I saw this thread when it first went up (I think I may have even seen the first version, too), and I've been thinking about it all day.
Everyone and everything has the right to survive and reproduce. Usually that costs something else it's ability to survive and reproduce, but that's nature for you.
So there we go - everyone has the right to breed if they see fit. If they don't, so be it.
That part is pretty simple to me. You exist therefore you have the right to reproduce.
What's more complex is whether or not we have the right, as Art and the Chinese would have it, to tell people NOT to reproduce, especially if they've already done so once. Personally, I say "no" because that's about the cruelest thing I can think of.
The_Wife recently told me that she doesn't feel like our family is complete. I honestly disagree. I like only having 2 kids - even numbers, we're almost out of diapers, etc. But how can I tell the woman I love that she's wrong about this? Hint: I can't.
Honestly, I really and truly only care about one penis in this world - mine. That's the one I'm responsible for, and I don't give a rat's ass what other guys do with theirs. You stick it in whomever you want and wrap it or not. Me = big old cup of don't care. But if you were to try to convince me that I don't have a right to reproduce to my face, I'll probably take a swing at you, regardless of how much I know you're going to kick my ass.
