I've just spoken to a doctor from the clinic where I'm getting the vasectomy done. She's agreed to do it, but she also tried to talk me out of it on the basis that I'm too young.
I don't understand this reasoning. At 25, I'm old enough to vote, drink, own a gun, drive a car, and, get this one, old enough to decide to have kids. Or, indeed, have six of them already. But I can't decide not to? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I would have thought that having kids was more of a decision than not having them. More life-changing, more expensive, more of a strain on an already over-strained planet?

A lot of things I knew five years ago have been proven to be crap. Five years from now I confidently expect to think I was full of crap right now.
It sounds wierd that you couldn't learn from, or change as a result of your experiences (or even biological imperatives)

Some people just know. And it's not nice to mock them for that knowledge.
