See what you’re doing there? I am not comparing children to those things. Why do you feel that it somehow helps your argument to believe those things? Do you need to do that to try to make what I’m saying so ridiculous that it couldn’t possibly be true?
Did I accuse you of comparing children to spreadsheets and computers? OH NOES! THE HUMANITY! Children are being compared to spreadsheets and computers!!!
You used spreadsheets and computers as examples. You’re saying that when interacting with children you need to love them, not like spreadsheets and computers. As in, they’re human. My example was to show you that you can work with humans on your job without he need to love them or even like them. It is possible to do your job properly without loving people you interact with.
So please stop with the silly overreacting and downright misrepresentations. You know very well I am not comparing a child to a rapist. You’re not stupid.
I know you’re quick to come in and pick apart anything said by anyone who doesn’t like children, but have you noticed that the most hateful things are being said by the people who are here to convince us that people who don’t like children are sick, sad, and pathetic? That doesn’t seem to cause you to bat an eye.
I’m accusing you of being incapable of teaching your child about class and compassion because of your responses here. It is quite easy to see that you are BANKRUPT when it comes to those things. [/qoute]
And I know that you are wrong–you are cherry picking-just like I am when I bring up your past food disorder. We don’ know each other and how we deal with real life.
Nope–I did not look down my nose–I doubted curlcoat and if you really knew me you would know this. If I regret anything I have said, it would be that you or anyone else would think that I have the intentions that you have attributed to me. I did not mean it to come across as it did.
Cite, please? Doubting and making fun of are two different things I do not believe that Curlcoat is disabled to the point that she cannnot hold a job
I was asked to refrain from using the word cunt on about page 4 or 5. Not my rules, but I do have to appreciate that you picked it up
Yes, you did. Taking care of these things is like taking care of children.
You can’t, since you did that. I came up with the example of balance sheets and computers, but you said that one does not need to like one’s job to be good at it. That might be true for accounting, architecture (another example), cleaning toilets, but not for taking care of children.
Nor for teaching, btw.
Well, if you don’t, why do you mention taking care of rapists with taking care of children? If you can’t compare them, your argument is void.
You are desperately trying to be offended by this and I will not play your offenderati game. You know damn well that I wasn’t comparing children to rapists, I was showing where one can do a job without liking the people they are taking care of. You want so much to try to twist that to be something you can be offended by, but you’re going to argue it alone because I refuse to have a discussion with someone who is so blatantly disingenuous. You absolutely know what I meant and you are trying to twist it to suit your needs. Have fun with that.
Yet here you are, bringing up something that has NOTHING to do with this conversation to try to use it against me because I took exception to your disgusting comments to another poster about her looks.
Yes, you did look down your nose. See below where you called it “cute” that she worked all her life to be a flight attendant (first being bitchy and saying stewardess) as if that was a shameful thing to be after a lifetime of work. Then you behave as if YOU are first class and she’s not first class material. Really classy. Seriously.
You are right about this, your comment was above one and I read them together. I see now that you are doubting her disability because you feel that there is something she can do. My mistake and I apologize for that. I’ll happily subtract that from the list of other things you’ve said that are nasty.
Yes, you were told not to do it but you have so few words in your vocabulary that you couldn’t come up with something else? Use your words, try harder next time.
I can tell you this, I am not going through 1700+ posts to find examples for you. Isn’t it enough to show you where you have to stoop to the comments about her looks? Or that you can’t seem to stop calling people cunt who disagree with you? Or that you instantly snapped at the person thanking you for the link? Or that the first thing that your mind went to (on a messageboard no less) that she/he wasn’t a “I don’t know this person’s sex” thing and instantly a slam against gay people? Or that you have to insult Lynn by talking about pill popping and her sad/pathetic life after she’d already posted that she compliments well behaved children in restaurants? She dared to suggest that kids be taught in stages (McDonalds and then Olive Garden and then the steakhouse and then the $$$$ restaurant) and because that goes against what you think that makes her pathetic and sad and a cunt?
