When I go to the dentist, and she takes an X-Ray, I lift up that lead shield and introduce harmful radiation to my reproductive organs. That's how I roll.

You need to stop pretending that this is some kind of philosophical choice not to procreate and just admit you don't wear pants to the dentist.

How else is she supposed to check my prosate?

I have two kids.

I have to say my younger brother is a pretty awesome dad, all things considered.

He jokes around with his kids and makes them laugh all the time. He has even taught them how to laugh at themselves and tolerate the laughter of others at their expense, a very important lesson for teenagers.

He allows them to mock and tease him in jest, but in serious matters he always maintains the upper hand, and there's no question when he's being serious. He always takes the time to make sure they understand the underlying reasons of any rules he makes them follow. All my nephews and my niece are very good kids with good values, lots of personality and a healthy outlook on life.

My brother is a great dad. If I ever have kids I will try to raise them in much the same way he raises his.

If it happens, there will be two, close in age, the sex doesn't matter. One plays drums/percussion, the other plays bass. Period.

As soon as I can afford a car to park on the lawn.

I don't ever plan on reproducing. Last time I checked, my girlfriend of nine years is not interested in having children either.

I know I would be a godawful parent; I can see some of my parents' least-favorable traits in myself the older I get, and I don't want to subject a child to them.

Most importantly, the idea of being wholly responsible for another human's well-being is horrifying to me. There's too much to chance, however careful you are about things.

No. Fucking. Way.
