Any living organism can breed. Those who take care of their kids and have them because they want them and are willing to take on the trials and responsibilities of raising kids are not called breeders; they are called "parents."

I have no kids, have no desire for kids but love all my friends kids dearly - I am constantly told how I'm gonna regret not having kids when I'm older and 'wait til your biological clock starts ticking'...meh, if I want one then I'll go adopt one of the hundreds of thousands of children out there who need someone to love them. I adore Sandra Bullock - she's always seemed so normal. I read something a very long time ago about her giving vast sums of her own money to charity but always anonymously - nice that people can do that without needing the world to know about it *cough* Oprah *cough*.

Breeding more humans. And that's so true. Aside from the fertility issues some couples face, for most people its so easy to start popping out more babies than they can handle. And it is sad that sometimes the most deserving of parents can't have a child, and the most awful seem to breed them by the busload. I wish people would take parenthood more seriously. They just seem to pop out the kid, let the child do whatever they want, and let the child raise him/herself. Its really sad.

I can't even begin to count how many times I've had to ward off evil mothers who think (and insist!) I'm making a mistake. Just for laughs I started telling them I thought they'd made a mistake by having kids. You wouldn't believe how insulted they were. Now you know how I feel!! FYI: that's why we use the word "breeders." It's sort of a back-at-ya for all the years of torment we've endured for not having kids. Don’t have any kids and don’t want them.

Irreverant, funny, and probably lots of fun to be around. I met someone who went to high school with SB. She told a story about SB finding out that her boyfriend had stepped out on her. Well, apparently, she stormed into a party, ran into him, and slugged him in the face. Now thats a move I can see her doing. Do we wonder why she and Jesse James are such a good match?

By the way, "breed" is a perfectly acceptable term for human copulation, subsequent pregnancy and birth. To breed merely means to produce offspring-it has no negative connotation.

She sounds like a mature kind and loving person. The term "breeder" is no more offensive (in fact - much less offensive) than the term "childless". Childless implies that someone has less by not procreating, whereas "breeder" means just that - that someone bred - had relations that resulted in procreation. That's what breeding is.

The money and technology used in trying to conceive a bio child would be better spent taking care of the kids who are already here. Sandra Bullock is a good role model for the young ones of today.
