. I'm telling you how it is. I can take the horse to water but I can't make it drink.

You can toss the hippie in the river and the hippie will be just as angry.

It gets annoying rather quickly.
I'm not saying that there aren't people that are going to give you a hard time because of your choices - I'm simply saying that your rights haven't been taken away. There is a difference between people giving you a hard time and not having the same rights as everyone else. You aren't going to be arrested, executed, or locked up because you don't have children.

I live in New York. Being single with out children isn't really a big deal - no matter what your age is. At least not in my social circle.

I would have thought that being arrested, executed, or incarcerated for not having children wasn't too far off in the future. Considering in the US where breeding like rabbits to produce future taxpayers was of the utmost importance.

Let's be serious here. That's just ridiculous. I'm not sure if you are attempting to be funny or you honestly believe that drivel but it's ridiculous.

Of course I don't believe it but it may not be such a bad idea.

Forcing people to either have children or not have children is utterly ridiculous.
