[edit] Another thing to add to "motivation"

I [I'm sure I'm not the only one] refuse to have kids for fear of pedophiles. You never know. It could be a friend, family member, teacher, etc.

And child kidnappers. People who can't have kids, who kidnap and murder pregnant women, to steal their babies. Just a suggestion.Email/User:Maersayer 23:31, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

That makes little sense as a motivation, please do not include it Zalgo 21:35, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Trait wording

Someone from IP 70.171.239.21 keeps changing the wording:

childfree people tend to be less conventional, more highly educated, and professional

to:

childfree people tend to be eccentric, intellectual, and professional

The term "intellectual" does not mean the same thing as "more highly educated"; nor does "eccentric" mean the same thing as "less conventional". Myself and GoodDay have reverted this change twice, but the aforementioned individual has now reverted our revisions twice.

To 70.171.239.21: please do not change that line again until you have made a case for it here. Thank you.

The wording in the first statement is strongly awkward at best, his change is better. Zalgo) 21:35, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
