You add a word and then go on to explain what you meant by “your friends who do” - posting incomplete thoughts and then blaming it on me? Uh huh
I don’t have any friends who are entitlement minded and/or expect the rest of the world to raise their kids and/or inflict their kids’ meltdowns on the public. Some of my childed friends make just as much fun of “breeders” as I do and have many of the same opinions of the money siphon. Not all of those who have reproduced share your “everything to and for the children” mindset.
It wouldn’t be any news to them that there are people out there that think humans lose worth the older they get.
And sometimes I go a couple of days without time to post here, and people complain about that too.
:rolleyes: I have never said whipped into shape, nor have I said they shouldn’t be allowed into public until that happens.
Also something I haven’t said.
What I have said is that I am tired of paying thousands of dollars a year to what is just a glorified babysitter, and I resent the fact that parents seem to think that I should be happy to spend even more, without any indication that there will be any changes. Children might do better to be educated by wolves than they are doing in the public schools here.
Amazing filter you have there. What I have said is in response to those people who are trying to claim that having children isn’t a selfish choice, by claiming that I will need those children for the workers of tomorrow. While completely ignoring all of the un- and under-employed adults we already have.
This one makes even less sense than the rest.
These three are so far off I’m not even going to bother.
There goes that filter again. In the time I dared to sleep last night, a whole page of posts went up - who isn’t giving it up? And you can’t see the selfish and anti-social in the tone of those posts, and yours?
No one in this thread subscribes to what you attribute to them here. The entire rant revolves around your bursting pride in the inhumanity you feel toward your fellow man. It’s directed at your inconsistent, ridiculous take on welfare and the idea that it only applies to people with children and not the disabled. It’s sick. It’s the stuff monsters are made of. And you embrace it joyfully, which makes you a sick and pathetic life form.
Seriously. Every single point that curlcoat has made, in any of her posts in this thread, has been thoroughly refuted, rebutted, and shown to be ridiculously false. The fact that she is continuing on says to me that she is either 1) a troll (most likely), 2) willfully ignorant/obtuse (somewhat likely, esp. in combination with #1, or 3) the state tree of Ohio.
I will admit that I am continuing to follow this thread mostly out of sick fascination to see just how far it will go.
Everything Calm Kiwi attributes to you is accurate in spirit, if not the precise wording. All of it. Denying it just makes you look like a crazy-ass bitch. Please. Spare us the backpedaling. You aren’t convincing anyone.
(What was it that you were just saying about anti-social?) WAS a child, you brain dead moron. AS a child, they do nothing but take from society with no guarantee that they are ever going to give back. Yet society sees nothing wrong with everyone continuing to over value children and under valuing all adults.
No, I was and am average and that way, I appear to be superior - sadly.
Perhaps you don’t travel that often then and haven’t heard the parents whining in the lobby about how they shouldn’t have to pay full freight for Junior because “he’s just a chyyyyld”. Or “What??? no children’s menu??? She’s not going to eat that much!!!”
At least those places that advertise free for kids stuff make it easier for me to avoid them…
In theory, yes. In practice, one of three freaks (curlcoat & Co, I think it was starwarsfreek42) said that she has a one year old niece which she never saw because she does not allow children in her house.
This comparison does not make any sense. These parents do not ask for tax reductions. They ask business owners to pay for the amount of product they consume. Children DO eat less you know. And business owners are free to grant it or not. And parents are free to leave or not. That’s capitalism.
Does this annoy you?
Just when I thought that she can’t surprise me anymore…
In that case though you’d have to be a good daddy or mommy, or remembrance would take the form of progeny lining up to spit on your grave. These things cut both ways. But after all, dead is dead, and the dead don’t care.*
Sounds like lyrics from a Spinal Tap song.
Of course it’s splitting hairs - they don’t get more money, but they don’t pay as much? How different is that?
I don’t view them as more important than other people. Like that pit thread about people thinking that any random child must be more important to me that my dogs. Why should they be? I don’t know that child, I don’t know it’s parents, I have zero emotional attachment to it yet you all expect that I will sacrific my dogs lives to save it. Those dogs are as important to me as a parent’s children are to them - why are my feelings less important?
Since I am disabled, the chances are that I won’t have as long a life span as the average person. Which of course sidesteps the issue that even if I make it to an average lifespan I may still not get back all of the money I paid in, particularly if you consider lost interest. And meanwhile, I’ll still be paying taxes back to society. OTOH, children take and don’t pay taxes.
What makes you think you suck up fewer resources? As for the playgrounds, here they are not all part of parks. As for parks, here single adults without children are frequently told to move along if they are “too close” to children - not that the parks are all that useable given the number of children using them and their parents sitting on the picnic table benches “watching” them. Since we have so many families living in apartments we tend to have them using the parks as their backyards. However, I do appreciate the parks if for no other reason than it means fewer houses.
