Strongly disagree: it's perfectly normal and rational to not want kids, for the reasons listed above. You don't need to be neurotic, selfish, or lazy to not want kids. Doesn't mean the thought won't cross my mind on the regular, just not something to act on.

I said most, not all. There is something strange or off about most people I know who don't want children, including myself. I'd almost say that the fact that you can stand against the social pressure to get a kid is evidence enough that you are strange in some way, if you can break that norm then you have probably broken several other norms as well.
It never ceases to amaze me that you have to be so pedantic when saying something like this. I don't want to write a lengthy disclaimer explaining priors and terms - the entire point would drown in unnecessary prose. It obviously applies to normal families with normal parents with normal children. The love and affection from normal children to their normal parents are for all intents and purposes unconditional.
