I’m pretty sure that the bible says that killing your kids is okay.

That was the Old Testament. In the New Testament Jesus said that what you did to the least you also did to him…but then again, we went and crucified _him_, so I guess it’s o.k. to kill the least again.

This is horrible. You are supposed to microwave kids not through them into the drink.

Oh, him-her, mother-father, victim-attacker – let’s not quibble over details like this.

Thus waiting until after January 1 to do it. He gets a full year’s exemption for 2015.

Hmm, can you get a partial exemption for, say, cutting off a leg, or do you get the whole amount so long as you keep the head?

I haven’t given killing children much thought. I’ll have to think about this a little before I actually take a side.

Don’t leap to any conclusions. There’s an upside that doesn’t get much airplay.

Man, I’m glad I didn’t start that “Parents who don’t kill their kids enough” Pit thread I was contemplating.

I think you misstated that. It should be “Parents Who Don’t Kill Enough of Their Kids”.

Hey, it can happen.
There is even a statue depicting a man’s heroic stand against a baby horde.

I think we should teach the controversy. If murdering kids was good enough for God, then it should be good enough for us.
As for the OP, no, we don’t need to evolve and stop this someday.

Until any one of you have had to sit through 30 or more viewings of Frozen in a month, I don’t think you have any damn right to judge this poor bastard.

I am really disappointed there’s no diatribe about how everyone in Florida are family murdering nutjobs, you people are falling down on the job.

He probably just got sick of hearing “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?” and finally snapped.

Yesterday, my wife called me “Michael Jordan” and asked me to translate a car repair manual in Albanian. I guess I shouldn’t let her near our kid for a while.

It really irks me when idiots do this in Florida. Listen to the friggin’ song: she clearly says _Tallahatchie_ Bridge, not Tallahassee Bridge. The Tallahatchie Bridge would be in Mississippi, that’s two states over. You just look like a moron doing it in Florida.

We are. Natural Selection favours parents which don’t kill their offspring, at least not until those offspring have themselves reproduced.
