curlcoat...yet again.

Are you fucking retarded?

Maybe they just wished their zygote had never implanted?

Oh and I just figured out curlcoat’s username. Baby shower present: coathanger.

:stuck_out_tongue:

You nailed it.

And how many dopers would that be, exactly?

And that what she characterizes as ‘OMG over the top’ may actually be not that dramatic- her scale might be skewed so that even moderate enthusiasm seems extreme.

That was the frustration in the thread- no one disputed that every preg may not be a fantastic thing, but that

  1. We didn’t see this universal extreme reaction she seems to be surrounded by

  2. People could very well be having the serious talk in private and be supportive in public.

She never conceded that huh, maybe some of the posters had a point that she hadn’t thought of. She just stuck adamantly to her guns and dismissed every answer to the question she posed!

Read, but didn’t post in that thread.

Nope. I’m a GIS Programmer/Systems Analyst. Perhaps I take a more logical look at things than some.

I also don’t think that attempts at sixth grade school yard insults are necessary or productive. Even in the Pit.

Look, I would never berate or put down a woman in public for a ‘bad idea pregnancy’. I also would not fawn over her telling her how happy I was for her. Can’t do it.

I thought that curlcoats OP was an honest and interesting question. And felt the pitting was unnecessary. I’m not defending her, just her OP.

I’ll own that. Probably, very few.

On which the OP of this thread challenged her premises. Do you have any material support for the claim that people are “so happy” when they hear about the pregnancies of an unemployed/unmarried woman?

A retarded GIS Programmer/Systems Analyst.

Only anecdotal. Don’t think there has ever been a scientific study on this.

I’ll be sure to send your brilliantly crafted retort to my boss.

Out of here for now. My wife and I are going to lunch and a movie.

Use protection.

Has anyone posted links to curly’s anti-kid bias? Or did I miss it?
(Yeah, I could look for multiple examples myself, but this way I get to share the hunter/gatherer fun).

Yes, I think her scale is skewed in that way, and I also think her scale is skewed so that even a slightly less than ideal birth situation seems to her to be “dire circumstances.” This is because she hates all babies, and so can’t imagine that anyone would want one under any circumstance.

Every post? No. But multiple multi-paged train wrecks stick out. She is one of those posters.

Her OP might have been honest and interesting from another person. Given her history any thread about babies from her sends up red flares. And then predictably she was unwilling to listen to others.

As stated earlier, she is pro-abortion. Not as in the pro choice sense. In the “the Chinese government doesn’t go far enough” sense.

Have you ever gone to a wedding and thought my god these two are going to be divorced in two years? Or thought the groom or bride was a moron unworthy of marrying anyone? What did you do? Tell everyone there you thought it was a bad idea? Or did you just smile, eat, dance and tell both people congratulations?

The same thing is with the pregnancy. When my sister-in-law announced she was seven months pregnant with her fourth child in a marriage I knew to be very shaky, I didn’t tell her I thought that was a profoundly stupid idea. I came to the christening, cooed at the baby and congratulated her.

I have no idea why Curlcoat or you can’t seem to understand simple, polite human behavior.

What’s wrong with that?

Holy out of context, Cat Whisperer.

I don’t know what you mean.
