If a couple have 2 children they are doing nothing but creating people to take their place.

Is everything in your world all or nothing?

Show me where I said that everyone should stop having children.

It is not humans vs, nature because we are part of nature. Human beings have to have a reasonably clean environment in order to live. But because we have so much greater intelligence than the other animals, we have the ability to alter our environment much more drastically than they do. And the more of us there are, the more we alter the environment.

If some people choose not to reproduce the human race is not going to be wiped out.

Look around you. There are always going to be those whose drive to reproduce is in overdrive.

They will more than make up for the relatively few people who choose not to or who cannot reproduce at all.

Personally, I would be more prone to call someone who has 6 or 8 or more children wacky. What the hell is that about?

I simply do not understand how people can say that a squeaky clean planet is more important then a human life.
Straw man. Has nothing to do with what I actually said.
