After a while the travels and parties get old... Besides, if you really wanted to, you could still do all that with kids. It's true that you can't really rationally decide to have a kid, because you can not know beforehand what it is like. In the same vein, why do people have pets? Seems just as irrational... But why - why live at all? What is the point of anything? As for the overcrowded planet, most of the overcrowding seems to be done in other countries. In my country population count is falling. Having kids seems like a pretty fundamental human right, so why should I give that up just because some other people can't control themselves (and I know it is a more complex issue)? Are you sure that you haven't been brainwashed? Some people benefit if you believe that you shouldn't have children. Meanwhile the people owning the TV stations and newspapers probably have 20 kids with different women, who will happily take up the space you are not occupying with your own children.
