It is impolite to criticize the life choices of another person, especially when those choices don't involve or affect you.

  Lets not pretend these choices don't affect other people. It affects everyone when someone does or does not decide to reproduce. It is meaningful.

  Not having children actually does effects you, our whole system is built on the fact that we'll produce new generations which will be larger and produce more capital to support us. So if people deciding enmasse not to have children at the appropriate age (this includes me btw) they are screwing things up for everyone. Also if we all were polite and politically correct we would still be living in the dark ages, it was impolite to say the least to criticize the church, it was impolite to talk about ending slavery, integration, human rights, women's rights, gay rights and every other social movement that made our society what it is today. Social changes can only be created when people act radically in direct opposition to the norms of society.

    As it stands, there's the baby boomers waging war against their offspring by bleeding to death the societies they live in for their own benefit. That notion of "new generations [are required] to support us" can go die in a fire. (was that sufficiently impolite to prevent living in the dark ages?)
