Unfortunately, yes.
In my most humble opinion everybody should listen to me.

Sending cards for births is pretty common though, certainly not only for old fuddy-duddies.

I hope I can pay my own pension.
And yeah, we do need kids, but until they're 12 or something they're pretty darn annoying 
I'll never have them

IMO, those who don't have children are missing out on one of the biggest challenges (and possibly - the biggest rewards) of being human.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

They stop playing outside so I don't hear them as much

IMO you miss out on sleepless nights, crying, poop diapers, drool, vomit, food everywhere, a lot of mess, freedom to do whatever you please whenever you please, school troubles, and you're saving a lot of time and money.
Unfortunately, I don't miss out on the crying, the neighborhood babies are making sure of that (I live in a "starter neighborhood" where mostly couples in their late 20's and early 30's live).
They touch everything with their tiny droolish paws, especially food, which they then put back because they didn't want it after all.
Babies are ugly to boot. "He looks like his father" is basically saying his father is a bald, fat, trollish blob that's out of proportions and may be a man or a woman, but you can't tell. I only know the baby's a he because I asked the parents.
I have never liked kids, not even when I was a kid myself.
When kids are around I'm never really at ease and if they're really young I get a bit of smear fear.
It's a VERY unpopular opinion that even offends people (sorry if it does) and sometimes makes it difficult to make friends (and get dates), especially at my age
I try to shut up about it, but sometimes people ask and I'm not a liar...
It's only one of my very unpopular opinions, but the most unpopular BY FAR!

Careful what you wish for. Once the SJWs are on Hallmark's payroll, you're gonna be longing for the days of the old stereotypes.

Or is it a new beginning?
Either way one thing is sure: This Friday I am checking out from work, and from the Lounge as well (occasionally peeking at the Daily Griff). For five months I am changing tracks, going back to uni for Cinema Studies. I needed a break and this should be fun. Back in February. Cheerz!
Pop quiz: what movie is the post title implying?

Armageddon?
DOOM?
Or just This Is the End (2013) - IMDb[^]
Loads of 'em, really.

Apocalypse Now?
Mad Max? (The end of civilization)
The Muppet Movie? (The end of intelligent civilization)
The Black Hole? (Swallows everything, except political promises)

Yes Apocalypse Now, even though Mark Wallace nailed it before you.

Wasn't the Doors song featured in Apocalypse now?

I could use a royalty free version of that song, but I'm probably out of luck there. It would be for a video, even when the little star is still getting some makeup. At least I already have a royalty free version of this[^].
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I read the subject and now have a Doors track on auto repeat in my head! Possibly linked to watching Apocalypse Now...

Actually, I'll do what I can - but I'm off to a funeral in an hour, so if it isn't solved by then, I'll post the solution instead.
