Babies are the duddest, they are boring. A ten year old kid may be annoying but they will have better toys. Or at least I would get them the toys I wanted (Transformers) for their birthdays and Christmas. They would also get the latest games playing machine, but Dad would deem the games too sophisticated, and 'confiscate' it! hahahaahah!

I used to swear I would never ever have kids. Now, I'm not sure. I definitely advocate adoption b/c I think it's a crime that there are kids with no homes while some couples will pay tens of thousands of dollars to fertility doctors in order to birth litters.
Bottom line, I'm not sure but not adverse to it. I love playing with babies.

That said, I admire those who go w/ out kids and take advantage of everything that opens up. I think it's possible to go further in creative endeavors w/ out children, for example, if for no other reason than all the extra time it frees up.

Still, looks interesting & I'll check it out.

The lesson here is: STAY INSIDE, OR KIDS WILL TRY TO ATTACH THEMSELVES TO YOU!!!!!!!!

Reason Stockhausen = greatest composer of all time is not his actually somewhat patchy music (nothing good since Stimmung, 1968), but the fact that he took four wives — and not in series either, but in parallel — in order to sire an AVANT GARDE ORCHESTRA to get his music played. This = Eevil Genius Supreme.

(I just finished watching buffy and read you happily saying "I am obnoxious" and therefore now imagine that you look exactly like Buffy's sister Dawn. This is surely nonsense.)

Maria- sorry to assault you with bad mental images. I have, in my many years of competitive foulness, learnt the look and block technique. I can type and not visualise :) And though the norsemen don't have a monopoly on white supremacy I think they should, statements of a white supremasist nature sound stupid unless you are distracted by the accent

I'd pick Medea. That's a scary one and my real name has people yell "Oh that's so cute!" or "it's just like Oliver Twist!" or other random stupid things.

This outbreak of tardenishness has been brought on by whichever kids threw eggs at our house and let our tyres down for not answering the door on Hallowe'en because we were out of town. Whether they were genuinely outraged at not being given sweets or whether they thought it was a top excuse and opportunity to demonstrate their contempt for us without us knowing who to blame, I don't know. Yeah, as wilful damage to other people's property goes we got off pretty lightly, but I've been feeling grumpy enough as it is anyway...

so the person would have been better off certainly if they had just gotten a hobby, or job even. sad mothers are a shame, and enthusiastic mothers disgust me. if they knew what love is, they wouldn't use it for children, etc.
I allow that there might be some magic feeling that comes from creating and raising children. but until I experience anything like it myself, I am morally obligated to trash parentdom. and either way, the odds are against that supposed magic feeling prevailing, judging by the sadness of most child-bearing adults, so it is not a justification for all the birthing that occurs in this world.
another point is that 'the innocence of children' is a myth. children are rarely happy. children are either morose or distraught; those are the two biggest emotions.