In this thread I have supported taxes for kids, said I don’t have a problem with them in restaurants, said I don’t get bent out of shape if one is screaming for a few minutes at the store, and said I don’t hate them. I simply don’t want any and prefer not to be around kids if I have a choice. For that I get the pleasure of you mocking my former eating disorder? You apparently think that eating disorders are really attention getting disorders. This demonstrates plenty about the way your mind works.
What you said to starwarsfreek42 was completely uncalled for and I honestly wondered if you were drunk when I read it. Inbreeding? Lazy eye? No wonder people don’t like posting pictures around here because there’s always some hateful ass who wants to come along and be a prick about it. Well congratulations, today YOU are that prick.
I know what you meant and I am not offended. I think your comparison is plain stupid. Drawing conclusions from your job taking care of rapists and extrapolate it to babysitting?
Logic does not seem to be your strength. I did not compare children and balance sheets, I did the contrary: I pointed out the difference.
…which is why you aren’t collecting your welfare check! I’m sure you’re not reading this, but for the benefit of the rest of the posters, I find it astonishing that you have the nerve to continue to make these statements while you continue to be unemployed. Can’t you make a living doing your dogs?
We asked her that a long time ago (though the question may have been posed to one of the other Haters of Humanity — gee, I wonder if they have a monthly newsletter) and there was no answer. I guess we don’t deserve acoherent answer from the deep pontificator of all things related to children, humanity, and handouts.
You’re going to have to look this one up yourself, loser. Try a search under:
Taxes
Medicare
Community Pantry
Social Security
County immunization programs
Public schools
Disability Benefits (that one will be identifiable by a picture of a door being slammed in Curlcoat’s face)
These are just off the top of my head. There are more.
No one ever said that childless people are sick, sad or pathetic. I have many childless friends. The difference is they don’t hate children. They simply choose not to have any of their own, but acknowledge their role in society and the need to nurture them both individually, should their parents need help, and collectively, because they are the people who will be running the show in a few years. When people come in talking proudly about kicking children, ignoring them, refusing to interact with them even when they’re the children of family members, labeling them a public menace, placing their importance below dogs, and resenting the fact that you can buy food for them off a children’s menu, fercrissake, they’ve earned whatever scorn we feel toward them.
She kicks children. She brags about that on a public message board. A normal person would file that under “an unfortunate lapse in judgement” and never drudge it up again. But no, she felt it was an appropriate addition to the conversation. Sorry…she’s a menace.
Well, Sleeps … begs to differ, at least generally speaking.
I agree with you, but my point was, theoretically you could be good, or at least not bad, in a lot of things you don’t like. But for some of them, you really must love the job and the “things” involved.
Actually, I’d rather not want to defend the point that it is necessary for all jobs, at least not in this thread, but I happen to believe that this is the case.

[li] there’s probably no such thing as an unassailably good reason for anyone, anywhere, anytime to have a kid. That is to say, that for any child-having decision made by a person, there are very likely to be conceivable, reasonable arguments not to have the child. Given that, does it really matter whether some of the pro-child-having rationales are selfish in nature?[/li]
[li] In any case, and despite all what you’ve written in this thread … the logical conclusion of your pg 35 musings is that society as a whole benefits from the selfishness of individuals. To recap: (1) some replacement-level of children need to continue to be born, and (2) the reason any individual decides to have a child is overwhelmingly likely to be a selfish reason, therefore (3) society as a whole benefits from the selfish decisions of individuals.[/li][/ul]
Well, you’d be wrong. It’s really only curlcoat I’ve had an issue with here because she makes a lot of factual errors. “Anyone who doesn’t like children”? Have I attacked you, at all? But you’ve chosen to give me shit, even when I post something light towards you. I have already stated that I actually have ZERO friends with kids and none myself, so you are also making a statement that is factually incorrect. I don’t have a problem with people who don’t have kids and don’t want any. It’s people who are vicious and hypocritical about kids I have a problem with. I don’t have to answer to you for not taking issue with every single poster in a 36 page thread. I’m not sure you really want to get into it with me too now. Maybe better to just walk away.
