I am very happy with the skill of the South African doctors who've moved here. From what I understand South Africa is crime-ridden and dangerous, so it's no wonder their doctors want to move to relatively safe and crime-free Canada.

They make up for all of our Canadian trained doctors moving to the US.

Well, three of my children are university grads, and hard-working decent people. My youngest is still in elementary school. They are my contribution to the next generation, and to the betterment of society. Procreation is not an animal instinct. Parenting is a noble calling. If you choose not to have children, that's your choice, but don't criticize me for choosing to have children.
It seems to me that you are the silly one, choosing not to have children because you are afraid of raising a criminal.
If everyone chose your path, there would simply be no "next generation" Our species would cease to be, and our past left to the fossil records.

Not the legacy I choose.

I respect other people's choices. Some people are not meant to have children. Unfortunately, some don't realize it until after they already have some.

It's not a need. It's who I am, and who I was meant to be. I was meant to be a parent, I love raising children. I'm good at it and it's fulfilling.

to live soley to gratify my selfish desires would be a meaningless existence.

I feel sorry for you that you think a person can't be a parent and still be complete and have a full life with their own interests.

Because of my children I will never disappear.

Only the weak in intellect resort to insulting people they don't know

You're too feeble minded to understand. Children are not a self image tool! A parent is who I am.

Raising children and grandparenting are so much a part of my self image that I cannot comprehend choosing not to have children.

When you are doing all these photo ops, shouldn't someone be taking the photos? Fat lot of good it does to be promoting yourself when nobody's watching.

The grassroots find Ignatieff irritating and creepy

This is one way he can avoid saying something stupid, or looking weak. Shut up and hide!!
