I don't want children. I imagine I'm not the only one. Get a dog or a cat or a goldfish or a cactus instead.

99.9% of people disagree with you. You might not be the only one but you are part of tiny minority which doesn't influence anything. For every person like you who doesn't want kids there are hundred families somewhere in developing world with 5-8 children.

Hans Rosling had a great TED talk or two on the subject!
