An 18-year-old high school student was arrested on terrorism charges over material he posted on Facebook.

Jihadists *behead* a British *soldier* in *public* on a London *street*. Thus must end. One of them says on video: "We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you. The only reason we have done this is because Muslims are dying every day," he said in a video clip that was shown on the ITV website. "This British soldier is an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. - "I apologize that women have had to witness this today, but in our land our women have to see the same," the killer continued. "You people will never be safe. Remove your government, they don't care about you." - Witnesses said the attackers shouted "Allahu Akbar," - British Prime Minister David Cameron, who cut short a visit to Paris, condemned the killing as "truly shocking," and said there are "strong indications" that the attack was terror-related. He asked Home Secretary Theresa May to call an urgent meeting of the government's emergency committee.

I think it would be interesting to investigate if people who chose not no have kids have common personality traits.
Here is something about me. I can say I am a natural childfree, I mean I never wanted children, never was fond of them, and never even played with dolls as a child. I can't say my personality is very unusual, there are some people like me who have kids, but I think there are traits which are related to my CF choice.
I have a large personal space. Not that I am a "loner": I get alone with people in general, have good work relationship and a healthy social life. I work in the field of science, and most of my work requires concentration, attention to the details, and adhering to certain routines. As I like to say, developing a good routine is a half of success. However, I prefer to work with a team of strong professionals and do not like to teach. It is very hard for me to explain how to do something, even if I do it very well on my own. In social life, I had never been a party animal (well, maybe a little bit in my teen years). I prefer quiet gathering with some kind of intellectual or sporting activity. Of sports, I prefer shooting sport (bull's eye is the best), because it involves a lot of focus and concentration. Also I do some running and cycling, usually alone, since a companion would distract me and the quality of my workout would diminish. I need considerable amount of time to be alone, which I use for reading, doing crafts, or just thinking. I may enjoy a significant other to sit nearby in silence, but do not appreciate a conversation. I also like to travel alone, and feel great going to vacation accompanied just by myself.
At the same time, I easily make contact with other people, especially those I meet while traveling. Communicating with family members is difficult for me. Why is that? Because when communicating with strangers, I don't feel pressured. Strangers don't care much about me, don't try to make me to live their way, but tend to talk about themselves and share interesting stories. I really enjoy talking with people who have unusual life experiences. I like to listen. In contrast, family members feel that blood relationship gives them a right to impose their believes and norms on me, to dig into my personal life, to ask questions I consider simply tactless or impolite, and to repeatedly raise subjects I already openly refused to discuss.
I am a cat person. Cats make a mutual agreement with you. Cats are independent and keep their distance. Cats are quiet. Cats don't require discipline and, most importantly, are not hierarchical. I am not a fan of dogs because you have to train them and you have to show them who is the boss. A dog is either a leader or a slave. A cat is a partner. I just hate disciplining someone, I hate conflicts, I hate bossing around. I let people and animals live and expect the same from them.
I don't like to rush. I wake up early to have enough time to sit and slowly eat a good breakfast before work. Pushing me results in a disaster. I start panicing, forget things, mess everything up, and never get anything done. I don't lime to be interrupted when eating, especially in the morning. So, when I eat my breakfast and plan a day, my phone is off. Too bad if you need me right now... Nothing is more important than a tasty, nourishing breakfast eaten in comfort.
I don't have close friends, although have a lot of acquaintances. Just don't like to be close with someone. Close friendship means too much responsibilities. You will have to listen to someone's whining, and I don't like that.
I avoid responsibilities and obligations at all costs. My job is enough. My life credo is simplification. I don't own a house because I don't want to be responsible for mortgage and maintenance. Renting is much better. Just pay a rent and call a landlord if your pipe cracked. Ideally, I want to live in a large  southern city in a full service apartment, where someone does everything and you only pay. I don't have a feeling of "home", to me anyplace where I stay is a home, and most of my life is outside of it. Also I am a 100% urban person. I like city life not only because of convinience of public transportation and all the beauties of civilization nearby, but also because in a city people are by far less involved with their neighbors than in rural area. I really don't like the mentality of watching after someone. I don't need anyone to watch after me, and will never watch after another person. Mind your business.
Importantly, I am extremely sensitive to pain and physical discomfort. All my teeth extractions were done with sedation. For my recent sterilization surgery, I made sure they will load me with all the comfort meds they have on board, and give me prescriptions for all those meds. I rejected two surgeons of whom I heared they don't pay enough attention to comfort, and had chosen the one who does. Even in everyday life, if I did not get enough sleep, or am hungry, you better stay away for your own safety ;) I simply would not be able to deal with horrors of pregnancy and birth, and with craziness of having an infant at home.
in short, I think my unwillingness to have kids is related to: large personal space, feeling burdened by close emotional contacts, bad teaching abilities, adherance to certain routines, tendency to avoid responsibilities, lack of feeling of "home", and inability to tolerate physical discomfort.
Is there something in you what you think is a base for your decision to be CF?
