children

how important are children in our world?
What if there were to be no more children born again ever?

[B00]

I love your questions danny, they always make you think :-)

As for the world, it'll tick along very nicely without children in it. Sure it'd be over run with animals at first but eventually nature will sort that one out.

The human race however would be a bit knackered if we stopped producing offspring.

i was thinking more of the psychological affects. I live outside a school...and as the weathers been so nice ive been sitting outside more. The sound of children playing is incrediably
unique.

How haunting would it be to know that the sound will NEVER be heard EVER again? To NEVER hear a baby cry? To NEVER hear them laugh again?

Personally...i believe it would be a depressing world...children give us something...that...i dunno...i cant describe...a world without children...? wow...for me personally...its a powerful and haunting prospect.

The world'd be a horrible place without children danny. I love evetry sound my own make - even the rude ones!!

[enjoyingit]

It would be a silent world! :(

[Ice.Maiden]

Only people who don't like children'd prefer a world without them.

"how important are children in our world? "

Most important ... they are the future.

[Ice.Maiden]

Absolutely, and if there's a future, there's hope.

without children the world would die, the sounds they make,the joy they bring is so special, the world would be a very sad place, children laughing is one of the loviest things you could wish to hear

[B00]

Bah ray, the world wouldn't die at all. Infact ecologically speaking the world would more than likely benefit if we as a race stopped having offspring.

did anyone watch the documentary called life after humans? it was on over the easter weekend..that was really interesting.. it showed how much is needed to be done by humans...200 years or so after humans all the big structures would collapse like the statue of liberty and eiffel tower.. it was interesting tho.. electricity on the hoover damn was the last electricity to go... apparently that doesent need people to run it... i didnt know that..lol

[raysparx1]

Lol, @ B00, yea course the world would go on, but i meant in the fact that it would not be somewhere nice to live, cos the sound of children laughing is very special, the animals would be ok, but I would not want to live in a world without them special little things that drive us crackers but we would die for, :-)

and anyway cows would be exploding all over the place cos there udders would fill up till they were like barrage balloons cos we wouldn't have any farmers left to milk them .

Just come on here after being out in the garden with my grandsons. We moved some big stones and there were some frogs under them, my 19 month old grandson has been watching them hop around and giggling hysterically the way that babies do, you know when you all start laughing just at the sheer joy of hearing them laugh. A world without that sound? No thank you.
